PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement or Improvements in Swivels for Fishing and
other Purposes.
SAMUEL BAYLISS Hook Maker 1 Walford Street Redditch Worcestershire
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
I form the swivels from several pieces consisting of an outer sleeve or case made
of brass or other metal-or of any suitable material for the purpose the swivel is
required. In this case or sleeve is inserted duplicate. pieces of metal or other
material grooved lengthwise and crosswise to contain two lengths of wires which
are to form the loops of the swivels. These wires have a head or knob at one end
thereof which will fit or lie in the cross grooves of the duplicate pieces, and the
wire itself will pass through the grooves lengthwise, and then be bent or twisted to
form the loops for attaching the swivels to the articles with which they are to be
used. The outer case is to be closed at each end to fit the wires held by the
duplicate pieces, or a cap pierced to the size of the wires may be placed on one, or
both ends thereof. It will be manifest that when the duplicate pieces have been
inserted-with the knobbed wires within them in the sleeve or case, and the ends
of the case closed by caps or otherwise, that the pieces can not be withdrawn, and an
efficient swivel is completed by the combined pieces.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement or Improvements in Swivels for Fishing and
other Purposes.
I SAMUEL BAYLISS Hook Maker 1 Walford Street Redditch Worcestershire
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:-
I form the swivel from several pieces, consisting of an outer sleeve or case made
of brass or other metal, or of any suitable material for the purpose the swivel is
required. In this case or sleeve I insert duplicate pieces of metal or other material,
grooved longitudinally and across, to contain two lengths of wires which are to
form the loops of the swivel. These wires have a head or knob at one end thereof,
which will fit or lie in the cross grooves of the dupliate pieces; the wires will
pass along the longitudinal grooves and then be bent or twisted to form the loops
for attaching the swivel to the article, or articles, with which it is to be used. The
case or sleeve is closed at each end to fit the wires held by the dupliate pieces; or
a cap pierced to the size of the wires may be placed on one or both ends thereof.
It will be manifest that when the dupliate pieces, with the knobbed wires within
them, have been placed in the sleeve or case, and the ends of the case closed by
caps or otherwise, these pieces cannot be withdrawn. To enable others to form
swivels under this invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings
forming part of this Specification, in which the parts are shown on an enlarged
scale that the same may be easily understood.
Fig. 1 shows the headed wires A. A, which may be of any suitable size or
material as required.
Fig. 2 represents duplicate pieces B. B, having cross grooves, and shallower
longitudinal grooves.

page_text: Fig. 3 represents one of the duplicate pieces B, having two headed wires A, A,
in position to receive the other B part. It is not necessary that the groove X be
made to pass to the outside of B as herein shown. If the cross groves X be of
sufficient space to allow the heads of A A to lie and revolve therein, all requirements
will be met.
Fig. 4 shows a case C open at one end, and at the other pierced at C¹ for the
headed wire A.
Fig. 5 represents the dupliate pieces B B, containing the headed wires A A,
partly inserted in the case C..
Fig. 6 shows a swivel completed by the combined parts exhibited by Figures 1, 2,
3, 4 and 5. It will be seen that the end of the case C, represented open in
Figs. 4 and 5, has been closed to hold in the duplicate pieces B. B. containing the
headed wires A, A, which wires are now shown formed into loops.
Fig. 7 represents the case C closed at one end by a cap D, which cap may be of
any desired shape.
I have not represented a sleeve with a cap on each end, or shown one with each
end closed on B. B, as the methods will be obvious from the cap D in Figure 7,
and the closed end in Fig. 6. Nor is it necessary to say the number of times the
several parts would require to be annealed &c. in the process of manufacture, as
that would be well known by any skilled workman. Nor do I bind myself to the
methods herein shown, as they may be varied without departing from the nature of
my invention, but,
Having now described the essential parts of this, my invention, and in what
manner the same may be performed, what I claim is,
The method of forming a swivel in which dupliate pieces holding headed wires
formed into loops or other shaped ends are held in a case, or sleeve, as herein
substantially described and set forth.
