PATENT OEEICE,
PETER A. VOURTIN, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
NEEDLE-CASE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 784,841, dated March 14, 1905.
application filed October 26, 1903. Serial No. 178,562.
To all] whom, t may'concen:
` Be it known that 1, PETER A. CURTIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in N eedle-Cases, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in needle-cases; and it has for its object the production of a neat, durable, and inexpensive case which can be conveniently thrust into the bore of any common thread-spool when not in use.
Further objects are to construct the same in two telescoping sections in order that the needles may be entirely inclosed, to form one of said sections with a slight taper, that it may be held by frictional contact within the coperating section and also for the purpose of holding the entire case by frictional contact within the spool, said taper being also provided to permit the sections to be telescoped only to an extent necessary to securely hold them together, thus preventing any possibility of the head of the outer section striking the ends of the needles and forcing' the points thereof excessively into the needle-point protector or against the wooden plug and causing them to become blunt or broken, and to provide means whereby the needle-point protector will be held securely but removably in the inner section.
To these ends the invention consists in the novel arrangement, construction, and combination of parts to be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved needle-case, showing the same applied to a spool. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarg'ed cross-section on line w w, Eig'. 1, looking up. Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-section on line rc Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a cross-section on line y y, Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a cross-section on line s 2', Eig. 1.
Referring to the drawings in detail, like numerals of reference refer to like parts in the several figures.
The reference-numeral 1 designates a common thread-spool having the usual bore Q, into which my improved needle-case 3 is thrust when not in use.
The case is constructed of two telescoping' sections-an outer cylindrical section ,having' one end thereof closed, and an inner section 5, having both ends open and being tapered from its outer end to a point intermediate of its ends. The outer tapered portion of the inner section is slitted, as at 6, to permit of the same expanding' for the convenient removal of a plug' 7, which may be provided with a suitable enlargement orhead 8, serving as a means for conveniently grasping' the case and removing the same from the bore of the spool. The plug is provided with an annular groove 9, into which an annular internal bead lO fits, which is formed in the outer end of the inner section. The plug' 7,' which is tapered, causes the inner section to expand when the plug is being' inserted therein until the bead 10 enters the groove 9, when the section contracts against the plug' and firmly holds the latter. p
If desired, a staple 11 may be driven into the plug' by passing the same through perforations 12, formed in the'inner section on opposite sides of the slit 6, thereby preventing turning of the plug within said section.
A needle-point protector 13, constructed of cork, paper, or other suitable material, is held in the inner section and is inserted therein from the slitted outer end and compressed by the gradually -tapered walls, it being' held about midway between the ends of the said section, so to cause the plug' to bear with Vone end against the end of the same, and thus hold it against movement. Then the needlepoint protector is cut by the continual inscrtion of the needles therein and withdrawal therefrom, the plug' 7 may be removed and the protector withdrawn and replaced by a new. protector.
The needles are inserted into the inner end of the inner section and the points thereof stuck into the needle-point protector. rlhe inner section of the case may be of any desired leng'th, but as shown is of a length permitting one half of the needles to project therefrom, so that any desired one may be IOO conveniently removed. The outer case incloses the projecting ends ol the needles and lits over the end of the inner section, which is tapered to enter said outer section to a certain extent,l which, however, is insuliicient to allow the projecting ends of the needles being' struck by the head of the outer casing.
Having thus described my invention, what l claim isl. A needle-case comprising a hollow inner Section having a needle-point protector and a plug' entering' one end and holding said needle-point protector in said section, and a hol" low outer section into which the open end of the inner section is inserted.
2. A needle-case comprising a hollow tapered section having' a needle-point protector held therein, a plug' entering the enlarged end ol said section and bearing with its inserted end against said needle-point protector, and a hollow cylindrical section into which the open end of the tapered section is inserted.
3. A needle-case comprising' a hollow section slitted lengthwise at one end and tapered from said slitted end to a point intermediate its ends, a needle-point protector located in said section and being held from movement in one direction by the said taper, a plug' inserted in said slitted end and bearing with its inserted end ag'ainst said needle-point protector to hold the same against movement in the opposite direction, and a second hollow section into which the open end ot' the lirst-mentioned section is inserted.
4. A needle-case comprising a hollow section slitted lengthwise at one end and tapered from said slitted end to a point intermediate its ends, a needle-point protector located in said section and being' held from movement in one direction by the said taper, a plug inserted in saidslitted end and bearing with its inserted end against said needle-point protector to hold the same against movement in the opposite direction, a staple passing through the wall of said section on opposite sides of the slit therein and entering the plug, and a hollow cylindrical section into which the open end of the first-mentioned section is inserted.
5. A needle-case comprising a hollow sec# tion slitted at one end and having an annular internal bead near said end, aneedle-point protector held in said section, a plug having an annular groove and being inserted in said slitted end to cause said bead to enter said groove, and a second hollow section into which the open end of the first-mentioned section is inserted.
In witness whereof l have aiixed my signature in the presence of two subscribing' witnesses.
