  • Patent number: 9604742
    Abstract: Provided is a method for packing a cable having a static friction coefficient of 0.15 or more and 0.50 or less, a dynamic friction coefficient of 0.10 or more and 0.40 or less and a bending rigidity of 60 gf or more and 350 gf or less. The method includes the steps of: (1) winding the cable into a figure-of-eight shape to form a cylindrical cable bundle, (2) winding a wrapping film as a restraining member, which restrains the cable bundle, around an outer circumferential portion of the cable bundle, (3) winding a wrapping film as a closing member which closes openings on both ends of the cable bundle, and (4) housing the cable bundle being wound with the restraining member and the closing member in a housing container.

  • Publication number: 20110132786
    Abstract: A packing configuration of a cable hardly collapsing the cylindrical shape of a cable bundle and hardly producing a bending tendency and a knot on the cable. The packing configuration includes the cylindrical cable bundle formed by coiling the cable in an 8-shape, a binding member which is disposed on the outer peripheral part of the cable bundle and which binds the cable bundle, and a storage container for storing the cable bundle and the binding member.
