Description

JACOB GOTTLIE I ZSnventor (Ittomeg Nov. 11, 1941. J. GOTTLIEB CONTAINER Fi led May 6, 1940 Patented Nov. 11, 1941 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CONTAINER Jacob Gottlieb, Gastonia, N. 0., assignor to Threads, Incorporated, Gastonia, N. 0., a corporation of North Carolina Application May 6, 1940, Serial No. 333,619
1 Claim. (Cl. 242-432) This invention relates to a package of yarn, cordage, twine or the like and means for enclosing the same. Where strand material is used for tying packages, crocheting, knitting, and the like, it is desirable that the strand unwind from the package freely Without becoming knotted or tangled. In order to accomplish this result effectively, it is necessary to hold the package in substantially stationary position such as by placing a suitable encasement therearound. An opening is usually placed in the casing to allow the strand-to be drawn from within.
It is an object of this invention to provide a simple and convenient means for enclosing a cylindrical package of twine such as a transparent tubular member having a cover on one end and an eyelet on the other, and also having a bail attached thereto whereby the package can be suspended while in use, or whereby the package may be easily carried from place to place in a convenient manner.
Some of the objects of the invention having been stated, other objects will appear as the description proceeds when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is an isometric view of the invention in which a semi-rigid container is shown in association with a bail;
Figure 2 is an isometric view looking at the right-hand side of the container shown in Fig- 6 the numeral 30 indicates a semirigid transparent, tubular member having a metallic bottom 3| secured thereto, by seaming or other suitable means, said bottom having a hole 33 therein through which a strand 34 is adapted to be drawn. This strand emanates from the interior of a suitable coreless package such as cord or yarn 35 within the container, and which is wound with a universal wind so that the yarn or cord may be drawn from the interior thereof without undue entanglement. The upper rim of the tubular member 311 is inturned as at 36, thus adding rigidity to the member. The inturned rim 36 is preferably smaller than the diameter of the yarn package so that when it is crowded into the container it will not fall therefrom, even when it is inverted and the lid is removed. Also it will be noted that the cylindrical portion is formed from a sheet of transparent material having its side edges overlapping as at 31 and being adhesively secured together by any suitable means such as by glue. A cover 38 is adapted to fit on top of the cylindrical member and over the inturned rim portion 36.
In order to carry the package from place to place, or to hang it while in use or while not being used, a convenient bail 39 is provided which, in the present instance, constitutes a cord having knots 40 and M tied in the ends thereof and being disposed on the interior of the yarn holder. The cord 39 penetrates suitable eyelets 42 and 43 near the upper end of the container. This cord or bail 39 also serves as a means for conveniently suspending the package when the strand is being drawn therefrom.
In the drawing and specification there has been set forth a preferred embodiment of the invention, and although specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation, the scope of the invention being set forth in the appended claim.
I claim:
A tubular container for an elongated package of yarn comprising a cylinder made from semirigid transparent material, a perforated bottom secured to one end of the cylinder, the other end of the cylinder being rolled inwardly, downwardly and then outwardly to restrict the inside diameter of that end of the cylinder to a diameter slightly less than the normal diameter of the package of yarn so as to prevent easy removal of the package of yarn, a cap fitting over the said other end of the cylinder, a pair of opposed eyelets secured in the sidewalls of the cylinder a short distance from the said other end, and a cord having its ends passed through said eyelets and having knots therein to form a bail for the container,
JACOB GOTTLIEB.
