I, WILLIAM SMALLWOOD, trading as John Smallwood and Co, of the Lion
Works, Redditch, in the County of Worcester, Fishing Tackle Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows. -
This invention relates as hereinafter described to improvements in tackle-
boxes for anglers and consists essentially of a device arranged to carry angleıs'
requisites
In carrying my invention into effect, 1 make from celluloid, cardboard, oi
sheet metal a device consisting of two cup-shaped receptacles arranged to fit
one inside the other so as to form a box, the top and bottom being extended
in the form of two elongated flanges
The arrangement is such that when the box parts are together
one inside
the other, the exterior forms a reel round which the fishing-line is wound The
box portion of the device forms a receptacle for hooks, shot, float-caps and
the like
I provide the centre of one of the said flanges, that is to say the top of the
box with a blank of talc, celluloid, or other transparent material, to enable the
contents of the box being seen without the necessity of opening the same
I may in some cases make the centre of the top and bottom of the box concave,
so as to enable the device being held between the thumb and finger, whereby
the same may be rotated and the fish-line wound or unwound readily thereon
or therefrom
The said device is made of a suitable size to fit the angler's waistcoat-pocket
and may be made of a circular, square, or any other geometrical shape

page_text: boxes for anglers and consists essentially of a device arranged to carry angler's
requisites.
In cariying my invention into effect, I make from celluloid, cardboard, or
sheet metal a device consisting of two cup-shaped receptacles, arranged to fit
one inside the other so as to form a box, "the top and bottom being extended
in the form of two elongated flanges The arrangement is such that when the
box parts are together 1. one inside the other, the exterior forms a reel round
which the fishing line is wound The box portion of the device forms a receptacle
for hooks, shot, float-caps and the like.
I
I provide the centre of one of the said flanges that is to say the top of the
box with a blank of talc celluloid, or other transparent material to enable the
contents of the box being seen, without the necessity of opening the same.
may in some cases make the centre of the top and bottom of the box concave,
so as to enable the device being held between the thumb and finger, whereby
the same may be rotated and the fish line wound or unwound readily thereon
or therefrom
The said device is made of a suitable size to fit the angler's waistcoat-pocket
and may be made of a circular, square, or any other geometrical shape.
My invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the accom-
panying drawings, the came letters of reference indicating similar parts
throughout
Figure 1 shows a front and side elevation, and Figure 2 a vertical section of
my invention
Figures 3, 4 and 7, are detail parts of the same Figure 5 18 a front and side
elevation Figure 6 18 a front elevation of a modification of my invention
A represents a cup-shaped receptacle arranged to fit inside the receptacle B
both being provided with the flanges D and D2 E as a transparent centre, to
enable the contents which consist of hooks, shot, float-caps and the like being
seen. The box-like receptacle D and D2, forms a reel for the fishing line F
In the arrangement shown at Figure 5, the device is made circular instead
of square, at Figure 6 it is made of a triangular shape, such shapes being varied
according to taste Figure 7 shows the box with a concave centre, to enable
the same being held between the thumb and finger, thus causing the fish-line
to be wound or unwound more readily
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim 18-
