  • Method and apparatus for automatically finishing the end of a binding strip
    Patent number: 6044783
    Abstract: Prior to being introduced into a sewing machine, an elongated binding strip passes through a plow where it is folded lengthwise to create a recess into which the edge of an article to be bound is received. The strip is trimmed by a cutter to a length longer than the edge to be bound. The trailing end portion of the strip is then folded widthwise, around a retractable rod, by a moveable guide and guided into a plow entrance, after the rod is retracted. The trailing end portion overlaps the leading end portion of the strip as it is sewn to the article, such that only the finished end of the strip is visible.
