The wall of the shield is at one side of the transverse center of the thimble provided with openings B, and C designates a projection of convexed form upon the outer curved surface of. the shield and which, when the shield is applied to a finger and pressure applied, will tend to raise the embroidery work so that the needle may be easily passed through the fabric, and serving as a means for protecting the end of the finger.
