Fishing Tackle Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
:-
This invention applies to fishing reels, particularly of the class known as the
metal back Nottingham pattern. The part of the metal back to which the spindle
of the reel is fixed, is made in the form of a cup, large enough to hold the check.
This obviates the necessity of the back plate and adds to the lightness and
compactness of the reel. A line-guard of the usual pattern extends about a third
of the distance round the reel, just clear of the edges of the drum, with two or
three cross-pieces connecting the two sides of the line-guard. A little pressure of
the thumb on the guard acts as a brake by pressing it against the edges of the
drum. The drum may be removed from the back by a half turn of a small nut,
which, having an eccentric motion, releases itself from a groove in the end of the
spindle.
Drawings will be furnished with Complete Specification.

Improved Fishing Reel.
JAMES WILLIAM YOUNG of Oakley Road Redditch, Reel Maker and
ALFRED WILLIAMS trading as S. Allcock & Co. Standard Works Redditch
Fishing Tackle Manufacturers 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 applies to fishing reels, particularly of the class known as the
metal back Nottingham pattern. It is constructed as follows. The part of the
metal frame to which the spindle of the reel is fixed is made in the form of a hollow
disc large enough to hold the spur-wheel rachet and spring which form the
check of the reel. This hollow disc obviates the necessity of a back plate and
adds to the lightness and compactness of the reel. The line guard extends about
one third of the distance round the reel just clear of the edges of the drum with
two or more cross-pieces connecting the two sides of the line-guard a little pressure
against the line-guard springs it against the edges of the drum and forms a
brake.

page_text: Fig. 3. Metal frame showing hollow disc "E" containing the spring "F" and
rachet "J." "G" is the spindle of the reel. "K" and "K 2" show the
remaining part of the metal frame and line-guard "L" fixed to the reel
plate "M." The part marked " H" in this view in conjunction with the lock
spring "C""Fig. 2" is a common arrangement used to keep the drum in place
on the spindle and is not claimed as part of this invention.

Fig. 4. "E" shows back portion of the frame as Fig. 3, O" is the end of the
spindle "G-Fig. 3" carried through the hollow disc, "N" is the stud for
putting on or taking off the check action.
Fig. 5 is a perspective representation of reel complete, the lettering of the
various parts being the same as already described in Figs. 1. 2. 3. & 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is a fishing reel having:
1st. A metal frame of shape and construction as herein described with a hollow
disc to carry the spindle of the reel and check action.
2nd. A line-guard of shape and construction as herein described, forming a
part of the metal frame, to be used as a brake.
Dated this 19th day of September 1895.
