Abstract
A reel for transporting elongate articles has a pair of discs (2) connected to each other by a hub (3) disposed between the discs. L-shaped hooks (8) are formed integral with the hub, and their heads protrude from each of its open ends to engage with slots formed in each disc. Bodies (9a) of resilient pawls (9) for each disc extend from the outer periphery of the hub's internal cylinder (5). Each pawl (9) has a locking end located near and inside the hub's external cylinder (4) at each open end, and the end can rock in axial direction. Stoppers (9A) protruding from the external cylinder are located adjacent to the locking ends so as to inhibit them from rocking in an undesired circular direction. Slots (10) and apertures (11) formed in each disc engage with the hooks (8) and pawls (9), respectively, so that the reel can be assembled and disassembled easily and readily, ensuring a reliable engagement of the discs with the hub during repeated use.
