DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to a package for coiled products such as ropes, hoses, flexible tubing, cables and similar kinds of products which are available by the yard coiled into ring-shaped bundles, as well as to a method of manufacturing such packages.
Products of said kind are usually manufactured in endless lengths, e.g. by extrusion, twisting or some analogous method of production. As the finished product is fed out it is coiled on to a rotating coiling drum, reel or winder in a number of juxtaposed windings and in a number of superposed layers such that a ring-shaped bundle is shaped, the dimensions and weight of which are adjusted for enabling comfortable handling of the finished package. When the bundle shaped by coiling has reached the set dimensions the feed out and coiling are stopped whereupon the coiled strands are fixed in position in relation to one another by tightening a strap or applying a strong adhesive piece of tape, e.g. plastic tape, wrapping and tying a string or the like across the coil direction, around the ring section of the ring-shaped bundle at spaced apart positions along the ring-shaped bundle. The coiled product may then be cut and the ring-shaped bundle removed from the coiling drum or reel in the shape of a ring-shaped, form stable bundle containing the intended quantity of the coiled product. The bundle can then be delivered in this condition to the consumer place such as a building storehouse, a workshop or some other kind of working place where various lengths of the product are to be used.
Before a certain set length of the product can be drawn from the bundle the cord, tape or string fixing the bundle must be cut. This will result in the ring-shaped bundle getting looser. The strands coiled up in ring-shape will no longer be held together which may result in that the bundle expands and consequently requires more space. One may also risk tangling the coiled strands and rendering renewed dispensing of a desired length more difficult.
It is the object of the present invention to eliminate said drawbacks and it thus relates to a package for coiled products which will not only ensure required rigidity in the products coiled up into a ring-shaped bundle in order to enable the handing a transportation of the bundle as a rigid unit, but which will also allow the dispensing of required lengths of the product from the bundle without impairing said rigidity. It is a further object of the invention to provide a package of said kind which is simple in construction and which can consequently be manufactured at a low cost. Still another object of the invention is to provide a package of said kind which is simple to use and which also permits refeeding into the package of an excessive length of the product drawn from the package. Another object of the invention is to provide a package which is rigid enough to permit the rolling of the package as a wheel over a bedding simultaneously as the product is being fed out from the package, e.g. when laying out tubing or cable.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a method of production of said package which permits the manufacture thereof in immediate connection with the coiling of the product at the place of its manufacture.
The objects mentioned above are achieved by providing an embodiment according to the characteristics and measures defined in the appended claims.
The invention will be described below with respect to two different examples of embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the finished package containing a set number of windings of the coiled product in the shape of a ring-shaped bundle,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the drawing out of a length of the product from the package shown in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 shows a front view of the simple components of which the package according to FIG. 1 is essentially constructed,
FIG. 4 is a cross section through the parts of the package shown in FIG. 3,
FIG. 5A and 5B as well as FIGS. 6--9 illu
