WILLIAM -I. PATTON, OE HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND ALFRED BOMGARDINER, 0F SAME PLACE.
Letters .Patent No.196,03v2, dated October 19, 186i).
\ ,l The Schedule referred to in these. Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom lt may conce/rn Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. PATTON, of the city of, Harrisburg, countyY of Dauphin, and StateA of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and improved Spool-Rack, for holding spools of sewing-thread; and I. hereby certify that the following is a full, clear, .and exact description of Vthe saine, reference being made to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters vof reference marked thereon. v
In the drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the rack;
Figure 2 is a side view; and
Figure 3 is an end view of the same.
The point of novelty embodied in this device consists in providing adjustable elastic spring-supports, upon which the spools are placed, and retained by the Y tension -of said` springs, they permitting the convenient removal of said spools, as is hereinafter set forth.
In the figures- A. B represent the side strips of the trame of the rack.- They are straight pieces of' hard wood, or other suitable material, ofa proper length, width, and thickness,"and preferably have their edges rounded.
1Y interposed between said side strips, at their ends,
are the rounded end-pieces C C.
They are rigidly secured in place by screws, nails,
or other propermethod, and taken together with the side strips A B, form an oblong rectangularfi'ame, as
4.seen in lig. 1.
At a point midway between the ends of the pieces C C holes are perforated through said pieces, for the reception .of the centre-rod D. This is simply apiece 'of wire of propel' size, having a ring formed upon one of its nds. 1t is oi' sufficient length to pass through both of the end-pieces C C, and be properly secured in place.
Before securing it, the spring-supports a. a a a, 8vo., are placed in position upon it.
These supports are made of spring wire, or other suitable material. They are of suiicient length to reach from the outside of strip A to the outside of strip B. (See fig. 1.)
At 4'about the middle of said supports an eye is formed, by giving them a spiral wind of one turn around a piece of wire of proper diameter to.insure said eye being of proper size to encircle neatly the body offthe centre-rod D.
The ends of the spring-supports a a a a, &c., rest in notches cut in the edges of the. side strips A B, as seen in gs. 1 and 2, at c c c, &c.
These notch-es 0r recesses are intended to retain the spool-supports in proper position, in relation to each other, and also prevent their ends from catching upon obstructions.
Any suitable number of these supports can be coinbined with the frame.
The mannerot" using this rack is obvious. It is graspedI in the left hand, the middle finger pressed upward against the swing-support. A spool is `then slipped upon it.
The rack canthus be iilledexpeditiously.
The springs, bearing with their ends `upon the side strips, prevent the spools from being accidentally displaced.
A spool is shown in position in lig. 1.
Fig. 3 shows the position ,assumed by the springsupport during the operation of inserting or placing the spool.
The removal of spools is accomplished by simply grasping one between the fingers, and giving an up# ward and outward pull. This will instantly release the spool by a single etlort.
Having given a full, clear, and exact description ot' ,my invention, and its manner of operation,
What I claim as new, ot' my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
The' combination of .the elastic spring spool-supports a a, a a,.&c with the frame of a spool-rack, constructed and operating substantially as herein set forth.
