We, MARCUS BROWN-WESTHEAD, of Manchester, in the County
Palatine of Lancaster, Merchant, and CHARLES BARTLEET JAMES, of
Redditch, in the County of Worcester, Needle Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention for "AN IMPROVED WINDER FOR

THREAD, WORSTED, OB OTHER SEWING OR EMBROIDERING MATERIALS, AND IN
[Price 8d.]

page_text: COMBINING TWO OR MORE OF THESE ARTICLES IN ONE PACKET," to be as follows,
that is to say :-
Our Invention consists in forming the ordinary flat winder, upon which
is usually wound cotton, silk, thread, worsted, or other sewing or
embroidering material, as a sheath or flat case open at one or both ends,
and formed of paper, thin metal, or other suitable material to contain a
packet or packets of needles, a few pins, or a strip or strips of buttons;
or a combination of either or all of these articles or any of them with
the sewing material may be formed by such articles being slid into the
case or sheath at either end; or the buttons may be sewn or otherwise
fastened or attached upon the outside of the case in required numbers,
rows, or position; or the winder may be cut out of paper, cardboard,
metal, or other suitable material without being formed as a case when
it is desired to combine the pins or buttons and sewing material without
needles; or the pins may be stuck into one end of the sheath, left solid
for the purpose.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Marcus Brown-Westhead and Charles Bartleet

page_text: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands,
and Isle of Man, an Invention for "AN IMPROVED WINDER FOR PACKING OR
PUTTING UP FOR SALE NEEDLES, PINS, BUTTONS, COTTON, SILK, THREAD, WORSTED,
OR OTHER SEWING OR EMBROIDERING MATERIALS, AND IN COMBINING. TWO OR MORE
OF THESE ARTICLES IN ONE PACKET," upon the condition (amongst others)
that we, the said Marcus Brown-Westhead and Charles Bartleet James,
by an instrument in writing under our hands and scals, should par-
ticularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and
in what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to
be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next
and immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that we, the said Marcus Brown-Westhead and
Charles Bartlect James, do hereby declare the nature of our said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference
being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed, and to the letters and
figures marked thereon, that is to say:-
Our Invention consists in forming the ordinary flat winder, upon which
is usually wound cotton, silk, thread, worsted, or other sewing or
embroidering material, as a sheath or flat case open at one or both ends,
and formed of paper, thin metal, or other suitable material to contain a
packet or packets of needles, a few pins, or a strip or strips of buttons;
or a combination of either or all of these articles with the sewing material
may be formed by such articles being slid into the case or sheath at
either end; or the buttons may be sewn or otherwise fastened or attached
upon the outside of the case in required numbers, rows, or position,
or the winder may be cut out of paper, cardboard, metal, or other
suitable material without..being: formed as a case when it is desired
to combine buttons with the sewing material without. needles; or
the pins may be stuck into one end of the sheath, left solid for the
purpose.
We will now describe our Invention more clearly in detail by aid
of the Drawings hereunto attached, which are intended to illustrate our
Invention generally, and some of the various ways in which we propose
to combine the articles we have already mentioned.
Figure 1 represents in front and end elevations a winder for sewing or
cmbroidering material formed into a flat case or sheath, and open at
one end (a) for the reception of a packet of needles (b), which is slid

page_text: in and out of such case or sheath when required for use. Figure 2
represents a similar winder, but open at both ends so as to receive two
packets of needles. The combination of pins with needles and the sewing
material is shewn in front and end elevations at Figure 3, the pins (c)
in this case being stuck in the solid end of the winder, though they may
be inserted in any other suitable portion of the same, if preferred.
Figure 4 exhibits a winder open at both ends, the one end receiving the
needle packet (6), and the other receiving a strip of buttons, for instance,
Figure 5. Or a combination of all the articles described may be formed
as shewn at Figure 6, the needle packet or packets (6) being inserted at
one end, the pins (c) at the other, and the buttons being sewn upon the
outside of the winder in suitable numbers or position.
Figure 7
represents an ordinary flat winder without a sheath or case, and for
the purpose of combining, as shewn, sewing material and buttons.
We would again remark that we propose making our improved winders
or cases of paper, cardboard, thin metal, or other suitable material as
may be found most convenient to suit the requirements of any particular
case.
Having thus described the object and nature of our said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be carried into effect, we claim "The
Improvements in Winders for Packing or Putting up for Sale Needles,
Pins, Buttons, Cotton, Silk, Thread, Worsted, or other Sewing or
Embroidering Materials, and in combining Two or more of these
Articles in one Packet," substantially in manner as herein more fully set
forth and specified.
In witness whereof, we, the said Marcus Brown-Westhead and
Charles Bartleet James, have hereunto set our hands and seals,
this First day of May, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight
hundred and sixty-nine.
MARCUS BROWN-WESTHEAD.
