COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Winch Fittings for all kinds of Fishing Rods.
WILLIAM MARTIN JAMES Criterion Works Redditch Fishing Rod Manu-
facturer 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 (see drawings left with Provisional Specification):-
:-
My invention consists of a metal tube A. (Fig. 1) fitted unto handle or butt of
rod H. (Fig. 1) with a sliding ferrule B. (Fig. 1) struck out and tapered to a given
shape forming a socket sufficiently large to allow of the one end of any ordinary
size reel plate being inserted. Another similarly shaped ferrule is fixed unto the
handle or butt of rod with the open end of Rocket opposite the open end of sliding
socket B (Fig. 1) which slides in an horizontal position along the metal tube A.
fitting (or casing) the handle H. (Fig. 1) and is kept in the required position-
.e. the open ends of sockets exactly opposite each other, by means of an indented
groove F (Fig. 2) travelling or sliding in a similar indentation E. (Fig. 2) thus-
at all times-keeping both the open ends of sockets in their proper position for
inserting the ends of reel plate. The open ends of sockets facing each other are
struck larger than the "back ends" by which the sockets are tapered or shaped (as
required) for the purpose of receiving the ends of any ordinary reel plate and
holding the same perfectly secure to the rod.
An embossed "rib" or "bar" as most convenient can be struck in or attached to
the metal tube or handle H. and an embossed or otherwise shaped groove or channel
struck from the underside of sliding ferrule B and corresponding with the rib or
bar before mentioned can be substituted for the indentations F. and E (Fig. 2) if
necessary, the sliding of ferrule B being identical in each case.

structed to receive tho ends of any ordinary size reel plate and to hold the reel
securely to the rod when in use.
2. That any ordinary size reel can be used with this winch fitting, (being a special
