A one hand spinning reel system includes a fixed spool and a bail coupled to a trigger switch for opening and optionally closing the bail, and a solid spindle coupled to a motor that is controlled by a motor switch. When the one hand spinning reel system is affixed to a fishing rod, the trigger switch and the motor switch can be operated, and the fishing line can be controlled, using the same hand used to hold the fishing rod and to cast the fishing line.

A storage unit includes a wound body made of wound linear material and a storage body that stores the wound body. The wound body includes a first spiral part in which the wound linear material is spirally wound in a first winding direction such that a distance between the wound linear material of the first spiral part and a center of the wound body gradually decreases, a first inversion part, disposed inside the first spiral part, that inverts a winding direction of the wound linear material from the first winding direction to a second winding direction opposite to the first winding direction, and a second spiral part, disposed outside the first inversion part, in which the wound linear material is spirally wound in the second winding direction such that a distance between the wound linear material of the second spiral part and the center gradually increases.

A method of winding bulked continuous filament yarn is disclosed, which enables superior yarn package formation, including higher density packages with excellent shape and yarn takeoff characteristics. The method uses unique helix angles and winding profiles in a non-adjacent and adjacent yarn pattern, achieved by a unique winding control strategy that constantly monitors spindle speed, desired wind ratio, traverse cam speed, and surface speed.

Packaged dispensers mountable to optical network terminals (ONT) are disclosed. In some examples, the dispensers include coreless wound coils and excess storage areas. Additionally, fiber optic cable distribution systems and methods thereof utilizing the disclosed coreless wound coils are further disclosed. In one example, a length of telecommunications cable is wound into a coreless coil that includes a plurality of winding separators at least partially embedded within the coil, wherein the length of telecommunications cable alternately passes on one of the first and second sides of one winding separator and on the other of the first and second sides of an adjacent winding separator. In one example, an initially cylindrically shaped coreless wound coil, with or without winding separators, can be placed into a non-round package in which the wound coil is deformed and compressed by the sidewalls of the package such that the coreless wound coil conforms to the interior perimeter of the package to have a non-cylindrical shape.

A payout tube for enabling payout of a consumable filament from a consumable assembly that is configured for use with an additive manufacturing system, the payout tube comprising a tip end having an inlet opening, a base end having an outlet opening, and a tube body having an average effective outer diameter that is substantially greater than an effective inner diameter of the inlet opening.

A cable accommodating body includes one or more cable bundles made of a wound cable and not having any winding core and one or more first containers accommodating the one or more cable bundles and having a first outlet and a second outlet through each of which the wound cable is pulled out from an inside of the one or more first containers.

The invention concerns an improved yarn package and a method winding a package of high Young's modulus yarn. The package has a low normalized standard deviation in unwinding tension and hence is very suitable for converting into a range of yarn constructions and particularly medical products.
