Patent number: 11572248Abstract: A flange for use on a reel, a flange adapter, and a flange stand are provided. The flange may include an outer circumference, a hub assembly, and an arbor hole adapter that is adapted to engage an arbor hole to secure the flange to the reel. The arbor hole adapter may include an expandable portion that is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. First and second expansion plates may be coupled to the arbor hole adapter and connected by shoulder bolts that guide movement of the plates between an abutting configuration and a spaced-apart configuration, allowing movement of the expandable portion relative to the reel for modified engagement. The flange stand may include a base, a support portion, and a coupler for engaging a central extension of the flange to allow the flange to be supported in an upright position.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Southwire Company, LLCInventors: Richard Mike Temblador, Myron Dale Deese, Harry William Kent, Jr., Juan Alberto Galindo Gonzalez, James Phillip Tuggle, Franklin Clarence Calhoun

Patent number: 10828710Abstract: A cold-weld burr removal system is disclosed according to various embodiments. The cold-weld burr removal system can include a clamping block having a clamping passage that extends along an alignment axis, and a removal block having a guide passage alignment axis centered about the alignment axis. The removal block can define a burr receiving chamber. The system also can include a cutting head insert having a cutting portion and a cutting passage. The cutting head insert can removably attach to the removal block and the cutting portion can protrude into the burr receiving chamber. The system can include a linear actuator that connects the clamping block to the removal block. The linear actuator can move the removal block in a direction along the alignment axis to increase a separation distance between the clamping block and the removal block when a linear actuation initiator initiates movement of the linear actuator.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Southwire Company, LLCInventors: Shelby Glen McDaniel, Franklin Clarence Calhoun, Robert D.
