A SELF WINDING FISHING REEL
Year: 1884

page_text: JOSEPH MARWOOD N° 141 St Sepulchire Gate Doncaster Yorkshire Watchmaker
& Jeweller do hereby declare the nature of my invention for A SELF WINDING
FISHING REEL to be as follows:-
1st The barrel is completely boxed in, consequently the whole of the motion is
hidden, there is a small slut cut across to allow the line to run in or out.
2nd The self winding motion is got by means of 2 wheels & 2 pinions and a
coiled spring, the first motion wheel is fast on the coiled spring shaft gearing into
a pinion fast on the second motion wheel, which wheel gears into a pinion which is
fast on barrel-it is held out of gear by a catch which is worked by a swell knob
which is lifted up to set the barrel in motion, and pressed down to stop the motion,
the knob pressed down drops a catch which holds pinion that is fast on barrel.
3rd The line being thrown out winds up the coiled spring, ready for self
winding in.
4th The motion can be retarded if necessary by means of a spring which can be
pressed on the side of the barrel by a knob which comes through case.
5th A further improvement in my reel, is the edge of the barrel being bevelled
& made a close fit into case, the edges of which are also bevelled, the 2 bevelled
edges fitting closely together, the line cannot possibly run over the edges thereby
preventing great inconvenience to fishermen, which is a vital point that I wish
to claim.

page_text: JOSEPH MARWOOD Watch & Clock Maker, Jeweller &c 141 St Sepulchre Gate
Doncaster Yorkshire I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for A SELF
WINDING FISHING REEL and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
A Self Winding Fishing Reel.
1st The barrel is completely boxed in consequently the whole of the motion is
hidden, there is a small slot marked A cut across to allow the line to run in or
out freely.
2ndly The self winding motion is got by two wheels and two pinions, and a coiled
spring. The first motion wheel B is fast on the coiled spring shaft, gearing into
the pinion C fast on the side of the second motion wheel D which wheel gears into
the pinion E that is fast on the Barrel L It is locked by the catch F which is
worked by the small knob G which is lifted up to set the barrel in motion, the
knob pressed down locks the pinion E that is fast on the barrel.
3rd The line being thrown (or drawn) out winds up the coiled spring H ready
for winding in.
4th The motion can be retarded if necessary by means of the Spring Brake I
which can be pressed on the side of the barrel by the means, of the knob J which
comes through the case.
5th A further improvement in my Reel is, the edges of the Barrel being bevelled
at point K and made a close fit into the case, the edges of which are likewise
bevelled, the two bevelled edges fitting closely together the line cannot therefore
possibly run over the edges.
"
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is-
1st The Boxing in of the Reel so as to hide the motion, and prevent the line from
getting entangled upon the ground or around the legs whilst in use-as is the case
with open Reels.
2ndly The self winding motion by a chain of wheels as applied to my Fishing
Reel and which being completely boxed in prevents entanglement with the works.
3rd The double bevelled edges of the Reel and case preventing the line running
over the edges, thereby preventing great inconvenience to Fishermen.
