  • REEL FOR USE WITH CABLE ELEMENTS
    Publication number: 20110247750
    Abstract: A lightweight cable-dispensing reel assembled from two identical components, each manufactured from a single mold. The reel reduces the number of processes and parts used in the manufacturing process by providing a more efficient one-mold design which eliminates the use of screws, nuts, bolts, or bosses. A pair of identical side flange members are axially coupled together by a plurality of male and female snap connectors formed integrally on inwardly facing surfaces of the side flange members defining therebetween a cylindrical gap and hub for receiving a coil of wire. The snap connectors include a plurality of circumferentially spaced female connectors formed on a flange having an arcuate length of approximately 180 degrees. The arcuate flange circumferentially aligns with an identical arcuate flange on the other flange member when joined to form the wire supporting hub.
