holder the needle ma)v be inserted when itis not in operation. By my construction, I have provided a resting place for the needle when it is not in operation and which is readily found by the operator without her having to take her eyes off the work.

In the accompanying drawings, I have4 illustrated a practical embodiment of my invention, which, however, is susceptible of a wide range of modification, as will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art.

In these drawings:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation ot a hosiery repair machine provided with a needle holder or support constructed in accordance with my invention; and

Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof.

Referring to the drawings, the referencenumeral l indicates a motor unit, which may be of any well known construction. The unit is supported upon a base member 2, to which it is secured as by machine-screws 3.

The needle holder or support of my invention comprises a bracket member 4 which is inserted between the motor unit 1 and its base 2, as illustratedl in Fig. l, and which is securely held in place by means of the screws 3. The bracket 4 is bent upwardly, as. at 5, to provide an upstanding arm 6 which offset, at 7, to form one-half of the needle supporting member. The other hal-t of the needle supporting member consists of a spring metal strip 8 which is secured to the arm 6 ofthe bracket by suitable screws 9. At its upper end, and opposite the offset portion 7 of the arm 6, the spring metal strip 8 is offset, as at 10, and thus there is formed what in effect may be called a spring clip, into which the repair needle 1l and its handle shown here on a reduced scale OF NEW YORK, N.

may be inserted when the machine is not in operation. The upper ends of the arm 6 and the spring metal strip 8 diverge, whereby to facilitate insertion of the needle or its handle into the spring clip.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a practical and simple form of support for va. repairingr needle or its handle when the machine is not in operation, and which is located in a convenient position with respect to the machine, in consequence of which it is readily found without the operator taking her eyes away from the work.

I claim:

1. In a hosiery repair machine, a base, amotor mounted thereon, said motor being adapted to reciprocate a repair needle, a bracket secured between said base and said motor, and a spring element connected to said bracket and forming therewith a support for the needle when the machine is not in operation.

2. In a hosiery repair machine, motor mounted thereon, said motor being adapted to reciprocate a repair needle, a bracket inserted between said base and said motor, securing means passing from said base through said bracket and into said motor, and means forming with said bracket a support for the needle when the machine is not in operation.

3. In a hosiery repair machine, a base, a motor mounted thereon, said motor being adapted to reciprocate a repair needle, a bracket secured between the motor and the base, an angular extension on said bracket, and a spring arm secured to said angular extension and forming therewith a support for the needle when the machine is not in operation.

4. In a hosiery repair machine, a needle support including a bracket, an angular extension thereon, said extension having an 'offset portion, and a spring arm secured to said extension and having an offset portion forming with the similar portion of said extension a spring clip into which a needle may a base, av

be inserted when the machine is not in operation.
