  composed 
  of 
  hard 
  rubber 
  or 
  vulcanite 
  bushed 
  to 
  form 
  bearings 
  for 
  the 
  

   spool 
  journals, 
  with 
  or 
  without 
  metal 
  bauds 
  encircling 
  the 
  rubber 
  or 
  

   vulcanite, 
  the 
  object 
  of 
  my 
  invention 
  being 
  - 
  to 
  provide 
  a 
  reel 
  which 
  

   shall 
  equal 
  in 
  appearance 
  one 
  having 
  plates 
  or 
  heads 
  of 
  rubber 
  or 
  vul- 
  

   canite, 
  and 
  which 
  shall 
  be 
  far 
  more 
  durable 
  and 
  strong; 
  neither 
  do 
  I 
  

   claim, 
  broadly, 
  as 
  of 
  my 
  invention 
  a 
  reel 
  having 
  a 
  recess 
  on 
  its 
  inner 
  

   side 
  to 
  receive 
  the 
  spool-flange, 
  and 
  a 
  hub 
  on 
  its 
  outer 
  side 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  

   bearing 
  for 
  the 
  spool-journal, 
  the 
  said 
  hub 
  having 
  a 
  cap-nut 
  applied 
  to 
  

   it. 
  Such 
  a 
  reel 
  is 
  shown

  patent 
  No. 
  214405, 
  

   granted 
  April 
  22, 
  1879, 
  to 
  L. 
  T. 
  Dickson 
  ; 
  but 
  its 
  plate 
  or 
  head 
  has 
  no 
  

   panel 
  applied 
  to 
  its 
  outer 
  side, 
  and 
  having 
  a 
  central 
  aperture 
  through 
  

   which 
  said 
  hub 
  projects, 
  nor 
  has 
  the 
  plate 
  or 
  head 
  any 
  rim 
  or 
  bezel 
  on 
  

   its 
  outer 
  side 
  to 
  receive 
  within 
  it 
  such 
  a 
  panel 
  as 
  I 
  employ 
  ; 
  neither 
  does 
  

   the 
  cap-nut 
  serve 
  the 
  double 
  purpose 
  of 
  covering 
  the 
  spool-journal 
  and 
  

   its 
  bearing 
  and 
  securing 
  a 
  panel 
  in 
  place, 
  as 
  does 
  my 
  cap-nut/."

  (John 
  Kopf, 
  Brooklyn, 
  N. 
  Y., 
  assignor 
  of 
  oae-balf 
  to 
  Thomas 
  B. 
  Mills, 
  of 
  same 
  place; 
  

   patented 
  December 
  10, 
  1884 
  ; 
  method 
  of 
  making 
  fishing- 
  reels. 
  See 
  Plate 
  LXXII.) 
  

  

  Heretofore 
  the 
  base-plate 
  and 
  heads 
  of 
  a 
  fishing-reel 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  

   of 
  separate 
  pieces 
  secured 
  together 
  by 
  screws 
  or 
  other 
  means, 
  and 
  the 
  

   heads 
  have 
  been 
  connected 
  by 
  one 
  or 
  more 
  pillars 
  or 
  cross-braces, 
  which 
  

   are 
  also 
  separate 
  pieces 
  from 
  the 
  heads 
  ; 
  hence 
  in 
  the 
  simplest 
  reel, 
  

   having 
  but 
  a 
  single 
  pillar 
  or 
  cross-brace 
  between 
  the 
  heads, 
  the 
  frame 
  

   has 
  consisted 
  of 
  four 
  parts, 
  irrespective 
  of 
  the 
  screws 
  whereby 
  said 
  

   parts 
  are 
  often 
  connected. 
  A 
  blank 
  is 
  cut 
  or 
  stamped 
  from 
  sheet 
  metal 
  

   Irv 
  dies, 
  the 
  blank 
  comprising 
  disk-like 
  portions 
  for 
  the 
  heads 
  of 
  the 
  

   reel, 
  and 
  a 
  portion, 
  between 
  the 
  disk-like 
  portions, 
  connected 
  with 
  them 
  

   by 
  necks 
  to 
  form 
  the 
  base-plate 
  of 
  the 
  reel. 
  These 
  necks 
  are 
  subse- 
  

   quently 
  bent 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  bring 
  the 
  disk-like 
  portions 
  into 
  positions 
  parallel 
  

   with 
  each 
  other, 
  and 
  at 
  right 
  angles 
  to 
  the 
  base-plate. 
  To 
  complete 
  the 
  

   frame 
  of 
  the 
  reel 
  a 
  cross 
  brace 
  or 
  tie 
  is 
  secured 
  between 
  the 
  disk-like
