Description
F. D. CHURA SPOOL HOLDER Aug; 17, 1937.
Filed Nov. 5, 1955 ATTORNEY BY ww Patented Aug. 17, 1937 PATENT OFFICE SPOOL HOLDER Fred D. Ohura, Orange, N. J.
Application November 3 Claims.
This invention relates to spool holders and more particularly to a spool holder for sewing machines of the type ordinarily used in clothing factories, and has as one of its objects to provide a spool holder which will overcome certain disadvantages attending the handling of spools of thread in the customary manner.
In tailoring establishments, many hours are wasted in searching for spools of threads of different shades and sizes to match or otherwise be suitable for the cloth to be sewn, inasmuch as the spools of thread are practically promiscuously stored without any regard to arrangement according to colors or sizes, and also there is ordinarily a loss involved through appropriation of the spools by the operators of the sewing machines for their own use Therefore the invention has as another object to provide a spool holder which may be readily installed upon the top of a sewing machine and a number of spools of thread arranged thereon, the holder being so constructed as to prevent any surreptitious removal of the spools, and so that thread may be drawn from any of the spools to the thread feeding mechanism of the sewing machine and when it becomes necessary to change to a thread of a different color or size this may be readily effected.
Another object of the invention is to so construct a spool holder that it may be readily installed upon the top of a sewing machine and in such a manner that, if repairs are required to be made to the machine, the holder may be swung downwardly to a position suspended below the top of the machine. v
Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby bobbins may be supported in juxtaposition to the spools, when so desired.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing, wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:-
Figure l is a view in front elevation, partly in section, of one form of holder embodying the invention.
Figure 2 is a view in elevation looking at one end of the holder.
Figure 3 is a similar view looking at the other end of the holder.
5, 1935, Serial No. 48,375
Figure 4 is a detail cross section taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive, the spool holder comprises a base member which is indicated by the numeral I and which may be of wood or any other material found suitable for the purpose, and this member may be mounted upon the top 2 of any ordinary sewing machine, a hinge 3 being provided at the outer end of the said top 2 and a bushing 4 being embedded in the said top and interiorly threaded to receive the threaded end of a binding screw 5, the shank of which is fitted through an opening 6 in the inner end of the base I, the said screw having a head 1 whereby it may 5 be readily rotated to permit of swinging of the base about its hinge 3 and permit the spool holder, which is mounted upon the base, as will presently be described, to be swung to hang downwardly from the top of the sewingmachine,
when repairs are required to be made to the machine.
A standard 8 is mounted upon the base I and upstands therefrom, and a bar 9 is secured at one end of the standard and extends laterally at right angles therefrom and, in practice, preferably above the head of the sewing machine, a diagonal brace I0 being secured to one side of the standard 8 and to the under side of the bar 9 so as to brace the said bar. The standard 8 is provided at its upper end with a rearwardly extending head indicated by the numeral l I and which head is provided in its outer end with a vertically extending recess l 2 and a relatively short upright or standard I3 is slidably adjustably fitted in the recess and is formed with a longitudinally extending slot l4 through which is fitted a set screw l5 threaded through a nut l5 seated in a polygonal recess l5a formed in the inner side of the upright 8, the head of this screw bearing against the outer face of the said upright l3, when the screw is tightened. An indicating scale mark I6 is impressed or printed upon the outer face of the head II at one side of the recess and scale mark ll upon the face of the standard l3 are adapted to be brought selectively into registration with the mark l6 when the set screw is loosened. A smaller head I8 is provided at the other end of the bar 9 and secured thereto and supported thereby opposite the head H, and this head l8 likewise has a recess I9 accommodating a standard member 20 corresponding to the standard l3 and secured in positions of adjustment by means of set screws 2| corresponding to the set screw l5. The standard member 20 is formed in its upper bobbin, the said finger having an upturned outer end with a recess 22 and a bar 23 is seated at one end in this recess and held therein by means of a hinge 24.
The other end of the bar is engaged in a smaller recess 25 formed in the upper end of the upright l3 and a lock 26 of any suitable type is mounted upon the outer face of the standard I3 and its bolt is engageable with a keeper 21 provided upon the under side of the bar 23, near the free end thereof and it will be understood at this point that by the use of a suitable key,.the lock bolt may be retracted so as to permit of the bar 23 being swung upwardly about the hinge 24..
A plurality of spindles 28 are threaded at their lower ends into sockets formed in the. upper side of the bar .9, and the e spindles may be equidistantly spaced as shown in Figure lorspaced' at various distances, as may be found desirable.
Spools of thread are mounted upon the spindles H in a row as illustrated in Figure. 1, and-the bar" 23 is formed in its under side with a series of sockets or recesses 29 inwhich the upper. ends of the spindles engage, and it will now. be evident that when the bar 23 is in lowered position and locked, it will be impossible for one not provided with the proper key, to remove any of the spools from the spindle. However, by the useof a proper key, the bar 23 may be swung upwardly about its hinge 24 and the spools of thread which require replenishment, may be removed from the respective spindles and other spoolssubstituted therefor. I g
In orderthat thread led from the spools may be suitably guided to the thread feeding mechanism of the sewing machine, a rod 30 is mounted at one end, in the. head H. of the upright 8, and at its other end in a socket in the head l8, and thread guiding eyes 3| are arrangedalong the upper side of this rod and the thread from any of the spools may be drawn through these eyes and carried to and through a thread guiding eye 32 which is mounted upon the upright 8, the thread then being led to the sewing machine. In order that bobbins may be. supported above the bar 23 and above the spools, wire supporting members areprovided and eachof these supporting members comprises a shank 33 which is fitted in the upper side of the, bar, and a finger 34 which extends at right angles from the upper end of the shank to accommodate and support the top of a machine, a bar extending laterally from the standard, a head upon the standard, another end 35 to prevent accidental disengagement of head mounted at the outer end of the bar, each of said heads having a recess in-its outer side, a standard member vertically adjustably mounted in the recess in each respective head, a second bar hingedly mounted at one end upon the standard member supported by the last mentioned head and adapted to be swung to position extending above the first mentioned laterally extending bar and with its other end resting upon the standard member upon the first mentioned head, a lock upon the last mentionedstandard member forholding the last mentioned end of said hingedly mounted bar in place upon the last mentioned standard member, and a plurality of =1 spool spindles mounted upon the first mentioned laterally extending hingedly mounted bar, the second mentioned bar being provided with sockets, to receive ,the upper ends of the said spindles. I
