This invention relates to spring Wire reels, and'an' object of the invention is to provide a spring wire reel for holding a coil of spring it is being unwound from the wire while roll. I I

Another feature of the invention is to pr vide wavy reel so that the strand of wire feeds out of theholder without tangling-and at the same time prevents casual unwinding of thewire. Another purpose of the present invention is to makeawire reel to make it convenient for any one such' as piano tuners, repairmen, aeroplane factories or other factories and retail stores to handle spring wire without With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is disclosed an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations, and

modifications may be resorted to without'departing from the spirit of the claims hereto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding partsthroughout the several views Figure 1 is a side elevation of the reel in accordance with the present invention in the r assembled relation;

Fig. 2' is a side View of one of the sections of the reel.

Fig. 3 is a diametric detailed sectional view through the section of the reel in disassem bled relation.

Fig. 4 is a detailed diametric sectional,

- Fig.6 is a plan view of the* blank of metal from whichis formed the spacing bands, and Fig. 7 is a perspective View of the split locking ring."

Inthe drawingslwherein for-the purpose 1 of illustration shown the preferred em; bodimentof my invention A indicates generally the'reel in the assembled'relation which. is formed of two disk sections-indicated generally at 10,11 that are. detachably coupled t'ogetherY The disks 10, 11am formed with a view to fabricating'them in a single operationas will be apparent asthe description proceeds.

The disks 10, 11 are respectively formed 1 with inwardly directed sleeve hubs '12,. 13 which in the assembled relation have the confronting edges thereof in abutment to form a bearing for a shaft on'which the reel 'rotates. Both of the walls 14, 15 of the disks slope inwardly ,from the outer ends of the sleeves 12,13 to the inner edge of the sege mental mounted rims 16, 17 formed on the I peripheries of the disks.

It will be the sloping portions,;andthe segmental rims, provide for forming the disks 10, 11 out of a singleblank of relatively thin metalsuch as sheet steel. .The confronting outer edges of the segmental rims 16, 17 are cut to a waving configuration as at 18, '19 so that when the disk sections 10, 11 are assembled and properly spaced as will appear, there isa continnous wavy slot 21 formedin the outer peripheryof the reel as will appear in Fig. 5 of the drawings. The rims 16,17 each have a series of circular openings 22, 23 in their side walls to permit the cutting of the band wire that holds the roll ofwire together as it is shipped from. the factory. Each one of the series of openings on each rim 16, '17 are in alinement with eachbther."

In the'sloping portion 15 of the section 11 are formed an-annular series of spaced slots apparent that the sleeve hubs, I

24 throughwhich extend the spaced locking ears 25 formed on one edge of the spacing
