H. STERN SEWING KIT April 4, 1944.
Fild Nov. 24. 1941' Patented Apr. 4, 1944 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SEWING KIT Harold Stern, Yonkers, N. Y.
Application November 24, 1941, Serial No. 420,300
1 Claim.
This invention relates to sewing kits for mending hosiery and other articles, and its object is to combine, in very compact form, yarn or thread, a thimble, needles, and a darning head,
In the preferred form of my invention, it combines means for holding a number of balls of thread or yarn, and means for holding a thimble and needles, respectively, in two receptacles within the head and handle of the device.
The present invention consists in the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevational view of a sewing kit constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view thereof; and
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the same, with the top of the darning head removed.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the outer or container element of the present sewing kit comprises two members, each having a receptacle, and a thimble forms a closure for one of the receptacles.
One number 5 is made of rounded or bulbous form suitable for a darning head or ball and internally has a large annular recess 6 adapted to receive a circular series of balls of yarn or thread as indicated by dotted lines at l. The other member cimprises a handle 8 having an axial recess 9 which constitutes a receptacle for needles. On the upper end of handle 8 is an extension in that extends to a point in proximity to the underside of the top of head 5 and is of a size to receive and support a thimble II in an inverted position so that this thimble closes the upper end of the recess or receptacle 9. The top 12 of the head 5 is removable, being removably threaded on the body of head 5 as at l3 and adapted to engage the thimble ll so as to retain it in the extension l0 so that said thimble will form a closure for the needle chamber or receptacle 9. By removing the top 12 of head 5, access may be had to the balls of yarn within the annular recess 6 and to the thimble H in the upper end of the extension l0. Upon removing the thimble l I, access may be had to the needles in the chamber or receptacle 9 of the handle 8. When the thimble II is placed in the extension I0 as shown in Figure 2 and retained in place by the top I2 of head 5, the needles will be retained in the recess or receptacle 9 of handle 8. Thus, the necessary implements are housed in an orderly manner within the handle and head of the darning device composed of head 5 and handle 8 convenient for use in sewing and darning operations. Thus I have so combined the shapes and locations of the various articles and members as to combine a great many useful articles in approximately the minimum possible space, and so attached the parts to each other that they are substantially retained in an orderly and convenient manner, ready for instant use.
What I claim as new is:
A sewing kit and darning last comprising a disk-like hollow head, and a straight handle centrally depending from the bottom of the head, said head including a lower section having a marginal flange and an upper slightly convexed section having a marginal flange detachably engaged with the flange of said lower section, said handle being hollow to afford a needle chamber and having a tubular extension at its upper end disposed centrally of and projecting upwardly in proximity to the top of said upper section of the head so that the latter may engage and clamp the flange of a thimble between the same and the upper end of the extension when said thimble is set in an inverted position within said extension, the space between the flange of the lower head section and said extension affording an annular chamber to receive a circular series of balls of yarn or thread.
HAROLD STERN.
