  • Patent number: 6435450
    Abstract: A multi-compartment paralleling reel that allows different sets of wire to be drawn from the paralleling reel independently of each other. The multi-compartment paralleling reel includes a plurality of independent compartments. Each independent compartment can store a set of wire. A shaft mounted through the plurality of independent compartments allows each independent compartment to rotate relative to the shaft and allows each independent compartment to rotate independently of the other independent compartments. Thus, each set of wire can be drawn from each independent compartment of the multi-compartment paralleling reel independently of the other independent compartments. This allows the different sets of wire, which may include wires that have different diameter sizes, to be drawn from the independent compartments at different rates of speed or the same speed, depending upon what is desired.
