EDGAR R. S. BARTLEET St. Leonards Cottage Bevley Redditch Worcestershire do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:―
I first form an oblong sheath of Leatherette, Leather or Paper, one of the sides
being open. Through the open side and into the sheath I place an ordinary Needle
Pocket of Leatherette, Leather or Paper-1 then hinge the said Needle Pocket into
the said Sheath by means of a brass pin or paper fastener which I pass through one of tho
corners of the said sheath next to the opening also through the said Needle Pocket and
then through the other side of the sheath. I then complete the hinge by rivetting
the brass pin or bending the two ends of the said paper fastener apart. To facilitate
the pulling out of the said Needle Pocket from the said sheath I attach to it a metal
clip with outstanding sides by which the said Needle Pocket may readily be pulled
out and it will equally prevent the said Needle Pocket from passing too far into the
said sheath.
The said sheath may also contain two pockets of Needles by leaving both sides
of the sheath open and hinging a Needle Pocket into either side exactly in the
same manner as described for one pocket, but first putting a paper division in the
middle to prevent the Needles in the two Needle Pockets from catching in the inside
of the said sheath.
The Needles of various sizes and kinds for furnishing the case described are stuck
in cloth in the usual manner and I fasten them into the Needle Pockets in the usual
manner of the trade.

Worcestershire 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 :-
I first form an oblong sheath of Leatherette, Leather, Cardboard or paper, as shewn
at a. b. c. d. in figure 1, one of the sides, b. d., being open. Through this open
side b. d., and into the sheath, I place an ordinary needle-pocket made of Leatherette,
Leather, cardboard or paper, denoted in the same figure by the dotted oblong
form e.f.g. I then hinge this needle pocket into the sheath a. b. c. d. by means of a
brass pin, or a paper-fastener, the head of which is shown at . This pin, or paper-
fastener I pass through one of the corners of the said sheath next to the open side b. d.,
and also through the needle pocket, and then through the other side of the sheath,
placing upon this pin, or paper-fastener, inside the sheath, a washer of Leatherette,
Leather, cardboard, or such like material, on each side of the needle pocket. One of
these washers is denoted in the illustration by the dotted circle i, and these washers
are useful in preventing detriment to the needle-pocket from friction against the
inside of the sheath. I then complete the hinge by rivetting the brass pin, or if a
paper fastener be used, by bending the two ends of this apart, and I then call the
needle-pocket, a hinged needle-pocket.
To facilitate the pulling out of this hinged needle-pocket from the sheath, I attach to
it a metal clip with outstanding sides, by which the hinged needle-pocket may readily be
pulled out, and it will equally prevent the said hinged needle-pocket from passing too
far into the said sheath; or for the same purposes, and by preference, I use a toilet
pin, the head of which is seen at k., where the hinged needle-pocket, denoted by the
dotted oblong form e. f. g., is shown as closed into the sheath, and at 1., where the
binged needle-pocket, here marked m. m. is shown as pulled out for the purpose of
selecting a needle for use; and the shank of this toilet pin being bent as denoted by
the dotted line o., when glued into the hinged needle-pocket in the process of making
this, is held firmly, and cannot be drawn out. The different sizes of needles placed
in the hinged needle-pocket ready for use are denoted by n. n. n. n.
The said sheath may also contain two hinged pockets of needles, by leaving both
sides of the sheath open and hingeing a needle-pocket into either side exactly in the
same manner as described for one needle-pocket, but 1 may first put a paper division
in the middle of the sheath to prevent the needles in the two hinged needle-pockets
from catching in the inside of the said sheath.
The needles of various sizes and kinds for furnishing the cases described are stuck
in cloth or wrapped in packets in the usual manner, and fixed into the hinged needle-
pockets in the usual manner of the trade.
I may also apply this my invention for a hinged needle-pocket, or pockets,
constructed in the manner above-described to any sheath of a suitable ornamental

page_text: shape, such as the heart form shown in figure 2. containing two hinged needle-
pockets, one marked p., shown as closed into the heart-shaped sheath r., and the
other shown as pulled out of the said sheath R. Figure 3 shows a circular form of
sheath s., capable of containing three hinged needle-pockets respectively marked t. t. t.
and all shown as open, but constructed and fixed in the sheath in the same manner as
before described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
The application of needle-pockets constructed of the materials above-mentioned,
and furnished with the washers, and toilet pins also, for the purposes above-stated,
and hinged with a brass pin, or a paper-fastener into sheaths inade of the materials
named above, and of either a plain or an ornamental shape, so as to form a new
and an improved case for holding noedles.
