Abstract
A multi-part reel of molded plastic construction has two parts that are identical. Each part has a flange and an inner hub portion and an outer hub portion that are integrally connected to the flange so as to project in an axial direction; a plurality of circumferentially spaced hooks that interconnect with the hooks of the other to hold the parts together when the parts are mated and indexed in the circumferential direction; and a tangential lock arm that interlocks with the lock arm of the other to hold the parts in the indexed position. The lock arms has flexible arrow shaped heads that are aligned with access ports to visually assist in the assembly and disassembly of the reel parts and to permit disengagement of the lock arms for disassembly of the reel parts. The reel parts have axial fingers for centering the reel parts, slots for anchoring material to the reel for a winding operation and drive holes for rotating the reel in winding or feeding operations.
