EMBROIDERY-NEEDLE.

Application led May 18,

T 0 all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that we, RALPH Grimm and JACOB CHERN, both citizens oi' the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Tlennsylvania, have invented new and useful Embroidery-Needles, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention consists of an embroidery needle which is adapted to make high and low stitches, chenille effects and imitation French knots.

rlhe invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the j invention is not limited to the specilic details shown and described, as long as they are within the spirit or scope of the claims.

Figure l represents a side elevation of an embroidery needle embodying our invention.

Fig. 2 represents a central longitudinal section thereof.

Fig. 3 represents a transverse section on line 3-3 Fig. l.

Similar numerals of reference indicate, corresponding parts in the drawings.

Referring to the drawings :h

l designates the handle of the device, the same consisting of a piece of sott rubber or other elastic or pliable material its exterior being preferably of cylindrical form.

ln said piece extending in the longitudinal direction thereof is the bore 2, in which is itted tightly the needle proper 3 which is hollow or tubular in Jform, the opposite ends 'of lsaid needle having thereon the piercing points lL adjacent to which, in the wall of the needle, are the openings 5 for the passage therethrough of the embroidery silk or material 6, said openings being set back from said points 4 for threading purposes leaving said points clear and unobstructed for penetration.

Encircling lirmly the end portions oi' the handle are the collars 7 of metal or other rigid material, reinforcing the same and adding stability thereto, and protecting the edge terminals of Said portions from being battered in the use of the device.

The needle will be held lightly in the handle by the compression of the material of the latter this being assisted by the application of a small quantity of cement or adhesive material to the exterior of the needle and Specification of Letters Patent.

thus the needle will not shift from its adjusted position in the handle.

Attention is directed to the fact that portions of the needle proper project beyond the terminals ot the handle thus making a double ended device, so that either end of the latter' may render service, and said projecting portions are of differential lengths each length being adapted to be used by which provision the device is serviceable for embroidering high and low stitches, for chenille effects of small lengths and for imitation French knots, it being noticed that the end terminals of the handle form stops which limit the degree of penetration ot the needle into the fabric being embroidered. The handle is soft and yielding to the touch oi the operator and avoids tiring of the hand of the latter in the use oi' the device.

Having thus described our invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters `Patent, is

l. An embroidery needle consisting ot a tubular needle proper and a handle in which a portion of the same is contained, said needle proper being pointed on its opposite ends the pointed portions projecting respectively beyond the opposite terminal-s of said handle.

2. An embroidery needle consisting of a doubly pointed tubular needle proper and a handle adapted to carry the same therein, the point portions of the needle projecting respectively beyond the opposite terminals of said handle, and being ot differential lengths.

3. An embroidery needle consisting of a tubular needle proper and a handle adapted to carry the same therein, said needle proper being pointed at its opposite ends and having its point portions project beyond the terminals respectively oi said handle, said handle being composed of' pliable material, and said needle being adapted to be held iirictionally in the bore ot said handle and having in each point portion a threading opening which is in communication with the bore of the needle.

4. An embroidery needle consisting of a tubular needle proper, and a handle adapted to carry the same therein, said needle proper being pointed at its opposite ends and having each point portion project beyond the terminal of said handle, said handle being composed of pliable material and said neebeyond the opposite terminals of said han- 10 dle being adapted to be held frictionally in dle, and each point portion having in its side the bore of said handle, the terminal pora threading opening in communication with tions of said handle having on their eX- the bore of the needle.
