No. 12819.—27th July, 1900.—PHILIP PALMER, of Dunedin, New Zealand, Factory-manager. An improved appliance for cutting pockets, angle, circular, or straight, in cloth or other fabric.

Description.—The invention is a tool to be used for cutting pocket-mouths, or openings, in cloth or other fabrics. The tool is variously shaped to make the different cuts required, and may be worked either by hand or by machine-power. Figs, 5, 6, 7, 8 on the diagrams show the tool to be worked by hand-power. The appliance in this case consists of a handle with a cutting-blade at one end (in the same way as a chisel is fastened to its handle), the cutting-edge being at the extremity of the blade. The cut is made by pressing the cutting-edge through the material by means of the handle, or the handle may be struck by a hammer or mallet to drive the edge through the fabric. The blades and cutting-edges are made of various shapes to suit the cuts required to be made in forming the pocket-holes. In the case of welt-pockets, separate tools may be used for making the opposite sides of the opening, or these may be joined together with an adjustable screw, as in Fig. 1, so that the pocket-hole can be cut and made of any required length in one operation, the tool being driven through the fabric in the manner above

ERRATUM.—In Supplement to New Zealand Gazette, No. 73, of the 16th August, 1900, in Trade Mark Application No. 3078, for “Moses Moyes Arnold,” read “Moses Noyes Arnold.”
