PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION,
A New or Improved Device for Holding the Lengths of Cane used
for Weaving, under the Kindergarten System, in Schools or the
like.
I, GEORGE HORIDE, of 102 Buxton Road, Stratford, London, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a new or improved device for holding the lengths of
cane used for weaving under the Kindergarten system, in schools, or other places,
and has for its object to provide a device around which the cane may be wound to
prevent it from becoming entangled, while the device with the cane be immersed
in water, (which is now the custom) in any suitable receptacle and the required
length of cane unwound from the device as it is used, thus preventing the cane
from getting entangled, which now frequently occurs when a number of children
are working closely together.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, I form the device of a short
length of tubing which is furnished with two slots at each end, the said slots being
in pairs and diametrically opposite. Into these slots are let two short lengths of
wire, one at each end of the tubing, the two ends of the one wire being slightly bent
inwards towards the two ends of the other wire which are also bent inwards until
they nearly touch, thus forming a spring clip at each end, between which the cane
is sprung, while it is contained around the tubing and between the aforesaid wires
from which it may be unwound as required, the bulk of the cane. with the device
being allowed to remain under water until again required for use.
The device may be further strengthened by soldering a cross piece of metal within
the tubing if required, while a small hole is formed in the said tubing through
which the end of the cane is passed when commencing winding.

I, GEORGE HORIDE of Buxtou Road, Stratford London, Gentleman, 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 :-
My invention relates to a new or improved device for holding the lengths of

The device may be further strengthened by soldering a cross piece of metal
within the tubing if required, while one or more small holes are formed in the said
tubing through which the end of the cane is passed when commencing winding.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a
side view of my improved device, Fig. 2 a plan of same, Fig. 3 an end view and
Fig. 4 a central section through tube.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several
views.

My improved device consists of the tube t furnished with two slots at each
end e, e', into which are let two lengths of wire w, w¹, one at each end of the tube,
the two ends of the wire wo being bent slightly inwards, while the two ends of the
wire ware similarly bent until the said ends of the wires w and w¹ touch or nearly
so, thus forming a spring clip at each side of the tube t between which the cane is
sprung or wound, and contained around the tube t between the aforesaid wires
and two holes or perforations are provided, through one of which the end of the
length of cane to be wound is passed, in order to hold it securely in position while
commencing winding and a cross-piece c, soldered or secured in any suitable manner
to the wire w, w³, may be employed for additional strength.
W,
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The new or improved device for holding the lengths of cane used for weaving,
under the Kindergarten system, in schools or the like, consisting of the tube t, holes
or perforations h, wires wr, w¹, forming the spring clip at each side of the tube t,
with or without the strengthening cross-piece c substantially as described, and
shown in the accompanying drawings.
