UNITED, STATES "PATENT oFFicr-z.

Application med. larch 27, 1925. Serial 10.18392.

This invention has for its-object a 'pincase where the pins are advanced successively through an aperture in the case-in order that the respective pin may be easily seized.

A form of the invention is shown-1n the accompanying drawing where-- Figures 1 and 2 are a vertical section of the case from two different sides,

Figure 3 is a lan view of the same, "Figures 4 and 5 show likewise the case in avertical section but in different phases.

of the pin supplying operatiom 1 is the case, 2 a base sleeve shaped after the case which is movable in the same, and 3 is a spring tending to move the case into i its upper position shown in Figures 1 and 2 where it 1s supported somehow as for instance so that a nosed of the case is resting against the upper end of a slot 5 inthe "sleeve 2, the nose runnin in the said slot during the movement of t e case. The case has at its top 'an opening 6 for lettingin the pins and a revolving cover 7 provided with,

the supplying aperture 8 mentioned above. The bottom. 9 is provided with a hole 10 for an upright 11 fixed to the bottom of the base sleeve and extending through the openings 10 and 8 when the case is pressed down to the base. I The said upright has a split point, see Figure 2, in order that one of the pins overlying the hole 10 may remain hanging in the upright when the case is being pressed down. In order that the pins may lodge over the hole 10 the bottom is usually shaped as a-groove, the said hole being provided in the bottom of same.

When a pin is to be taken out from the case the same is pressed so far downwards that the upright with the pins head extends beyond the edge of the feed opening, and then one may easily seize the pin by the same fingers by which the case is being pressed down. Figure 4 shows the positionof the pin immediately after it has been raised rom the bottom. and Figure 5 shows the position of the pin when it is ready to be seized by the fingers. The pin is here hangs ing in a groove 12 of the upright, see Figure 2. For facilitating the automatic suspension of the pins in the upright the groove has a suitable inclination. The upright is so proportioned and shaped insucha mam ner that it may grasp one pin only at each time and the pin will be resting with its head against the upper end of the upright.

Further, it is so shaped as to allow the pin to be easily seized by the fingers.

When charging the case one may only observe that the pins are laid with their points downwards. v

In comparison with prior cases of this .kind the case described above involves'the especial advantage of the pin when bein fed 'restlng against the upright with its sad instead of with its point. Thereby the risk of the point being damaged is now removed. Another advantage lies in the fact that each pmafterhaving een used may immediately e inserted again in the case, for example by the proper outlet opening.

Obviously, the case may be varied in several respects without the arrangement according to this invention being given up. So it is possible though not so practicable to let the upright be movable instead of the case and produce the movement of the upright for example by means of a small lever.

. and projecting into said case, means on said upright for grasping a pin in said case directly under its head and advancing the same in an upright hangin position through an aperture in the top oi said case, when said case is depressed in said sleeve.

2. A pin case as claimed in claim 1, whierein saidupright is forked at its upper en I 3. A pin case as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means is forked at its upper end to gras the head of a pin and provided with a vertlcally extending groove, adapted to receive the body of said pin when its head is grasped by said forked portion.

4. A pin case as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the "bottom of said case is in the sleeve, a case member vertically slidable therein and returnable by means of a Spring in S fsleevei a 1fojrk d'up ght providedwith a vertically extending groove, said case through which'said upright ejects mounted in said sleeve and projecting into a' pin in a vertically extendin position, 10 said case, said case having a alse bottom in hanging from its head in said orked porthe form of an inclined groove adapted to tion. a

support pins in an inclined position, an In witness whereof, I have hereunto aperture m said bottom through which said signed my name. upright projects when said case is dep in the sleeve and an aperture m'the top of JOHAN FRITHIOF FRANZEN.
