Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 19, 1909. Serial No. 508,401.

- being had to the accompanying drawings,

forming a part hereof.

My invention has relation to improvements in sewing cabinets; and it consists in the novel construction of cabinet more fully set forth in the specification and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of the cabinet when closed; Fig. 2 is a perspective of the cabinet open; Fig. 3 is a detailed perspective showing the embroidery hoop mounted in position on one of the cabinet leaves; Fig. 4: is a horizontal section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is an edge view of the embroidery hoop (partly broken) Fig. 6 is a vertical cross section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4c; and Fig. 7 is an enlarged vertical cross section of the upper portion of the cabinet when closed on the line 77 of Fig. 1.

The object of my invention is to construct a ladies sewing cabinet which may be closed into a compact form when not in use, and opened out when in use in such manner that all the paraphernalia liable to be brought into requisition may be readily accessible to the sewer, be it a spool of thread, a ske'm of silk, an embroidery hoop, a table or panel for the support of the needle-cushion, thimble or thread, and in fact anything which the sewer may have occasion to use when engaged in sewing, darning, or repairmg.

In detail the device may be described as follows Referring to the drawings, A, A, represent two frames or leaves hinged together at their edges, and when closed being latched by a latch 01 on the free edge of one leaf engaging a staple b on the opposite leaf. On two contiguous sides of one of the leaves are handlesm by which the cabinet may be carried from place to place. The frames of the leaves are covered over with burlap, cloth,

silk or any equivalent material as fully illustrated in the drawings. When opened out the cabinet is set ugright and is t on ready for use (Fig. 2). isposed near the top of one of the leaves is a cross-bar 1 provided with a series of hooks 2, for the support of skeins of silk 8 and between the bar 1 and the upper member of the leaf and adjacent to the hinge axis is a lug 3.

Between the lug 3 and the bar land the upper member of the leaf respectively are pivotally mounted blocks 4, 4, to which are rigidly secured arms 5, 5, said arms, as well as the bar 1 being provided with pegs or spindles c for the support of spools d of silk, cotton, thread, yarn and the like, the upper arm 5 being additionally provided with a pin cushion e. The pivotal mounting of the 'blocks 4: allows for the outward swinging of the arms 5, (Fig. 2) whenever occaslon arises to remove a spool from its spindle. When the arm is swung into the leaf, the free end thereof bears snugly against the free outer member of the leaf-frame as fully shown in Fig. 2 where one of the arms 5 has been swung outwardly, the other still remaining closed. The bar 1 islikewise provided with pegs 0. is provided with a series of pockets h for various sewing paraphernalia (not shown). Hinged above a cross-bar 6 on the opposite leaf- A is a drop-panel 7 which when dropped down is supported by cords or tapes 8, and in this position (Fig. 2) such panel may beused as a sewing table for the support of spools-of sewing silk, thimbles, pm cushions and the like as shown. The upper member of the leaf frame A. (Figs. 2, 7) is wider than the corresponding member of the.

leaf A, this arrangement permitting the mounting of hooks 9 on such wider member, which hooks, when the leaves are closed (Fig. 7) are free to pass under the upper frame member of the leaf A, such hooks being serviceable for any legitimate purpose such as hanging skeins of s1lk and the like.

Disposed at the bottom on the inside of the leaf A is a pocket h for the stowmg away of an embroidery hoop or ring 10, which hoop when used is tem orarlly supported on the leaf A by'the rangement: At the upper outer corner of the socket 11 into which may be inserted either one of two loops or eyes 12 formed in a metal stri 13 secured to the outer section of the em roidery hoop, the stem 14 of a knob or head 15 being inserted through the leaf member in which the socket 11 1s Below the bar 1 the leafollowing arcloth covering the fram formed, into the loop maining supported 1n the operator (Fig. 3). The lmob 15 may remain permanently in the leaf frame or may be detached and placed into the pocket It with the hoop when the latter is not in use. -The bar '6 may likewise be provided with hooks 2.

It will be seen from the foreioing that the cabinet amply provides for t e storing of the various paraphernalia, and when the leaves are closed, the panel 7 is folded into the leaf A opposite the arms 5, 5, the rigid construction 0 the parts 3, 4, 5, preventmg the panel from accldentallg dis e o the 12, the hoopthus reproper position for eaf A.

acing the wages Having described my invention, what I claim is A sewing cabinet comprisin a pair of hih'gedleaves, a series of spoo -su porting arms hinged to one of the leaves a on the hinge axis between the leaves, and a roppanel hinged to the opposite leaf and foldable against the leaf opposite the arms aforesaid, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof Iatfix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
