Abstract
Abstract A fishing line receiving spool for use in combination with a fishing line spool flanged mounting hub, the spool having an axial core of generally cylindrical configuration with a pair of end flanges secured to opposite ends thereof, the inner surface of the spool core having at least one key means for engaging the surface of a spool receiving hub, said key means having an axis disposed parallel to the axis of the core, each of said spool flanges having at least one bore formed therethrough and disposed at a point radially inwardly from the outer spool flange periphery. This structure permits the line spool to be received on a flanged mounting hub in either axial direction, thus permitting use in connection with spooling or reeling systems operating in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. In addition, the spool flanges are smoothly radiused in order to provide a proper winding surface for the line retained on the spool.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
Fishing line spool means for use in combination with a fishing line spool flanged mounting hub, said spool comprising: a. an axial core of generally cylindrical configuration having a pair of end spool flanges secured to opposite ends thereof, b. the inner surface of said core having at least one key means for engaging the surface of a spool receiving hub, said key means having an axis disposed parallel to the axis of said core, c. each of said spool flanges having at least one bore formed therethrough and disposed at a point radially inwardly from the outer spool flange periphery.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
Fishing line spool means for use in combination with a fishing line spool flanged mounting hub, said spool comprising: a. an axial core of generally cylindrical configuration having a pair of end spool flanges secured to opposite ends thereof, b. the inner surface of said core having at least one key means for engaging the surface of a spool receiving hub, said key means having an axis disposed parallel to the axis of said core, c. each of said spool flanges having at least one bore formed therethrough and disposed at a point radially inwardly from the outer spool flange periphery.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
The fishing line spool means as defined in claim 1 being particularly characterized in that the inner surface of said core has three symmetrically disposed keys formed therein, and each of said spool flanges has three bores formed therethrough, said bores being disposed at equal radial distances from the axis of said core, and being arranged symmetrically, one with another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The fishing line spool means as defined in claim 1 being particularly characterized in that each of said key means and spool flange bores is disposed symmetrically radially and axially.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The fishing line spool means as defined in claim 1 being particularly characterized in that the inner edge surface of each of said spool flanges is radiused.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The fishing line spool means as defined in claim 1 being particularly characterized in that said spool flanges are symmetrically arranged, one with respect to the other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
106 words
Fishing line spool means for use in combination with a fishing line spool flanged mounting hub having radially disposed pins projecting axially forwardly on the flange of the mounting hub, said spool comprising: a. an axial core of generally cylindrical configuration having a pair of end spool flanges secured to opposite ends thereof, b. the inner surface of said core having at least one key means for engaging the surface of a spool receiving hub, said key means having an axis disposed parallel to the axis of said core, c. each of said spool flanges having a bore formed therethrough for accommodating the said projecting pin.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
106 words
Fishing line spool means for use in combination with a fishing line spool flanged mounting hub having radially disposed pins projecting axially forwardly on the flange of the mounting hub, said spool comprising: a. an axial core of generally cylindrical configuration having a pair of end spool flanges secured to opposite ends thereof, b. the inner surface of said core having at least one key means for engaging the surface of a spool receiving hub, said key means having an axis disposed parallel to the axis of said core, c. each of said spool flanges having a bore formed therethrough for accommodating the said projecting pin.
