No. 16544.—22nd June, 1903.—ALEXANDER HARRISON BROWNLEY, of Queen Street, Onehunga, Auckland, New Zealand, Optician. Improved spring winding apparatus for the suspending-cords of eyeglasses and the like.*

Extract from Specification.—In my invention the cord is wound upon a drum revolvably mounted within a cylindrical casing, and operated upon by a coiled spring, one end of which is fixed to the casing and the other end to the drum, whereby when the cord is drawn out the spring is coiled up and normally tends to rewind the cord. The drum is prevented from revolving, except when required, by a friction-disc mounted upon guides projecting from a sleeve fixed within the casing, the disc being drawn into contact with the face of the drum by a spiral spring threaded and operating upon a spindle, one end of which is secured, by riveting or otherwise, to the disc. When it is desired to release the drum and wind the cord the spindle is pushed in against the pressure of the spring; the friction-disc is thereby moved out of contact with the face of the drum.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
