Description

A CABLE REEL
This invention relates a cable reel.
Various types of cable reel are known in which the cable reel comprises a hub, an electrical cable which is wound and unwound on the hub, and a winding handle for rotating the hub in order to wind and unwind the cable on the hub. Such known cable reels are sometimes known as cassette reels. During the winding and unwinding, the.cable rubs against an inner face of a stationary side of a cable reel. The stationary side may form part of a housing for the cable reel. The rubbing causes friction, with the friction tending to make it more difficult than it would otherwise be to wind and unwind the cable. Also, the friction may cause the cable prematurely to wear.
It is an aim of the present invention to obviate or reduce the above mentioned problem.
Accordingly, in one non-limiting embodiment of the present invention there is provided a cable reel comprising a hub, a cable which is able to be wound and unwound on the hub, and a winding handle for rotating the hub for winding and unwinding the cable on the hub, and the cable reel being such that: (i) the cable reel has a first side which rotates with the hub and which is located at a first end portion of the hub, (ii) the cable reel has a second side which does not rotate with the hub, (iii) the cable reel includes a cable-protecting arrangement which rotates with the hub and which is located at a second end portion of the hub, and (iv) the cable-protecting arrangement maintains the cable out of contact with the second side of the cable reel when the cable is being wound and unwound on the hub.
Because the cable-protecting arrangement maintains the cable out of contact with the inner face of the second side of the cable reel, there is considerably less friction than would be the case if the cable were sliding over the inner face of the second side of the cable reel as the cable is wound and unwound on the hub. Also, any wear on the cable resulting from this friction is avoided.
Preferably, the cable-protecting arrangement is a flange on the hub.
Other types of cable-protecting arrangement may however be employed so that, for example, the cable-protecting arrangement may be an apertured arrangement on the hub. The apertured arrangement may be in the shape of a spider's web.
The cable reel may be one in which the cable-protecting arrangement is spaced apart from the second side of the cable reel. Alternatively, the cable reel may be one in which the cable-protecting arrangement comprises a plurality of tiny friction-reducing members which project from a face of the cable-protecting arrangement adjacent the second side of the cable reel, and in which rub on the second side of the cable reel. Preferably, the friction-reducing members are lugs. Other types of friction-reducing members may be employed.
The cable reel may be one in which the cable-protecting arrangement comprises a rim, for example which projects from a face of the cable-protecting arrangement.
The cable reel may be one in which the cable reel comprises a circular housing portion, in which the second side forms part of the circular housing portion, and in which the circular housing portion has a slot through which the cable passes. The slot is able to be larger than slots in known cable reels, thus facilitating the easy entrance and exit of the cable into the cable reel.
The cable reel may include a cable guide for preventing tangling of the cable with the winding handle during the winding and unwinding of the cable.
The cable guide preferably comprises first and second guide wings which extend one on either side of the winding handle. The cable guide may include a pair of spaced-apart guide arms which connect to the winding handle. Other types of cable guide may be employed, with the cable guide being of any suitable and appropriate shape.
Preferably, the winding handle extends beyond the circumference of the first side. In this case, the winding handle may comprise a radially-extending arm, and a knob which extends axially and transversely of the radially-extending arm.
The first and second guide wings may be located adjacent a side of the radially-extending arm and opposite the knob.
The cable reel may include a carrying handle.
The carrying handle may be a recessed formation in a side of the cable reel. Other types of carrying handle may be employed. When the carrying handle is the recessed formation, then the cable reel may be one in which the recessed formation comprises first and second overhanging portions, and in which the first and second overhanging portions are positioned on opposite sides of the recessed formation and provide grip for fingers of a person carrying the cable reel.
The cable reel may be made in various materials. Thus, for example, the hub, the winding handle and the sides of the cable reel may be moulded from a plastics material. The cable will usually be an electrical cable.
However, other types of cable may be employed so that, for example, the cable may be a steel cable. With an electrical cable, the first side may include one or more sets of sockets, with each set of sockets being for receiving an electrical plug.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which; Figure 1 shows a cable reel of the present invention; Figure 2 is another view of the cable reel shown in Figure 1; Figure 3 is another view of the cable reel shown in Figure 1; Figure 4 shows the other side of the cable reel to that shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3; Figure 5 is an exploded view of the cable reel shown in Figures 1 -4; Figure 6 is an exploded view like Figure 5 but shows some of the components in Figure 5 connected together; and Figure 7 illustrates the operating principle of the cable reel shown in Figures 1-6.
Referring to the drawings, there is shown a cable reel 2 comprising a hub 4 and an electrical cable 6 which is able to be wound and unwound on the hub 4. The cable reel 2 comprises a winding handle 8 for rotating the hub 4 for winding and unwinding the cable 6 on the hub 4.
The cable reel 2 is such that it has a first side 10 which rotates with the hub 4, and which is located at a first end portion 12 of the hub 4.
The cable reel 2 has a second side 14 which does not rotate with the hub 4.
The cable reel 2 includes a cable protecting arrangement 16 which rotates with the hub 4 and which is located at a second end portion 18 of the hub 4. The cable-protecting arrangement 16 is spaced apart from an inner face 20 of the second side 14 of the cable reel 2 by a gap 21. Thus the cable-protecting arrangement 16 maintains the cable 6 out of contact with the second side 14 of the cable reel 2 when the cable 14 is being wound and unwound on the hub 4. Without the cable-protecting arrangement 16, the cable 6 would rub on the inner face 20 of the second side 14. Friction would be generated which would make it more difficult to wind and unwind the cable 6 on the hub 4. Also, there is no rubbing contact between the cable 6 and the inner face 20, which rubbing contact might damage the cable 6.
The cable-protecting arrangement 16 is a disc which forms a flange on the hub 4. The cable-protecting arrangement 16 is provided with sets of apertures 22 as shown in Figure 3.
* The cable reel 2 comprises a circular housing portion 24. The second side 14 forms part of the circular housing portion 24. The circular housing portion 24 has a slot 26 through which the cable 6 passes. The slot 26 is a large slot extending approximately one quarter of the way around the circumference of the circular housing portion 24.
The cable reel 2 also includes a cable guide 28 for preventing tangling of the cable 6 with the winding handle 8 during the winding and unwinding of the cable 6. The cable guide 28 comprises a first guide wing 30 and a second guide wing 32. The first and second guide wings 30, 32 extend one On either side of the winding handle 8 as shown. The cable guide 28 includes a pair of spaced apart guide arms 34 which connect to the winding handle 8. As shown in Figure 5, the winding handle 8 has a hand grip knob 36 and a stub anchor portion 38. The stub anchor portion 38 is positioned at the outer end 40 of an arm 42. As can be seen from the drawings, the winding handle 8 extends beyond the circumference of the first side 10. The arm 42 is a radially-extending arm and the hand grip knob 36 extends radially and transversely of the radially-extending arm 42. The first and second guide wings 30, 32 are located adjacent a side of the radially-extending arm 42 and opposite the hand grip knob 36.
As shown in Figure 4, the cable reel 2 comprises a carrying handle 44.
The carrying handle 44 is a recessed formation 46 in the second side 14 of the cable reel 2. The recessed formation 46 comprises first and second overhanging portions 48, 50. The first and second overhanging.portions 48, are on opposite sides of the recessed formation 46 and they provide grip * for fingers of a person carrying the cable reel 2.
Figures 5 and 6 show how the cable protecting arrangement 16 is formed as a separate component having an upstanding rim 52 with inner clip portions 54 which clip into apertures 56 in the hub 4. Figures 5 and 6 also show a support member 58 having a formation 60 for receiving a complementarily-shaped portion (not shown) inside the hub 4.
Figure 7 shows how the cable-protecting arrangement 16 is spaced apart from the inner face 20 of the second side 14 by the gap 21. Figure 7 also shows how the first side 10 is spaced apart from the circular side wall 62 of the cable reel 2 by a gap 64. As can be appreciated from Figure 7, the hub 4 and the first side 10 rotate on a central support portion 66 with the only bearing surface being a bearing surface 68.
It is to be appreciated that the embodiment of the invention described above with reference to the accompanying drawings has been given by way of example only and that modifications may be effected. Thus, for example, the cable-protecting arrangement 16 may alternatively be an apertured arrangement on the hub, such for example as an apertures arrangement in the form a spider's web. Instead of the cable-protecting arrangement 16 being spaced apart from the inner face 20 of the second side 14 of the cable reel by the gap 21, the cable-protecting arrangement could comprise a plurality of tiny friction-reducing members, for example lugs, which rub on the inner face of the second side 14. The first side 10 is shown with four sets of three apertures 52, each for receiving the three pins of a three-pin plug. More or less sets of the apertures 52 may be employed. In the cable-protecting * arrangement 16, the apertures 22 shown in Figure 3 may be omitted, in which case the cable-protecting arrangement 16 will be in the form of a solid flange or plate. The cable reel 2 is manufactured in various parts as shown in Figure 5. These parts include bracing lengths 54, 56 and screws 58. If desired, various of the illustrated separate parts in Figure 5 may be manufactured together.
