REEL roa cnornnsmr vnsp Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec, 15 1914 Application fi1ed'April30, 1914. seria No. 5,445.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MICHAEL T. KEN- NELLY, a Citizen of the United States, resid- It is the main object of the invention to render apparatus of this kind conveniently separable into two principal parts, one being stationary and immovable, for holding the other when in use, and the other being rotary and removable, for holding the line, and at the same time to adapt these parts to make a reliable engagement with each other whenever desired; to facilitate the quick engagement and disengagement of theseparts; and in general to increase the efficiency of reels of the specified class.
improved reel, as parts thereof, a two-armed bracket having alining bearings of a special description, a removable spool having a spindle rotatable in these bearings, and a lock between thebracket and the spool.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the best manner in which I have contemplated applying the principles of the invention, Figure 1 is a plan of a reel which is constructed in accordance with these principles, and is positioned and locked as in actual use. Fig. 2 is a side elevation ofthe same reel with a clothes line terminally attached to the spool. The other figures are enlarged details of parts of the same reel.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a portion of one of the bracket arms, carrying the lock bolt. Fig. 4 is a central horizontal section. of the same portion of the same bracket arm. Figs. 5 and 6 arerespectively a side elevation and a plan of the lock bolt. Fig. 7 is a front elevation of the stop hook, slidable on one of the bracket arms.
In this illustrative specimen of my invention, the stationary part of the reel is the bracket comprising the parallel arms 1 and 2, which are connected rigidly by the crossbars 3 and 4. This bracket is to be permanently secured in a horizontal position to the side of a building or to some other suitable out-of-door support by means of the To accomplish this object I incorporate inmy' double brace 5 and the screws Transversely in the enlarged free ends, or heads 9 and 9, of these bracket arms is formed a stepped conical bearing, comprising two component pla1n;bear1ngs 7 and 8, which are of unequal size, coaxial, continuousv with each other, adjacent respectively to the opposite sides of the arm, andequal in collective length to its thickness. j The radially directed opening 10, slightly exceeding in width the diameter of the smallerbearing 7,
extends obliquely forward and upward "therefrom to the periphery of the head 9',
and from side to side of that head. p
The removable spool is denoted by the numeral 11. It has the flanges 12 and the coaxial disk-like spacing bosses 13 and 13, the latter projecting from the outer faces of the flanges respectively. It has also the step spindle 14, fitted to the above described step bearings, and provided with the terminal crank 15, which is permanently sehead 9 by the intermediate flange or collar 1. 6. The lock for securing the spool in'posltion in the bracket, comprises the angular bolt 17, which is slidable endwise in the cured to that spindle and is spaced from the channel 18, and normally retained therein bythe headed pin 19 slidable in a radial direction in the slot 20 and into and out of the notch 24 in the arm 2. This notch extends horizontally across the bottom of the slot 20, and is adapted to catch the pin 19, which drops thereinto whenever the bolt 17 is;
pushed forward by hand to the locking position shown in Fig. 3. When shot forward to that position, this angular and bifurcated bolt engages the spindle between the boss 13 and the head 9, spaces those members from each other, and prevents the spindle from escaping from its bearing in the head 9 by the way of the slot 10. By 50 spacing the boss 13 from the head 9', this bolt furthermore prevents the spindle from slipping endwise and so escaping from its stepped bearing in the head 9. The clothes line 21, which is intended to be run through the swiveled pulley 22 above, is drawn taut by turning the crank, and is held in that condition by the stop hook 23, which engages or disengages the crank, as may be desired, by sliding on the arm 2. For the purpose of being carried in out of the weather, when not in use, the spool is removable from the bracket by first sliding back the lock bolt, by then sliding the spool endwise against the arm 2, by then lifting the crank-carrying end of the spindle from its bearing in the head 9' by Way of the slot 10, and by then Withdrawing the other end of the spin-1' dle from the head 9.
I claim as my invention-:-
1. A reel of the specified class, comprising a bracket having two arms, two alining stepped bearings formed in the arms respectively, one of the arms having a longitudinal channel, and the bearing in said arm having a radially directed slot opening terminally upward, a spool, a spindle fixed in the spool, and having terminal stepped journals fitted to said bearings and slidable end- Wise therein, a sliding angular bolt, seated in said channel and adapted not only to engage the spindle but also to space the spool from said arm and thereby prevent the spindle from slipping endwise in its bearings.
2. A reel of the specified class, comprising a bracket having two arms, two alining stepped bearings formed in the arms respectively, one of the arms having a longitudinal channel, and the bearings therein having a radially directed slot opening terminally upward, a spool, a spindle fixed in the spool DGS SGS.
