  • Winding and unwinding apparatus incorporating wrapping arms
    Patent number: 5402959
    Abstract: Apparatus (10) for unwinding a flexible cable (C) from a storage reel (S) on which the cable is wound. The cable is wound onto a take-up drum (50). An arm mechanism (60) engages the cable and wraps it about the drum. A mechanism (64) is provided for continuously rotating the arm mechanism, this rotation unwinding a length of cable from the storage reel at the same time another length of cable is wound onto the take-up drum. In addition, a mechanism (66) is provided for simultaneously moving the arm mechanism longitudinally with respect to the drum for the cable to be wound onto the drum along the entire length thereof.
