PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Certain Improvements in Pin Trays.
I, JANE FERRAND NOWELL, of The View, Woodlesford, near Leeds, in the
County of York, Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in pin trays, and its object is to
provide a tray which may be readily attached or mounted in a convenient position
on a sewing machine.
For this purpose I may provide a socket in a projection on the underside of the
tray which socket is adapted to be mounted upon the reel pin or other convenient
projection. The reel pin usually fitted to shuttle mechanism for holding the reel
from which the shuttle reels are filled may be utilized for this purpose.
Instead of a socket the pin tray may be provided with a spigot or projection
below which may be inserted in a suitable oil hole or other hole.
The attachment is preferably so formed that when the pin tray is off the machine
it will stand.
