Description

Sept. 11, 1962 H. c. STEWART REEL FOR METAL SNAKES Filed Jan. 8, 1960 FIG. 3
INVENTOR. HAROLD C. STEWART ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,053,472 REEL FOR METAL SNAKES Harold C. Stewart, RD. 1, Cortland, Ohio Filed Jan. 8, 1960, Ser. No. 1,306 Claims. (Cl. 242-96) of a reel which may be readily formed of a relatively few parts and which will act to receive and coil a relatively stiff elongated metal snake in an outer rotating portion of the reel.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a reel wherein the hub portion is of relatively large diameter and a housing is rotatably mounted thereon and arranged to receive and coil a metal snake thereabout.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a reel for receiving and coiling an elongated metal snake and incorporating guide means for feeding the metal snake into the reel.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a reel for receiving and coiling a metal snake and including guide means extending outwardly therefrom through which said metal snake is trained and wherein said guide means incorporates a handle and a cam for engaging and holding the metal snake relative thereto.
The reel disclosed herein is particularly adapted for receiving and coiling a relatively stiff elongated section of wire of rectangular cross section known in the art as a snake and commonly used by an electrician for pulling wires and cables through pipes and conduits. Such metal snakes are first pushed through a conduit and a wire or cable secured to an end thereof and the snake then pulled backwardly through the conduit pulling the wire or cable therethrough.
It has heretofore been customary to use reels having a fixed hub about which the metal snakes are coiled when not in use. Alternate means for carrying the metal snakes comprise a frame having radially extending circumferentially spaced arms the outer ends of which are turned inwardly to form an area in which the snake may be manually coiled. Such devices are cumbersome and coiling a metal snake therein is difiicult and they in no way contribute to the uncoiling of the snake when it is being used.
The present invention relates to a reel wherein a disclike hub is stationary and an enlarged housing is rotatably mounted on the hub and positioned thereabout so that a metal snake may be fed thereinto through a combination guide tube and handle on the hub where the metal snakes normal tendency to straighten out will cause it to coil in the outermost annular area of the rotatable housing.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being the intention to cover all changes and modifications of the example of the invention herein chosen for purposes of the disclosure, which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a side view of the reel for a metal snake.
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged vertical section on line 2-2 of FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged cross section through a portion of the guide tube, handle and locking device of the reel shown in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 4 is a cross section on line 4-4 of FIG- URE 3.
By referring to the drawings and FIGURES 1 and 2 in particular it will be seen that the reel for a metal snake comprises a circular disc 10 which is centrally apertured at 11 and provided with a hub 12 extending sidewardly from the disc 10 and through which hub 12 the aperture '11 extends. An annular flange 13 is formed on one side of the disc 10 adjacent the peripheral edge thereof, the flange 13 defines a modified spiral in that one end 13A thereof (as best shown in broken lines in FIGURE 1) is spaced inwardly with respect to the peripheral edge of the disc 10 while the remaining annular section thereof follows the peripheral edge of the disc 10 to a point approximately /8 of a full circle and terminates at a point 13B.
The disc 10 is provided with a curved combination guide tube and handle 14 which extends exteriorly thereof and includes a straight section 14A having a tubular handle 15 formed on its outermost end. The curved portion of the guide tube 14 is also offset from the center.
line of its longitudinal section 14A and thereby extends through the disc 10* and terminates immediately adjacent the end 13A of the flange 13 heretofore refrered to. A steel snake S pushed through the guide tube 14 as shown in FIGURE 2 of the drawings will therefore emerge on the outer side of the end 13A of the flange 13 on the disc 10 and within the area defined by a rotatable housing 16-.
The rotatable housing 16 includes a tubular bearing 17 which is rotatably mounted on the hub 12 heretofore referred to and a bolt 18 having an enlarged head 19 is positioned through the aperture 11 in the hub 12 so that the head 19 overlies part of the housing 16. A nut 20 positioned on the bolt :18 secures the assembly in a rotatable manner. The housing 16 has a curved outer annular edge 21 which is secured to an annular member 22 the innermost portion of which defines a circular opening in which the disc 10 is positioned.
It will thus be seen that the housing 16 forms an enclosure about the peripheral edge of the disc 10 and the flange 13 thereof and spaced with respect thereto so that the snake S led thereinto through guide tube 14, due to its tendency to straighten out, will form a coil in the outer annular portion of the area enclosed by the housing 16 at such time as the housing 16 is revolved on the hub 10 as by feeding the snake S thereinto.
It will thus be seen that the reel for metal snakes as disclosed herein provides a hollow housing of annular shape, in which the stiff elongated metal snake S will coil when fed thereinto. It will also be seen that the annular housing prevents the accidental escape of the metal snake and at the same time protects it and forms a convenient means of carrying the same.
By referring now to FIGURES 1, 3 and 4 of the drawings it will be seen that the tubular handle 15 is provided with a detachable lock mechanism which comprises a tubular body member 23 through which the metal snake S is positioned and has a movable cam 24 having an upstanding integral lever 25 arranged to engage the metal snake S and hold it in stationary relation to the body member 23. A spring 26 positioned in the body member 23 normally urges the lever 25 away from the body member 23 and thereby pushes the cam 24 out of registry with the metal snake S. When the tubular handle 15 and the locking device 23 is used to pull the metal snake S Patented Sept. 11, 1962" locks it securely to the body member 23 and the tubular handle 15. It will thus be seen that a workman may conveniently hold the reel by the tubular handle 15 and by moving his arm back and forth and alternately locking and unlocking the cam 24 the snake S may be pulled from a conduit and coiled in the reel simultaneously with a minimum of effort. The cam 24 is pivoted to the body member 23 by a pivot pin 27 as best shown in FIG- URE 4 of the drawings. It will thus be seen that a reel for a metal snake has been disclosed which provides a convenient and practical means of holding and coiling the metal snake and that the reel as disclosed herein therefore meets the several objects of the invention, having thus described my invention What I claim is:
1.
