Thread.
I, FRED CLAYTON, of 6, Ocklynge Avenue, Eastbourne, in the County of Sussex,
Inventor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
-
My invention relates to improvements in and relating to stands for reels of
cotton or thread.
And in order that my invention may be thorougly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon:
Fig. 1, is an elevation of the stand with a portion of the hexagonal block shewn
in section to distinguish the shape of the circular tray f.
Fig. 2, is a plan of the underside of the base or disk."
Fig. 3, is a plan of the top of the stand.
•
In constructing this invention for my improved cotton or thread reel stand, I
prepare a base or disk with ball feet m and on which is fixed by a screw na
hexagonal block g smaller than the base; round the sides of the hexagonal block g
[Price 8d.1

page_text: on each face in the centre are inserted spring spindles round which the axis of the
reels of cotton rotate, the said spring spindles are split and made taper at the
ends to allow the reels to be pushed on and have sufficient spring in them to
prevent the reels h from falling off or unwinding in a reverse direction; opposite
the reels on the hexagonal block 9 are fixed eyelets i formed by a coil of wire
through which the cotton j passes to prevent the ends of cotton ; or thread getting
entangled. The hexagonal block 9 is hollowed out on the top to form a circular
tray for the reception of pins, needles, or thimbles. On the centre of the
hexagonal block is a column or pillar c to which is fixed a crossbar with knives
d and e for cutting cotton or thread, and on the top of column or pillar is fixed a
cup 6 with a pin cushion a attached thereto.
The hexagonal base could be made hollow if preferred to form a box or the
like.
The apparatus hereinbefore described may be constructed of wood and metal,
or of any other suitable material.
If preferable base or disk k can be fixed to the block 9 by nails or glue, or made
out of the solid of any shape to take any number of reels of cotton.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. In a stand for reels of cotton, the combination of the various parts as above
described in this specification and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In a stand for reels of cotton, the combination of the pin cushion a cup b
column or pillar c knives & and e, tray for pins f hexagonal block wire coil
eyelet base or disk k split spring spindles and ball feet m, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawing.
3. In a stand for reels of cotton, the combination of the base or disk and block
glued or nailed together, or made out of the solid and the stand to take any number
of reels of cotton, substantially as described.
