  This 
  invention 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  reel 
  inclosed 
  and 
  having 
  bearings 
  in 
  a 
  

   case 
  composed 
  of 
  two 
  end 
  pieces 
  connected 
  together 
  by 
  three 
  rods, 
  and 
  

   a 
  cylindrical 
  shell 
  open 
  about 
  one-third 
  the 
  circumference, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   end 
  pieces 
  being 
  so 
  formed 
  as 
  to 
  incase 
  a 
  gear-wheel 
  which 
  meshes 
  

   into 
  a 
  pinion 
  on 
  the 
  reel-shaft, 
  the 
  gear-wheel 
  having 
  a 
  crank-handle 
  

   on 
  its 
  shaft, 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  reel 
  may 
  be 
  rapidly 
  rotated 
  and 
  the 
  

   line 
  wound 
  evenly 
  thereon 
  and 
  without 
  kinks. 
  A 
  spring-catch 
  pivoted 
  

   to 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  end 
  pieces 
  falls 
  between 
  the 
  spokes 
  or 
  into 
  the 
  openings 
  

   of 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  flanges 
  of 
  the 
  reel, 
  thereby 
  holding 
  the 
  reel 
  and 
  prevent-
