COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Reels or Winches for
Angling Purposes.
I, JOSEPH LANDER, of The Crown Hotel Prospect Hill Redditch, in the
County of Worcester, Hotel Proprietor, 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in reels or winches for angling purposes
and consists essentially in constructing the aforesaid articles in such a manner
that the weight thereof is much reduced and the reel or winch so arranged that it
may be manipulated in an expeditious manner.
will proceed to explain the way and manner in which the same is carried into
effect, by means of the accompanying drawings, similar letters of reference
indicating similar parts throughout.
Figure 1 shows a side elevation,
Figure 2 an end elevation, and
Figure 3 a sectional end elevation.
The reel or winch A is made of cork or light wood turned to the shape shown in
the drawings.
The spindle B which is made of aluminium having a steel centre P, is furnished
with two webs or ribs O, O, shown in section at Figure 34, and passes through
the centre of the reel A, and is countersunk at each end as shown at D, D, the
webs O, O, holding the spindle in position.
Into each of the countersunk ports D, D, two centre pointed adjusting
screws C, C, engage, forming a bearing and supporting the reel or winch A. and
allowing same to rotate freely.
The screwed parts E, E, engaging into the screw sockets F, F, of the frame H,
permits them to be adjusted to any degree.
The frame H supporting the reel or winch A by the centres of the adjusting
screws E, E, is provided with a crosspiece I for attaching the reel to the fishing
rod J by means of the two sliding loops K, K. One side of the frame. H is
furnished with a spring catch or brake L for the purpose of fixing the reel or
winch A in any desired position.
The two wire guide rings M, M, attached to the frame H by the screws N, N,
are for the purpose of keeping the fishing line on the reel or winch A and thus
preventing any disarrangement of the line."

page_text: The reel or winch when attached to a fishing rod may be manipulated freely by
a slight movement of the hand, no handle being required on account of the
freedom of rotation on the centre pivots.
The spring catch L when brought into action keeps the reel or winch in any
desired position, thus allowing the hands of the angler more freedom.
I make the reel or winch preferably of cork, but
the purpose of reducing the weight thereof.
may use any light wood for
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
(1.) A reel or winch for angling purposes, revolving in a frame attached to the
rod by means of a cross piece and two sliding loops, the reel having a central
spindle with recessed ends into which set screws carried by the frame project, a
spring clip being employed to hold the reel in the desired position, substantially as
and for the purposes specified.
(2.) A reel or winch for angling purposes, having a central spindle B with
blades O, into the recessed ends of which the set screws C project, carried by the
frame H which is also furnished with a spring catch L for holding the reel in any
desired position, and guides M, the frame being attached to the rod J by means of
the cross piece I and the loops K, the whole constructed substantially as described
and shown and for the purposes specified.
