In accordance with the invention, there is provided a unique coiling device which can be utilized to load and package a flexible member, such as rope, cable, wire, cord, or the like in a novel combined reel and container therefor which is utilized for storing the member during 2,888,214 Patented May 26, 1959 '2 shipment and for storage thereof after being shipped. This coiling device was especially designed for this combined reel and container.
The coiling device consists of two side wall discs each having a plurality of fins to reinforce the discs, and two hubs, both of which are provided with a plurality of fins which are received in slots formed in the wall discs for locking the parts together. These side wall discs and hubs after being assembled, are then suitably mounted in a frame structure on rotating shafts which are an extension of each other.
The novel combined reel and container or carton for receiving the flexible member is positioned on the hubs and its side walls are positioned adjacent the twoside wall discs. The flexible member is then loaded into the reel and carton, and the latter is then sealed after the Number 2,846,061, entitled, Combined Wire Reel and Shipping Carton.
As seen in Figs. 2, 4, and 5, each automatic coiling device 20 consists of two side discs 22 and 24 mounted for rotation on shaft 26 and 84, respectively. Shaft 26 has a square-shaped notch 28 which is spaced from its end portion 30. The other end 32 of the shaft 26 is threaded, and it receives an adjusting and locking nut 34 for holding a thrust bearing 36 on the shaft, whose use will be described more subsequently.
As best seen in Fig. 1, one coiling device 20, the one to the right in this figure, is winding a flexible wire, rope, or cable member 126, in a reel and container shown in detail in Figs. 7 to 11, while the loaded reel and container in the other coiling device 20 is being tied,
- and sealed in the reel and carton and then removed from the coiling device 20 by the operator of the machine.
The two coiling devices 20 are mounted on the ends 86 and 46 (only one of each being shown in Fig. 2) of arms 82 and 70, which, in turn, are mounted to rotate about a shaft 79 extending from the machine 120. The shaft 79 is journalled to rotate in a member 78 spaced parallel to arm 82, and secured by a pin 72 to member 70. The 'arm 82 is positioned against a stop element 81 secured to the shaft 79, and is spaced from member 78 by a collar 76. A nut 80 is screwed on the threaded end 74 of shaft 79 to hold the elements in'position.
As previously pointed out, each coiling device 20 consists of two side wall discs '22 and 24, with fins 110 to reinforce the discs, and two spider hubs 50 and 94, best seen in Figs. 2, 4 and 6, respectively, with fins 114-which are received in slots 112 formed in the wall discs 22 and 24. As shown best in Figs. 4 and 5, disc 24 is mounted on hub 50 which has a first enlarged portion 52 and a second enlarged disc portion 54. The hub 50, in turn,
is mounted on shaft 26, as shown in Fig. 5.
A steel crimping plate 56 is secured to disc portion 54 of hub 50 by a pin 64?, while a second plate 96 is secured to hub 94 by a pin 98. It is to be noted that each side wall disc 24 and 22 has an enlarged base portion 51 and 53, respectively.
A collar member 42 is mounted on the shaft 26, and it is provided with a bore 64 for receiving pins 40 which are utilized to pivotally mount the forked end 44 of an arm 62, as best seen in Figs. 2., 4, and 5. As seen in these figures, bearing 36 is positioned adjacent the forked end 44 of the arm 62, and an adjusting and locking nut 34 is placed next to the bearing 36 on the threaded end 32 of shaft 26. This adjusting nut is used to lock the arm 62 as well as the coiling device 20 in an operative posltion.
As best seen in Figs. 4 and 5, the other end of shaft 26 is provided with a square-shaped notch 28 spaced from the end portion 30 thereof, while end portion 30 is also provided with slots 30 which mate with corresponding flanges 103 located in member 103 which is a part of disc 96, as shown in Fig. 6.
An opening 105 is provided between member 103 and the end of the shaft 84 for receiving the end portion 30 of shaft 26 so that the two major sections of the coiling device can be locked together.
Referring now to Figs. 7 to 11, there is illustrated, in detail, the reel and container which is loaded in each coiling device 20. This combined reel and container or carton consists of two identical hub elements 160 and 163, as best seen in Fig. 7, and two wheel- like elements 150 and 152, which are also identical, and which are mounted radially of the hub elements 163 and 160, respectively, for receiving and storing the flexible member 126.
The hub elements 163 and 160 consist of vertical wall portions 163 and 164, respectively, and a plurality of flap portions 168 and 170 which are formed integral with the vertical wall portions 163 and 164, respectively, along their outer periphery. These flap portions 168 and 170, together with their corresponding vertical wall portions 163 and 164, form the frusto-conical shaped hub's 163 and 160, respectively. Each hub 163 and 160 is provided with an aperture for receiving the shaft 26 of the coiling device 21).
These hubs 163 and 1641 are secured together by the sharp portions 144 which are formed from slotting sections 146 out of a grommet 140. This grommet 140 is also formed with a hub 143 which has an aperture 142 for receiving the shaft 26, formed therein. This hub 143 is positioned in the apertures formed in the vertical Wall portions 163 and 164. On assembling the reel and container, the sharp portions 144 of the grommet 140 are pushed through the vertical portions 163 and 164 of the hubs 16.3 and 166 when these elements are positioned in the coiling device 20, as will be pointed out subsequently, and are then bent over to hold these elements together.
The wheel- like sections 150 and 152 of the combined reel and carton define a housing 148 for receiving and storing the flexible member 126. These sections 150 and 152 are mounted radially of the hubs 163 and 160, respectively, and are identical in shape. Each consists of a vertical wall having a plurality of outer flap elements 154 and a plurality of inner flap elements 153 and 154 for each section and 152, respectively. The outer and inner flap elements are preferably formed integral with their corresponding vertical wall portions.
The outer flap elements 154 are arranged to be flexed or bent along a curved line (a circle) at the outer edge of the vertical wall of section 150 or 152 so as to close the reel and carton after the flexible member 126 has been placed therein. The inner flap elements 153 and 155 are also arranged to be flexed or bent along a curved line (a circle) inwardly so that they can be glued to the hub elements 168 and 171 by means of a suitable cement or the like.
The hub elements as well as the wheel- type sections 150 and 152 are preferably formed of a stiff cardboard material by a stamping process. The hub elements 168 and 170 are formed by bending or flexing these elements along a circular line to form frusto-conical sections, whose ends 174 are then bent parallel with the vertical walls of sections 150 and 152 and secured to the vertical walls 150 and 152 by staples 174. The elements 168 and 153 as well as elements 170 and 155, as previously pointed out, are secured together by glue or the like.
In operation, as best shown in Fig. 4, the locking or adjusting nut 34 is loosened and the handle or lever 40 is moved clockwise after the arm 70 has been moved counter clockwise to the position shown. The two sections of the reel and container 163 and are then placed on the mating hubs 54 and 94, with the grommet 140 being positioned adjacent the vertical portion 163' of hub 163 and with the pointed portions 144 arranged to puncture vertical portions 163' and 164. Upon closing the coiling device 20 to the operative position shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the pointed portions 144 puncture the vertical wall portions 163' and 164 and are then flattened by the disc 96 against the vertical wall portion 164 to secure the parts of the reel and container together.
The flexible member 126 is then coiled on the reel, as previously pointed out, and then the reel and carton therefor is moved to the position shown in the upper left hand part of Fig. 1, where the reel and carton is closed by bending the flap elements 154 and then utilizing a piece of adhesive tape to secure the flap elements 154 in position to seal the carton to prevent the entrance of moisture and dust and the like, into the carton. The reel and carton can then be removed while the other coiling device 20, shown in the lower right part of Fig. 1, is being operated to load a different reel and container.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention can be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
