EMBROIDERY THREAD HOLDER oR RACK Filed Feb. 20, 195B ATTORNEYS EMBRIDERY THREAD HLDER GR RACK Isadore H. Tauber and Ida P. Tauber, both of 4503 Roosevelt Ave., Sacramento 20, Calif.
Fixed Feb. 20, 195s, ser. No. '716,486
1 cnam. (el. gaz- 127) This invention relates to an embroidery thread holder, a primary object of the invention being to provide a rack for holding skeins of different colored threads, the rack being so constructed that the threads supported thereon may be readily unwound from the skeins eliminating the possibility of the threads from the different skeins held thereon, becoming entangled during the unwindng operation.
An important object of the invention is to provide a holder in the form of a rack including a pair of supports having bearings on which skein supporting rods are removably held permitting the skeins of thread to be readily and easily positioned on the rack, eliminating the use of mechanism for securing the supporting rods in piace.
Another object of the invention is to provide a rack which may be readily dismantled, facilitating the storage thereof, when out of use.
With the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts, hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Referring to the drawingr.
Figure l is a plan View of an embroidery thread holder or rack, constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig; 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a fragmental elevational view illustrating a modified form of the invention.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the embroidery thread holder or rack comprises a base 5 which is formed with spaced bores 6, formed in the upper surface thereof at points adjacent to the ends of the base.
The base is preferably rectangular in formation and presents a at upper surface to hold the rack in an upright position while the embroidery `thread is being unwound therefrom.
The reference character 7 indicates upright end members,- each of which is provided with spaced bores 8 in the lower edge thereof, for the reception of dowel pins 9, which pins are also extended in the bores 6 of the base S, removably securing the end members to the base 5'.
Each end member is formed with a curved cutout portion 1G extending inwardly from the upper edge thereof, the curved cut-out portion providing a bearing 11 which is cut in the arc of a circle larger than the diameter of the skein supporting rod 12 which rests therein, so that the supporting rod may rotate, as the embroidery 2,940,683 Patented June 14, 1960 thread, which is indicated by the reference character A, is being unwound from the rack.
Each upright end member is also formed with a slot 13, which slot extends inwardly and downwardly providing a guideway to guide a skein supporting rod to the lower inner edge of the slot 13, which is formed in the arc of a circle providing a bearing 14.
As shown by Fig. 2 of the drawing, the bearing 14 is oiset with respect to the slot 13, but is in direct vertical alignment with the upper bearing 11, of the skein end member.
Knobs 1S are secured on the ends of the skein supporting rods 12 and provide means for holding the supporting rods against lateral displacement from the bearings.
in the form of the invention as shown by Fig. 4 of the drawing, a base is indicated by the reference character 5', and in this form of the invention a pair of end members 7' is provided, each end member 7' being connected to the base 5 by means of a hinge 9', so that the end members may be readily swung downwardly to positions parallel with the base 5' when it is desired to collapse the rack for storage purposes.
The end member 7, as shown by Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawing, may be removed from the base S by disconnecting the end members from the dowel pins 8, in which case the end members are positioned o-n the upper surface of the base to provide a small and compact article to facilitatestoring when the rack is not in use.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, I have provided a rack on which skeins of embroidery thread may be supported and held while the thread is being removed, to the end that while the rack may support several skeins of thread, the skeins may be maintained separated, so that the thread from one skein will not become tangled with the thread of an adjacent skein.
It will also be-seen that due to the construction of the supporting rods and their bearings, the skein supporting rods may rotate within their bearings as the thread is being used and unwound from the rack.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
A rack for holding embroidery skeins comprising a base, upright end members removably mounted on the base, said end members having 4.arcuate shaped cut out portions formed in the upper ends thereof providing open bearings, said end members having downwardly and inwardly inclined slots extending inwardly from the forward edges thereof and spaced substantial distances from the upper ends of said end members, said slots terminating in offset curvedv bearings in direct vertical alignment with said upper open bearings, a pair of skein supporting rods removably held in said bearings, said skein supporting rods being spaced apart the widthl of a skein, knobs secured to the ends of said rods for normally holding the rods against displacement, and said knobs providing means for effecting removal and placement of said rods on said end members.
