.B. D. POWELL SPOOL AND THIMBLE RACK gwuento'o BIP.POW6ZZ Patented May 22, 1923..-
BUREN D. POWELL, OF KOSSE, TEXAS.
SPOOL AND THIMBLE RACK.
Application filed April 16, 1921.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BUREN D. POWELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kosse, in the county of Limestone and State of Texas, have invented certain new and use- :ful Improvements in a Spool and Thimble Rack; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive and efficient device for supporting spools and thimbles and like objects either for the convenience of the seamstress or trade display, and incidentally to provide means in connection therewith whereby a needle cushion may be suspended within convenient reach, and with this object in view the invention consists in a construction and combination of parts of which a preferred embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a view of a rack embodying the invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the blank from which the rack is formed.
The device consists essentially of a base plate 10 carrying a plurality of outstanding fingers 11 which are referably cross sectionally round or tubu ar to constitute convenient means upon which may be threaded as and supported such articles as spools 12,
example being provided at its upper corner with an eye or opening 15 for engagement with a supporting hook 16.0r the equivalent thereof, and bein provided at its lower corner with a hoo or ear 17 upon which may be sus ended any convenient or preferred artic e such as a needle cushion or the like.
The device is preferably struck from a Serial Ho. 461,815.
single blank or sheet metal as indicated in Figure 3, with flaps 18 separated from the body of the sheet or blank at their upper and side edges to form openings 18 and said flaps being rolled to form the spool and thimble supporting fingers. This construction not only economizes in the material required for the device but serves to minimize the weight thereof without detracting in any Way from the strength of the same, and in addition the finger blank being integral with the plate or main blank requires no fastening means, and by cutting the lower edges of the flaps on upwardly convergent lines as indicated at 19, the lower ends of the rolled flaps forming the fingers are beveled to maintain the fin rs at the proper upward inclination with re ation to the plane of the base as indicated clearly in Figure 2. The fingers are thus braced against downward deflection which would tend to render them less effective in supporting the objects engaged therewith.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is A rack having a base plate and flaps struck therefrom to form supporting fingers, each flap formed by cutting the base plate in substantially rectangular form, the base of the form being out converging to form reentrant angles at either side, said cuts being s aced apart, the fla so formed being bent own away from t e base plate and the side edges rolled to abutting position by bending in same downward direction that the sides of base of said flaps will engage base plate to maintain the fingers in position inclined upwardly from base plate.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
BUREN n. POWELL.
