Abstract: The invention relates to a cable reel device, comprising a rack on which the cable reel is rotatable mounted. The cable reel is provided with a portion for storing cable, wire or the like, as well as flanges on either side of the portion. The device comprises a machine which is provided with at least two drive wheels. The rack with the cable reel can be placed in the machine so that the rack and the cable reel rest on the machine, so that the flanges of the cable reel are in contact with the drive wheels.

Abstract: A method and apparatus (1) for rolling up a cable (8), wire, rope or the like into a ring (38). An end part (36) of the cable (8) is fixed, by the weight from the rolled-up ring (38) of cable (8), between the rolled-up ring (38) of cable (8) and a support (48) on which the rolled-up ring (38) of cable (8) is placed. The rolled-up ring (38) of cable is advanced on the support (48) with the end part (36) fixed between the rolled-up ring (38) of cable (8) and the support (48).

Abstract: An apparatus and method for intercepting, damping and feeding a cable (1), wire, line or the like, rolled up into a coil (4), which coil (4) is intended to be fed in the radial direction of the coil (4). The apparatus includes first and second support rollers (10,11) which are rotatably arranged on first and second arms (15,16) which arms (15,16) are pivotable about first and second axes of rotation (17,18). The support rollers (10,11) and arms (15,16) are symmetrically arranged around an axis of symmetry (19) which passes through the geometric central axis (20) of the coil (4). A damper (29,30) is arranged at the respective arms and a transmission (21) is arranged on the respective axes of rotation (17,18) for symmetric control of the arms (15,16).

Abstract: A drive for machines for winding cables or similar elongate objects on and off a flanged drum having a center hole includes at least two columns and a pair of support elements that are supported by a respective one of the columns for vertical powered movements therealong. The support elements are joined to one another by a transverse telescopically extensible crossbeam. A pair of bearing bosses are each carried by respective ones of the support elements and are adapted to being inserted into the center hole of the cable drum such that, upon movement of the support elements (and hence the bearing bosses), the drum will be raised above a foundation upon which it normally rests. At least one resilient, yieldable wheel is pivotally connected to one terminal end of a link so as to be capable of resting against the flange. The link is, in turn pivotally coupled to one of the support elements.

Abstract: Apparatus for guiding the winding of a line such as an electric cable onto a drum having a central axis. The guiding apparatus is positioned in front of the drum in the winding position thereof, and the drum has a winding action and a reciprocatory movement imparted thereto parallel to and relative to the axis of the drum. The guiding apparatus includes a joint coupled with a stand, a resiliently deflectable guiding arm having one end pivotable about the joint, and a guide mechanism arranged along the arm for guiding the conveyance of the cable. The cable extends in contact with the guide mechanism and along the arm and has an advancing speed of conveyance equal to or less than the drum winding speed. The resiliently deflectable guiding arm is resiliently deflectable in a plane at a right angle to the central axis of the reel.

Abstract: A method for producing a package to receive a ring (7) of reeled wire, tube or the like cut to a predetermined length, especially an electrical line (8). The ring (7) is introduced between two substantially square panels of rigid material, e.g. cardboard or the like, with the center axis of the ring running perpendicular to the panels. A substantially tubular rigid means (10) is after introduced through both panels and the center opening of the ring (7) and is thereafter locked in the introduced position in relation to the ring (7) well as the panels. The package can be used as a reel by removing a protective shell of the package. As an alternative said tubular rigid means can be removed, whereby the line or the like is removed from the center of the package.

Abstract: A winding machine device for drawing a string-shaped article, such as an electric cable, a rope, a wire or the like, to a drum onto which said string-shaped article is to be wound, said drum being carried by mandrels which are insertable into center holes of a hub of the drum, at least one of the side walls of the drum being provided with an aperture to allow an inner end of the string-shaped article to extend from inside the drum to the outside of said side wall thereof. According to the invention a winding wheel is rigidly affixed to and coaxial with a machine driven one of said mandrels, a tracking rope or the like, one end of which is attachable to said end of said string-shaped article, being arranged to extend through said aperture in said drum wall and to be wound onto said winding wheel to draw said article to the drum and the leading end thereof through the aperture and a selected distance outside the side wall.

Abstract: A cable winding machine movable on a bedding (2) and having two vertical support members (1) interconnected by an extensible cross bar (14). The support members carry spindles (3) for supporting a cable reel (4). Each of the spindles is displaceable along its support member (1). The cable reel (4) rests on a pallet (7), except during a cable reeling or unreeling process. Lifting members (9) project at the lower part of at least one of the support members (1) for carrying the pallet (7) at the same time as the cable reel (4) is carried by the spindles (3). The lifting members (9) are resiliently suspended and assume a lower position when they are loaded by a pallet (7) with a reel (4) and assume an upper position when they are loaded with only a pallet (7). In the upper position of the lifting members (9), the pallet (7) is lifted up from the bedding (2) in order not to obstruct the movement of the cable winding machine on the bedding (2).

Abstract: A cable reeling device for winding cable upon a flanged reel comprising support means slidable along vertical side-frames and supporting a spindle, the support means being interconnected by means of an extendable shaft, in which each support means comprises a power means for moving said spindles between a first position, in which the spindle is able to freely move within a zone around intended position of the axis of the reel and a second position fixed in relation to the support means for carrying the reel turnably on the spindles.

Abstract: An automatic coiling machine steering and cutting a cable in conjunction with its reeling on a reeling device while forming coils, said machine comprising a steering unit movable in a plane substantially perpendicular to the geometrical central axis of the formed coils between two end positions, said steering unit cutting off the cable under the action of a control unit so as forcibly to move it against a knife when the desired number of coil windings has been formed.
