Abstract: A flange design providing improved strength, fracture resistance, and the like using corrugations extending substantially radially from an arbor aperture toward a rim portion. A spool or reel may include a tubular member to receive a stranded material wrapped therearound. A first flange comprising a core portion and an outer portion may secure to one end of the first flange engaging the tubular member. A second flange may secure to the other end of the tubular member. The core portion of a flange may comprise an arbor wall defining the perimeter of an arbor aperture. The arbor wall may be directly contacted and supported by a plurality of corrugations extending radially therefrom. The outer portion of a flange may contact the core portion and extending radially away therefrom to an outer edge to restrain the stranded material in an axial direction.

Abstract: A plastic spool for receiving, storing and dispensing wire and cable is formed of multiple pieces. A preferred design is assembled in two halves, each having a tube portion and a flange portion. The tube portions have stepped, mating diameters. The tube portion of one half is stepped on the inside diameter and the tube portion of the other half is stepped on the outside diameter to match. Preferably two stepped diameters are used, besides the principal inside and outside diameters which are virtually identical for each tube portion. The spool includes ribbed flanges for strength and minimum resin use. For toughness, an olefinic resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene is used for molding. The spool may be assembled in three pieces, a tube and a pair of flanges. In any embodiment, the halves or pieces are bonded together, preferably by spin welding, hot plate welding, ultrasonic welding or induction welding. In some embodiments, the pieces may be fastened mechanically. Larger spools, usually referred to as reels are configured to receive a tube into a channel formed in each flange. The channel wall extends outboard of the flange wall, permitting a penetrating fastener to secure the tube to the channel wall without making any blemish or bump which might damage wire in the wrapping region around the tube between the flanges.

Abstract translation: 用于接收，存储和分配电线和电缆的塑料线轴由多个片组成。 优选的设计组装在两个半部中，每个具有管部分和凸缘部分。 管部分具有阶梯式配合直径。 一半的管部分在内径上阶梯形，另一半的管部分在外径上台阶配合。 优选地，使用两个阶梯直径，除了对于每个管部分几乎相同的主要内径和外径。 阀芯包括用于强度和最小树脂使用的肋状法兰。 为了韧性，使用烯烃树脂如聚乙烯或聚丙烯进行成型。 阀芯可以组装成三个部件，一个管和一对法兰。 在任何实施例中，优选地通过旋转焊接，热板焊接，超声波焊接或感应焊接将半部或多个部件接合在一起。 在一些实施例中，这些部件可以机械地紧固。 通常称为卷轴的较大的卷轴构造成将管接纳到形成在每个凸缘中的通道中。 通道壁延伸到凸缘壁的外侧，允许穿透紧固件将管固定到通道壁上，而不会产生任何可能损坏围绕管的包裹区域中的线的缺陷或凸起。
