PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Rings for Fishing Rods and the like.
CHARLES COURT Manufacturer Plymouth Works Redditch Worcestershire
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The object of my invention is to prevent the line from rubbing and fraying the
binding as on the now frequently employed rings on fishing-rods, and to alleviate
the binding by substituting teeth or claws which are inserted into the rod slantwise
to each other, thereby obtaining a firm grip in the rod and holding itself more
secure than the ordinary binding.
I also claim this mode of attaching for other fishing rod-rings.
For this purpose I construct two steel wires with flat points each at one end
(Fig. 3c), the opposite ends are then formed each into a ring according to size
required, which are then cranked back to a suitable angle (Fig. 2-a) to the
required size for any rod, they are then brazed together at the top of the rings
making a perfect joint, see Fig. 1-b.
The flatted points are now turned down to opposite angles slantwise to each other
forming teeth or claws, for obtaining a firmer grip in the rod, holding itself more
secure, see Figure 1-g.

The object of my invention is to prevent the line from rubbing and fraying the
binding as on the now frequently employed rings on fishing rods and to alleviate the
binding by substituting teeth or claws which are inserted into the rod slantwise to
each other thereby obtaining a firm grip in the rod and holding itself more secure
than the ordinary binding.
I also claim this mode of attaching for other fishing-rod rings.
For this purpose I construct two steel wires with flat points each at one end
(Fig. 3. c.) the opposite ends are then formed each into a ring according to size
required which are then cranked back to a suitable angle (Fig. 2. a) to the required
size for any rod, they are then brazed together at the top of the rings making a
perfect joint (see Fig. 1. 6).
The flatted points are now turned down to opposite angles slantwise to each other
forming teeth or claws for obtaining a firmer grip in the rod, holding itself more
secure (see Fig. 1).
