SPOOL-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 306,258, dated October 7, 1884.
I Q A mplication filed April 15, 1884. (No model.)
T all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AMOS XV. JUDD, of Chattanooga, in the county of Hamilton and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and Improved Spool-Holder, of which the follow ing is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to the class of spoolholders designed to be worn upon the person for holding spools of thread or yarn for crocheting, knitting, sewing, darning, &c.; and it consists in a spiral spring of small diameter for securing the spool, and in a fastener secured to the ends of the spring and capable of being attached to the clothing of the user.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure 1 shows the spool-holdingspring detached from the fastener at one end for changing the spool, and Fig. 2 shows the holder in position for attachment to the clothing of the user.
7 Two oppositelyarranged arms, A A, formed on a reversed curve, and secured together by a pivot, B, are provided with sharp points a a at their convergent ends, and with shoulders 1), formed by bending the metal of the two arms in opposite directions for limiting the motion of the arms. The outwardly-convex edges of the arms AA are notched to receive a spring, 0, of rubber or other material,which draws the pointed ends of the arms toward each other. The divergent ends of the arms A are bent laterally at right angles to form thumb-pieces d d, which are pressed to separate the pointed ends of the arms A, and to which are secured the ends of the spiral spring 0. One end of the spring 0 is permanently secured to the thumb-piece d, and the opposite end of the spring is provided with a loop, 6, which may be readily placed upon or removed from the thumbpiece (1.
One or more spools of thread or yarn may be placed on the spring 0 and will turnreadily thereon; but, owing to the curvature of the spring and the slight friction caused by it, the spools will not turn accidentally.
The fastener is opened by the pressure of the thumb and finger upon the thumb-pieces d d, and is allowed toengage some portion of the clothing of the user when it closes, thereby holding the spool in a convenient position for use.
To prevent the thread from tangling, it is passed through one of the coils of the spiral spring 0, as shown in the drawings.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a spool-holder, the combination of a spiral spool-holding spring, and a fastener for attaching the same to the clothing of the user, as specified.
2. The combination of the spring 0 and the pointed arms A, pivoted to each other, as described.
3. The combination, in a spool-holder, of the curved arms A, having points a, the spring 0, for drawing the said points together, and the spool-holding spring 0, as specified.
4. The combination, with the arms A, provided with thumb-pieccs d d, of the spring 0, having the loop e, adapted to receive one of the thumb-pieces, as described.
5. As a new article of manufacture, a spoolholder consisting of the curved arms A, pivoted to each other, and furnished with points a, and the spool-holding spring 0, connected with the said arms, as described.
AMOS wmsoN JUDD.
