Definitions

  • the specification discloses a cable package or dispenser for army telephone cable, comprising a cable coil with a hollow center, two annular side members of strong, flexible material and a belt of strong, flexible material overlying the outer periphery of the coil. Holes are provided at the outer periphery of the side members, which are kept tightly together by a lacing extending through the holes and overlying the belt.
  • the present invention relates to a cable package or dispenser for army telephone cable, comprising two annular side members of flexible material adapted to be threaded onto a mandrel upon which the cable is wound, and to be interconnected at the outer periphery after a cable coil has been wound between the side members, so as to form a closed package, which can then be detached from the mandrel and in use permits the cable to be paid out from the central opening formed in the coil by the mandrel.
  • the belt may also carry supporting rings for securing the package on supporting frames or the like. Thereby the load on the supporting rings will be transferred to the periphery of the package and, through the lacing, place approximately equal loads in the two side members which will therefore not be mutually dis- 7 placed.
  • Such a package or dispenser constitutes a package that can be used once only, since it is not possibleto bring a laid cable back into the dispenser and the adhesive tape cannot be removed economically in such a way that the side members, which are usually made of canvas, can be used once more in a new dispenser. Further, the manufacturing of the dispenser with the cable is relatively time-consuming and must be performed very carefully for the result to be satisfactory. The known dispensers can therefore not be manufactured in the field. The advantages of the dispenser, which primarily are based upon a significantly simplified laying of the cable, are therefore only present the first time the cable is used. In the field the cable must be reeled on spools.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method for packaging army telephone cable, which can be used several times and permits already laid cable to be packed in the field.
  • a belt is placed so that it substantially covers the periphery of the cable coil and then the peripheral portions of the side members are interconnected.
  • the peripheral portions of the side members are provided with holes through which a cord is laced in a fashion to pull the side members tightly together into a closed package.
  • the holes are preferably provided in flaps or lugs of strong material secured to the side members at the periphery and overlying the belt.
  • the belt closes the package at the periphery, and the lacing provides the necessary tensioning for keeping the coil together and giving it the necessary stability.
  • a lacing may be used under, almost any conditions in the field and can easily be released when the dispenser is empty in order to dismantle the various components of the dispenser (two side members and a belt) for reuse.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrate various stages in the assembly of a package or dispenser formed in accordance with the principles of this invention.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the finished dispenser
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 there is indicated a simple reeling apparatus 1 that may be carried by a person or attached to, for instance, a vehicle.
  • the apparatus comprises a fork in which there is rotatably mounted a reeling mandrel that may be rotated by means of a crank 2 through a gear 3.
  • the mandrel which is not visible in the drawing, has two side plates 4 and 5, at least one of which is detachable.
  • two annular side members 6 of canvas are threaded onto the mandrel between two side plates 4 and 5, and incontact with either of these plates.
  • the canvas side members 6 are provided with flaps or lugs 7 of a strong material such as leather at the periphery.
  • each flap 7 there is provided a hole 8 which is reinforced by a grommet.
  • the flaps and the marginal portions of the side members 6 are fastened around the edge of the plates 4 and 5 in a position as illustrated in FIG. 1, e.g. by means of a rope (not shown) threaded through the holes 8.
  • the cable 9 is then wound onto the mandrel between the side members 6 and as it is wound, the cable is guided back and forth between the side members 6 at a relatively fast pitch.
  • a belt 10 is placed around the cable coil.
  • the belt 10 which is made of strong woven material, canvas or the like, has a width and a length so as substantially to cover the periphery of the cable coil. In several positions around the periphery the belt 10 carries supporting rings ll.of metal for securing the package during transport.
  • the flaps 7 and the marginal portions of the side members 6 are folded so as to overlie the belt, and a rope 12 is threaded through the holes 8.
  • the rope 12 is then strongly tensioned and 'fii'mly knotted so as to provide a close and tightly-lacedipaekage 13 as'shown in FIG. 5.
  • the mandrel, the side plates 4 and 5 and the interjacent package 13 is now released from the apparatus 1 as illustrated in FIG. 4, whereupon the side plates and the mandrel are detached from the package 13.
  • the mandrel may be slightly tapered or adapted to be constricted in the radial direction so as to be easily retractible from the cable coil.
  • the mandrel leaves a central opening 14, through which the cable ends may extend so as to permit the cable to be paid out for being laid in the field.
  • the package also has the advantage of having a long storage life since it is kept together only by mechanical elements and is not dependent upon the aging resistance of adhesives or the like.
  • a method of packaging communication cable in the coiled form in the field comprising the steps of:
  • step of holding said margin means comprises folding said margin means over the peripheral edge of said rigid plates and lacing through said lace receiving means to hold said side members in place.
  • step of wrapping cable around said mandrel is performed by guiding the cable back and forth between said side members at a relatively fast pitch.
  • said lacing step comprises threading a rope through said apertures in an alternating fashion between said flexible side members with a resulting zig-zag pattern being formed by said rope in an overlying relation with said belt.
  • a method as defined in claim 4, wherein said step of wrapping cable around said mandrel is performed by guiding the cable back and forth between said side members at a relatively fast pitch.
