PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Reel-holding Attachment for Sewing Machines and
the like.
I, JAMES YOUNG, Draper, 35 Hamilton Street, Greenock, Renfrewshire, do hereby
declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive reel holder
for attachment to a sewing machine or the like and by means of which loss of the
reels and waste of thread by soiling and unwinding may be avoided.
The improved reel-holding attachment consists of a covered casing which under one
modification is of shallow cylindrical form and provided with a central orifice so that it
may be fitted over the reel holding pin usually provided on the bracket arm of a sewing
machine. Within the casing a number of upright rods or pins are secured upon each
of which a reel of cotton or other thread may be fitted. The ends of thread from
the several reels are carried through separate eyes formed in the side or other part
of the casing a threading slit being by preference made to extend from each eye to
the open edge of the casing. By this means the thread from any one of the reels
may be led to the sewing machine needle or to the cop winding device without
uncovering the reel holder.
In another modification the reel holder is made of rectangular box form, and the
reels are carried by horizontal rods or pins resting in slots or orifices in the box, and
the ends of the threads are carried towards and through slits or eyes in the end of the
box. The box may be fitted on the reel holding pin on the bracket arm of the sewing
machine or it may be secured thereto by spring clamps on the reel holder.
Improved Reel-holding Attachment for Sewing Machines and
the like.
I, JAMES YOUNG, Draper, 35 Hamilton Street, Greenock, Renfrewshire, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
O be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
Lantion has for its ahirst to nravida a simpla and insenancies wool

page_text: for attachment to a sewing machine or the like and by means of which loss of the
reels and waste of thread by soiling and unwinding may be avoided.
The Invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 being a vertical section,
Figure 2 an elevation and
Figure 3 a plan with the cover removed of the improved reel-holding attachment
for sewing machines and the like.
The improved reel-holding attachment consists of a covered casing A which under
one modification is as shown of shallow cylindrical form and provided with a central
orifice B surrounded by a tube B₁ so that the reel-holder may be fitted over the
reel holding pin usually provided on the bracket arm of a sewing machine, the
tube B¹ serving to steady the reel-holder upon said pin. Within the casing A and
preferably on a removable disc C a number of upright rods or pins D.are secured, upon
each of which a reel E of cotton or other thread may be fitted, and the tube B¹instead
of being secured over the orifice B in the casing as before described may be formed on
the removable disc C and fit over said orifice when the disc C is in place within the
casing H. The ends of thread from the several reels are carried through separate
eyes formed in the side or other part of the casing a threading slit F1 being by
preference made to extend from each eye F to the open edge of the casing A. By this
means the thread from any one of the reels D may be led to the sewing machine
needle or to the cop winding device without uncovering the reel holder A.
In another modification the reel holder is made of rectangular box form, and the
reels are carried by horizontal rods or pins resting in slots or orifices in the box,
and the ends of the threads are carried towards and through slits or eyes in the end
of the box. Instead of fitting the box on the reel-holding pin on the bracket arm of
the sewing machine, it may be secured thereto by spring clamps on the reel holder.
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:-
The improved reel-holding attachment for sewing machines and the like con-
structed as described and furnished with means for holding it on the reel holding pin
or bracket arm of the machine.
