PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Winding Reels for Hose Pipes and the like.
CHARLES CLIFFORD GOSSAGE Manager 4 Highfield Road Harborne near
Birmingham County of Staffordshire do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My improvement consists in making a reel with flanges to form a barrel on
which the article to be wound is coiled up.
The barrel would be made with an hollow shaft or spindle running through the
centre which is intended to coil hose pipe.
One end of the hose pipe to he wound up, would be attached to a nipple on the
hollow shaft or spindle inside the barrel so that the liquid would run through
the hollow shaft or spindle. At one end of the shaft or spindle would be attached
a branch pipe to convey the liquid in any direction required.
The winding reel with spindle would revolve on bearings built upon a carriage
constructed with two, four, or six wheels which would run upon the ground.
One or more of these wheels would be connected with chain gear wheel or
wheels.
The spindle of the winding reel would also have chain wheel or wheels fitted
loose and connected with the gear wheel or wheels running near the ground with
steel chain or other like article.
The chain gear wheel or wheels would be so arranged upon the spindle of the
winding reel that the same could be thrown in or out of gear as desired by the
person useing the hose.
The chain gear wheels would be geared up so that the winding reel would
automatically pay out, coil up, or remain stationary as desired by the person
useing the hose.

I, CHARLES CLIFFORD GOSSAGE of 4 Highfield Road Harborne in the County
of Stafford Manager 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 improved winding reel is intended principally for winding up hose pipes.
The accompanying drawing represents my improved reel.
Fig. 1 being the elevation and Fig. 2 the corresponding section.
In Fig. 1 and 2 A are rims B are bent stays which connect the two rims and at
the same time form the barrel upon which the hose C or other article to be coiled is
wound.

page_text: The stays B are connected to the hollow spindle G with rods D for maintaining
the circular form of the reel.
The barrel is then fixed upon a frame E F which is secured by four stay
rods at points E and F six wheels K and L are connected to the frame E and F
two wheels being larger in diameter as shewn, so that the carriage may be run in
any direction desired.
To one of the large wheels K is fixed a chain gear marked J which is connected
to gear wheel marked H this gear wheel marked H runs upon the spindle G and is
provided with cone bearing to allow the friction nut marked J to be worked in
connection forming friction clutch, which will allow the barrel A to be revolved
or remain stationary at the will of the operator.
The mode of using my improved reel is as follows:
.
Supposing the hose is ready to be wound up, one end is attached to the screwed
nipple provided in the hollow spindle G. The reel is then propelled upon the
ground in the direction in which the hose is lying, the barrel will automatically
revolve by means of the chain gear picking up the hose until the whole has been
wound up, the other end of the hose is then secured, and the friction clutch J
is released when the carriage or reel may be wheeled away to any desired place.
When it is desired to uncoil the hose, the outer end is detached from the reel,
-and the reel is propelled in any desired direction, the hose being paid out on the
ground as the reel advances.
It is obvious that the whole or any part of the hose may be paid out as
.desired.
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.
A reel composed of a barrel with hollow spindle connected to frame or carriage
and geared up for the purpose of automatically winding up and paying out hose.
piping.
