HOLDER FOR BALLS OF CROCHET COTTON.
Application filed October 3, 1923. Serial No. 666,235.
My invention relates to aholder for balls of crochet cotton, yarn and the like, and more particularly to a holder of the portable type.
Heretofore, parties doing crocheting, knitting and other similar work in which balls of crochet cotton, or yarn is employed have been greatly inconvenienced by the ball of material dropping from the lap and rolling along the floor. Various holders have been devised for holding spools of thread. and balls of crochet cotton or yarn. These holders have been of several types, such as to hang from the wrist or arm of the user, or
to clamp upon a table. The holders adapted to be supported from the wrist or arm are undesirable as the cotton or thread being drawn from the ball is liable to become tangled in the fingers and for this reason does not give the free use of both arms and hands.
Various other types of holders are objectionable because' they are not of a light, portable construction which can be carried around in a ladys fancy work bag. 7
One object of my invention is to provide a holder for balls of crochet cotton that can be attached to almost any piece of furniture which has either vertical or horizontal strips having parallel faces.
Another object of my invention is to pro vide a support for a ball of crochetcotton or yarn that will support the ball while in use whether the ball is provided with or without a paper form in the center.
36 A further object is to provide a supporting member thatis adj ustablerelative to the clamping member so that the ball of crochet cotton or yarn may be held in a vertical post tion regardless of whether the clamping member is attached to a vertical or horizon tal surface.
Further objects will be readily apparent from the following disclosure.
The drawing illustrates a perspective view of my holder indicating the ball of crochet cotton in two positions thereon in dotted lines.
My holder is constructed so that the supportability. The clamping member is preferably constructed of the celluloid jaws 10 and 11 which have a spring 12 interposed therebetween. The spring is secured to the ends of the jaws by means of the-rivets 13.
.ing on to the common pieces of furniture and so that the clamping faces will be as nearly parallel as possible for the average thickness of table tops, chair backs, etc.
The clamp jaw 10 is provided with two pro ections 15 and 16. Theprojection 15 is provided with an opening 17 to receive the end portion of a celluloid supporting member 18. The other projection 16 is provided with a cut-out portion 19 to also receive the end of the supporting member 18. The openmg 17 has its center line at a slight angle with the cutout portion 19, so that when the supporting member 18 is inserted, they will bind and hold it securely in position.
The supporting member together with the opening 17 and the cut-outportion 19 are preferably square so that the supporting member may be inserted, having the portion 21. thereof either parallel with or at right angles to the clamping surfaces. This er mits the part 21 to always be inserted in a vertical position regardless of whether the holder is clamped to a vertical or horizontal surface.
The supporting member is so shaped that the portion 22 is, in any position relative to the clamping member, substantially parallel with said clam nng members. This is particularly adapted to support balls of crochet cotton or yarn having no supporting centers, where the yarn is withdrawn from the center of the ball, the outer portion of the ball remaining intact until nearly the outer layer is reached. This portion also serves to support balls of crochet cotton in which the paper centers have fallen out or have been removed.
The celluloid j aws 10 and 11 are provided with felt protection pads 24 and 25 to prevent the clamping member from marring highly polished pieces of furniture to which it might be clamped.
Having thus described by invention, what The jaws are so shaped as to permit clamp- I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: a supporting member and projections on one A holder for balls of crochet cotton comof said clamping jaws adjacent the spring 10 prising a substantially U-shaped sprin a end to detachably hold said member. 5 pair of clamping jaws having one em? of Signed at Worcester, Massachusetts, this each jaw fixed to the ends of said sprin and 1st day of October, 1923. extending so that the other end of em; jaw PHILIP C.
