Abstract: A clasp is fixed onto a reel and may be original equipment in the reel, or alternatively, the spool may be a replacement or supplemental spool for use in an existing reel. The spool component of a reel includes a central core with flanges on each side to retain a line wound thereon. The spool is intended to be rotated/spun in the reel or alternatively fixed where the line feeder rotates around the spool. The clasp may be positioned on the surface of the core or on the inside surface of one of the side flanges. This way, a fishing line is anchored on the inside of a spool as the line is wound around and builds up outwardly in the spool.

A pin upstands from the outer surface of the core body, wherein, the inner side of the first flange and the inner side of the second flange are in face to face relation. The outer surface of the core body, the inner side of the first flange, and the inner side of the second flange are continuous and form a spooling region. The clip configured to fit onto the spoon and prevent slipping of the clip from the edges of the flanges.

Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board reel device, which includes a left housing, a right housing, a rotary sleeve, an upper spiral spring and a lower spiral spring. The left housing and the right housing of the reel device are caught on each other to form a housing, and the left housing and the right housing are firmly and closely fixed with each other, which can increase the connection area, whereby the left and right housings are not easily separated from each other, and the housing can have a strong structure. The upper spiral spring, the lower spiral spring, an upper central shaft and a lower central shaft of the reel device form a symmetrical and balanced double-spring structure; when a flexible printed circuit board is reeled or unreeled, the force generated by the springs is evenly distributed over the upper portion and the lower portion of the rotary sleeve.

Abstract: Provided is a winding apparatus. The winding apparatus, in one example, includes a bit member configured to engage a drilling apparatus. The bit member, in this example, has a length defining a central longitudinal axis of rotation. The winding apparatus, in this example, further includes a holding member coupleable to the bit member. For example, the holding member may be configured to extend along at least a portion of the length of the bit member, thereby creating a space between the bit member and the holding member to accept a windable material.

Abstract: A spool includes at least one bobbin and one winding wire, e.g., a winding wire lacquered for electrical insulation, the bobbin including at least one channel, e.g., one arranged as a pocket, at least one sleeve being electrically connected to the winding wire, the sleeve being electrically connected to an electrical line, e.g., a stranded conductor of a cable, the sleeve including deformable regions, for producing the electrical connections, a respectively deformable region being deformable such that a force-locking connection is provided and welding is able to be carried out.

Abstract: Apparatus and systems provide for the securing of a tape roll on a cable wrapping machine. According to various embodiments, a taping head locking device for securing a tape roll to a taping head of the cable wrapping machine includes a locking device body with at least one aperture. The locking device body includes a surface implement on an inner surface for engaging a surface implement on an outer surface of the taping head. The aperture guides and secures a taping pad penetrating device through the locking device body and into an adjacent tape pad of the tape roll. The locking device body may include two segments pivotally connected at one end of each segment, with a locking mechanism at opposing ends of the segments, allowing for an open configuration to facilitate installation and a closed configuration to secure the taping head locking device on the taping head.

Abstract: A tape cartridge has a reel having an external peripheral surface and a tape wound around the external peripheral surface of the reel. The peripheral surface has a shallow recess defined therein and extending in a peripheral direction of the reel. The recess is extended in a direction opposite a tape winding direction from a first point to a second point away from the first point. The recess is defined by an end wall extending inwardly from the first point to a third point away from the first point and a height substantially the same as a thickness of the tape. The recess also has a bottom wall extending peripherally from the third point to the second point and having a depth decreasing in proportion to a distance from the third point toward the second point. The portion of the tape is positioned in the recess so that the end wall abuts or opposes the end portion of the tape.

Abstract: A method and device are provided for producing a double roll fabric construction useful as a receptacle for, e.g., eyeglasses. The construction is comprised of adjacent rolled up portions disposed in side by side relation so as to be unrollable to form a receiving space therebetween. The rolling device includes a pair of spindles disposed in parallel relation and adapted to respectively receive opposite ends of a stretchable fabric so that rotation of the spindles causes rolling up of the fabric around the spindles. Respective pinion gears are mounted on the spindles and are disposed in engagement with, and ride along, a rack member. A drive unit produces movement of the pinion gears toward each other along the rack member so as to produce rotation of the second spindles and resultant wrapping of the fabric around the respective spindles to produce respective fabric rolls of the double roll fabric construction. After the construction is removed from the spindles, the ends are sewn to produce the receptacle.

Abstract: A wire winding box for reducing radial friction, especially a wire winding box for reducing radial friction of a communication wire, is disclosed. A fixing piece is installed in the through hole in the wire winding ring of wire winding disk. The fixing piece serves to clamp and fix the communication wire passing through the through hole so that the communication wire in the wire winding ring can not be pulled. When one end of the communication wire is pulled from the wire winding box, the section of the communication wire in the wire winding ring can not be pulled out. Therefore, as the communication wire is wound back to the wire winding box, the frictions between different sections of the communication wire and between the communication wire and the wire winding ring will not occur. Therefore, the communication wire and the whole wire winding box have a longer lifetime.
