PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Winch Fittings for Fishing Rods.
We, JAMES FOSTER and THOMAS FOSTER of 39 Kent Street, Bolton in the County
of Lancaster, Spindle Makers, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to
be as follows:
This invention relates to improvements in winch fittings for fishing rods and
consists in providing means whereby various kinds of winches can be more readily
and effectively attached to fishing rods than hitherto. On the fishing rod is fixed
a tube provided with a slide and a recess to receive the plate or its equivalent on
which the winch is mounted. In the slide is mounted a slide bar with an end
forming a recess or cavity to receive one end of the winch plate or its equivalent.
On the slide bar is fixed a pin or centre which sits or fits in a helical slot in a
cap mounted on the fixed tube. When the winch is placed in position on the
fixed tube on the fishing rod the cap with the helical slot is rotated until the
plate or its equivalent carrying the winch is firmly gripped, after which the cap
can be locked in position by a sliding bar or pin on a ring being pushed into a
notch on one end of the cap.

Improvements in Winch Fittings for Fishing Rods.
We, JAMES FOSTER and THOMAS FOSTER of 39 Kent Street Bolton in the County
of Lancaster, Spindle Makers, do hereby declare the nature of our said 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 winch fittings for fishing rods and consists
in providing means whereby various kinds of winches can be more readily and
effectively attached to fishing rods than hitherto. On the fishing rod is fixed a tube
provided with a slide and a recess to receive the plate or its equivalent on which the
winch is mounted. In the slide is mounted a slide bar with an end forming a recess
or cavity to receive one end of the winch plate or its equivalent. On the slide bar is
fixed a pin or centre which sits or fits in a helical slot in a cap mounted on the fixed
tube. When the winch is placed in position on the fixed tube on the fishing rod the
cap with the helical slot is rotated until the plate or its equivalent carrying the winch
is firmly gripped, after which the cap can be locked in position by a sliding bar or pin
on a ring being pushed into a notch on one end of the cap.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of our improved winch fittings-Fig. 2 is an outside
front elevation-Fig. 3 is a section through line A¹ B'-Fig. 4 is a part outside
elevation with the operating cap or thimble removed-Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation
of the operating cap or thimble, and Fig. 6 is a plan of same.
On the fishing rod A is fixed the tube B provided at its upper end with the
recess or cavity C to receive one end of the plate P or its equivalent on which
the winch S is mounted. The lower end of the tube B is provided with the
slides Din which is mounted the slide bar E with the recess or cavity F to
receive one end of the plate P or its equivalent on which the winch S is mounted.
The slide bar E is fitted with the pin G which sits or fits in the helical slot H
in the operating cap or thimble I mounted on the lower end of the fixed tube B.
The cap or thimble I is mounted loosely between the rings V and W, the latter

being secured to the tube B in any convenient manner. By turning or rotating
the cap or thimble I on the fixed tube B the slide bar E is raised or lowered by
the pin G in the helical slot H, by which the distance between the recesses
cavities and F can be altered to suit the length of the plate P or its equivalent
on which the winch S is mounted. After the plate P or its equivalent carrying
the winch S has been firmly gripped between the recesses or cavities C and f
the slide bar E can be locked in position by pressing the sliding bar M into one
of the slots or recesses in the end of the cap or thimble I. If desired tho
locking apparatus can be dispensed with.
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
The use construction and arrangement of parts forming our improved adjustable
winch fitting for fishing rods, consisting of the tube B with the recess or cavity C,
slides D, slide bar E with the recess or cavity F, pin G, cap or thimble I with the
helical slot H, with or without the locking arrangement substantially as described and
as shown on the drawings or any mere modification thereof.
