ABSTRACT:
The invention disclosed here is a pin hub that is to be used in conjunction with interchangeable wire reels for taking individual wire segments from a continuous wire feed. In use, an empty reel is first mounted to the pin hub. The pin hub has a plurality of pins which are arranged in a circular pattern, and are retracted relative to the hub at the time the reel is mounted. After mounting, the pins are extended through corresponding side openings in the reel, and thereby define a winding hub or circle within the reel itself. Instead of being wound directly against sidewall or hub structure of the reel itself, the wire is instead wound about the pins, and they take up the physical stresses associated with the winding process. After winding is completed, the pins are retracted, and the filled reel is thereafter removed from the pin hub.
