UNITED TATES JAMES W'. MOHN, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
THREAD-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 566,210, dated August 18, 1896. Application filed March 26, 1896. Serial No. 584,912. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES WV. MOHN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Thread- Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in thread-holders for spools, and has for its object to provide a cheap and efficient device, which may be attached to an ordinary spool and when in place will serve as a holder for the free end of the thread, and may also be utilized to sever a given length of thread from the spool.
With these ends in view my invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth,and then specifically designated by the claim.
In order that those skilled in the artto which my invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, I will describe its construction and operation in detail, referring by number to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective of a spool having my improvement attached thereto; Fig. 2, a detailed perspective of the device before at tachment.
Referring to the drawings, A is the ordinary spool, and B the thread-holder, which is formed of a single piece of metal, having one end 0 bent at right angles to the body of the strip and sharpened to enter the spool A, and having at its other end a downward-turned portion and wings E at each edge of said portion adapted to bear against the flange of the spool, and an upwardly-turned portion D, parallel with the first-named portion, to form a thread-grip. Said wings E are curved so as to fit the peripheral contour with the end of the spool, and this serves to strengthen the hold of the device upon the spool and prevent its accidental displacement when the strain is brought to bear in forcing the thread within the hook. The device thus formed is attached to the spool by driving the spur 0 into one end thereof, as clearly shown in Fig. 1. In use the free end of the thread is drawn within the hook and thereby held against being unwound when the spool is loosely handled.
hen it is desired to sever a length of thread from the spool it is only necessary to draw it through the hook until the required amount is baled off and then exert sufficient strain thereon to sever it against the edge of the hook, which latter will assist in the severance thereof.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and useful is In a device of the character described, a thread-holder composed of a strip of metal having one end bent at right angles to the body of the strip and sharpened to enter a spool and having at the other end a downward-turned portion and wings at each edge of said portion to bear against the flange of the spool and an upwardly-turned portion parallel with the first-named portion to form a thread-grip, as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JAMES W'. MOI-IN.
