Improvements in Envelopes or Cases for Needles.
I, GEORGE LEONARD TURNEY, of 64 Aldermanbury, in the city of London, Needle
and Pin Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
My improved envelope or case for needles is made of any suitable material such as
stiff paper
and is provided with the usual flaps which can be folded up so as to form
an envelope; within the envelope I attach a piece of suitable fabric such as cloth or
flannel in which the needles are stuck; this fabric is fixed to the inside of the bottom
flap of the envelope by means of the loop which is provided to receive the tongue of
the upper or closing flap. This loop may be made of any suitable material such as
thin sheet metal, the ends of which are passed through the flap and through the
fabric and then turned over the fabric thereby securely holding it in position.

I, GEORGE LEONARD TURNEY, of 64 Aldermanbury, in the city of London, Needle
and Pin Manufacturer, 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 an improved envelope or case for needles, which comprises
an outer covering of any suitable material such as stiff paper and is provided with the
usual flaps which can be folded up so as to form an envelope. Within the envelope I
attach a piece of suitable fabric such as cloth or flannel. in which the needles are
stuck; this fabric is fixed to the inside of the bottom flap of the envelope by means
of the loop which is provided to receive the tongue of the upper or closing flap. This
loop may be made of any suitable material such as thin sheet metal, the ends of which
are passed through the flap and through the fabric and then turned over the fabric
thereby securely holding it in position.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is an elevation of a needle case constructed according to this invention
and shown in its closed position.
Figure 2 is an elevation showing the same opened for the removal of the
needles.
Figure 3 is an end view of the case and
Figure 4 is an isometric perspective view thereof.
Figure 5 is a view similar to figure 2 but showing a flap, hereinafter described,
closed.
a is the outer covering, which, as herein before stated can be made of stiff paper or
other suitable material, and which is provided with the flaps band c. The latter flap c
is formed with the tongue d adapted to be introduced into the loop e.
g
fis a piece of fabric such as flannel into which the needles are stuck and is a
piece of paper which as shown is somewhat larger in size than the piece of fabric f so
as to form the flaps h, h, h, h; it may however be of the same size.
The parts and are secured to the cover a by means of the loop e which, as
shown, is made of metal and provided with the prongs i which are inserted through
the parts a, f, g and clenched on the inner side of the case.
When it is required to close the case the flaps h, h are turned over the edges of the
piece so as to protect the ends of the needles, as shown in figure 5 and then the
case is closed.

page_text: 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
An envelope or case for needles comprising the outer covering a having a tongue
and loop for closing the case, the piece of fabric for receiving the needles and the
intermediate piece of material y having the flaps for covering the edges of the piece
of material f, all the said parts being united and held in position by means of prongs
formed upon the said loop, all substantially as described.
