IMPROVEMENTS IN FISHING REELS
Year: 1885

page_text: I SAMUEL ALLCOCK, trading as S. Allcock & Co Standard Works Redditch in the
county of Worcester, Fishing Tackle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of
my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN FISHING REELS to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to manufacture a Fishing Reel out of one piece of
metal instead of using several pieces, which, in the ordinary method of manufacture,
are fastened together by pins and screws to form the reel.
The novelty in this invention is: that the two side plates and the bottom plate
of the reel are struck out of one flat piece of metal by suitable dies into the required
shape, the necessary holes and grooves being punched out at the same time, and all
being one piece of metal.. The recesses in the side plates for the spool to run in are
then bored out by a suitable tool.
The two side plates are then struck up into a position parallel to each other, and
at right angles with the bottom plate, so as to form the sides of the reel, and the
reel is then finished in the ordinary manner.
In the drawings forwarded with this specification Fig. 1 represents a piece of
sheet brass, or other metal, after being cut out by suitable dies into the required
shape to make side plates and bottom plate D in one piece.
Fig. 2 represents the side plates and bottom plate with the inner side of side
plates recessed at K for spool to run in.
Fig. 3 shews the two side plates struck up into proper position to form the sides
of reel.
Fig. 4 gives sectional view of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 shews spool of reel, the sides of which G, G, run in the recess of the side
plates at K K, shewn in Fig. 3.
Fig. 6 shews one of the bars used for putting the reel together.
Fig. 7 shews the reel when finished or put together

I, SAMUEL ALLCOCK trading as S. Allcock & Co Standard Works, Redditch in the
county of Worcester Fishing Tackle Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of
my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN FISHING REELS. and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to manufacture a Fishing Reel out of one piece of
metal instead of using several pieces, which, in the ordinary method of manufacture,
are fastened together by pins and screws to form the reel.
The novelty in this invention is that the two side plates and the bottom plate
of the reel are struck out of one flat piece of metal by suitable dies into the required
shape, the necessary holes and grooves being punched out at the same time.
The recesses in the side plate for the spool to run in are then bored out by a
Buitable tool.
The two side plates are then struck-up into a position parallel to each other and
at right angles with the bottom plate, so as to form the sides of the reel, and the
reel is then finished in the ordinary manner.
Figures 1 to 7 hereinafter referred to are those filed with provisional specification
No 11908 dated October 7th 1885 and of which we now send copies.
'Figure 1" represents a piece of sheet brass, or other metal, after being cut out
by suitable dies into the required shape to make side plates and bottom plate "D"
in one piece.

"Figure 7" shews the reel when finished or put together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what
I claim is
1. The original invention of a Fishing Reel in which the two side plates and the
bottom plate are manufactured and formed out of one solid piece of metal in con-
tradistinction to the old method of manufacturing from several pieces of metal to
form the sides and bottom plate and which are fastened or held together by means
of rivets or screws.
2. That the reel being formed of one solid piece of metal is rendered much
stronger and not liable to become loose and out of order as in the old method of
manufacture.
