Description

UNITED STATES PATENT Erica.
\VILLIE L. E. KEUFFEL, OF HOBOKEN, NEIV JERSEY.
TAPE-REEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 645,263, dated March 13, 1900. Application filed December 22, 1899. Serial No. 741,221. (No model.)
- a citizen of the United States, and a resident of I-Ioboken, in the'county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tape-Reels, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to tape-reels; and its novelty consists in the construction and adaptation of the parts, as will be more fully hereinafter pointed out.
In the tape-reels known to me, where there is a central drum secured within a pair of retaining-frames, the drum is apt to be cut by the'narrow bearing-surface afforded by the side of the frame. Moreover, in such reels where the drum is provided with an externally-hinged folding crank a common disadvantage has been the difficulty of unfolding the crank without using a tool or splitting the finger-nail. A third disadvantage hasbeen the soldering of the drum-plates, the connection thus formed being expensive and unreliable.
In my invention I have aimed to overcome the difficulties stated by providing a broad bearing-surface for the drum without lessening the surface around which the tape is wound by making my crank in such a manner as to project beyond the outer edge of the drum to permit of it being readily seized and unfolded and by securing the drum-plates together in an efficient and economical manner.
In the drawings, Figure l is a plan view of my improved tape-reel, showing the tape wound thereon and the crank folded in place. Fig. 2 is a section of the same on the plane of the line 2 2 in Fig. 1, the tape being omitted. Fig. 3 is a plan view of one of the external drum-plates, and Fig. 4 a side view thereof. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the internal drumplate, and Fig. 6 is a side viewthereof and of the connecting-post. Fig. 7 is a plan view of the crank. Fig. 8 is a plan view of the other external drum-plate, and Fig. 9 is a side view thereof.
In the drawings, f is the frame, consisting of two spiders united by rivet-posts f, which keep them apart the proper distance. A handle f enables the user of the tape to hold it easily when paying it out or winding it up.'
Each spider is provided with a central circular aperture the periphery of which is provided with an outwardly-projecting flange f made integral with the spider and made smooth on its external edge. Seated within and between the spiders and mounted upon the flanges f as a bearing is a drum upon which the'tape is wound. This drum consists of three plates-two external plates (1 and a and an internal plate 6, united together in a manner presently to be described.
The external drum-plate 01 consists of a fiat disk d, externally beveled and provided near its inner periphery with an internally-projecting annularflange (1 The disk d is provided with two apertures-one, (1 to admit of the insertion of the crank c, and the other, (1 to permit of the passage of the crank-handle c. The annular flange d is provided with an aperture 01 to admit of the insertion of the end of the tape t. Portions of its surface are struck out and pressed inward, forming lugs d which are adapted to hold the internal plate I) in place. Another portion of its surface is also struck out and pressed inward to form a spring'd adapted to press against the crank-handle c, and thus prevent its accidental displacement.
The external drum-plate aconsists also of a flat disk a, externallybeveled and provided near its inner periphery with an internally-projecting annular flange a The disk a is provided with a central aperture to permit of the passage of the screw 8. The flange a is provided with an aperture a made by striking out a portion of its surface and turning in a part of it to form two ears a, adapted to engage with and overlap the edges of the aperture d of the drum-plate d.
The internal drum-plate?) is a flat disk having a portion of its surface cut away at b to permit of the passage of the crank-handle c and a second portion cut away to permit of the passage of the end of the crank c, a part of its surface being upturned to form cars 5 which are perforated at b to permit of the insertion of the pintle c of the crank c.
A post p is secured at one extremity to the inner surface of the plate b,'and being internally threaded at its other extremity is adapted to receive the screw 3. The crank c is formed of a plate of metal suitably shaped and provided with a handle 0 and a pintle c It is made so as to project beyond the edge of the drum-plate d. The tape t is provided with a hook or similar means of being secured within the drum and with a handle 6 in the usual manner.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. In a tape-reel aframe consisting of two spiders secured together by any suitable means, each spider being provided with a central circular aperture the periphery of which is provided with an outwardly projecting flange made integral with the spider, the two flanges 0n the spiders forming a broad bearing for the tape-drum placed within them.
2. In a tape-reel, a tape-drum consisting of three plates, two external plates each provided with inwardly projecting annular flanges and an internal plate, the internal plate being secured to one external plate by an axial post and screw and to the other external plate by struck-up peripheral lugs projecting from its annular flange.
3. In a tape-reel, an internal drum-plate provided with an axial post adapted'to be secured to one external drum-plate, and with struck-up ears adapted to form bearings for the crank-pintle and projecting through asuitable aperture in the second external drumplate, the two external drum-plates'being provided with inwardly-projecting annular flanges.
4:. In a tape-reel, the combination with a frame made of two spiders and means for holding them firmly apart, of a tape-drum consisting of three plates, two external plates each provided with inwardly-projecting an- WILLIE L. E. KEUFFEL.
