TATTING- DEVICE.
. l'o all ywhom t may 'concern Be it known that I, C LUTHER BRowN,`a citizen of the United States, residing at Chandler, in the county ofy Lincoln andl State of Oklahoma, iave invented certain useful Improvemens 1n Tattlng Devices, of which the following 1s a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. l e n The present invention relates to a machine for use in tatting work, and is adapted to be used for tying knots and the likeV in a quick and eflicientmanner.
The present invention has for van `object to provide a machine or deviceof this nature which may be heldin one hand-and moved back and forth-around one side of a loop or thread to facilitate the tying of the thread inthe knot and to insure-the even` and uniform knotting of the same.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a device of this character which isrelatively light in weight, may be leconomically manufactured and which comprises but relatively few parts requiring no adjustment or attention.
, Further objects and advantages of this invention will be more particularlypointed a out in the following description of the present preferred embodiment, the same being illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein j Figure l is a perspective view of the improved device, showing its application and use. f
Fig. 2 is a top plan. view ofthe device, showing in full and in dotted lines the various positions of the loop with respect to the device as the latter is operated vthrough the loop.
Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view of the shuttle of the device.
Fig. 4 is a-transverse section taken through the holder and the shuttle showing the loose mounting of the shuttle in the holder to permit the thread to pass around the opposite sides of the. shuttle.

has opposite tapering ends 16 andil? which project respectivelyoutwardly from the l forked vend of the handleV and inwardly therebetween, as shown inFig. 2.
' The shuttle 152is provided Aat vits intermediate portion with a vertical socketv or recess into which may be 4fitted :a bobbin 18 v upon whichithe thread 19 is adapted to .be wound. The bobbin 18 is adapted to be placed vertically in the socketor recess in is adapted to engage a pawl 21 which hasits Athe shuttle andhas on its .upper end serraf ii tions orteeth 20 whichvare inset or spaced inwardly from the peripheral edge of saidl bobbin, and with these serrations or teeth pivot-22 disposed a considerable distance in- 'fz'i wardly in the top of the shuttle 15 so that when the pawl is released from the serrations or teeth 20 it engageswith the .peripheral edge of said bobbin concentrically with respect to the serrations or teeth `and thereby v`i.
holds the bobbinwithin the shuttle for the rotation of the same.V When the pawl 21'` is locked Vwith the teeth-or serrations 20 the bobbin is heldagainst rotation. .A spring 23 is seatedin the 'bobbin 15 and engages-'- against the outer linger-engaging end of the pawl 21 to urge the inner end thereof yieldably against the serrations or teeth 20. The.
pivotal mounting of the pawl 21 permits it v1S may be provided with an opening 2itherethrough to receive one end of the thread 19 for holding the latter -in place. The
shuttle 15 is provided with a thread opening 25 which leads upwardly from an intermediate portion of the socket to the upper face of the bobbin, and through which the free end of the thread is adapted to be passed.
Ato move upwardly and outwardly when the if 'The shuttle 15 is provided, in the bottom thereof,"with a stepped bearingl 26 into fits a depending projection 27 formed on the lower end of the bobbin 18 for supporting the bobbin and for permitting the free turning thereof in the socket.
In use, the end of the thread 19 is grasped.
between thethumb and forefinger, and the thread is then looped outwardly over` `the remaining fingers of the hand, Vthe latter being extended outwardly substantially '25 is again free from the device.
straight. This strand 28, or the thread be tween the thumb and forefinger, and the remaining fingers constitutes one side of a loop, the opposite side being turned about the fingers and being caught betweenA the thumb and forefinger, as shown at 29 to securely hold the loop. IThe thread from 'the bobbin extends outwardly through the opening 25 in the shuttle, as shown at 30 and leads to the top of the loop. The device is now moved forwardly by the opposite hand to engage the strand 28 between the prong 12 and the outer pointedend 16 of the shuttle, the strand 25 passing freely between the shuttle and the prong 12 by virtue of the enlargement of the recess 13. rlhe inner end of the fork is rounded, as at 31 so as to direct the strand or thread Q8 around to the opposite side of the fork and against the prong 11. The device is now drawn backwardly and the strand 25 passes between the prong 11 and the rear pointed end 17 of the shuttle and is guided thereby into the recess 13. When the device is drawn back to its fullest extent-the strand During this operation the strand 30 of the thread is carried by the shuttle V15 around-the strand 28 so as to form a knot or tie.
lt will be noted from Fig. 1 that this operation may be carried on rapidly and that the knotting ortying will be uniform and positive, so that the work produced will be of a neater and finer appearance than is possible to obtain without the useV of this device.v lt is of course understood that various changes and modifications may be made in the above specifically described construction, Without departing from the spirit of the invention, and only being restricted by the scope of the following claims.
`carrying a supply of thread in said shuttle.
2. A device as specified comprising ahan- `dle having a pair of spaced apart prongs on its outer end, a shuttle loosely mounted between said prongs, a thread support mounted in the shuttle for carrying a. quantity of'thread, and means for tensioning theV drawing out of said thread.
3. A device as specified comprising a handle provided at one end with spaced apart prongs. a shuttle mounted on said prongs and having loose connection therewith to permit the passage of aV strand of thread around the shuttle between the prongs, a bobbin mounted for Arotation in said shuttle and adapted to carry a supply of thread, and a spring pressed pawl mounted on the shuttle for engagement with said bobbin to retard the rotation thereof, and having one end projecting upwardly for engagement with the finger to release said pawl at times for permitting the free drawing out of the thread.
4. A device asV specified comprising a handle having a longitudinal slot in one end, a shuttle mounted in said end and having inner and outer tapering ends, vmeans for carrying a supply of thread" for the shuttle, and a tension device on the shuttle to retard the feeding of said thread, said handle being adapted to be grasped and moved back and forth about one strand of a loop to twist the thread from the shuttle thereabout and direct said strand around the shuttle in said slotted end of the handle..
In testimony whereof l affix my signature.
