MARY BLEASE AND FREDERICK WHITE, OF LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented. Oct. 22, 1918.
Application filed February 14, 1917. Serial No. 148,608.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, MARY BLEASE and FREDERICK WHITE, subjects of the Kingof Great Britain, both residing at Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Holding Skeins While Being Wound into Balls, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention is for improvements on that type of device for holding skeins or hanks of yarn to facilitate the winding of these into balls in which a support or base is adapted to carry a plurality of arms to rotate about an axis on the base, each of the arms having a hook or finger capable of being adjusted relatively to the axis of rotation to engage the skein or hank, and the invention consists essentially in details of construction whereby the apparatus can be closed up into a small space when not in use and immediately opened out when wanted.
The invention is more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of one form of the device.
Fig. 2 is a corresponding side elevation.
A base consisting of a pair of rods 1, 2, pivoted together carries an upright spindle 3 which at the same time mayact as a pivot for the two parts 1, 2, so that these can fold together in a small space.
Mounted to rotate loosely about the axis 3 are a plurality of arms 4, 5, usually disposed in planes one above the other so that they may similarly fold into a small space. The arms 4, 5, may be held relatively to one another frictionally or positive clamping means may be provided if desired. The arms 4, 5, have extensions 6 thereon which may be adjustable, and are pivoted somewhat stiflly as at 7 to the arms 4, 5, to fold finger 12 with a concave surface adapted to engage a skein or hank of wool or the like 13 which is to be wound into a ball.
In use the hank or skein 13 will be passed over the hooks and the arms 10 of these will I be inserted in one of the perforations 9 at a suitable radial distance from the central spindle 3 to stretch the skein to its normal periphery. It will be seen then that as Wool or the like yarn or thread is unwound from the skein 13, the arm 4, 5, will rotate about the axis 3 and prevent entanglement of the skein also feeding automatically fresh yarn 'or thread to the person rolling or winding the ball.
The parts 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are preferably made of wood, but obviously may be mliide of other material such as metal or the li e.
It is however clearly to be understood that it is not necessary'to have the two arms opposite each other formed in one. All four arms can swivel on the center, and can fold up one under the other. The advantage of this is that it takes a very small compass when not in use, as the lathe forming the arms are swiveled into a parallel position, and therefore lie nearly one over the other. The bolt or center-piece on which the arms revolve can have any device Whereby it can be attached to the wall, or to an article of furniture, such as a clamp for instance, or simply a somewhat heavy stand.
We declare that What we claim is A household device applicable for holding skeins of yarn or thread while being wound byhand, consisting of a support, a plurality of arms rotatable about said support, extension pieces on said arms pivoted so as to swing in a horizontal plane about the ends of said arms, a plurality of locking devices one on each arm extension for holding it when extended, and an adjustable finger on the end of each arm extension.
In witness whereof, we have hereunto signed our names this 26 day of January,
1917, in the presence of two subscribing wit- 100 nesses.
MARY BLEASE. V FREDERICK WHITE.

NORTON ARMSTRONG, J. W. LACHTON.
