Benefits of technology

[0019]Accordingly, a feature and advantage of the present invention is its ability to facilitate easy removal of a wound cable from the spool of a cable winder such that the wound cable may be conveniently stored apart from the spool.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, however, a separate spool is necessary for each cable or wire so wound, which is costly, and storage of the cables on the spools is inefficient due to the large size of the spools.
Thus, the above mentioned devices fail to allow for the wound cable or wire to be quickly and easily removed from the spool for reuse of the spool and / or for convenient and efficient storage of the wound cable or wire.

Embodiment Construction

[0036]In describing preferred embodiments of the present invention illustrated in the Figures, specific terminology is employed for the sake of clarity. The invention, however, is not intended to be limited to the specific terminology so selected, and it is to be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose.

[0037]In that form of the preferred embodiment of the present invention chosen for purposes of illustration, FIG. 1 generally shows an exploded perspective view of various components comprising cable winding device 100 preferably comprises rotationally mounted spool 110 including a plurality of tines 111. Each of tines 111 preferably projects generally perpendicularly from a circumferential portion of circular disc member 113. Flange 130 is preferably slidably engaged with spool 110 such that each of tines 111 protrudes through a respective one of openings 131 disposed through flange 130....

Abstract

A cable winding device and method for winding a cable which provides for quick and easy removal of a cable from the cable winder such that the winder may readily be used to wind additional cables without additional parts, and such that the wound cable may be efficiently stored.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates generally to cable winding devices, and more specifically, to a portable, motorized device for winding and securing a cable and a method therefor.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Cable winding devices have long been used in the art, and during such use numerous and varied winders have been developed. Some cable winding devices include portable, recoilable systems, retrievable electric cord reel devices, extension cord / tool carriers, storage reels, cable coiler devices, and retractable cable winders.[0005]Typically, these and other known cable winding devices include a spool having a flange at both ends of the spool, about which a cable or wire may be wound and subsequently stored wound around the spool and between the flanges. Unfortunately, however, a separate spool is necessary for each cable or wire so wound, which is costly, and storage of the cables on the spools is inefficient due to...
