DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to a method for producing a package for receiving a ring of reeled wire, tube or the like which is cut to a predetermined length, especially an electrical line, in which the ring is introduced between two substantially square panels of rigid material, e.g. cardboard or the like with the center axis of the ring running perpendicular to the panels.
Electrical lines with slender dimensions are often distributed in the form of rings with a predetermined number of windings without a reel. The reason for this is that great demands are made upon the strengths of the reel so that it can be gripped in a modern reel machine, which in turn leads to costs for the reels which become too high in view of the fact that they normally are thrown away after the line is unreeled. Further, it takes less time to reel on a reeling machine if the reel does not need to be exchanged after every reeling process. Moreover, prefabricated empty reels are bulky and, therefore, take up a great portion of the space of a reeling machine.
Such line rings are often packed simply in plastic bags. A plastic bag is a simple and cheap package which, however, is not adapted for keeping the line ring in order during use on a place of work. Accordingly, such line rings also have been packed in cartons, in which a hole is made to detach the line from the center of the ring. Accordingly the line is turned, which is not to be tolerated at certain types of lines.
To prevent turning of the line when unreeling, it is accordingly necessary to unreel the line in the tangential direction from the outer circumference of the ring. To accomplish this it is necessary that the line ring is arranged on a reel with flanges which keep the line ring in order during unreeling.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple and cheap reel to receive a ring reeled electrical line or other cord formed goods.
This object will be achieved according to this invention by a package in which a substantially tubular at least in the axial direction, rigid means 10 is introduced through both panels and the center opening of the ring 7 after being inserted between the panels, and is thereafter locked in the introduced position in relation to the ring 7 well as the panels.
Other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a stack of sheet formed blanks for use in the manufacture of a reel according to the method of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a blank according to FIG. 1, said blank being provided with fold lines, perforation lines and cuts.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the blank of FIGS. 1 and 2 showing the folding thereof to a carton.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a finished carton and a ring made of a predetermined number of windings of an electrical line etc., said carton being adapted to receive said ring.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the closed carton in which a line ring is enclosed, and a non-mounted hub means.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the finished carton with the mounted hub means.
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the line ring on a reel taken away from the carton.
FIG. 8 is a sectional view through the line ring and the reel of FIG. 7.
FIG. 9 is a schematical view showing the two steps of using the carton to detach the line from the center of the carton.
FIG. 1 shows a number of stacked sheets 1 of rigid material, e.g. cardboard or the like. In a first step, a blank is produced according to the present invention to form a carton according to the appearance of FIG. 2. The carton blank shown in FIG. 2, which blank is not an object of the invention, presents fold lines 2, perforation lines 3, cuts 4 and recesses or openings 5, which all make it possible to provide a carton of the appearance of FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 3 shows the initial stage of the folding of the carton.
In FIG. 4 the upwardly open but otherwise already folded carton 6 is shown. Said carton is now ready to receive a ring 7 with a prede
