G. E. B. WELLES CLOTH REEL Filed April 22. 1932 m n V/f m w 8 .m flue/u C 8 w w Patented Dec. 26, 1933 1 S A E My invention relates to cloth reels, especially of that type having a skeleton frame of wood and end caps of metal. v I
The invention consists in the novel structure ii of the reel in respect both to' its frame and its V a are single blocks, but the spacers 4 between the -40 end caps, as hereinafter fully described.
The object of the invention is to improve said reel, in order to secure certain desirable effects, as will be hereinafter set forth. 1
In the accompanying drawing, the improved cloth reel is shown in its preferred form, though it is to be understood that changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined. in the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawing:-
Fig. 1 is a plan of my improved cloth reel, the paper cover being broken away.
Fig. 2 is a cross section, enlarged, of the reel on a line intermediate its ends.
the reel.
Fig. 4 is a plan View of one. of the end caps. The longitudinal members of .the skeleton frame of the reel are the side strips 1 and. one or more intervening strips 2 here shown for example, as two, all the strips being preferably made of wood, and assembled in parallel, spaced relation. The side strips 1 are half-round in section, with convex side facing outward, and the intervening strips 2 are rectangular in section. The width of all thestrips is equal, so that their edges when assembled lie in even planes.
The ends of the strips are separated by a line of spacer blocks of wood, certain ones of which are wedges adapted to vary the effective length of the spacer line; for example in the form shown the spacers 3 which lie between the side strips and the respective adjacent intervening strips .intervening strips are double, the contacting or meeting ends of the pair being in wedge form, as shown at 5, so that said double blocks 4 have a dual function, namely that of spacing and that 7 and angular ends 8, punched out to form.
tongues 9, Fig. 2. The struts 6 are fitted flat between the strips 1 and 2, in a plane preferably Fig. Sis a cross section through one end of.
said caps be driven on to said extremities to make midway between the .upper and lower edges thereof, the angle ends 8 of the struts bearing against the sidesof the strips,- and their tongues 9 penetrating them as shown in Fig. 2. Thus the struts are Well adapted for easy fitting and ready 601.
removal, and when in place they serve effectively to stifien the frame between its ends;'and, by
reason of their position, they present no un- 1 evenness to the frame surfaces.
10 .are the end caps of the reel. These are 651?- made of relatively rigid material, preferably metal. They are fully open on one side in order to slip over and embrace the ends of the frame, but on the other side they are only partially open by reason of an inturned flange 11, Figs. 3
cardboard; and the appropriate inscription may 7 be printed directly upon its exposed face or a strip of paper may be laid uponsaid face and properly inscribed.
-By driving in thewedge spacers 4 the ends'of r theframe are tightened in the caps 10, but upon lifting out said spacers the caps may readily beremoved to receive another name plate.
13 is the usual paper cover which envelopes the reel, and as much of the'surface of the end caps as may be'desired.
There are no nails, brads or screwsused in the reel. There are no joints or meeting surfaces with edges liable to be or to become uneven or distorted in any part of thereel frame upon which the cloth is wound. The functional surface of the frame is even and smooth throughout; and the paper cover 13 is thus not liable to wrinkle, a condition "from which undesirable creasing of the clothresults. There are no small paper strips on the outside subject to wear or liable to be soiled, by handling. The whole reel:
is adapted'for easy dismemberment for any purpose, and, conversely, it can be easily assembled,
andrendered rigid by the simple expedient of L Ill) 1 but strong, and its manufacture, both with respect to materials and labor is economical.
I claim: 1. In a cloth reel, the combination of a skeleton frame comprising a plurality of strips longitudinallS directed in parallel spaced relation, and means at each end for holding said strips in said relation; and additional holding means adapted for application between said strips at points intervening said ends, consisting of struts of sheet metal of less width than the width of the strips, and shaped for compression resistance, said struts having tongues stamped out at each end for penetrating said strips.
2. A cloth reel comprising a frame having parallel, longitudinal, spaced strips; wedging spacers between and independent of said strips, for increasing their spaced'relation; and relatively rigid caps removably fitted upon the strip ends for confining and tightening said strips in their increased spaced relation.
3. A cloth reel comprising a frame having a plurality of parallel, longitudinal, spaced strips; spacers between and independent of the ends of said strips, certain of said spacers being wedges for adjusting the aggregate length of the spacer line and increasing the spaced relation of the strips; and relatively rigid caps removably fitted upon the strip ends and spacer lines.
