4 UNITED STATES PATENT DFFIGE.
FRANK L WATERMAN, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED SEWING IMPLEMENTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 156,264, dated October 27, 1874; application filed September 12, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK L. WATER- MAN, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a device consisting of the combination of a threadwaxer, a spool-and-thimble holder, and pincushion, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings making part of this specification, in which Figure l is a perspective view of my combined device. Fig. 2is a vertical section through the center of the same.
My invention has for its object to provide a device in which pins, needles, thimble, thread, and wax may'always be found together ready for use; and my invention consists in a combined pin-cushion and holder for thimble and spool secured to a base or stand composed wholly or partially of wax, for waxing the thread, whereby the various articles required by ladies in sewing are always at hand ready for use, and the inconvenience and delay at present experienced in collecting them are avoided.
To enable others skilled in the art to understand and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the manner in which I have carried it out. I
In the said drawings, A represents the base or stand composed of wax, within which is embedded a bent wire,'a, one portion, 4, of which projects through the wax at a point on the periphery of its upper surface, and, rising a short distance above it, is bent in horizontally at 5, toward the center of the stand, whence it rises vertically, as seen at b, a space between the upper surface of the stand and the horizontal portion 5 of the wire being thus formed for the reception of a cushion, b, for pins and needles, the cushion fitting snugly in place and being prevented from moving out of its position by the bent portion 7 of the opposite end of the wire, which projects out from the upper surface of the stand at a point diametrically opposite that from which the other end,4, of the wire projects. The portion 7 rises vertically, or nearly so, from just above the pin-cushion to a point about on a level with the top of the vertical portion 12, being turned or bent around to form a small loop or eye, 8, about half-way up. The object of the vertical portion b of the wire is to serve as an axis around which a spool of thread may revolve, the hole in the center of the spool enabling it to be readily placed thereon.
The end of the thread is conducted through the eye or loop 8, and may be waxed by taking up the stand with the thumb and forefinger of one hand and drawing the thread with the other hand) between the thumb and the wax. The upper end of the vertical portion 7 of the wire is bent in horizontally at 9 and has a loop, 10, formed at its inner end, into which the top of the vertical portion 6 is sprung, so
as to form a bearing for it and' keep it steady. After forming the loop 10 the wire is bent upward, and serves as a holder for a thimble, the thimble being passed over the upper extremity 11 of the wire and pressed down between t it and the horizontal portion 9, a spring being thus formed which grasps and-holds the thimble tightly when it is desired to put it away when not required for use.
By the employment of a device constructed in accordance with my invention the delay and annoyance at present occasioned by being obliged to look around around for and collect the various articles required in sewing are entirely avoided, as my invention enables one to constantly have at hand in one place everything required for this purpose.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letterslatent, is-
The stand A, composed wholly or partially of wax, the pin-cushion b, and one or more wires, a, serving as a holder for a spool and a thimble, when constructed and combined, substantially as described, for the purpose set forth.
Witness my hand this 9th day of September, 1874.
FRANK L. WATERMAN.
In presence of N. W. STEARNS, W- J. CAMBRIDGE.
