  • CONE SPOOL MOUNTING ADAPTER FOR A SEWING MACHINE

    Abstract: An adapter for mounting a cone spool on the spool pin of a regular home type sewing machine. The adapter has a truncated conical upper end portion that inserts into the lower open end of a cone type spool. There is an aperture in the body that slip fits onto the vertical pin on the sewing machine and a second aperture offset from the axis of the adapter to slip fit onto a horizontal spool pin of sewing machines so equipped. A slender rod like member is mounted on and projects upwardly from the adapter and terminates in an eyelet to guide the thread as it leaves the spool.
