To @ZZ whom ven/05g; emweyie:

Be it known that We, JACOB C. 'KNUPP and JAMES G. GREENE, eitirgens of the United States, residing et JV-siren, in the @misty of Varen andState of Pennsyivsnia, lieve inl vented a. new and useful Sondeei, of which the oiiowingis a speeiiieation.

This invention reistes to .send-1eeis for well-drilling machines, vand has among its objects to simplify and improve the oopstruetion and operation of. this eless ef devices.

einsengranted to ourselves on the 14th day' of l and the improved device may be' readilyap March, 1905. 1n order that the shaft may be manipulated so as to throwfthe frictionwheel into and out of engagement with the 5 driving-wheel, one end of said shaft adjacent to the wheel. 21 is journaled in a boxing 22, pivotally' mounted in a frame 23, having grooved end members 24, adapted to slide 1n a suitably constructed supporting e frame.

i r0- (Not shown.) The opposite end oi the shaft may be supported in arocking box, or it may be provided with a detachable tapering gudgeon, as 25, secured iii position by means of a set-screw' 26 and adapted to be used in connection with a common knuckle-post as used vin connection with standard well-drilling rigs. Tl1e\friction-wheel is 'preferably secured in position upon the shaft by means of a key or spline 27, engaging the groove 8 in the shaft, zo and a corresponding seat said friction-wheel, said spline being secured in position, as by niean'svof a `set-screw 29, extending through the hub of the 'frictionwheel. The rim of the latter is preferably of 2 5 the` beveled and slightlyconcaved shape, (shown in the drawings as 31,) whereby it is enabled to cooperate in asatisiactory inanner with a'drivingnvheel of appropriate construction.

The operation and advantages of this invention will be readily understood from the foregoing'description, taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed. The construction is simple,

2S in the hub oi l durable, vand inexpensive,

plied and utilized in connection with modern 'forms of welLdrilling rigs.

Having thus described. the invention, what is clailnedis- 1. A sand-reel including' two neads each provided on its inner side with a pair of concentric annular flanges, said heads being provided with hubs having key-seats and setscrews disposed in registry with the key-seats; in combination with stayes having their ends seated between the ianges oi" the heads, means for `drawing the latter-tightly in the direction of each other, a shaft extending through thev hubs of the heads and having longitudinal groove in alineinent with the key-seats in the hubs, and keys or splines engaging said groove and key-seats and. secured by the set-screws.

2. A sandreel including'a pair of heads, means for drawing said heads in the direction of' cach other, staves heads and constituting the reel-body ordrnin,

interposed between the and an intermediate or auxiliary disk having a radial slot.

in tstii'nonj that we claim the foregoing as our own we have hereto a'llixed our signatures in the presence oi`two witnesses.
