Improvements in or in connection with Boxes for the Storage
or Winding of Fabrics.
We, JOHN CUXSON and ALFRED WILLIAM GERRARD, trading as Cuxson,
Gerrard & Co., of Fountain Lane, Oldbury, Worecestershire Surgical Dressings
Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
A box (A Fig. 1 & 2) having a roller or spindle B running from end to end
of same, the roller or spindle B Fig. 1 is held firmly in position by means of
pegs C Fig. 1 having enlarged heads, one of such pegs being inserted through
a hole made at each end of the box, where it enters a hole made at each end of
the roller or spindle, B Fig. 1 thus supporting the roller or spindle firmly, at the
same time allowing the roller, or spindle to revolve freely for winding or un-
winding purposes, the enlarged head of the peg C Fig. 1 acting as a handle also
prevents the roller or spindle B Fig. 1 escaping from its bearings.
Further, the roller or spindle B Fig. 2 can be made of such a length as to
extend a short distance at each end outside the box A Fig. 2, in which case,
Prins 71

page_text: either a peg or cap C Fig. 2 may be fixed to both ends of the roller or spindle,
thus preventing it slipping away from the box.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
(1) A box perforated at each end, having a roller or spindle passing from end
to end of same, as Fig. 1 and 2 A box.
(2) The attachment of a roller or spindle to a box by means of pegs fixed into
cavities at the ends of a roller or spindle, so that the heads of the pegs prevent
the roller or spindle from slipping away from the box, as Fig. 1 A box B spindle
C pegs.
(3) The attachment of a roller or spindle to a box by means of caps fixed over
the ends of the roller or spindle and in such a manner that the heads of the caps
prevent the roller or spindle from slipping away from the box as Fig. 2 A box
B spindle C caps.
