  • FIG. 18 is a sectionon line A-A of FIG. 17.
  • a metal band 1 having a suitable width is continuously fed in a direction shown by an arrow between a pair of rollers 2, 2 each having corrugations on its surface in parallel with its axis arranged perpendicular to the side edges of the metal band 1 to form a metal band having corrugations 3.
  • one side edge 4 of the corrugated band is fed between a pair of rollers 5, 5 each having a smooth surface to deform the corrugated side edge 4 into a flat surface.
  • the corrugations 3 at the other side edge 6 become deeper and each ridge 3 separating one corrugation 3 from another approaches to adjacent ridge 3 thereby deforming the corrugated band into an annular form as shown in FIG. 1.
  • that portion of the annular corrugated body which adjoins the straight corrugated portion is cut to obtain a corrugated annular body 7 shown in FIG. 3.
  • a metal band 1 having a given length as shown in FIG. 2 may be used to obtain the corrugated annular body 7. End edges 8, 8 of the'annular corrugated body 7 may be secured together by welding, etc., to obtain a closed corrugated annular body 7 having a center opening 9 as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the corrugated annular bodies 7 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will be merely referred to as a corrugated flange.
  • the invention makes use of a U-shaped annular body 11 having two leg portions I2, 12 extending outwardly to form an annular body which is U-shaped in cross section and whose one leg portion 12 is bent perpendicular thereto to form an annular projection 13 as shown in FIG. 7 in order to connect the drum 10 to the center opening 9 of the corrugated flange 7. Then, the inner peripheral edge 6 of the corrugated flange 7 is brought into engagement with the U-shaped annular body 11 as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the corrugated flange 7 with its open end edges 8 as shown in FIG. 5 may be enlarged in diameter and then brought into engagement with the inner peripheral edge of the U-shaped annular body 11 shown in FIG. 7.
  • a U-shaped annular body with its open end edges may be reduced in diameter and then may be brought into engagement with the inner peripheral edge 6 of the close corrugated flange 7 as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the press 14 is operated to deform the leg portions 12, 12' of the U-shaped annular body 11 so as to bite them in the ridges 3' of the corrugations 3 of the corrugated flange 7 with the result that the corrugated flange 7 is clamped to and made integral with the U-shaped annular body 11 as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the drum 10 is secured to the annular projections 13 of the U-shaped annular body 1 l to construct a wire reel as shown in FIG. 6.
  • the wire reel thus constructed may be used as a small-sized wire reel.
  • a medium-sized wire reel the weight of the wire wound around the drum 10 tends to disconnect the clamped portions so that it is preferable to reinforce several clamped portions by rigidly securing the corrugated flange 7 and the leg portion 12 of the U-shaped annular body 11 by riveting or spot welding as shown in FIGS. 6 and 10.
  • a large-sized wire reel it is preferable to carry out a projection welding by causing the electric current to flow through the clamped portions simultaneously with the pressing step shown in FIG. 8.
  • Both leg portions 12, 12 of the U-shaped annular body 11 may be bent outwardly in a direction perpendicular thereto to form two annular projections 13, 13, respectively, and connect the drum 10 to one of the projections 13 and connect a reinforcing spider 21 shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 to the other projection 13.
  • reinforcing ring 16 which is U-shaped in cross section and has two leg portions 17, 17' as shown in FIG. 12.
  • the reinforcing ring 16 with its open end edges 18 may be brought into engagement with the outer peripheral edge 4 of the corrugated flange 7 shown in FIG. 4.
  • a reinforcing ring without having open end edges 18 may be brought into engagement with the outer peripheral edge 4 of the corrugated flange 7 having open end edges 8 shown in FIG. 3 after the latter has been reduced in its diameter.
  • the U-shaped annular body 11 having open end edges 19 is reduced in its diameter and then brought into engagement with the inner peripheral edge 6 of the corrugated flange 7.
  • the inner surface of the leg portion 17 of the reinforcing ring 16 may be secured to the outer peripheral edge 4 of the corrugated flange 7 by welding, etc. If desired, the inner surface of the leg portion 17 of the reinforcing ring 16 may be disposed on the outer peripheral edge 4 of the corrugated flange 7 and the assembly may be secured together by welding, etc.
  • the presses 14 and 20 are simultaneously or successively operated to deform the leg portions 12 and 12' of the U- shaped annular body 11 as described above with reference to FIG. 9 and also bend the leg portion 17' of the reinforcing ring 16 against the outer peripheral edge 4 of the corrugated flange 7, thereby clamping the reinforcing ring 16 to the corrugated flange 7 as shown in FIG. 14.
  • the reinforced wire reel thus constructed may be used as a medium-sized wire reel. But, it is preferable to further reinforce the various clamped portions by rigidly securing these portions by riveting or spot welding etc. With a large-sized reinforced wire reel it is preferable to carry outa projection welding by causing the electric current to flow through the clamped portions simultaneously with the pressing step shown in FIG. 13. If desired, a cross reinforcing spider 21 shown in FIG. 16 may be secured to the annular projection 13' of the U- shaped annular body.
