ABSTRACT:
A plastic spool for receiving, storing and dispensing wire and cable is formed of multiple pieces. A preferred design is assembled in two halves, each having a tube portion and a flange portion. The tube portions have stepped, mating diameters. The tube portion of one half is stepped on the inside diameter and the tube portion of the other half is stepped on the outside diameter to match. Preferably two stepped diameters are used, besides the principal inside and outside diameters which are virtually identical for each tube portion. The spool includes ribbed flanges for strength and minimum resin use. For toughness, an olefinic resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene is used for molding. The spool may be assembled in three pieces, a tube and a pair of flanges. In any embodiment, the halves or pieces are bonded together, preferably by spin welding, hot plate welding, ultrasonic welding or induction welding. In some embodiments, the pieces may be fastened mechanically. Larger spools, usually referred to as reels are configured to receive a tube into a channel formed in each flange. The channel wall extends outboard of the flange wall, permitting a penetrating fastener to secure the tube to the channel wall without making any blemish or bump which might damage wire in the wrapping region around the tube between the flanges.
