PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Thread Reel and Needle and Pin Holder.
CHARLES STEWART WEATHERUP, Castlebar, Co. Mayo, Ireland, Commercial
Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-.
This invention relates to a combined thread reel and needle and pin case,
intended to utilise reels also for holding such small articles, so that the latter will
be in a convenient position ready for use when required, and can be kept in a safe
and handy place during sewing operations. One end of the reel is closed up,
either by turning it with a closed end, or by securing a small piece of cardboard,
wood, tin or the like, by means of paste, glue, tacks or other convenient means.
A cavity or recess is thus formed, the closed end forming the bottom, in which the
pins and needles can be placed, and a lid is furnished at the other end to secure
them. This lid may take the form of a cap, placed over a central projecting part
forming the end of the needle case, the projecting part being turned with the reel
or fitted to it by glue, tacks or the like.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Thread Reel and Needle and Pin Holder.
I, CHARLES STEWART WEATHERUP, Castlebar, Co. Mayo Ireland, Commercial
Clerk, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in reels or bobbins for holding thread
whereby they can at the same time be made use of for carrying needles or pins or
other such small articles used in sewing operations, and so that such articles may be

kept in a safe place and always ready to hand when required for use.
purpose I construct the reel or bobbin with a central recess or chamber one end of
which is closed to form the bottom thereof either by the said recess extending only
partly through the body of the reel or bobbin, or by securing a small piece of
cardboard, wood, tin, or other suitable material to one end thereof by means of

chamber is provided with a lid or cover which may take the form of a cap pre-
ferably constructed of tin or other sheet metal, which cap fits on to a projecting
rim, formed around the mouth or opening of the recess or chamber. The said cap
secures the pins, needles or other small articles safely within the reel or bobbin and
may be easily removed when any of the said articles are required for use.
In order to make my invention more clearly understood I will describe the same
with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of one of my improved reels or bobbins and Fig. 2 is
a plan of the same.
Figs. 3 and 4 are corresponding views of a modification and Figs. 5 and 6 are
a side view and section respectively of the aforesaid cap or cover.
a represents an ordinary reel or bobbin for holding or carrying thread and b is
the recess or chamber formed therein which in Fig. 1 extends nearly to one end of
the reel or bobbin, sufficient material being left to form the bottom of the said
recess or chamber. The other end of the reel is formed with a projecting rim al

around the mouth or opening of the recess 6 for the purpose of receiving a
which fits tightly on to the said rim so as to secure the pins needles or other articles
in the said recess.
In the modification shown in Figs. 3 & 4 the recess or chamber extends right
through the body of the reel the bottom of the said recess or chamber being
formed by a thin piece d of cardboard wood, tin or other suitable material. The
cap or cover which in these views is removed, is fitted to the top of the recess or
chamber, in a similar manner to that shown in Fig. 1. The bottom piece d is
secured to the end of the reel by means of paste, glue, tacks or other convenient
means.
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. The combination of a reel or bobbin for carrying thread and a recess or chamber
such as b for holding needles, pins or other such small articles provided with a cap
or cover c substantially as described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
2. The modifications of the reel with recess and cover shown in Figs. 3 & 4 of
the drawings.
Dated this 10th day of June 1893.
