' Application filed e 1 5 SeT-ifll 266,927.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EUGENE B. Gnookan, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Pawtucket, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in Spools or Reels, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to t e accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to spools, on which may be wound wire, yarn, or silk, and is principally for use in the wire trade or textilemills.
The object of my invention is to provide a spool of simple and inexpensive construction that will be practically indestructible and extremely light in weight. Spools for this purpose are obliged to be very strong and durale in order to withstand the rough usage they receive at the hands of careless mill operatives. When heavily laden with wire or yarn, they are often dropped or thrown around, and if not practically indestructible loose or broken and the spool destroyed.
In addition to the strength re uired to withstand the rough handling it is a so found in pra'ctice that great pressure is brought to bear against the heads in winding, having a tendency to crowd or force them from the ends of the barrel.
When wooden plugs are employed for holding these heads in place on the barrel, it is found almost impossible to fasten and hold them in position, as they are bound to shrink or swell with the heat or moisture, and the heads soon become loosened by rough usage and come off. Then, again, in the use of wooden plugs it is dii'licult to drill the bearon the spool.
ing-hole exactly in the center, thereby causing the spool to run out and break the yarn or cause the same to be wound unevenly To obviate all of the above difficulties, I have arranged to use a metal barrel, to each end of which is )ermancntly secured a fiber head, said heads being held in position by metal plugs and busliings,\vhicl1 are soldered or otherwise permanently fixed to the barrel, thereby making the head practically to all intents and purposes integral with the body portion of the spool.
The spool is preferably constructed with a tubular barrel of corrugatedmctal; but I do not limit myself in this particular. By this construction a number of important advantages are obtained, the principle of which being that the strength and rigidity of the barrel are greatly increased, thereby allowing a much thinner stock to be used and the weight proportionally to be reduced. 1
With these and other advantages in view the invention consists of-certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully described, and particluarly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanyin shows a side elevation o the spool. a sectional view showing one end of the spool and illustrating my improved manner of holding the heads in place. Fig. 3 isa sec,- tional view of the bushing into the barrel, showin the inwardly-projecting central threade hub. Fig. -4 is a front elevation showing a section on line 4 4 of Fig. 3 looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of one of the heads, showing the central opening throu h it. Fig. 6 is a sectional side elevas tion 0 the head-retaining bushing. Fig. 7 is an end elevation of the bushing shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a sectional elevation of the center bearing-bushing that is fixed into the head-retaining bushing. Fig. 9 is a bushing similar to that shown in Fig.- 8 with the exception of having a circular raised shoulder on its face. Fig. 10 is a front elevation of the bushing shown in Fig. 9. v
Iteferrin to the drawings, at 1 1 are circular disks w ich form the heads or ends of the spool. These disks any suitable material, but paper fiber is preferably used, as it is found to be much more satisfactory for withstanding the shocks and drawings, Figure 1 strains these heads are sub'ected to without splitting, bending or brea ing. Each disk has a hole 2 through its center for the reception of the retaining-bushing. The barrel or body portion 3 is preferably constructedof metal and made in a tubular form, and I greferably em iloy the corrugated barrel llustrated in t e drawings for reasons herein explained. except where the same 'is used for spooling silk. l
In the ordinary spools the bearing-surface for the head is altogether too limited and allows the head'toeasily become loose there from. To remedy this difficulty, I- have' pro vided a thin metai bushing 4, (see Fig. 4,) that is preferably stamped up out of sheet may be constructed of' Fig. 2 is that is inserted ICE;
rest the head and a turned-back flange of a size to fit within the barrel and offer a surface by which it may be soldered or otherwise secured into the end of said barrel. (See Fig. 2.) This flange may be corrugated to better fit the barrel, if desired. The bushing is also provided with an inwardly-turned threaded ub 6, said screw-thread being preferably rolled or pressed therein. The end of this hub is partly covered by an inwardly-beveled head 7 ,'that is provided with a central bore 8, through which the spindle may pass. The beve'ling of the head lnwardly is to facilitate the uiding of the spindle through the hole.
The head-retaining bushing (see Fig. 6) is provided with a hub or trunnion 9, that passes through the central hole of the head 1. This hub prererably has a screw-thread rolled or pressed therein to on age that-on the inner surface of the hub of ushing 4. The outer edge of this trunnion is provided with a broadfaced flange 10,that engages'and supports the outer surface of head 1. Fi ed into the outer end of this bushing, either by solder or otherwise, is the metal centering-plug 11.
, This lug has an inwardly-turned flange 12,
by W ich it is soldered to the retainingbushing. It also has a hollow center hub portion 13, that serves'as a bearing for the spindle (not shown) that passes through it to retain said spool in )osition on the machine when in operation. i t 14 is a raised circular shoulder that is sometimes required on the ends of the spools.
The assembling of the parts of this 5 col or reel 'is extremely simple and can be c one very rapidly and without the aid of machinery or skilled labor. In assembling the parts the operator'takes a prepared tube or barrel portion, inserts therein the bushing 4 and solders the same around the outer edge 5. The headretainin bushing,towhichthe centerbearingbushin alas been previously soldered, is then inserte through the hole in the head 1 and screwed into the threaded bushing 1 and preferably set u with a spanner-wrench, which enga es t e holes 14 14 in the lace thereof. A ter the whole has been tightly set together a small screw or pin 15 (see Fig. 2) is inserted into the head through the flanges of the two bushings and the Whole is locked securely together.
It is obvious in my improved construction that by solderim the metal bushing into the end of the barrel portion and then screwing and otherwise securing the head therein that it is absolutely impossible for the same to be inadvertently removed from the barrel, and
as this head is supported by a broad shoulder.
or face on the inside and bythe board lhinge of the retaining-bushing on the outside it is practically impossible for said. hcadsto break away therefrom. Then, again, by stamping up metal bushings by the use of dies they are made absolutely perfect and the bearingholes are boundto come central, so the reel will run true on its spindle.
The spool is exceedingly simple and rec-- tical in its construction and very durab c.
Having thus described my invention, what 1 claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
