PIN CUSHION Filed Jan. 19,1955
INVENTOR. 7' RITA -PARENTE ATTORNEY United S ttes Patent PEN CUSHIQN Rita 3. Parente, Philadelphia, Pa.
Application January 19, 1955, Serial No. 482,904
1 Claim. ((31.223-109) In changing diapers, or in sewing, it is necessary to use safety pins and plain pins and if these pins are left within reach of a baby whose diapers are being changed, or within reach of a baby who can crawl about, there is danger of the baby swallowing a pin or otherwise injuring itself.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a pin cushion which is attached to the person so that, if the mother leaves the baby, or her sewing, the pins will go with the mother and will not be left where the baby could reach them.
A further object of the invention is to provide a light, attractive and inexpensive pin cushion for the purpose set forth.
A still further object is to produce a pin cushion which, when devoid of pins can be used as a toy, or as a teething nng.
The full nature of the invention will be understood from the following specifications and the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of a pin cushion embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a section on line 22 on Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3 on Fig. 1.
The pin cushion shown is formed of a casing having a handle 12 and containing a pad or pin-engaging cushion 14, adapted to be engaged by and to retain the pins. The casing is provided with a number of openings 16 "ice through which the prong of a safety pin 18 or the prong of a plain pin 20 is inserted for engagement with the pad 14.
The casing 10 and handle 12 may be made of any desired material but, according to my invention, they are made of any easily molded thermoplastic, or thermosetting synthetic material which is available on the market. Also, the casing and the handle may be suitably decorated and colored.
In the drawing the handle 12 is shown fixed to the top of the casing but it is within the scope of the invention to mount the handle in a rotatable fashion relative to the casing.
When a woman wants to change a babys diaper, or if she wants to sew, she engages the hooked handle in her belt, in the rim of her skirt, etc., and as she removes pins from the diapers, or from her sewing, she sticks them in the cushion as shown in Fig. 3, where they will be available as needed and where they will be out of reach of the baby. Even if the baby should reach the pin, it can not remove them without being noticed as it can if the pins are lying on the bed or on a table or elsewhere. Likewise, if the mother goes to answer the door, bell, or is otherwise interrupted, the pins go with her instead of being left where the baby can reach them.
What I claim is:
A pin cushion including a one-piece, substantially barrel-shaped casing and a hooked handle for suspending the same, said casing and handle being integrally molded of a light, plastic material, and a pin-engaging cushion inside said casing, there being openings formed in the wall of said casing through which the prongs of straight pins and the prongs of safety pins are inserted for engagement with said cushion.
