  • Split reel with quick-release flange
    Patent number: 4462555
    Abstract: A split reel (10), particularly adapted for temporarily storing a wound supply of elongated material, such as scrap wire, includes a cylindrical hub (12) having a first flange (14) fixedly secured to one end, and a second flange (16) releasably secured to the other end thereof. The releasable flange (16) is uniquely secured to the hub through the use of two identical quick-release locking mechanisms (21, 22) which are preferably mutually disposed relative to the axis of the reel (10). With reference to only representative locking mechanism (21), it includes two cooperatively engaging portions, one portion including a releasable flange-mounted cylindrical member (23) that is positioned and dimensioned to be telescopically received within a second portion, comprising a hub-mounted cylindrical member (24). The hub-mounted cylindrical member (24) is preferably formed with a pair of circumferentially spaced detent-receiving slots (33, 34) that communicate with an interior detent-receiving locking notch (38a or b).
