FABREC BOARD.

...pplication vled. October 1l, 1921. Serial. No. 506,964.

To all whom 'it may concern the invention consists in general of certain Be it known that l, Snaren S. Lewis, a citizen of the United Stat-es of America, residing at 210 West 110th Street, N ew York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fabric Board, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to devices on which to Wrap or wind fabric and is preferably termed a fabric board.

One important object of the invention is to provide a cheap form of fabric board of novel and improved construction.

' A secondimportant object of the invention is to provide an improved form of fabric board which can be built up from cardboard,

pasteboard, or the like material and which Will be light in weight and economical in manufacture.

With the above and other objects in' view,

l novel details of construction and combinations of arts hereinafter ully described, illustrated) in `the accompanying drawings, and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, like characters of reference indicate like parts in the' several views, and

Figure 1 is aperspective view of fabric board constructed in accordance with this invention, a portion being brokenv away the better to show the construction.

Figure 2 is an end view thereof.

Figure' 3 is a section, partly broken away, on the line 3i-3 of Figure 2.

Figure i is a disassembled section on the l line 4 4 of Figure 3. y

Figure 5 is a detailed view showing the manner of locking the supporting strips together.

l In the embodiment of the invention herein illustrated there is provided a shallow elongated tray l0 of pasteboard, cardboard, or other like material and fitted within this tray 10 is a second similar tray 11 having substantially the saine depth as the tray 10l but being just sufficiently shorter and narrower thatthe trays 11 and l0 nest together snugly. It is to be noted that the bottoms of these trays torni the sides of the reel body. Along each of the longitudinal edges orP the tray 10 is secured a strip 12 which is preferably termed the edge strip and forms a half round bead, the strip being bent to a semi# circular arcuate shape as clearly shown in lnally as indicated at 13 lextends transversely as at 14. rlhe longitulsides and of substantially dinal strip is provided with notches 1.5 and the transverse strips are likewise provided with notches 16, these notches co-acting to hold the strips in position as shown in Figure 5. These strips preferably run from end wall to end wall of the trays and from side Wall to side wall thereof so that the bottoms of the trays are prevented from collapsing toward each other. At each end the tray is bound with a suitable paper binding lor covering 17 which serves to close the o en ends of the side beads and also to provi e a neat finish-,at said ends. v

With a fabric reel constructed in this manner it will be seen that the same may be made very cheaply and also that it will be light andl strong.

There has thus been provided a simple and eiicient device of the kind described and for the purpose specified.

Itis obvious that minor changes may be made in the form and construction of the invention without departing from the material principles thereof. It is not therefore desired to confine the invention to the exact form herein shown and described, but it is wished to include all such as properly come within the scope claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what I is claimed as new, is.:-

1. A fabric board consisting of an elon` gated shallow trayof cardboard like material, a second similar tray fitted within the' the same depth as of the irst tray, being oppositely disposed to form the main side portions of the board, a semi-circular the bottoms of said trays trough shaped cardboard strip secured to each of the longitudinal edges of the outer tray to form edge beads for said board, and interlocked spaced strips within the board between the bottoms of the inner and outer trays to hold said bottoms against collapse,` said strips extending from side to side and end to end of the trays in parallel relation to the end and side walls thereof res natively, the strips extending from side to si e engaging the sides of the trays and supporting the .2 nt-amro safes laterally against collapse through pressaid bottoms against collapse, said strips exsure of cloth Wound on said board. tending from side to side and end to end of 2.l A fabric board consisting of an elonthe trays in parallel relation to the end and `gated shallow tray of cardboard like inateside walls thereof respeotively, the ends ex- 15 l rial, a-second similar tray fitted Within the tending from side to side engaging the side sidesfand substantially of the same depth as Walls of the inner tray and slippertin the `the\first tray, the bottoms of said trays being same against collapse under pressure rom oppositely disposed to forni the main side 010th Wound; 0n the board. vportions of the board, and interlocking .n testimony whereof I hereunto aiix my 20 10 spaced strips within the board between the Slgmtue. v

bottoms of the inner and outer trays to hold SEMON S. LEWIS.
