JOHN H. FOO'I'E, OF DAYTON, .OHIO.
THREAD-SUPPORTING DEVICE FOR SEWING-MACHINES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed November 10, 19141. Serial No. 591,540.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN H. Foo'rn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Thread-Supporting Devices for Sewing-Machines; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and, figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to a thread support for sewing machines.
'The object of the invention is to provide a receptacle placed below the spool in sewing machines, to receive the thread dropping from the spool as the latter is rotated by the consumption of the thread.
The device has for its object the prevention' of the thread catching on the spool post, which is an annoyance commonly experienced by the operatives of sewing machines.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a portion of the arm of a sewing machine having the usual spool post. The spool and the feature embodying my invention appear in section in this figure of the drawings. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the thread support, which is a featureof my invention, and Fig 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, omitting the sewing machine arm and in which a spool of smaller diameter is shown.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the thread support consists of a receptacle 1, which is preferably stamped from sheet metal and which may be either japanned or nickeled. This feature has its outer marginal edges 2 turned upwardly to provide an annular space 3, and inner portions turned upwardly to provide annular spaces 4 and 5. The axisof the receptacle is provided with an opening which receives the spool post 7 freely. The receptacle when placed over the spool post, rests upon the arm of the sewing machine as shown in Fig. 1. The inner recess or cavity 5 is de- .3
signed to receive vthe smaller sizes of spools of thread 6, which snugly fills said space when the spool is inserted over the spool Patented July 23, i912.
post 7. In the rotation of the spool the receptacle 1 turns with it, and the thread falling from the spool enters the annular recess 4, or it may fall to any other position on the receptacle. In the case of the larger spools, they are adapted to enter snugly into falling from the spool as it unwinds will drop into the outer recess 3 of the receptacle. The thread thus dropping into either of the the recess 4, and in which case the thread spaces provided in the receptacle,'will be taken up by the demands of the machine and the thread will be prevented from catching on the spool post, or from otherwise re sisting the proper feed to the needle.
Much annoyance is experienced with operatives of sewing machines in handling silk thread, owing to the thread finding its way beneath the spool to be entangled on the spool post. In the use of the receptacle a convenient means is provided for support ing the thread that may drop from the spool in a position to prevent such. entanglement and resistance, and as the threaddrops into machine.
I claim:
A spool holder adapted to be placed over the spool post of a sewing machine andcomprising a spool receptacle having annular recesses 4 and 5 adapted to receive spools of this receptacle or plate, it is taken up by the thread of different diameters, the recess 4 adapted to receive thread falling from spools supported in recess 5, and an outermost recess 3 adapted to receive the thread falling from spools supported in recess 4, whereby the falling thread is prevented from working under the spools supported in said recesses, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN H. FOOTE.
