PITMAN ATTACHMENT FOR SEWING MACHINES. The pitman attachment herewith shown is so con structed that the machine can be operated by the feet or by hand as may be desired. The pitman shown in by a turnbuckle; pivoted to the lower part of the lower section is a clamp and at some distance from the top of the upper section is a second clamp. These clamp ing pieces Fig. 2 have semicircular grooves in their Inner sides and with corresponding grooves in the sec tions form apertures for receiving the pivot on the treadle and the crank of the shaft carrying the hand wheel; the top clamp has two recesses
PITMAN ATTACHMENT FOR SEWING MACHINES. The pitman attachment herewith shown is so con structed that the machine can be operated by the feet or by hand as may be desired. The pitman shown in by a turnbuckle; pivoted to the lower part of the lower section is a clamp and at some distance from the top of the upper section is a second clamp. These clamp ing pieces Fig. 2 have semicircular grooves in their Inner sides and with corresponding grooves in the sec tions form apertures for receiving the pivot on the treadle and the crank of the shaft carrying the hand wheel; the top clamp has two recesses of different sizes to adapt it to shafts of different diameters. On the end of the upper section is a disk Fig. 2 against the inner toothed face of which is pressed a similarly formed disk on the end of a bar having a handle on its outer PITMAN ATTACHMENT FOR SEWING MACHINES. end; a bolt holds the disks together. The handle kar can thus be held and locked at any desired inclinatigh. By means of the turnbuckle the length of the pitman can be increased or diminished as required. The crank shaft can be revolved either by working the treadle with the feet or by means of the rod. In case the ma chine is not provided with this pitman a bar is clamped on the usual pitman near its top Fig. 3 the handle bar being pivoted to this bar; the joint is made with toothed disks for holding the handle at any desired angle. If necessary the curved handle bar shown in Fig. 4 may be clamped directly on the pitman. This invention has been patented by Mr. P. S. Roy of 26 North 15th Street Denver Colorado. AN ELECTRIC ' FRONT-SIGHT ' FOR FIREARMS. In shooting deer or other game for which the rifle is employed there is often a difficulty in getting an aim in the early morning or evening (which is the best time for getting a shot) on account of there not being light enough to enable the front-sight of the rifle to be seen. This invention is designed to overcome this difficulty by means of a temporary f
