UNITED STATES PATENT ornrcn FRED J MOSEB, OF FRIENDSHIP, NEW YORK.

REEL.

14,543. Original No. 923,559, dated June 1, 1909,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED J. MOSER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Friendship, in the county of Allegany and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Reels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to reels, and consists in certain improvements in the con struction thereof as will be hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

The reel forming the subject matter of the invention is peculiarly, adapted for handling measuring lines in deep wells, but may be useful for other purposes.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings; wherein is shown a central vertical section of the device.

1 marks the spool. 2 a sleeve or hollow shaft on which the spool is rotatively mounted, and 3 a shaft on which the sleeve is rotatively mounted.- The shaft has the extension A at one end provided with a nut 5 by means of which it may be secured to any convenient support. The sleeve 2 is provided with a flan e 6 at one end, and has the screw thread The crank 8 has the screw threaded arranged to operate upon the screw thread 7. The hub is provided with the flange 10 similar in form to the flange 6. The washers 11 are arranged at each end of the spool in the recesses 11*.

As the crank is screwed up on the sleeve 2 it clamps the spool between the flanges 6 and 10.- If this clamping action is carrie far enough the spool is locked with the crank, so that the spool may be rotated by the crank to wind a line upon it. he crank may be utilized also as a brake as the line is payed out by controlling the clamping actlon.

In order to make the turning of the crank on the sleeve positive it is desirable to lock the sleeve against turning with the crank at this time. The shaft 3 has the screw threaded end 12 on which is arranged the nut 13. A cam collar 14: having the cam surfaces 15-15 on its face is fixed on the shaft 3 at the opposite end of the spool. A cam collar 17 having the cam surfaces 16-16 arranged to oppose and cooperate with the cam surfaces 15-45 is journaled on the shaft 3. The lever 18 extends from this The collar is forced axially by the Specification of Reissued Letters Patent. Reissued Oct. 29, 1918.

cam surfaces, so that the sleeve 2 is clamped between the collar 17 and nut 13, thus securely looking it against rotation as the crank is turned to force it into engagement with the spool either for clamping it with the spool, or for utilizing it as a brake. When it is desired to turn the spool for winding the line, the collar 17 is released, so that the sleeve 2 is free to rotate with the spool and crank. As the line is paid out the sleeve is locked against rotation through the action of the collar 17, and the speed is controlled through the action of the crank. As it is screwed up the braking action of course increases, and as. it is unscrewed it permits the spool to run more freely.

One of the important advantages of this construction is, that the crank does not rotate with the spool in paying out the line, but is then used as a brake to regulate the speedof the spool. Reels of ordinary construction having their cranks fixed to the spool which when revolving rapidly are thrown out of balance by the swing of the crank, and the motionthen becomes jerky, .the brake unsatisfactory and the reach of the crank and handle a source of danger which is obviated in this construction. With my construction the spool runs evenly, the screw threaded engagement of the crank forms a nice adjustment of the crank with relation to the spool, and the control of the brake is very sensitive and the danger of the swinging crank removed.

What I claim as new is 1. In a reel, the combination of a spool; a crank; concentric mountings for the crank and spool; devices for holding the crank mounting from movement 'in either direction as the crank is turned; means for clamping the. crank and spool together as the crank is turned relatively to its mounting in one direction, and for releasing the crank therefrom as the crank is turned in the opposite direction.

2. In a reel, the combination of a spool; a crank; concentric mountings for the crank and spool; axially moving clamping devices for holding the crank mounting as the crank is turned; means for clamping the crank and spool together as the crank is turned relatively to its mounting in one direction and to release the crank therefrom as the crank .is turned in the opposite direction.
