ABSTRACT:
A machine is shown for marking the spaces for forming the pleats along the top edge of a wall-hung drapery panel and simultaneously marking a fold point on the rear surface of the hem of the pleated drapery panel. The machine includes a workbench with a pivoted tabletop supporting a pair of adjustable mechanisms. The first adjustable mechanism comprises a series of equally spaced bars supported transversely on elongated slide rods. Each pair of bars is connected together by a threaded sleeve. A manually adjustable drive shaft extends through all of the sleeves for changing the spacing between each connected pair of bars in a uniform manner. The second adjustable mechanism may comprise a lazy tong mechanism that is pivotally connected to the first and last bars and every other bar therebetween so as to vary the distance between every other bar in a uniform manner. A third bar is equidistantly spaced between adjacent bars of the first and second adjustable mechanisms and extends forwardly of said adjacent bars. Each bar supports a marking pen. The adjacent bars of said first and second mechanisms mark a point indicating the boundary of the material required for the pleat and the material required for the space between the pleat. The third forwardly projecting bar marks a point on the drapery panel on the lower end thereof equidistantly spaced between the boundary marks for the spaces so as to indicate the fold line on the rear surface of the hem of the pleated panel.
