According to my Invention I wind the thread into a coil the loose end of which
is to be pulled in unwinding leads from the centre of the coil but is unwound from
the edge or periphery of the coil case.
According to my Invention I provide in the case a clear passage for the thread

apparatus with which it is' used I will describe the Invention' as applied to a card
board case from which its application to cases generally will be understood-I take
the wound coil with the aforesaid end of the thread laid over the side of the coil.
from the centre to the periphery, and I place two discs one at each side of the coil

the label or ticket is gummed 'the gap being placed over the aforesaid end of 'the
thread forming a clear passage between the side of the thread coil and the ticket
The two discs are connected by a strip of card board which is made of the 'width'
of the thickness of the coil but of a length not quite 'equal to its circumference and
to this is gummed a strip of paper of greater length than the circumference of the
coil and of greater width than" the thickness of the coil this paper serves to join
the two discs together and to the edge strip the gap in the disc being arranged as
a continuation of the gap left between the ends of the edge strip forins a clear
passage within the outer envelope or case of the coil" for the passage of the thread
from the centre to the part at which it is drawn out from the case for use-If.

Containing Coils of Thread for Use in Sewing Machines
I ALGERNON DEWHURST of the firm of Dewhurst & Sons of Skipton in the
County of York England Cotton Spinners and Sewing Cotton Manufacturers do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANU-
FACTURE OR CONSTRUCTION OF CASES CONTAINING COILS OF THREAD FOR USE IN
SEWING MACHINES OR FOR OTHER PURPOSES" and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following,
statement :-
My Invention has for its principal object to provide cases containing coils of
cotton or other thread for use in the shuttles of sewing machines such for example
as that known as the Singer oscillating shuttle machine but the said cases
containing coils may be used for any other purpose for which they may be
applicable and the essential feature of my Invention is the provision of a free
passage within the case for the thread from the centre of the coil to the
periphery of the case from which part it is drawn off in use.
Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings represent respectively an
elevation and a transverse section of a paper and card board case and enclosed coil
of thread the case being provided with a free passage for the thread as aforesaid.
The coil of thread to be enclosed in the case is shewn in Figure 3. The case by
which it is enclosed is made up of two cardboard side discs which are placed one
on either side of the coil of thread. The disc Figure 4 is a plain disc but the other
Over this
Figure 5 has a gap a extending from the centre and out at the side.
latter disc the ticket Figure 6 is pasted. Figure 7 shews a plan and section of this
disc and ticket gummed together. The gap a is placed over the end of the thread b
which lies along the side of the coil from the centre to the periphery, the gap a
giving a free passage for the thread between the side of the thread coil and the
ticket as shewn in Figure 2 which is enlarged for the purpose of shewing this more
clearly. The two discs are joined by strip Figure 8 which is made of a strip of
cardboard Figure 9 gummed to a wider and longer strip of paper Figure 10 having
a slit in it at c for the passage of the thread. The cardboard strip is not long
d
enough for its ends to meet round the periphery of the coil so that there is a gap
left between the ends for the thread, the said gap forming a continuation of the
gap a in the side disc. Figure 11 shews the combined strip placed ready for the
sides of the paper portion to be gummed to the two discs. Figure 1 shewing the
coil and case completed by this operation. Figures 12 and 13 represent views at
right angles to each other of a metal case made up of two discs one plain as in
Figure 14 and the other shewn in Figure 15 having a passage d' for the thread, on
its inner side. The said discs are placed one on each side of the coil and are joined
by a strip Figure 16 with ears which are bent down over the discs to secure the
parts together in a manner like that by which the parts are secured by the paper
strip in the preceding example. The passages inside the case for the free passage
of the thread are made by stamping up the groove or depression d² in the one
disc in line with a groove or depression d² in the side strip which has also a plot c³
for the passage of the thread to outside the case.

page_text: 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
First Cases containing coils of thread the said cases having within them a free
passage for the end of the thread extending from the centre to the periphery of the
said case as herein before described.
Second-Cases containing coils of thread and constructed substantially as
herein before described with reference to Figures 1 and 2 and 4 to 11 of the
accompanying drawings.
Third-
-Cases containing coils of thread the said cases being constructed
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by Figures 12 and 13 of
the accompanying drawings.
