3 Claims.
This invention relates to darning devices and more particularly to yarn or thread holders used with sewing machines for the purpose of repairing holes in table cloths, blankets and other Woven material.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a yarn holder for use in darning into which threads may be easily inserted in parallel relation, and held over the opening in the material to be darned so that the threads may be stitched to the material by the sewing machine stitchforming instrumentalities and which, after the inserted thread has been sewed to the body material, may be quickly and easily withdrawn from the threads so that the darning operation may be completed.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved yarn or thread holder which has a Wide application and range of usefulness, and which is simple, easy to manufacture and low in cost.
With the above and other objects in view, as will hereinafter appear, the invention comprises the devices, combinations, and arrangements of parts hereinafter set forth and illustrated in the accompanying drawing of a preferred embodiment of the invention, from which the several features of the invention and the advantages attained thereby will be readily understood by those skilled in the art.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the device showing it being used with the ordinary household sewing machine.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the thread holder.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation and Fig. 4 is a disassembled perspective view of the holder.
In the embodiment of the invention selected for illustration my improved yarn or thread holder comprises a forked base member formed from sheet-metal and having two outwardly extending arms or tines l0, II and a connecting bar l2 formed with an upwardly inclined lip l3 by which the device may be held.
overlying the body member and fixed thereto by the screws I 4 is a second forked member l5 having resilient arms or tines l6 and. I! with their free ends l8 and I9 bent upwardly to form with the base-member a mouth to receive the threads to be inserted.
My improved darning device is used in the following manner: preferably threads indicated generally as T in the drawing, are pulled from the body material which is to be repaired and pulled under the spring fingers or tines l6 and H so that they lie in spaced paralleled relation with the distance between each thread about equal to the distance between the woof threads of the body material. It will be understood that by using threads pulled from the material the color is perfectly matched and any fading or other color variation is automatically taken care of. After the holder has been prepared by placing therein as many threads as are necessary, the material to be repaired is placed in a darning ring 20 as shown in Fig. l. The darning ring is then placed on the work plate 2| of an ordinary household sewing machine and the yarn or thread holder with the threads therein is placed over the hole to be darned. The machine is then operated;v the presser foot having been removed. The darning ring and holder are moved by hand back-and-forth so that the threads in the holder are stitched to the marginal edge of the hole by lines of stitching which run at right angles to the length of the threads. It will be understood that the thread used for the needle and bobbin correspond in color and texture to the thread in the holder, and as the thread in the holder is aligned as closely as possible with the Woof threads of the material and the line of stitches being at right angles thereto, the thread in the holder blends in with the woof threads of the material and the lines of stitches blend in with the warp threads thereby closely simulating the material.
After the sewing operation has been completed the holder is grasped by the lip I 3 and pulled towards the operator thereby releasing the ends of the threads. These threads may then be out 01f with a pair of scissors and sewed down, or in certain types of darning, such for instance as socks, the loose ends of thread may be left to form a pad.
The above described holder is particularly adapted for use with threads drawn from the material to be repaired. However, it is obvious that thread from a spool or any other type of thread may be inserted in the holder.
From the foregoing description considered in connection with the accompanying drawing, the construction, manner of operation and several advantages of my improved thread holder will be clearly and fully understood. It is apparent that such a device has a wide variety of uses, and it will be understood that the form, construction and arrangement of elements employed may be varied. Therefore, the privilege is reserved of resorting to all such legitimate changes therein as may be fairly embodied within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
Having thus set forth the nature of the invention, what I claim herein is:
1. A thread holder for use in darning on a sewing machine having a flat work-supporting surface comprising a flat forked shaped base member having a handle located entirely on one side thereof, and a second forked member made of resilient material and superimposed upon said base member and secured thereto only at its closed end, whereby threads may be inserted in parallel relation between the members and be resiliently held therein.
2. A thread holder for use in darning on a sewing machine having a work-supporting plate comprising a forked base member having a planar under-surface adapted to rest upon the surface second forked member superimposed upon said base member, and having the free ends of its tines bent upwardly and away from said base member to form mouths located at the free ends of the tines, said members being resiliently urged toward one another.
3. A thread holder for use in darning comprising a U-shaped base member having a planar under-surface and a handle disposed in its entirety at the upper side of the plane of said under-surface and superposed resilient tines overlapping the legs of the base member and to be darned and a secured thereto by means disposed on the upper side of said plane.
OTTO MYSLIK.
