Definitions

  • the subject invention relates to apparatus for forming and dispensing and, more specifically, relates to apparatus for use in forming rolls of flat cable for storing and transporting the rolls and for paying out the cable making up the roll.
  • the apparatus supports the rolls in a horizontal disposition so that their weight is distributed over an entire side of the rolls.
  • the apparatus carries rolls in stacked relationship for dense packaging but prevents a given roll from being subjected to more than its own weight.
  • Each roll is rotatable so that flat cable can be taken up or payed out.
  • components of the apparatus for holding a roll are reusable in that after a roll is exhausted at a consumer facility, the component can be returned to the cable manufacturing plant for winding of another roll.
  • the flat cable handling apparatus of the present invention is reliable in use, has long service life and is simple and economical to manufacture.
  • the apparatus of the present invention for use in forming rolls of flat cable, for use in storing and transporting the rolls, and for use in paying out cable from the rolls, includes a carrier assembly, a plurality of roll supports and a plurality of spacer hubs with one hub associated with each roll support. More specifically, the carrier assembly is adapted to be mounted on a turntable with the carrier assembly including a substantially horizontal support surface and further including a substantially vertical shaft extending above the support surface. Each roll support has a generally centrally located aperture for receiving the vertical post so that the roll supports can be stacked on the carrier assembly and each roll support has a roll support surface. The support surfaces are generally horizontally disposed when the roll supports are stacked on the carrier assembly.
  • Each hub has a central opening for receiving the vertical shaft and each hub is disposed between its corresponding roll support and the next upwardly disposed roll support.
  • Each hub has a vertical length at least slightly greater than the width of the roll of flat cable supported on the corresponding roll support so that each roll of flat cable does not support the weight of any other roll and the weight of that roll is distributed on a side of the roll to reduce localized compression of material forming the roll.
  • the present invention includes several steps:
  • apparatus of the present invention for use in forming rolls of flat cable 28, for use in storing and transporting the rolls, and for use in paying out cable from the rolls, is generally indicated in FIG. 3 by reference character 30.
  • the apparatus 30 includes a carrier assembly 32 having a vertical shaft 34 on which a plurality of flange assemblies or roll supports 36, each holding one of the rolls of flat cable, are mounted in stacked relationship.
  • the post 34 and the flange assemblies include interlocking means so that all will rotate together.
  • the carrier assembly 32 is adapted for attachment on turntable means rotatable in a substantially horizontal plane, such as the rotary table 38 shown in FIG. 3.
  • the rotary table 38 could either be driven, as when the apparatus 30 is used for winding flat cable rolls, or the table could be free to rotate, as when the apparatus 30 is used to pay out cable to automated equipment which pulls the cable resulting in rotation of the table 38.
  • a more complex table which is driven but has a freewheeling capability could selectively provide both the winding and pay out functions.
  • Such rotary tables are well known to those of skill in the art and need not be further described herein.
  • an exemplary flat cable 28 includes a plurality of generally parallel, spaced conductors 40 held in coplanar relationship in a layer of flexible, electrically insulative material 42.
  • the layer could be extruded with the conductors embedded therein, or the conductors could be sandwiched between upper and lower insulative sheets laminated together to form the layer 42.
  • One side 44 of the cable could be flat with the other side 46 being provided with regularly spaced, longitudinally extending locating ribs 48 for properly positioning the conductors 40 in alignment with insulation displacement terminal elements in a mass termination connector.
  • the cable could also include other components such as drain wires, foil or braid shielding, a ground plane and optical fibers.
  • the carrier assembly 32 includes a lower plate 50 with the post 34 extending upwardly at the center of the plate.
  • the post Interconnecting the post and the base plate are four spaced radially extending vertically disposed plates 52 which have upper surfaces 54 forming a support surface for the lowermost flange assembly 36.
  • the post 34, vertical plates 52 and tube sections 56 are welded to one another and to the steel base plate 50 to provide a strong, rigid structure.
  • the interlocking means comprises a pair of diametrically opposed, axially extending keys 65 bolted to extend from the outer surface of the vertical post 34.
  • each flange assembly 36 or roll support includes a generally circular flange 66 having a diameter greater than the diameter of the flat cable roll 28 it supports, and has a central opening 68.
  • a hub 70 having a central opening 72 for slidably receiving the vertical post 34, is attached to each flange.
  • both the flanges 66 and the hubs 70 are formed of aluminum.
  • each hub has a dependent sleeve 74 extending into the central aperture 68 of the flange.
  • the hub and corresponding flange may be connected by means of spaced, peripherally located screws 76.
  • each hub 70 includes a slot 82 extending from adjacent the hub opening 72 to the periphery of the hub for receiving a cable end to facilitate winding of the flat cable roll 28.
  • the slot does not extend radially but is canted with respect to the axis of the hub to trap the leading end of the roll so that the leading end does not pull out of the slot as the flange is rotated in the take-up direction indicated in FIG. 7.
  • the flat cable rolls 28 each support only their own weight and that weight is distributed along an entire side of the roll.
  • the length of the hub 70 being somewhat greater than the width of its corresponding cable roll 28, results in the hubs 70 supporting the weight of the flange assemblies 36 and flat cable rolls 28 disposed above them in the stacked arrangement. After one of the rolls is payed out until it is exhausted, the flange assemblies thereabove can be lifted off the shaft 34 and the flange assembly with its roll exhausted shipped back to the cable manufacturing facility for rewinding of a fresh roll.
  • the present invention includes several steps:
