A reel or holder under our invention consists essentially of a hollow metallic
spindle having end wings or arms at about right angles to the longitudinal axis of
the spindle. The whole being one piece of metal.
Reels or holders are made under our invention from sheet or other metal shaped
so as to form a tube, and cut or divided at the ends so as to form pieces which are
bent down at right augles or thereabouts to the body of the metal, so as to form
arms or wings. The ends of the said arms or wings may be connected by wires or

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and in the Manufacture of Reels or Holders for
Barbed Wire and the like.
EDWIN WOODS of the Longford Wire Works Warrington, in the County of
Lancaster Wire Manufacturers, for myself and on behalf of the late George Woods,
for whom I am executor 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 :-
The object is to provide cheap and durable reels or holders more especially for
containing barbed wire and the like so made as to facilitate handling, protect the
contents from injury, and occupy reduced space.
A reel or holder under our invention consists essentially of a hollow metallic
spindle a Figure 1 of the accompanying sheet of drawings, having end wings or
arms b at about right angles to the longitudinal axis of the spindle a.
After the
barbed wire is coiled on the spindle the ends of the said wings or arms 6 may
be connected by wires c or their equivalent to prevent the barbed wire from
uncoiling.
Reels or holders are made under our invention from sheet or other metal shaped
so as to form a tube d see Figure 2 of the accompanying sheet of drawings, and such
tube is cut or divided at the ends by saws or other suitable tools so as to form
pieces e which are bent as shown at 6 in Figure 1 at right angles or thereabouts to
the body of the metal so as to form arms or wings. The metal may be operated on
either in the cold or heated condition and instead of four wings at each end, three,
five, or other desired number may be formed.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
First. Reels or holders for barbed wire and the like consisting of a hollow spindle
having at the ends wing or arms at or about right angles thereto.
Second. Reels or holders for barbed wire or the like consisting of a hollow spindle
having wings or arms at the ends connected by wires or equivalent devices.
Third. Constructing reels or holders for barbed wire and the like by forming a
tube of metal, cutting or dividing the ends longitudinally into pieces and bending
down the pieces to form arms or wings.
