(No M0del H. BRISTOW'. SKEIN SILK B0 1 N0.,594,519. Patented Nov. 30, 1897 WITNESSES IN VENTOH NITED STATES HENRY BRISTOW, BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
SKElN-SILK BOOK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 594,519, dated November 30, 1897.
Application filed January 16,1897. Serial No. 619,474. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HENRY BRISTOW, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in skein-Silk Books, of which the following is so full, clear, and exact a descriptionas will enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved book closed. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same open. Fig. 3 is a plan view of one of the leaves. Fig. 4 is alongitudinal section of the book closed. Fig. 5 is a sectional View at the opening 0, showing the eyelet. Fig. 6 is a detailed view of the strips which hold the leaves in the book and which separate them from each other at the back of the book.
The object of my invention is to provide a skein-silk case by the use of which skein-silk may be kept in perfect order without liability of becoming tangled and without danger of fading in spots.
Another object of my invention is to provide a skein-silk book by the use of which any desired shade or size of silk may be selected at will and drawn out instantly without in any way injuring the thread drawn or disturbing or distorting or injuring or destroying any other thread or plurality of threads in the skein or skeins.
In the accompanying drawings, A designates the outside cover.
B designates two leaves, one on either side, forming what I term an inside cover.
0 designates the leaves proper of the book. The leaves are provided near one end with two circular openings connected by a passage-way D, extending up above the line of the top of the openings 0, leaving a projection E, which extends above the lines of the openings C in the shape of alip or tongue E, over which is adapted to be looped a skein of silk. The material at this end of the leaf is solid around the edge and end. At the opposite end of the leaf are two openings HH, provided with slits I I, which extend from the opening to the outer edge of the paper each side of the flap or tongue E The book proper is put together with strips of fabric which connect the leaves together and the outside ones connect the leaves to the cover. To the outside of the cover is secured a fabric J, which covers the back of the book, but is loose from the back edges of the leaves, which prevents cracking and breaking of the fabric forming the back of the book and thus avoiding its becoming disfigured. The inside leaves or covers are smaller than the outside cover and serve to prevent the silk from coming into contact with the thumb or thumb-marks on the inside of the cover or the paste or fabric of the removable cover M. This cover M is provided with ribbons N N for fastening the book closed. There is a decided space between the upper ends of the tongues and the inner edge of the end of the leaf nearest the outer end of the tongue. This enables the operator to move the tongues back and forth without injuring them.
It will be observed that the distance between the openings each side of the base of the tongue E is greater than the distance between the openings at the opposite end of the sheet each side of the tongue E This is done to prevent too great bulk of silk on the same line through the book and to distribute the bulk of the skein over the leaves in such a way that the book will close evenly. An eyelet may be put through the openings to prevent fraying the silk and will prevent cutting the sheet. The eyelet will be in the nature of an open ring,as shown in Fig. 3 ata a a a. This will also reduce friction and make the silk slip freely. fl
The strips offabric ct (shown in Figs. 2 and 6) are secured to the leaves, so that they will lie fiat out when the book is opened, and the thickness of the doubled fabric a (as it must double when closed) will hold the leaves apart to accommodate the additional thickness of the bulk of the silk in the skein, as set forth.
Having thus fully described the objects, uses and advantages of my device, and having described and shown a preferred form of carrying the same into practice,'what I desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, and what I therefore claim, is
1. A skein-silk book consisting of covers having secured thereto and therein between a series of leaves joined together with and separated by a strip a to facilitate the opening of the book flat out, and to accommodate the additional thickness of the bulk of the silk, said leaves provided with openings and flaps or tongues to receive and hold the silk, as set forth.
2. A skein-silk book consisting of a series of leaves bound together and provided at or near one end with a tongue having openings at either side of its base and provided at or near the opposite end with a tongue having openings at either side of its base, the distance between the openings at the base of one of the tongues being greater than the distance between the openings at the base of the other tongue, and the width of the base of one of the tongues being greater than the width of the base of the other tongue, as and for the purpose specified.
3. A skein-silk book consisting of covers having secured thereto and therein between a series of leaves joined together with and separated by a strip a to facilitate the opening of the book fiat out, and to accommodate the additional thickness of the bulk of the silk, said leaves provided with openings and flaps or tongues to receive and hold the silk and an outside cover provided with means for fastening the book closed to prevent soiling, distorting, fraying and tangling of the silk.
In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

ALEX. S. STEUART, CHARLES E. BARBER.
