ABSTRACT:
The metallic-filament take-up reel according to the present invention comprises a winding drum on which a metallic filament is wound, a pair of flanges provided at opposite axial ends of the winding drum to hold, between the opposite inner surfaces thereof, the metallic filament wound on the drum, and a device for retaining the end portion of the metallic filament, provided on at least one of the flanges. The filament retaining device includes a catcher of which a base portion is securely fixed to an outer surface of the flange and an access hole formed in the flange, through which the free end of the catcher is displaced to inside the flange. The free end of the catcher is formed into a hook for retention of the end portion of the metallic filament. The catcher has an intermediate portion extending from the base portion thereof to the hook portion. The intermediate portion is raised from the base portion thereof and then bent at a height from the flange outer surface to extend toward the access hole in the flange. The catcher has a resilience to return the hook portion toward an initial position after the catcher is displaced for catching the end portion of a metallic filament.
