H. P. HERBERT. SEWING COMPANION. APPLICATION FILED MAR. 15. 191B.
Patented Dec. 31, 1918.
INVENTOR WITNESSES ATTORNEY HARLAND P. HERBERT, OF ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS.
SEWING COMPANION.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 31, 1918.
Application filed March 15, 1918. Serial No. 222,704.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HARLAND P. HERBERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rock Island, in the county of Rock Island and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing Companions, of which the following is a specification. i
The invention provides a device whereby a seamstress or house-wife may have con-' veniently at hand pins, needles, scissors, thimbles, thread, and the like so that stitching, mending or like work may be accomplished in a comparatively short time without entailing the loss of time generally experienced by looking for such articles and which usually are misplaced or not readily at hand.
The invention provides an article embodying a hollow base containing drawers for receiving sundry articles and which base is supplied with cushions for receiving pins and needles, and the base being further provided with a post upon which is rotatably mounted shelves containing pins for receiving spools of cotton or the like of different sizes, colors, and kinds, with the result that the device enables all the articles for sewing to be conveniently at-hand when required.
The drawing illustrates a preferred em bodiment of the invention, however, it is to be understood that in adapting the same to meet different conditions, various changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the nature of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a sewing companion embodying the invention, parts being broken away to show more clearly the structural arrangement.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view showing the drawers moved outward.
1 Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in both views of the drawings by like reference characters.
The device comprises a hollow base 1 which is preferably mounted upon feet 2. The hollow base comprises a top 3 and a bottom 4 which are spaced apart to receive oppositely disposed drawers 5 and 6. The top 3 and bottom 4 are connected at opposite sides by means of strips 7, the latter being attached in any manner to such parts and serving as walls to close the sides of the base. The remaining sides of the base are closed by the fronts of the drawers 5 and 6. A plurality of cushions 8 are attached to the corners of the base and may be of any design and are adapted to receive pins, needles, and like pointed articles.
The drawers 5 and 6 are sub-divided in any manner according to the character of the articles to be placed therein. The drawer 6 is divided by means of a longitudinalpartition into side compartments which are designed to receive scissors, crochet needles, bodkins, and kindred articles. The drawer 5 is subdivided into a plurality of small compartments to receive pins, needles, thimble, and other sundry articles of relatively small size. The drawers 5 and 6 are oppositely disposed so as to secure a maximum space and length as well as to simplify the construction and obviate any lost space.
A post 9 is centrally disposed with reference to the base and passes through the top 3 and rests upon the bottom 4:. A screw or like fastening 10 serves to connect the post to the bottom of the base. A cushion 11 is provided at the top of the post 9 and may receive pins, needles, or kindred pointed articles.
A plurality of shelves 12 and 13 are rotatably mounted upon the post 9 and are supported thereon in predetermined position by means of collars 1 1 slipped upon the post 9 and secured thereto by pins or in any convenient way. The shelves are of circular form as indicated most clearly in Fig. 2 and have a progressive arrangement and decrease in diameter from the base upward, whereby provision is had for conveniently reaching the outer portion of the shelves so as to place spools of cotton in position or remove them from the shelves. Pins 15 are secured to the outer portions of the shelves 'and have a vertical disposition and are illtended to receive spools containing thread of different sizes, colors and kinds. By having the shelves rotatably mounted on the post 9 any particular thread may be readily obtained without necessitating moving the entire article or reaching from one side to the other of the shelves, it being understood that the shelves may be turned to bring the particular thread in convenient position to be reached.
It will be understood from the foregoing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing that the invention provides an article which is simple in structure, compact in formation, and adapted to contain the various articles required in sewing so that the seamstress may have such articles conveniently at hand when required. The device is also constructed so as to have the various articles in position to be readily obtained when required, thereby obviating the annoyance incident to looking for misplaced thimbles, scissors, thread, and kindred articles.
What I claim is:
A sewing companion, comprising a hol low base mounted upon feet and embodying a top, a bottom, and opposite sides connecting the top and bottom, compartment drawers slidable within the base from op posite sides, a centrally disposed post passing through the 'top' of the base and secured to the bottom thereof, circular shelves mounted upon the post in spaced relation and decreasing in diameter from the base upward, pins disposed upon the outer edge portions of the shelves, and cushions applied to the top of the post and the corner portions of the base.
In testimony whereof I aflix'my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HARLAND P. HERBERT.
