ABSTRACT:
A barrel folding reel including a first flange and a second flange spaced apart from and opposing one another is disclosed. A plurality of cooperating barrel members, each having a first end portion and a second end portion that are pivotally mounted to the first flange and the second flange, respectively, longitudinally extend between the flanges so as to define an operative position of barrel folding reel. An actuator member positioned adjacent to the first flange engages the first end portion of at least one, but not all, of the barrel members. The actuator is constructed and dimensioned so that it may be rotationally displaced to collectively rotate the barrel members engaged thereto ninety degrees about their longitudinal axes. The rotated barrel members are thereby aligned with the barrel members not attached to the actuator member. After aligning the barrel members, the barrel folding reel can be moved from its operative position to a collapsed position.
