Abstract:
A spool system includes a spool and a spool support. The spool includes a spool body, a shaft, and an anti-rotation feature. The spool body has a center axis of rotation. The shaft includes a first end disposed on the spool body and extends from the spool body along the center axis of rotation to a second end. The anti-rotation feature is disposed on the shaft and defines a non-circular shape. The spool support supports the spool and defines a slot sized to slidably receive the shaft and a feature receiver that has a complimentary shape of the anti-rotation feature. The spool moves along the slot between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the stowed position, the anti-rotation feature of the spool is received by the feature receiver and prevents rotation of the spool. In the deployed position, the anti-rotation feature allows rotation of the spool.
