Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to reels-unwinders of elongated flexible elements.
  • a winder-unwinder device comprising a drum having a hub around which the flexible member is intended to be wound, and two end flanges, the drum being mounted free to rotate about an axis secured to a support provided with a handle transport which is placed at a distance from said drum and which extends generally longitudinally from one end flange to the other parallel to the axis of rotation of said drum.
  • One of the particularly advantageous applications of the invention is the storage of electrical conductors or cables.
  • Document FR 2 166 674 already discloses a device winder-unwinder of the aforementioned type, which comprises a support constituted by bent tubes welded together, forming the base, the axis of rotation of the drum and the carrying handle of said winder-unwinder device.
  • the flexible member may escape the outside of the drum by the aforementioned free space and is wedged between the drum flanges and the vertical uprights supporting the handle transport.
  • a device "closed" winder-unwinder which includes a closed box containing two drums each having a hub around which a flexible member is intended to be rolled up, two end flanges, a common central flange to the two drums and an axis integral with the housing around which the drums are mounted free to rotate.
  • the closed case has two parallel cheeks, each positioned on the outer side near an end flange, connected by a cylindrical wall whose axis is the axis of rotation of drums.
  • This cylindrical wall carries, on the one hand, on its external surface, a carrying handle which extends longitudinally generally in the direction circumferential flanges, and, on the other hand, on its internal surface, grooves which accommodate the edge of the flanges to avoid any overflow beyond flanges of the wound flexible elements.
  • This arrangement of gorges is combined with bosses also provided on the inner surface of the wall cylindrical housing and on the cylindrical surface of the hubs to avoid flexible elements wrapped around the hubs to overlap.
  • bosses guide each flexible element wound around a hub so that it is distributed over the entire surface of the latter.
  • Document DE-U- 70 34 023 also describes a device "closed" reel-unwinder of the same type as that described in the document GB-A- 2,215,304.
  • the invention provides a new winder-unwinder device of the type defined in introduction, in which the carrying handle is equipped with two stops side for the elongated flexible element wrapped around the hub, each stopper lateral being positioned on the inner side of each flange of the drum, adjacent to a flange and extending towards the hub substantially perpendicular to the axis of said drum.
  • FIG. 1 to 3 there is shown a winder-unwinder device 100 of at least one elongated flexible element (not shown in the figures).
  • the elongated flexible element is a pipe, chain or similar product.
  • the tubes constituting the support 130 can advantageously be made of metallic material.

These fins of stiffening 111, 121 are regularly distributed around the hub 140.
  • Each flange 110, 120 has dimples 112, 122, here three cells, regularly distributed around the hub 140 of the drum.
  • Each flange 110, 120 has in its center a mounting bearing to free rotation of the drum on the axis 135 of the support 130.
  • the flange 120 has on its external face 120a a central opening circular in which is located the rotary mounting bearing of the drum. In this central opening, stiffening fins are also provided. 123 integral with the bearing, and which extend from the bearing, radially in a star, to connect to the flange 120.
  • the other flange 110 is closed on the outside and accommodates in a central part, here, four housings 113 for more electrical equipment particularly electrical outlets (not shown) inside the drum to the power cable to be wound around the hub of the drum.
  • These sockets allow connection electrical conductors or cables external to the cable power supply wrapped around the hub, and which has at its free end an outlet for connection to a device electric or mains.
  • housings 113 housing electrical equipment are closed externally by covers 114 pivotally mounted on the flange 110 by through hinges 115.
  • the flange 110 of the drum carries on its outer face 110a a handle 160 to allow the drum to rotate in rotation around the axis 135 of the support 130, so as to wind and unwind the electric cable around the hub.
  • This handle 160 is connected to the flange 110 by through a sleeve 161 force-fitted or screwed into a opening provided for this purpose in the flange 110.
  • the carrying handle 150 mounted on the horizontal support 133 is equipped with two lateral stops 152a, 153a for the elongated flexible element (here not shown) wound around the hub 140, each lateral stop 152a, 153a being positioned on the inside of each flange 110, 120 of the drum adjacent to a flange and extending towards the hub 140 substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation 135 of said drum.
  • each lateral stop 152a, 153a comes from formation with the carrying handle made by molding a material plastic.
  • lateral stops are attached to the handle transport.
  • Each lateral stop 152a, 153a is constituted by a wall which extends between the carrying handle 150 and a flange 110, 120 so that it closes the free space existing between them.
  • the carrying handle 150 has two grooves 154, 155 oriented in the direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drum and in which are engaged the peripheral edges 110c, 120c of the flanges 110, 120 of the drum while remaining out of contact with the walls defining said grooves.
