PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Non-slipping Splice for Fishing Rods, Golf Club Handles, and
other like Articles.
I, ALEXANDER GRANT, of 7 Baron Taylor's Lane, in the Town and County of
Inverness, North Britain, Fishing Rod and Tackle Maker, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to a non-slipping splice for fishing rods, golf club handles,
and other like articles, and has for its object to provide a splice which wont slip
and which whether tied or untied is stronger than the ordinary splice and it is
easier fitted & tied.
In constructing the splice, preparation is made for it from the commencement of
the work. The wood is first squared, the part for the splice made with an upward
or downward slope as the case may be, then the shaft or handle is rounded off to
the inner end of splice leaving the part to be spliced square or flat. The splices
are then shaped & made. To make a splice of the same pattern but not so
complete in details, the wood is rounded altogether making the part to be spliced
with a bend upwards or downwards, as before, but it cannot fit accurately as the
shoulders will be wanting at the inner end of the splice. These shoulders are
taken away by the rounding of the stick at the beginning.
The splices are sloped against each other so that the rod or other article made
will come out straight at each end of the splice, or in other words the connection
is running direct.
All vibrating articles naturally made may be balanced before the splice is
interfered with.

A Non-slipping Splice for Fishing Rods, Golf Club Handles, and
other like Articles.
I, ALEXANDER GRANT, of 7 Baron Taylor's Lane, in the Town and County of
Inverness, North Britain Fishing Rod and Tackle Maker, 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 :-
This invention relates to a non-slipping splice for fishing rods, golf club handles,
and other like articles, and has for its object to provide a splice which will not slip
and which whether tied or untied is stronger than the ordinary splice, and also a
splice which can be fitted and tied much easier than hitherto.
In carrying out my said invention as illustrated in elevation Figure 1 and
sectional under plan Figure 2, of the accompanying drawings, I construct the
splice in the following manner :-The wood is first squared, then the parts to be
joined are made with an upward or downward slope bend or half splice (as the

page_text: case may be so as to ensure of the centres being in line and so secure direct
action; then the shaft or handle is rounded off to the inner end of the splices A, A¹,
so as to form shoulders a, a, leaving the part to be spliced square or flat. The
splices or flat portions are then secured together by tying or otherwise, so as to
construct a very efficient non-slipping splice.
As a modification I may round the wood of the handle altogether making the
part to be spliced with a bend upwards or downwards, as before, but this form
facks the power and does not fit so accurately when the shoulders are wanting at
the inner end of the splice. These shoulders are taken away by the rounding of
the stick at the beginning.
It will be seen that on the sloped or flat portions A, A', being placed against
each other, the rod or other article made will come out straight at each end of the
splice, as shewn, or in other words the connection is running direct.
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 arrangement and construction of the non-slipping splice, for fishing rods and
the like, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and shewn in
the accompanying drawings.
