Tuck-creas′er.

An instrument for making a crease upon cloth while passing through the machine, to afford a line of fold for the next tuck. Invented by Fuller.

Tuck-creaser.

The illustration is one of many kinds. As the needle-bar descends, it presses on the spring-bar E, which descends on B, and presses the forked bar down upon the cloth and it upon the spurs beneath. See tuck-marker. See also Fig. 4875, page 2121.

The early patents were Singer, 1856; Arnold, Wheeler, and Fuller, 1860.
