Referring to the drawing, the spool or bobbin 15 The objects of the invention are to d vi consists of a tubular barrel member as indicated satisfactory spinning and winding bobbin r by the numeral III, which is made of suitable maspool for thread, silk, rayon, yarn, and the like, terial such as paper, cardboard or the combinawhich will be both light and strong and will run tion o pape a d d d, a d one end of the true on account of being perfectly balanced; to barrel is flanged ou w y t0 o m a generally 20 avoid vibration during the use of the spool or onical flan e as indicated by the numeral H. bobbin and consequently decrease the wear of the The base is Preferably made o wood or of spindle; to assure a better wound spool or bobbin other suitable substance heavier than the mateand thereby save a waste of time and thread, and rial of the barrel.

In the type of spool or bobbin as described in Like numerals of reference indicate corre- Figures 5 and 6, the same construction is shown sponding parts in the various figures. with the exception that the head It of the spool It'is well known in the art to have wooden is shaped slightly differently fromthe base, and 50 spools or bobbins but these are too heavy and also is provided with the orifice and a conical expensive for this purpose, whilst a spool made seat I! for the purpose of engaging with the of all paper is not strong enough for this purflared ends 18 of the cardboard barrel l9.

It will be noted that the constructions shown and described will serve admirably to accomplish the objects stated above. It is to beunderstood, however, that the constructions disclosed above are intended merely as illustrative of the invention and not as limiting as various modifications therein may be made without departing from the invention as defined by a proper interpretation of the claims which follow.

What I claim is:

1. In a spool or bobbin, a tubular barrel formed of rolled cardboard or the like, at least one end of which is formed with a generally conical flared out flange, a base of wood, or the like, formed with a generally cylindrical orifice fitting upon the said barrel and a generally conical seat extending outwardly from said orifice uponwhich seat the external surface of said flared out flange is seated, the outer end of said conical seat being bounded by an orifice extending to the end of the v base and a bushing of wood or the like fitting tightly in the second-mentioned orifice and having a conical end conforming to the internal surface of said flared out flange on the barrel tube, whereby a composite spool or bobbin is formed in which the barrel tube is firmly interlocked with the base and the' base and bushing entirelyenclose and conceal the end of said barrel tube. 1

2. In a spool or bobbin, a tubular barrel formed of rolled cardboard-or the like, at least one end -of which is formed with a generally conical flared out flange, a base of wood, or the like, formed with a generally cylindrical orifice fitting upon the said barrel and a generally conical seat extending outwardly from said orifice and ,upon which the external surface of said flared out flange is seated, the outer end of said conical seat being bounded by an orifice extending to the end of the base, and a bushing of wood or the like fitting tightly in the second mentioned orifice having a conical end conforming to the internal surface of said flared out flange on the barrel tube and having its outer end in the plane of the outer end of the base, whereby a composite spool or bobbin is formed in which the barrel tube is firmlyinterlocked with the base and the base and bushing entirely enclose and conceal the end of said barrel tube. and form a continuous end surface of wood or the like.
