A deconstructable coiled tubing spool is disclosed and includes one or more flange segments, and a core comprising a flange portion that is adapted to couple and decouple from each of the one or more flange segments, wherein the core remains intact when the one or more flange segments are decoupled from the flange portion. One or more of the deconstructable coiled tubing spools can be deconstructed and stored in a standard shipping container for shipment.

A motorized flat web winder has a revolving work holder and a source of drive for turning the revolving work holder. The revolving work holder presents a generally planar support surface. The source of drive turns the revolving work holder about a turning axis. The generally planar support surface cuts the turning axis more or less perpendicularly. The generally planar support surface has a spaced pair of keeper pins extending out from an affixed butt end to a spaced tip end. Preferably, the keeper pins are off-center relative the turning but orbit about the turning axis in a near orbit. More preferably still, the keeper pins orbit the turning axis by a measure which makes either of the brass coupling ends of a fire hose the center of a spiral coil formed therefrom.

Technology is provided for a cable management spool assembly. The cable management spool assembly includes a spool and one or more arcuate covers. The spool includes a flange portion having a first side configured to confront a mounting surface and a second side opposite the first side. A drum portion extends from the second side of the flange portion and one or more latches extend away from the first side of the flange portion. The latches are positioned to engage one or more corresponding mounting features of the mounting surface. The arcuate covers are coupled to the spool and are pivotable between an open position where a cable may be wound on the drum portion and a closed position where the cable is retained on the drum portion.

The present invention relates to a cable spool arrangement for use in automated cable winding applications, said cable spool arrangement comprising a first core half and a second core half, each one of the first and second core halves comprising an outer wall having a conical section, wherein each one of said first core half and said second core half comprises a connecting arrangement configured to connect said first core half and said second core half together, and comprising at least one protrusion and at least one recess. The present invention also relates to a stackable cable spool half.

A device for receiving an extruded elastomer strand, during the transport thereof to a processing location, including a reel that receives the elastomer strand as a winding, wherein the moving reel is provided for temporary inclusion into a production facility that continuously processes the elastomer strand, by rotation of the reel, to form seals for doors or boots of vehicle bodies. The average thickness of the reel resulting from the total mass and the total volume of the material of the reel is <2.5 g/cm.sup.3.

A foldable wire caddy includes a first mounting support, a second mounting support, and a primary mounting bar. The wire reels are positioned along a structural body of the primary mounting bar which is then positioned in between the first mounting support and the second mounting support. A locking screw and a screw-receiving channel of a locking mechanism are used to secure the primary mounting bar in a functional position with the first mounting support and the second mounting support. A carrying handle which is removably and rotatably mounted onto the primary mounting bar allows the foldable wire caddy to be transported from one location to another.

A system for winding wire includes a wire take-up unit and a wire cutter/grabber unit. The take-up unit includes rotatable first and second mandrel portions, and a wire directing traverse arranged to feed wire and alternately form coils on the first and second mandrel portions. The cutter/grabber unit is configured to cut the wire at a cut position between the traverse and a coil formed on the first mandrel portion and to grab a free end of the cut wire and move along a predefined cutter/grabber pathway to a hand-off position where the wire is transferred to the second mandrel portion. As the cutter/grabber is moved along the pathway from the cut to the hand-off position, a length of wire between the traverse and the free end of the wire does not decrease, and that length of wire is longer at the hand-off position than at the cut position.

A stackable spool cable manager assembly may include a plurality of like cable manager spools. The cable manager spools may include a locking mechanism such that the cable manager spools can be stacked and such that when locked together a cable support arm of each the cable manager spools is offset from the others. A magnet may also be provided, for example, for securing to a bottom one of a stack of cable manager spools such that they can be secured to a metal tray or the like.

A linear body that may be smoothly removed from a bobbin. The bobbin includes a guide tube, a pair of flanges provided on the ends of the guide tube, and a winding drum sandwiched between the pair of flanges. One flange is removably attached to one end of the guide tube and the other flange is fixedly secured to the other end of said guide tube. The winding drum includes a plurality of split drum plates separated by a plurality of slits. A biasing mechanism for biasing each split drum plate inwardly is provided. When the detachable flange has been attached, the split drum plates are supported at both ends from the inner side thereof by supporting projections on the inner surface of each of the flanges. When the detachable flange is removed, the split drum plates move inwardly owing to the respective biasing mechanisms.

A pair of flanges attachable to the arbor hole of a reel is disclosed. The flanges provide a mechanism to allow the reel to be easily loaded, and lifted into place. Once loaded into place, the flanges may include a locking mechanism that locks the reel in place, centered on the flanges. Additionally, the flanges are attachable using a hub that allows them to rotate independently from one another, and from the reel to which they are attached.
