Definitions

  • This invention relates to a cable reel assembly as well as to a cable reel support for supporting a cable reel
  • Cable reels are normally used for storing and transporting cables of various kinds such as electrical cables, telecommunication cables, bailing cables, flexible tubes and other kinds of cables, wires, tubes and ropes. Often such reels loaded with a cable or similar are very heavy and difficult to handle. To alleviate the handling of such reels several types of cable reel assemblies and cable reel supports have been suggested.
  • US patent no. 5,775,621 describes a reel caddy and support stand for cable spools with a central drum and enlarged disk-like ends with central openings therein.
  • the reel caddy and support stand comprises a generally U-shaped bent handle portion having a curved end and elongated leg portions with the leg portions carrying stub spindle members adapted to be received in the spool disk like and central openings.
  • the handle and leg portions providing a hairpin like spring action when the leg portions are spread apart to insert the stubs spindle members into the central openings of the disk ends.
  • Stand leg members project at 90° angles from the stub spindle members so that the spool can be rotated and lifted about the legs and then with the handle portion on the same surface as the ends of the stand legs the spool can be freely rotated for unwinding or winding cable there from.
  • US patent no. 6,199,786 describes a reel assembly for supporting a reel and comprising an adjustable brake mechanism.
  • the reel has a central aperture and the reel support is provided with an arm configured and sized to rotatably receive the reel; the arm having a proximal end provided with a fixed abutment element having a friction surface, and a distal end; the adjustable brake mechanism comprising a pressure applying element configured and sized to be removably mounted to the distal end of the arm to bias the reel towards the fixed abutment element to thereby generate a friction force between the friction surface and the reel; the pressure applying element being longitudinally movable with respect to the arm to modify the friction force.
  • US patent no. 6,199,786 describes a cable reel lifter/transporter apparatus for elevating a heavy cable reel above a surface to permit free rotation of the reel, thereby allowing cable or tubing to be paid off the reel, and for manually transporting cable reels.
  • the cable reel lifter/transporter apparatus includes a pair of L-shaped planar frames each having a long straight handlebar arm and a relatively short straight leg which depends perpendicularly downwards from a lower surface of the handlebar. Near a front transverse end thereof, each leg has at the lower end thereof a short tubular foot.
  • a tubular bearing support protruding upwards from each handlebar rotatably supports opposite ends of a horizontal cable reel support shaft.
  • a pair of arbors slidable on the shaft has inner tapered portions insertable into a separate spindle hole in each of two disk-shaped end plates of a cable reel, and subsequently secured to the shaft to hold the shaft and cable reel in a fixed position between the frames.
  • Hand pressure exerted downwardly on the rear ends of the handlebars pivots the legs around the tubular axes of the feet, causing the cable reel support shaft and cable reel to elevate the reel end plates to a freely rotatable position above the ground.
  • Rotating the handlebars on the cable reel support shaft in an opposite direction elevates the legs and feet above the ground, allowing the rear ends of the handlebars to be grasped to push the reel rollably along a surface, the cable reel end plates serving as wheels.
  • the present invention provides a novel cable reel assembly which provides a very simple and economical handling of cable reels.
  • the cable reel assembly of the invention is both simple to transport and simple to handle manually, and furthermore unwinding of cable can be performed in a very simple way.
  • the present invention also provides a novel cable reel support for supporting a cable reel which provides a very simple and economical handling of the cable reels.
  • operable is herein meant to include any type of endless (in general about 10 meters or longer) flexible elements which can be rolled onto a reel, including but not limited to electrical cables, telecommunication cables, bailing cables, flexible tubes, optical fibers and other kinds of cables, wires, tubes and ropes.
  • the cable reel assembly of the invention comprises a reel and a reel support.
  • the reel is of the type which comprises a reel core shaft with a centre axis and a first and a second circular parallel interspaced reel end plates disposed in axial alignment with the centre axis. Such reels are well known in the art and are widely used for transportation of cables.
  • the reel of the present invention comprises a reel core with a first and a second end hub extending beyond respectively said first and said second circular parallel interspaced reel end plates.
  • the first and second end hubs should preferably extend at least about 2 mm, more preferably at least about 0.5 cm, such as at least about 1 cm beyond respectively said first and said second circular parallel interspaced reel end plates. In order to allow for some production tolerances the end hubs should preferably extend at least about 5 mm beyond the reel end plates.
  • the end hubs should not extend too long beyond the reel end plates, because this may take up too much space during transportation. In most situations it is desirable that the end hubs extend between about 1 cm and about 10 cm beyond the reel end plates.
  • the end hubs may for example be pivotably extendable to provide the optimal length in any given situation.
  • the reel support comprises a body and a handle shaft connected to each other.
  • the body and the handle shaft are arranged to have a first compact position and a second operational position in relation to each other.
  • the reel support body comprises a first and a second parallel interspaced side plates, connected to each other and comprising essentially opposite identical plate edges.
  • Each plate edge comprises a bearing edge section, and on opposite sides of the bearing edge section along the plate edge it comprises respectively a reel mounting edge section and a rear edge section.
  • the said reel mounting edge sections of said first and said second side plates comprise opposite indentations, bearing said respective first and second end hubs of the cable reel.
  • the centre axis of the cable reel is arranged at a first distance from the reel mounting edge sections. This first distance defines the depth of the indentations.
  • the bearing edge sections of said first and said second side plates have a second distance to said centre axis which is larger than said depth of said indentations.
  • the second distance is at least about 10 % larger than the first distance, such as at least about 25 % larger, such as at least about 50 % larger, such as at least about 100 % larger than the first distance.
  • the reel can easily be mounted and demounted with the reel support.
  • the cable reel with cable may be delivered mounted to a reel support. It may be transported to the customer in its first compact position e.g. stacked with other cable reel assemblies.
  • the cable reel assembly can further in its second operational position be transported in a simple manner by tipping the assembly so that it rests on the reel end plates which are then used as wheels.
  • Furthermore the cable reel assembly can in its second operational position be positioned to be supported by its bearing edge sections for simple unrolling of the cable.
  • the cable reel assembly provides a multifunctional cable reel device which simultaneously is a very strong and stable structure, which can withstand twists, pulling and pressure forces which are often applied during use.
  • the body and the handle shaft are arranged to have a first compact position and a second operational position in relation to each other.
  • the opposite plate edges each comprise a bordering edge section connecting the bearing edge section and reel mounting edge section of said respective plate edges, or connecting the bearing edge section and rear edge section of said respective plate edges.
  • the bordering edge sections of the first and the second side plates have an essentially rounded shape.
  • each plate edge connects the bearing edge section and reel mounting edge section of the respective plate edges.
  • the reel may in principle have any size. However, for very small reels it may be superfluous to place it in a reel support. On the other hand, too large reels may not be manually handable even if they are mounted in a reel support. Generally it is therefore desirable that the reel has a diameter from about 25 cm to about 200 cm, such as from about 40 cm to about 150 cm, such as about 60 cm.
  • the reel may have any width, e.g. up to about 200 cm or even up to about 300 cm.
  • the reel has a width defined as the distance between the first and the second circular parallel interspaced reel end plates, of from about 10 to about 150 cm, such as from about 25 to about 100 cm.
  • the reel may be made from any suitable material or combinations of materials which have the necessary strength, such as polymer, wood, metals, glass fibers and combinations thereof.
  • the reel is made from or comprises polymer. This polymer containing reel has the benefit of being relatively light, while simultaneously being sufficiently strong.
  • at least a part of said reel core, such as the end hubs may for example be reinforced e.g. by metal.
  • the second circular parallel interspaced reel end plates of the reel have an outer periphery reinforcement such as a metal reinforcement or tyres.
  • the reel end plates may obtain an increased lifetime even when subjected to excessive manual transportation on said reel end plates.
  • the reel support may be made from any suitable material or combinations of materials which have the necessary strength, such as polymer, wood, metals, glass fibers and combinations thereof.
  • the reel is made from or comprises polymer. This polymer containing reel support has the benefit of being relatively light, while simultaneously being sufficiently strong.
  • the reel support may comprise one or more reinforcements e.g. in the edge along the indentations.
  • the cable reel support and the cable reel should preferably be adjusted to each other such that the first and the second parallel interspaced side plates of the reel support body have a distance to each other which is sufficiently large for said side plates of the reel support body to embrace said reel end plates of the reel.
  • the first and the second parallel interspaced side plates of the reel support body have a distance to each other which is sufficiently small for the first and the second end hubs to be supported by said opposite indentations of said reel support body.
  • the end hubs may be pivotably adjustable.
  • first and the second parallel interspaced side plates may in one embodiment be connected to each other with at least one connecting member, such as at least one bar extending from the first to the second parallel interspaced side plates.
  • first and the second parallel interspaced side plates are connected to each other with at least 2 such as at least 3 connecting members.

  • the second distance is larger than said third distance and at least one connecting member is placed to connect side plates along their bearing edge sections.
  • the at least one connecting member preferably is connected to said side plates substantially in flush with their bearing edge sections. This connecting member both applies stability to the system and at the same time it may be useful for transportation purposes, e.g. for being lifted by a fork-lift.
  • the second distance is larger than the third distance and a pair of connecting members are placed at a distance from each other and in a plane substantially parallel to the bearing edge sections, so that when said bearing edge section of each of the side plates is support against a planar ground surface the plane comprising the pair of connecting members is at a distance from the planar ground surface so that the cable reel assembly can be lifted by a fork-lift where the fork of the lift is supporting the pair of connecting members.
  • the one or more connecting members may preferably provide a relatively stiff connection between the first and the second parallel interspaced side plates.
  • the one or more connecting members may preferably be pivotable to provide the desired length.
  • the one or more connecting members are collapsible e.g. by comprising a pair of hinges each.

  • the curvature should preferably provide a smooth curve for simple and ergonomically acceptable tipping of the cable reel assembly in its operational position from a rest position where it rests on its bearing edge sections to a manual transportation position where it rests on its reel end plates; and back again.
