UNI ED STATES PATENT 'QFFICE- JAMES R. BARLOW, OF HOWELL, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO BURR R. SMITH, OF SAME PLACE.

IMPROVEMENT IN B OBBIN-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 192,215, dated J nne 19, 1877 application filed May 3, 1877'.

a To all whom it may concern Be it known that I,,JAMES RODNEY BAR- LOW, of Howell, in the county of Livingston, and in the State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bobbin-Holder and Needle-Case; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a partot' this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a receptacle .for sewing-machine bobbins and needles, as

- 3 is a plan view of the main cylinder, and

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the top cap.

A represents the body of the bobbin-receptacle, made in cylindrical form, and having a central bore, a, of suitable diameter, extending entirely through it. hole or bore is arranged a series of holes or sockets, b b, vertically downward from the top of the cylinder, at equal distances apart.-

These holes or sockets are numbered on the outside of the cylinder for the purpose of filing or registering thread or silk whenbobbins placed in said holes have thread or silk on them.

Each hole I) is also provided with a slot or notch, or, at its top, in which to secure the thread, and bring it below the revolving cap B on top, a portion of the thread remaining outside the cylinder, sothat it can be seen Whether a bobbin has thread on it; and, if so, what color andnumber it is.

The revolving cap B is provided with a Around this central in the central hole a. andrevolves therein, the

cap covering the bobbin-holes and being provided with an opening, d, through which to pass the bobbins in or out. a

When the cap is turned, so that the opening d shows a part of two holes b at the same time, no bobbins can pass through.

The inside cylinder 0 is bored lengthwise from the top for a suitable distance, and forms a case in which to store needles, and it has a cap, D, turning on a pivot-hinge, t, or other suitable fastening. This cap D has an emery ball or pad, G, in its center or top for the pur pose of polishing needles.

Having thus fully described my. invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

. 1. The combination of the cylinder A, having holes 1; arranged in a circle near the outer edge, and each hole having a notch, a", and a number on the outside of the case under each notch, with the revolving cap B, having single hole .d, as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. The combination of the cylinder A, having central bored and series of holes I), the cylindrical needle-case O, and the cap B, with single hole 01, substantially as and for the purhave hereunto set my hand this 30th day of April, 1877.

JAMES RODNEY BARLOW.
