  The 
  object 
  is 
  to 
  supply 
  a 
  fishing-reel 
  that 
  can 
  be 
  used 
  without 
  a 
  rod. 
  

   The 
  reel 
  is 
  of 
  wood 
  or 
  is 
  a 
  skeleton 
  of 
  metal, 
  and 
  has 
  one 
  or 
  more 
  crank 
  

   handles. 
  The 
  reel-frame 
  may 
  be 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  post, 
  or 
  of 
  fork 
  shape, 
  the 
  

   spindle 
  being 
  in 
  one 
  case 
  fixed 
  to 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  case 
  revoluble 
  in 
  

   the 
  reel 
  frame. 
  The 
  reel 
  frame 
  is 
  fixed 
  upon 
  a 
  handle, 
  and 
  at 
  its 
  point 
  

   of 
  attachment 
  thereto, 
  at 
  one 
  or 
  both 
  sides, 
  has 
  a 
  hook-shaped 
  finger- 
  

   rest, 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  reel 
  can 
  be 
  firmly 
  grasped, 
  thus 
  allowing 
  

   the 
  line 
  to 
  be 
  thrown 
  a 
  great 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  shore 
  without 
  risk 
  of 
  

   slipping 
  from 
  the 
  hand.
