Foldable wire caddy
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.
Cable reel with barrel storage
A cable, cable component and reel arrangement includes a cable, at least one component, such as a cable component, configured to be employed in connection with the cable, and a reel, on which the cable is arranged, the reel having a barrel opening. The barrel opening includes a plurality of brackets, the brackets are arranged at spaced locations within the barrel opening and configured to support at least one component for storage and shipment.
CABLE REEL WITH BARREL STORAGE
A cable, cable component and reel arrangement includes a cable, at least one component, such as a cable component, configured to be employed in connection with the cable, and a reel, on which the cable is arranged, the reel having a barrel opening. The barrel opening includes a plurality of brackets, the brackets are arranged at spaced locations within the barrel opening and configured to support at least one component for storage and shipment.
Fiber demarcation point and slack storage
A cable spool includes first and second curved flanges extending radially outwardly from first and second axial ends of a drum. The flanges have outer edges that cooperate to define an annular slot providing access to a passageway surrounding the drum. The slot has a width that is less than half the height of the drum. A cable is wrapped around the drum. A closure having an environmentally sealed interior may receive an end of the cable. A second cable can be deployed from a second spool and coupled to the end of the cable within the closure. The second spool can be mounted with the cable spool. A cover can be placed over the spools for aesthetic or protection reasons.
Apparatus and method for packaging wire or cable in a barrel or drum container
An apparatus for the accumulation of wire or cable, the apparatus including a collapsible reel assembly, the collapsible reel assembly including a central hollow arbor, a fixed inner support structure axially centered on and rigidly attached to the central hollow arbor, wherein the fixed inner support has a first end and a second end, a fixed flange, axially centered on and attached to the first end of the fixed inner support structure, a removable flange, axially centered on and removably attached to the second end of the fixed inner support structure opposite the fixed flange and an inner drum assembly. The inner drum assembly including a plurality of moving inner support structures movably attached to the fixed inner support structure and a plurality of inwardly-collapsible drum segments. Wherein the inwardly-collapsible drum segments collapse inward after the removable flange is removed from the collapsible reel assembly.
Coiled wire winding spool with self-centering removable endform assembly
A spool endform assembly includes an endform with a central collar that are configured to rotate about a rotational axis. The spool endform assembly further includes a mount sub-assembly configured to be mounted in a fixed orientation on a mounting structure (such as movable arm). The spool endform assembly is further configured to permit misalignment of the fixed orientation of the mount sub-assembly relative to the rotational axis of the endform and central collar. In embodiments, controlled movement of the mounting structure can be used to connect the spool endform assembly to a rotatable mandrel of a wire winding spool and disconnect the spool endform assembly from the rotatable mandrel. By permitting misalignment of the fixed orientation of the mount sub-assembly relative to the rotational axis of the endform and central collar, the spool endform assembly makes it easier to connect the spool endform assembly to the rotatable mandrel and to disconnect the spool endform assembly from the rotatable mandrel. Other features and aspects are described and/or claimed.
Deconstructable coiled tubing spool and method of shipping same
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.
Coiled Wire Winding Spool with Self-Centering Removable Endform Assembly
A spool endform assembly includes an endform with a central collar that are configured to rotate about a rotational axis. The spool endform assembly further includes a mount sub-assembly configured to be mounted in a fixed orientation on a mounting structure (such as movable arm). The spool endform assembly is further configured to permit misalignment of the fixed orientation of the mount sub-assembly relative to the rotational axis of the endform and central collar. In embodiments, controlled movement of the mounting structure can be used to connect the spool endform assembly to a rotatable mandrel of a wire winding spool and disconnect the spool endform assembly from the rotatable mandrel. By permitting misalignment of the fixed orientation of the mount sub-assembly relative to the rotational axis of the endform and central collar, the spool endform assembly makes it easier to connect the spool endform assembly to the rotatable mandrel and to disconnect the spool endform assembly from the rotatable mandrel. Other features and aspects are described and/or claimed.

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.
Reuseable Spool
A reusable spool has a base and an upper flange. The base has a basal flange and an outer tube having a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, and multiple assembling portions. The first end of the outer tube is connected to the basal flange. The multiple assembling portions are connected to the outer tube, disposed adjacent to the second end of the outer tube, and disposed distantly away from the basal flange. The upper flange is screwed with the base and has a plate and a connecting portion. The plate is disposed parallel to and spaced from the basal flange, and abuts against the second end of the outer tube. The connecting portion is formed at a middle portion of the plate and connected to the multiple assembling portions. The reusable spool is refillable and environmentally friendly.
