PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Boards used for Winding or Holding Cords or
Bands of any Flexible Material.
JOHN HENRY ABEL 43 Vicarage Lane Stratford London E. Joiner do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to faciliate the placing on boards or taking off
boards, hanks or coils of cord or other flexible materials without necessitating
unwinding or rewinding.
My improvement consists in the boards been made in two or more parts & so
hinged together that they may be folded or extended in line as required.
Means may also be provided for securing the parts in line so as to form one straight“
board.
My object in. forming the boards as described is so that they may be folded &
inserted within the hank or coil of material that it is required to place on boards &
afterwards extending in line thereby holding the cord or whatever is placed upon
boards as securely as if it had been wound upon an unhinged board, thus avoiding
the usual process of unwinding & rewinding. The boards can be used if desired for
the origional winding of cords &c.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Boards used for Winding or Holding Cords or
Bands of any Flexible Material.
JOHN HENRY ABEL 43 Vicarage Lane Stratford London E. 'Joiner 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:-
The object of this invention is to faciliate the placing on boards, or taking off
boards, hanks or coils of cord or other flexible material, without necessitating
unwinding, or rewinding.
My improvements consist in the boards been made in two or more parts, (preferably
joined together by means of an hinge or other suitable arrangements), so that they
may be folded or extended in line as required.
Means may also be provided for securing the parts in line, so as to form one straight
board.
My object in forming the boards as described, is that they may be folded and
inserted within the bank or coil of material, that it is required to place on boards,
and afterwards extending in line, thereby holding the cord, or whatever is placed on
boards, as securely as if it had been wound upon an unhinged board, thus avoiding
the usual process of unwinding and rewinding.
If desired the boards, can be used for the origional winding of cord &c. &c.,
any material so wound can be taken off or replaced on again without having to
unwind or rewind.
The boards can be made of wood, metal, or any suitable materials, & if desirable in
a skeleton form.
In order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I proceed to further
describe the same by reference to the accompanying Drawings.
