The present disclosure relates to a cable reel comprising: a tubular main body extending along a longitudinal axis (L), comprising a plurality of tubular sections successively arranged side by side along the longitudinal axis (L) and releasably interconnected one to another; a first flange positioned at a first end of the main body, releasably connected to a first tubular section of the plurality of tubular sections; a second flange positioned at a second end of the main body, releasably connected to a last tubular section of the plurality of tubular sections, wherein each tubular section comprises at least two arcuate sections releasably interconnected in circumferential direction.

A collapsible reel having a high strength to weight ratio is provided. The collapsible reel comprises a core, around which a flexible media is wound, and flanges which prevent the wound flexible media from migrating axially off the core. The core is formed of first and second blanks having core portions and a plurality of spaced apart arms or tabs projecting from the core portions.

A reel for storing a cable coil includes first and second facing flanges. First, second and third cylindrical rods define a hub and have first ends attached to the first flange and opposite, second ends extending through holes formed in the second flange. A guidepost has a first end attached to the first flange and a second end passing through an opening in the second flange. A lock set allows a distance between the first and second flanges to be selected. Attachment positions of the first ends of the cylindrical rods to the first flange are manually or automatically adjustable to change a diameter of the hub. Bushings within end openings of the guidepost control the rotation payout speed of the reel, and a parking park feature is provided at the second end of the guidepost to block rotation of the reel.

A spool has a first flange and a second flange. A barrel extends between the first flange and the second flange. A movable hub is located radially inward of the barrel. The barrel is axially wider than the movable hub and the movable hub is axially movable between a first operational position adjacent the first flange and a second operational position adjacent the second flange. The movable hub includes an axially-extending cantilevered detent arm forming a stop surface that limits axial movement of the movable hub toward one of the first flange and the second flange.

A cable reel of the present disclosure can include two flanges and a central drum being independently rotatable from one another. The drum, which can be configured to receive a cable, can be mounted on an axle. The two flanges can be rotationally mounted on the axle at opposing distal ends of the axle. Bearings in the flanges can allow for a full rotation of the flanges about the axle. The cable reel can also include a locking pin for locking rotation of a flange with rotation of the drum.

A spool has a first flange and a second flange. A barrel extends between the first flange and the second flange. A movable hub is located radially inward of the barrel. The barrel is axially wider than the movable hub and the movable hub is axially movable between a first operational position adjacent the first flange and a second operational position adjacent the second flange. The movable hub includes an axially-extending cantilevered detent arm forming a stop surface that limits axial movement of the movable hub toward one of the first flange and the second flange.

A reel apparatus includes a first plurality of spokes extending between and detachably attached to a first hub and a first ring, a second plurality of spokes extending between and detachably attached to a second hub and a second ring, and a plurality of staves extending between and detachably attached to the first and second plurality of spokes. The first and second rings each comprise at least two detachable segments collectively forming a circumference of the respective first and second rings. The at least two detachable segments each have multiple detachable ends allowing the respective first and second rings to be broken down into the at least two completely detached segments detached at their respective multiple detachable ends. The first and second hubs each comprise opposed detachable portions disposed on opposed sides of the respective first and second plurality of spokes to which they are respectively detachably attached.

A collapsible reel having a high strength to weight ratio is provided. The collapsible reel comprises a core, around which a flexible media is wound, and flanges which prevent the wound flexible media from migrating axially off the core. The core is formed of first and second blanks having core portions and a plurality of spaced apart arms or tabs projecting from the core portions.

A two piece winding core assembly is provided having a first core portion and a second core portion. The two core portions having the same construction and are positionable to combine together to form a completed cylindrical and hollow core. The two core portions having a series of locking pins and a corresponding series of receiving openings formed on opposing end faces. A series of axially elongated projections and a corresponding series of axially elongated channels are also formed on the opposing end faces of the core portions. An internal plurality of web members is formed in a structural crossing pattern on the inside surface of the core portion, with the web members providing structural rigidity to the core portions.

A reel system that includes a drum that receives a coil of flexible pipe. A first flange that removably couples to a first side of the drum. A second flange that removably couples to a second side of the drum. The first flange and the second flange secure the coil of flexible pipe to the drum.
