Thread and bobbin storage case for existing sewing machine cabinets

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to FIG.
1, the sewing accessory storage case C includes, in general a supporting frame 20 and a vertically mounted, sliding drawer 30.
The outer casing or supporting frame 20 includes a front wall 22 and a rear wall 22' and a pair of side walls 24.
In addition to supporting the drawer 30 the surrounding walls of frame 20 protect the thread and other accessories stored in the drawer from environmental elements as dust, moisture etc.
A trackway or groove 58 extends longitudinally of and along the inner surface of each side wall 24, and terminates at a point spaced from the upper end thereof.
Groove 58 is a depression which extends only partially through the thickness of each side wall and only partially of the vertical dimension of each side wall.
Attached to and extending forwardly at right angles from the front edges of each side wall 24 are one or more tubular spacers 26 which are used for mounting the frame onto the machine cabinet by means of screws 28 which extend through cooperating openings in side walls 24, spacers 26, and into or through the wall of the machine cabinet.
The drawer 30 is of such a size that it will fit snugly, but slidably within the supporting frame 20.
The drawer 30 includes a top wall 32, a bottom wall 34, and a pair of opposing side walls 36.
Additionally, one or more partitions 38,38' are mounted between the side walls 36.
Attached to the bottom wall 34 and intermediate partitions 38,38' are upright spindles 40 which hold the thread and bobbins in place in the drawer.
It should be noted that the partition 38 is slanted upwardly from front to rear and that the spindles 40' on this partition are shorter than the spindles 40 on partition 38' and the bottom wall 34.
The partition 38 is slanted and the spindles 40 are made shorter specifically for holding bobbins which are conventionally a shorter spool than those upon which sewing threads are sold and stored.
Therefore it is not necessary to have the spindles as long as those which are designated to hold threads and the slanted partition facilitate access for the fingers between the partitions 38 and the top wall 32
