Class 46 K

Vertical-Post Sewing-Machine- Double Chain-Stitch.

MANUFACTURERS of Piqué Gloves will readily appreciate the advantages of the machine illustrated above. It is in extensive and successful use by European manufacturers and is preferred because of its convenience, simplicity, ease of operation and uniformly fine quality of work. It is provided with looper mechanism for making an elastic double chain-stitch, the under thread being carried on a spool conveniently located beneath the table. The stitch regulator, shown at end of overhanging arm, is adjustable as desired.

The pivoted guide can be thrown up against the arm so that it is out of the way when not in use, and it appears in this position in the illustration.

The combined top-feed and vibrating presser mechanism is positive in its action and is ingeniously arranged so that it is adjustable to suit various thicknesses and conditions of the material to be stitched.

The clear space from needle to arm is 64 inches, the bed of machine is 11 1/2 inches in length.

The shape and small size of the tapered vertical post peculiarly adapt it for stitching the finger-ends of gloves, the top of the post on Machine No. 46K-1 being but 1/4 inch in diameter and its height 3 5/8 inches.

The post is made in two sections, that next to operator being hinged and arranged to spring open. This readily enables free access to the looper, by swinging a pivoted clamp shown at the base of the post.

Machine No. 46K-2 has a still smaller post that is specially adapted for the manufacture of Children's Gloves.
