  • Patent number: 6776283
    Abstract: A case for storing and displaying spools of thread is disclosed. The case comprises two trays preferably connected by a plurality of hinges. Inside each tray are elongate spines that extend longitudinally. Pins connected to the spine extend in a direction perpendicular to the spines. Spools are placed on the pins when stored. The pins are sized to provide a friction fit with the hollow inside portion of the spools. A tab is connected to each pin. When the tab is depressed, the pin is raised, allowing easy access to the desired spool. The pins are connected to the spine by a resilient U-shaped joint. The entire case is preferably made of transparent plastic material, such as polypropylene.
