ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical cable reel is provided which quickly and easily loads and unloads a coil of wire. The reel has an outer circular plate coupled to a vertical post for rotation about a horizontal axis. Four spaced, radially movable fingers adjacent the plate simultaneously retract inwardly as the plate is turned to a coil loading position. Once the wire coil is in place, means are provided for selectively releasing the fingers for radially outward movement under the influence of a set of springs. Consequently, the fingers rapidly engage the coil at its inner core. Subsequently, a clutch means may be operated to render the reel rotatable in either direction. The maintenance-free operating structure is safely and conveniently placed out of reach. Advantageously, the reel is mounted on a four wheeled electrical cart containing a measuring device and a wire cutter, such that various coils may be quickly changed for use on the cart.
