CASTERS FOR SEWING MACHINES, 
Combination of Patents. 
All ladies using Sewing Machines, have experienced great annoyance and much hard work in mov¬ 
ing their machines from one part of the room to another for the purpose of getting better light, sweep¬ 
ing, etc., etc., and have wondered why somebody would not get up a Sewing Machine Caster. Every 
one has wanted them and waited for them, and now here they are. 
With a set of these Casters the machine is allowed to stand firmly on its feet (not on the Casters) 
while sewing; but by an ingenious, simple, and self-operating device, it is allowed to rest upon the 
Casters for moving about.
