GLOVE-POINTING GAGE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 20, 1920.

Application'filed December 9, 1919. Serial no. 343,654.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE SYLVANUS WEBB, Jr., a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Sidney, county of Delaware, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Glove-Pointing Gage, of which the following'is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyin drawings.

eretofore in the pointing of gloves the accuracy of the operation and hence the appearance of the finished glove depended almost entirely upon the skill and care of the operator.

It is the object of my invention to avold a part at least of the difficulties heretofore encountered by providing a device which, being mechanical, cannot fail to properly perform the function assigned to it.

Referring to the drawings, Figure l is a plan view, looking down upon the work table of the machine, a glove blank being shown in position thereon; Fig. 2 is a vertical elevation of a part of that which is shown in Fig. 1, taken at right angles thereto; Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the gage.

Referring to Fig. 3, the gage consists of a base plate 1, extending through which from end to end is a shallow groove 2, in the bottom of which are countersunk screw holes 3, 3, whereby the gage may be attached to the table of the sewing machine. 4 is a slotted plate adapted to slide longitudinally through the groove 2. It is provided with a set screw 5, which passes through the slot in the plate, whereby it may berigidly held in any desired position longitudinally of the guide. It also has indicating cross lines or their equivalent 6, 6, adapted to register with index lines 7 on the base plate 1 at each side of the groove. 8 is an upwardly extending thin blade-like part, which I call the stop. It is attached to or, preferably made integral with the slotted plate4. The

index lines 7, 7,-.upon the baseplate' indi cate the sizes of the grooves to be pointed, and it will be noted thatthose on one side of the gage are numbered one space in advance of those on the other side. This is for the purpose of adapting the guide to different styles of pointing.

The device is used in conjunction with an appropriatesewing machine for pointing gloves, having an appropriate presser foot. The operation is as follows:

The gage is fastened to the work table 9 of the sewing machine by the countersunk screws 3, with its forward edge adjacent to glove to be worked upon and the style of pointing desired. The operator then, while holding the finger ends of theblank with the stop in its stated position, adjusts the glove blank relative to the needle, so that the pointing will extend in such direction longitudinally of the glove back as desired; that is to say, sometimes the pointing lines will be parallel and sometimes diverge more or less from the parallel as desired. In the drawings, for the sake of clearness in illustration, the three lines of pointing are shown as parallel to each other. The sewing machine is then started and the pointing made in the usual manner, whereupon the blank is then moved so that the stop will be placed in the out between the next two fingers and the operation above de scribedis repeated, and so on until all the pointing is completed.

It will be noted that because of the employment of the gage, the index lines on which are accurately spaced to correspond to various styles of gloves and pointing, the lines of pointing will start at the wrist end of the glove at exactly the right position for the size being worked upon and the style of pointing desired, andthat the length of said lines of pointing. will thus'be accurately and properly assured.

It will be obvious to those who are familiar with such matters that modifications may be made in the details of construction above described and illustrated without departing from the essentials of the invention.

I therefore do not limit myself to the details described and illustrated.

I claim:

1. A gage for glove pointing machines embodyinga vertical stop on the machine in appropriate relation to the needles thereof and adapted to enter the slit between adjoining fingers of the glove blank.

2. A gage for glove pointing machines embodying a base plate, a slideWay in the upper surface of the base plate, a slide adapted to move through the slideway, and a vertical stop on the slide adapted to enter the slit between adjoining fingers of the glove blank.

3. A gage embodying a base plate a slideway in the upper surface of the base plate, a slide adapted to move through the slideWay, a vertical stop on the slide adapted to enter the slit between adjoining fingers of the glove blank, and means to lock the slide at any predetermined point.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

GEORGE SYLVANUS WEBB, JR.
