Jan. 25, 1944. J GRAY 2,340,184
SPOOL HOLDER Filed Aug. 23, 1943 Patented Jan. 25, 1944 5 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SPOOL HOLDER John Gray, Dalhart, Tex.
Application August 23, 1943, Serial No. 499,701
2 Claims. (Cl. 242138) This invention relates to a spool holder, and has for the primary object the provision of a device of this character which will provide an eflicient protector to prevent soiling or damaging of a spool of thread and will permit the application of the spool to a support, such as a spindle of a spool rack or similar device or a spool spindle of a sewing machine and will maintain the thread in view as well as the labels on the ends of the spool so that the size of the thread may be easily determined.
Another object of this invention is the provision of means to prevent the thread from accidentally unthreading from the spool and which provides a cutter whereby the thread may be easily severed after the desired amount has been obtained from the spool.
With these and other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more full described and claimed. I
For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation illustrating a spool holder constructed in accordance with my invention. V
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view showing the holder with a spool therein and the thread held against accidental unthreading.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 5 indicates a tubular body, the length of which is slightly greater than the length of a thread spool 6 and is provided on its exterior adjacent its ends with annular grooves I. Adapted to the ends of the body 5 are caps 8 including dished walls 9 and retaining flanges l frictionally fitted over the end portions of the body and seat ing in the grooves I. The caps when applied to the body have their dished walls 8 extending into the body and are provided with centrally arranged openings I I for the purpose of exposing the usual labels on the ends of the spool 6 and thereby permit a person to easily determine the size of the thread carried by the spool, also to. permit the application of the spool and body onto,
a spindle from either end thereof. The spindle, is indicated by the character I2 and may form,
portion of a sewing a part of a spool rack or a machine.
Extending inwardly from one end of the body 5 is a curved slot I3 terminating in an eye I4. The eye is located substantially intermediate the ends of the body 5, the purpose of which is toj feed smoothly outwardly of allow the thread to the body. With the slot l3 extending through one end of the body 5 will permit the thread to be easily brought into the eye from one end of the body.
Formed on opposite walls of the body are tongues 15 under which the thread may be positioned and gripped to prevent the thread from accidentally unwinding. Either of the tongues I5 may be employed for the purpose specified and each has one edge beveled to form a cutting edge I5. To sever the thread after a desired amount has been removed from the body and the spool, the thread may be brought into engagement with either of the cutting edges for the purpose of severing the thread. By having the tongues formed on opposite sides of the body, one adjacent one end of said body while the other adjacent the other end of the body, permits the thread to be secured against unthreading from the spool and the body either in a right hand or left hand manner.
The body and caps are preferably constructed of a transparent plastic material. Also the tongues may be made of a similar material. The body and caps being transparent as stated, will allow a spool of thread to be viewed while within the device, during which time the spool is efliciently protected against having the thread thereof soiled or damaged.
While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction, combination, and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and. scope of the invention as claimed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
1. In a spool holder, a transparent tubular body to receive a spool of thread, transparent caps removable from the ends of the body and provided with openings to permit a supporting spindle to enter the spool from either end of the body, said body having a curved slot extending from one end thereof and terminating in an eye located substantially intermediate the ends of the body to permit thread to be drawn from the spool, and tongues formed on opposite sides of the body either of which is adapted to receive and grip the thread.
2. In a spool holder, a transparent tubular body to receive a spool of thread, transparent caps removable from the ends of the body and provided with openings to permit a supporting spindle to enter the spool from either end of the body, said body having a curved slot extending from one end thereof and terminating in an eye located substantially intermediate the ends of the body to permit thread to be drawn from the spool, tongues formed on opposite sides of the body either of which is adapted to receive and grip the thread, said tongues having beveled edges for the severance of the thread.
JOHN GRAY.
