Figure 4. side elevation of a modified arrangement.
Figure 5. cross section through line y-z Figure 4.
Figure 6. plan of Figure 4.
Referring to Figure 1. a is a base piece of metal or other suitable material,
through which the wire or metal rod is passed & bent so as to form the loops c
(Figure 3). Through these loops c the pin d is passed. The end of the pin d is
bent as shown at e so as to prevent it from accidentally slipping out of the loops,
but it can be removed when required by exercising sufficient force. The hanks
of wool are retained upon the pin d between the loops c.
In a modified arrange-
ment, Fig. (4) I provide a pin d having a threaded portione upon the end of

on one end substantially as described.
3. The device for securing hanks of wool and the like consisting of a base plate
carrying loop pieces having internal threads in said loops or apertures, a pin having
a screw thread on same & engaging in said loops, said pin carrying the hanks of
wool & having a ring on end end substantially as described.
