ABSTRACT:
A coiling apparatus includes a storage tube assembly which includes a bottom portion, a top portion, and a pair of side wall portions connected between the bottom portion and the top portion. The coiling apparatus is used for storing a coil of long thin material such as electrical fish tape. The guide assembly is positioned along a mid-portion of the inside surface of the top portion of the storage tube assembly, and the guide assembly is used for guiding the electrical fish tape into the storage tube assembly for forming the coil. The top portion of the storage tube assembly is curved and has a top radius of curvature. The bottom portion of the storage tube assembly is curved and has a bottom radius of curvature. The top radius of curvature is greater than the bottom radius of curvature. The guide assembly includes a top guide portion which is coextensive with a portion of the top portion of the storage tube assembly. The guide assembly also includes a bottom guide portion, and guide walls are connected between the top guide portion and the bottom guide portion. The top guide portion is curved and has a guide top radius of curvature. The bottom guide portion is curved and has a guide bottom radius of curvature. The guide top radius of curvature is greater than the guide bottom radius of curvature.
