US 72.974 William Chicken
Button-Hole Sewing Machine Two Threads
This invention is an improvement on the button-hole machine made under the United States Letters Patent US 49.627 granted for the invention of Daniel W. G. Humphrey, (David Wood Green Humphrey) August 29, 1865 and Letters Patent US 50.253 granted October 3, 1865 and now generally known as the “Union Button-Hole Machine” and it relates specially to an improvement in the means for rotating the disk which operates the cloth clamp or holder, to effect the feed of the work and present properly the edges of the cut in the material to the action of the stitch-forming mechanism. In said machines the cloth-clamp is moved by the conjoined action thereon of a cam-groove cut in a rotating disk intermittently operating on a pin, which passes through a slot of peculiar form cut through a fixed plate placed over said rotating disk. This disk in the Union Button Hole Machines receives its rotation from a pawl acting on ratchet-teeth cut in the edge of the disk the fault of this being that the disk can only be moved in rotation at each inter mission an amount or angle which is deter mined by the action of the pawl on one, two, or more teeth, there being no way in which the movement of the disk can be made through the space represented by any fraction of one of the ratchet-teeth.
The object of my invention is to remedy the defect mentioned by providing a means by which the movements of the disk may be made whatever is desired, instead of being confined to fixed divisions of a circle, like those of ratchet-teeth.

US 73.119 George Rehfuss
Feller for Sewing Machine
The needles are arranged to form an embroidery or button-hole stitch. The thread of the upper needle is conducted through an eye in the needle arm, to the eye at the needle point. The thread of the lower needle is passed through an eye near to its lower end and in a spiral groove to the eye at the point. The upper needle has a regular and the lower needle an irregular reciprocation, the slide being operated by the lever; a vibrating motion is thus imparted to the lower needle shaft.
Claim:
The combination of the upper and lower eye-pointed needles, when the movements herein described are imparted to the two needles, so that by their joint action they may produce,
with two threads, the stitch herein described, in the body or on the edge of a fabric.

US 73.696 E. Cornely
My invention consists in certain modifications to the sewing machine known as the Willcox & Gibbs sewing machine, by the means of which (without changing the principle of said machine and without changing materially its original construction,) the twisted loop-stitch, as well as the Grover & Baker stitch, can be made at the pleasure of the operator. The principal element of the Willcox & Gibbs sewing machine is its revolving hook or looper for making the single thread stitch and upon said looper is founded the superiority of the machine, as by its means it not only is less liable to drop stitches, but a great speed also may be attained, as all the movements of the machine are effected by circular eccentries or crank-motions, in contradistinction to irregular eccentrics or cam-motions, which permit of no great speed. These advantages I have preserved in connection with my improvements for making the single as well as the double thread stitch.

Button-Hole Sewing Machine One or Two Threads
Be it known that I, M. C. Gritzner, a citizen of the United States, temporarily residing at Bruchsal, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanism for Making Button-Holes and zigzag ornaments, sewing around edges, &c., said mechanism being applicable to various systems of one and two-thread sewing machines without changing their character as ordinary sewing machines, for which I applied for a patent in the Empire of France in the month of September, 1867 and which I desire to secure by Letters Patent in the United States of America and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. The object I have in view in this invention is to produce a mechanism possessing the character of an accessory to a sewing machine and applicable to various systems of sewing machines, either as a permanent fixture or as a mechanism capable of being removed in an easy and simple manner by any person of common experience in the use of sewing machines, said mechanism serving to make button-holes, zigzag ornaments and similar work, or to sew around edges.

My improvements relate to that well-known class of sewing machines in which the stitch is made by the interlacing of two threads, by means of a needle and shuttle, or their equivalents. The object of my invention is the adaptation of my improved mode of carrying and driving the shuttle (as secured by Letters Patent, dated November 21, 1854.) to the Howe sewing machines, in which the usual shuttle-race or groove is used for the supporting of the shuttle and the usual driver is used for the driving of the same, although I desire it to be understood that I do not confine my improvements to the Howe sewing machine, but to all others in which they may be used.

Tuck-Creasing Attachments for Sewing Machine
(Guide & Hemmer)
Previous to this invention fabrics were marked or creased by means of a protuberance or point and a notch or indentation caused to impinge upon the fabric from opposite sides thereof. That mode of marking or creasing is open to the objection that fine goods will sometimes be cut by the marking operation, while on heavy or flimsy goods the crease is often insufficiently defined, which notch and point are separately adjustable to each other, as well as to the sewing machine needle. By the invention herein described marks or ridges (and obversely creases) are formed in the fabric by a succession of nips or pinches thereof, while it has motion imparted to it in line with the crease in any convenient manner, but usually the feed mechanism of a sewing machine, for which it is intended to be used as an attachment and said process of nipping or pinching is designed to obviate the objections aforesaid, which are attached to other tuck-markers and produce a more efficient instrument. The said invention comprises the use of jaws, which are caused to descend with more or less force or pressure on the fabric while open and then in being closed are capable of seizing a portion of such fabric and compressing the same tightly, such fabric being properly supported against the force of said jaws and which operation, being repeated while the fabric is moved along, produces the required ridge or crease, in line of which the fabric will naturally fold to facilitate the forming of a tuck or tucks and said invention also comprises certain details of construction, arrangement and combination to adapt tuck markers for use in connection with sewing machines and forming a tuck-creasing mechanism having an upper and under part connected and together adjustable as to its relation with the needle of a sewing machine and operated by a sewing machine
