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.

A spindle for dispensing a roll of paper product is described. The spindle has an elongated member rotatably coupled with two side members. The side members have different sections of various diameters, which are configured to allow a portion of the side members to be inserted into a hollow interior of the elongated member. The elongated member has sufficient elasticity to provide a snap connection with the side members. The side members are configured to engage a track in a dispenser. Furthermore, at least one of the side members is removable. Also described herein is a roller assembly for adapting a dispenser. The assembly comprises a spindle rotatably coupled with a housing. The housing includes a fastener for attaching the housing to a dispenser. The roller assembly is configured to raise a roll of paper product, thus allowing dispensers originally designed for core rolls to be used with coreless rolls.

A reel includes a first reel member and a second reel member. The first reel member includes a first barrel portion, a first flange portion, and a first hub portion, and the second reel member includes a second barrel portion, a second flange portion, and a second hub portion. The first barrel portion and the second barrel portion are configured to be coupled with one another. The first barrel portion includes an inner wall and an outer wall that are spaced apart from one another in a radial direction of the first barrel portion, and the first barrel portion, the first flange portion, and the first hub portion are portions of a first single piece structure of unitary construction.

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 bobbin insert includes a head, a stem extending from the head, and an attachment member connected to the stem. A system for storing or labeling a bobbin includes a bobbin having a first opening on a first end of the bobbin and a second opening on a second end of the bobbin opposite the first end. The bobbin further includes a through-hole extending from the first opening to the second opening. The system further includes an insert having a head, a stem extending from the head, and an attachment member connected to the stem. The stem is configured to be inserted into the through-hole through the first opening, and at least a portion of the attachment member is configured to extend out of the second opening. A method for storing or labeling a bobbin includes inserting a stem of an insert into a through-hole of the bobbin.
