ABSTRACT:
A spooler system including a special spool having slotted openings in its side flange walls to allow a set of paddles to be inserted through them when the spool is mounted on the spooler, which paddles are located above the spool core and provide a temporary, larger diameter, initial winding surface for the material to be spooled. After the material has been spooled onto the spool directly on the paddles, the paddles, which can be pivoted downwardly, are removed. This leaves the spooled material loosely fitting on the core of the spool, allowing room for the spooled material to shrink along its length without producing profile distortion in the material. A distal end hub element is provided to hold the spool unto the arbor of the spooler, which hub element has a set of radially extending arms which support the undersides of the paddles during the spooling operation. Roller wheels on the terminal ends of the arms allow the arms to be easily rolled in under the paddles. A pair of lever arms are provided on the hub element for clamping it to the arbor.
