Improvements in Two Reel Sewing Machines.
I, DENIS FLANAGAN, of Wellfield Works, Clayton-le-Moors, in the County of
Lancaster, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
-
"
eve,"
This invention relates to improvements in two reel sewing machines, and con-
sists of improved device for facilitating the passage of the thread to the
and for preventing the thread being sprung out; also for facilitating the passage
of the thread behind the reel carrier and the interior of the case of the latter.
According to this invention the cover of the reel case is made loose and hinged
at one end, and provided with a right return spring, so that said cover is readily
puslied sideways or open by the thread on its entrance, and on the thread passing
to the eye the spring at once returns the cover and the thread is secured in its
eye and there is no strain or liability of breakage of the thread.
For facilitating the passage of the thread behind the reel carrier, a spring stud
is mounted in the reel case holder so that the end of said stud projects slightly
beyond the inner face of the reel case holder so that the interior of the reel case
carrier and the exterior of the reel carrier are separated by the end
of the spring stud, thereby providing a clear space for passage of the
thread, the projecting stud serving for purpose of balancing the reel case
and at the same time being quite free to move inwards and out of the way for
the passage of the thread between the back of the reel case holder and the interior
of the reel carrier.

Improvements in Two Reel Dewing machines.
I, DENIS FLANAGAN, of Wellfield Works, Clayton-le-Moors, in the County of
Lancaster, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in two reel sewing machines such as
are described in Specification of Letters Patent No. 2647 dated 11th Feb. 1892
granted to the present applicant, and consists of an improved device for facilitating
[Price 8d.1

page_text: the passage of the thread to the "eye" and for preventing the thread being sprung
out, also for facilitating the passage of the thread behind the reel carrier and
the interior of the case of the latter.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, in
which:
-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of the improved reel case carrier.
Fig. 2 is a front sectional view of the reel case carrier, the lid or cover being
open or turned back.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the reel case carrier.
According to this invention the cover 1 of the reel case holder 2 is hinged at 3
to the body and in such cover 1 is a V shaped slot 4 by which the thread is guided
to the eye 5 and in order to facilitate the passage of the thread the part 6 of the
cover 1 and forming one side of the V shaped slot 4 is hinged on the pin or
stud 7 and is provided with a return spring 8 so that the cover 6 is readily
pushed sideways or open by the passage of the thread to the eye 5 and when
the thread enters the eye 5 the spring 8 at once returns the cover 6 to its
normal position and the thread is secured in the eye 5 for the time being and
there is no strain or liability of breakage of the thread.
For facilitating the passage of the thread behind the reel carrier 9 a spring
stud 10 is mounted in the reel case holder 2 so that the end of said stud 10 projects
slightly beyond the inner face of the reel case holder 2 and the interior of the
reel case carrier 2 and the exterior of the reel carrier 9 are separated by the
end of the spring stud 10 thereby providing a clear space for the passage of the
thread the projecting stud 10 serving for the purpose of balancing the reel case 9
and at the same time being quite free to move inwards and out of the way
for the passage of the thread between the back of the reel case 9 and the interior
of the reel case carrier 2.
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:-
(1) In a reel case holder or carrier a lid or cover having a V slot or opening
communicating with the eye for the passage of the thread one side of such
V shaped slot being formed of a hinged and spring part normally closing the
entrance to the eye as and for the purpose herein described and substantially as
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
(2) The improved lid or cover of a reel case holder as and for the purpose herein
described and substantially as illustrated by the annexed drawings.
(3) The improved reel case holder as herein described and substantially as
illustrated by Figs. 1 and 2 of the annexed drawings.
