PATENT ANTHONY DENEKAS, OF \VASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
SPOOL-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 637,093, dated November 14, 1899. Application filed July 29, 1899. Serial No. 725,534. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern;
Be it known that l, ANTHONY DENEKAS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spool-Supporting Bracelets; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in spool-supporting bracelets; and the object of the invention is to produce a very simple and inexpensive device for supporting spools of cotton, silk, thread, &c., or their equivalent used for crocheting, embroidering, knitting, and similar purposes; also, that the device can be readily applied or detached from the wrist of persons requiring the same also, that it can be adjusted in expeditious manner to suit different sizes of wrists or spools; furthermore,to prevent rolling away of the spools, causing inconvenience as well as annoyance; also, to prevent unraveling of the work by suspending it on a hook on the device, so that the work can be resumed, and, finally, to produce the device at such a cost as to be within the reach of all.
With these objects in view my invention consists in the peculiar construction of parts and the novel arrangement of details, all of which will be more fully described hereinafter and specifically pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and the letters thereon.
Like letters indicate similar parts in the views of the drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the bracelet applied to a wrist, shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an end elevation thereof. Fig. 4. is a modification of Fig. 1, the hooks being left out. Fig. 5 is an end elevation of the same.
In the drawings, A represents the complete device, showing a spool of cotton in position. It is made of a flat piece of metal, either brass, silver, steel, aluminium, or its equivalent. It may be nickel, silver, or gold plated and may be made ornamental, if desired. It is preferably made of material of a springy nature. The lower arms B are made to embrace the left wrist, and the upper arms 0 are cut out of the arms B and bent upward, being provided at their upper ends with spherical or equivalent shaped knobs E. These knobs enter partly into the central hole of the spool and serve to center it, so that the spool can freely revolve on them. These knobs may be made of vulcanized rubber, hard wood, metal, or any suitable material. C are provided at their lower ends with hooks d, which are cut out of the sides of the arms 0 and bent as shown. They serve to sus= pend the work by placing the last loop thereon and prevent unraveling of said work.
In the modification shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the device is made in two pieces, and the arms B are provided with clips e, so that the two arms can be adjusted closer together or farther apart, so as to be readily adjustable to smaller or larger wrists or spools.
If desired, the upper arms may be bent to suit different sizes of spools, always allowing the spools to revolve loosely between the knobs.
If desirable,the bracelet can be made highly ornamental by engraving, oxidizing, &c.
The operation is as follows: The lower arms of the bracelet are passed over the wrist of The arms the left hand, easily and comfortably embracing the wrist. The bracelet supports the spool of cotton, silk, thread, or any other suitable material upon the spherical knobs in the hole of the spool. The thread is then passed over the back of the hand between the knuckles of the first and second fingers and extends around the index-finger once or twice to give the proper tension toward the crocheting needle ready for work.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A spool-supporting bracelet, consisting of two lower arms B, that encircle the wrist and the two upper arms 0, out out of the lower arms and bentas shown, and the latter provided with spherical knobs E, for support ing the spool in the manner described and for the purpose set forth.
2. A spool-bracelet made of one piece of metal, cut and bent as shown, to form the latterprovidedwiththeknobsE,andthehooks IO lower arms 13 to encircle the wrist and the d, and all constructed as shown and for the upper arinsO cut out of said arms B, with the purpose specified.

3. The spool-supporting bracelet herein de- ANTHONY DENEKAS. scribed, consisting of the lower arms B, that Witnesses: encircle the wrist, and the upper arms 0, cut JOHN H. ODONNELL, out of the lower arms and bent as shown, the J. O. MOMENAMIN.
