PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Winch Grip Holder for Fishing Rods.
I, FREDERICK ADRIAN TAGLIAFerro, of 16 St. Helen's Place, London, E.C.,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This my invention relates to a device for holding winch grips on fishing rods,
and has for its object the provision of a means whereby the use of india rubber
rings as at present adopted, may be entirely dispensed with, and a portable grip
provided which can be easily and securely fixed on the fishing rod in cases where
fishing rods are not properly winch fitted, or where other joints than the bottom
fitted one are used.
In order to carry out this my invention I provide a sleeve of sheet iron, steel,
brass or any convenient metal or material, and of convenient length, male to fit
the curve of the circumference of the rod and provided with armas bent round to
the diameter of the rod, so that when it is slipped over the rod it shall fit said
rod firmly and securely.
From the plate of this sleeve, I cut two or more tongues of semicircular or
other convenient shape, so as to form clips, said clips pointing alternately in
opposite directions across the diameter of the rod.
.
In order to fix the winch grip, I insert the plate or lug of said winch grip
between the sleeve and the tongue clips aforesaid, which tongues are slightly raised
from the sleeve, so that they tightly grip the lug of the winch grip and hold it
firmly in place on the rod.

I, FREDERICK ADRIAN TAGLIAFERRO, of 16 St. Helen's Place, London, E.C.,
Merchant, 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 my invention relates to a device for holding winch grips on fishing rods,
and has for its object the provision of a means whereby the use of india rubber
rings as at present adopted, may be entirely dispensed with, and a portable grip
provided which can be easily and securely fixed on the fishing rod in cases where
fishing rods are not properly winch fitted, or where other joints than the bottom
fitted one are used.
In order to carry out this my invention I provide a sleeve of sheet iron, steel,
brass or any convenient metal or material, and of convenient length, made to fit
the curve of the circumference of the rod and provided with an arm or arms bent
round to the diameter of the rod, so that when it is slipped over the rod it shall fit.
said rod firmly and securely.

page_text: From the plate of this sleeve I cut two or more tongues of semicircular or other
convenient shape, so as to form clips, said clips pointing either alternately or in
pairs in opposite directions across the diameter of the rod.
In order to fix the winch grip, 1 insert the plate or lug of said winch grip
between the sleeve and the tongue clips aforesaid, which tongues are slightly raised
from the sleeve, so that they tightly grip the lug of the winch grip and hold it
firmly in place on the rod.
I also provide one or more small tongues, for the purpose of exerting a yielding
pressure against the winch grip plate when in position and keeping it more firmly
fixed in place, by cutting out portions of the sleeve plate, as may be required in
such a way that small square or other convenient shaped pieces of the plate may
be pressed back from the surface, so as to form a spring lug or lugs that shall bear
against the plate of the winch grip.
In order that my invention may be readily understood I will describe the same
with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a general view of the winch grip holder, Fig. 2 shows the same
with the winch grip fitted in,
Fig. 3 is a plan of the winch grip plate, and
Fig. 4 represents a modification showing the tongue clips in alternate positions,
as herein before mentioned.
The same letters refer to the same parts in the several views, A being the sleeve
or holder made of any suitable metal, B B are arms or plates formed from the
said sleeve and bent round to tightly fit the diameter and taper of the fishing rod,
CC are the tongues or clips, also formed from the sleeve or holder plate and bent
over, so as to form clips, either in pairs as shown in Fig. 1, or alternately as
shown in Fig. 4. D D are the small tongues aforesaid, cut out of the plate on
three sides and bent back so as to form springs to bear against the plate of the
winch grip. E represents a winch grip with its plate or lug F fitted in position
between the clips C and the plate A, fixed on the fishing rod G.
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 :
1. A sleeve or holder adapted to be easily and securely fixed on fishing rods,
for attaching and holding winch grips, substantially as and for the purpose herein
set forth and described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. The application of this invention or any part thereof to any form or kind of
fishing rod and the like, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and
described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 1st day of July 1896.
