Cable reel
Cable reels have long been used for transporting and storing bulk wire and cable such as telecommunications cable, electrical wire, bailing wire, wire rope, and the like. A typical cable reel is formed with a pair of spaced apart disc-shaped flanges joined by a central tubular core. Wire or cable is spirally wound around the central core between the spaced flanges until the reel is filled. Cable reels are commonly comprised of a rack, and a reel revolvably supported on the rack to take up a cable. When taking up the cable, the reel must be rotated with the hand through a handle at one side of the reel. Cable reels for use with large industrial cables conventionally comprise a wooden or steel drum that spans circular side portions conventionally made of wood. The cable is wound onto the drum to a level approximately 80 mm below the periphery of the sides. In cable reels, one end of a plurality of turns of a flat cable is secured to and led out of fixed bodies, whereas the other end of the cable is secured to and led out of movable bodies. When the movable body rotates, it rotates through a predetermined angle by virtue of the fact that the flat cable is caused to wind toward the side of the movable body. Cable reels may be provided for electrical connections between steering columns and rotatable steering wheels. A cable reel allowing electrical connection between a fixed housing and a movable housing has been used with a rotating mechanism such as the steering column of an automotiver vehicle. In an automobile steering system, a cable reel is provided for housing electrical cable.
