IMPROVBMENJ. IN INDINGGUIDE IOR'SBWINMAGHINE3.

The Schedule refenefi to in these Letters Patent and maklng part of the ame.

To aZl whom it may concert:

Be it known "chat I, E. F. ANGELL, of Chicago, in the county of 000k, and State of Illinois, have invented au Improved Bin'der for Sewing -Machins; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skill ed in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the aocompanying drawings, and letters marked thereon, making a part of tbis spcification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective representation of 1n }i itn proved binder.

Figures 2 and 3, representations of the adjustable bars whioh support the bindingguides;

Figure 4, a broken view of the under side of tlle binden The nature of the present invention oonsists in the novel construction and arrangement of the bars which support the oloth-guides, they being so arranged as to be adjsted separately'or-independently, by means of two nuts, turned on one screw-bolt, in combination with a guide-plate, which holds the looped euds of the binder in position, and which, together With the bedpla, forms a recess for the lower guide-bar t0 slde in, as the whole is hereinafter fully descrbed. 1

A represehts the top plate, and B, thehedplate of an ordinary sewingmachine biuder, tanninating in loops 0 0, for holding the bindingto the oloth, ,when it-s ben'g sewed on, in the usual manner, and -D'-D represent the ordinary guides for gauging the Width with which the binding is to be* laid on the cloth.

'These parts so far described are we]lknown devices, but they are enumerated more olearly to show the peculiar construction and arrangement of my improve ment. The bars E G, which support the guides D D, are held in position by a single sorew-bolt, H, having a nut, S, placed thereon, between the plates A B and a nut, R, on its upper end, and on the top of plate A.

This arrangement is such that either of the binding-guides, or both of them, oan be set to or from the plate I J, fig; 1-. The plates A B being provided with slots through them, .allows the bars E G to move longitudinafly.

- The partof the plate I J, shown al: J, projects up-/ ward, and fits into-a notch in the edge of plate A, near the 100p C, and that part Sl1own at' -I, faStens to the inside of plate B, and forums a seat for the bar G, as showu at fig. 4, the plate B being. so reeessed out that its lower surface and; the lower surface et bar G are even.

This arrangement is importat,as the plate B can be set closely' to the clotlx-plateot a swing-machine, without interfering with the movement of the bar G.

l he bar E i s providedjth two holes, b, by means of which the upper binding-guide D can be adjuSted a greater or less distance from the guide'J than the lower guide D, for lapping binding furthen on to one side .of the cloth than the other.

J.o make this latter adjustrnent, it is only required that the nut R be 'removed, after which the bar E can be lifted Ol from the screw-bolt H, and moved to the other fiole, b.

The cloth to be bound is put between the loops 0, and the binding to be sewed threon put between the loops 0 0 and plates A B, the nut S holdingthe bars E G in place, and thenut R holding the loops 0 0 the required distance apart.

Those parts of the binder shown at M L"K, are

jsimply the meansused to guide the cloth aftr it leaves the loops or jaws0, but as their' construction and use are well understod, noparticulr description is required. 4 c

Having chus described my invention,

Wliat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The bar G, recesed in plate B, the bar E, the plate I J, fastened to he bed-plate, projecting upward, and serving as a gui e for the plate A, the plates AB, and the srew-bolt H, and nuts R S, for operatng the bindingguides D D, and loops 0 C, when: al] are constructed and arranged as described.
