Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cylindrical coil of filamentary material (e.g. wire) wound in layers, each layer of material in the coil forming a spiral and a shipping package containing the cylindrical coil of material.
- the invention also embraces a method of winding wire into a coil.
- a further disadvantage of and problem with the prior art coils and shipping containers is the formation of loops in the wire as the wire is being removed from the container. This formation of loops during removal also causes snags in the wire.
- the prior art cylindrical containers utilize a large diameter core scout which the coiled wire is wound, which core necessitates the shipping container being reinforced and bulky in size to accommodate the coiled wire. Accordingly, such prior art packages are unnecessarily bulky and utilize shipping containers which are non-disposable and must be returned for subsequent refilling by the end user.
- the present invention seeks to provide an improved cylindrical coil of filamentary material wound in layers, with each layer of material forming a layered spiral and a multi-sided shipping package for the cylindrical coil of material.
- the present invention also seeks to provide a cylindrical coil of filamentary material utilizing a small diameter core and a shipping package for the coil.
- a coil of filamentary material comprising alternate layers, one layer wound in an increasing spiral from the inside of said coil to the outside of said coil and the next adjacent layer wound in a decreasing spiral from the outside of said coil to the inside of said coil, and a container therefor, which is characterised in that said coil is securea together in a multiplicity of positions around said coil and said package container has a plurality of substantially straight sides each contacting part of the periphery of the said coil.
- a method of winding wire into a coil which comprises feeding the wire to a package container in a series of superposed spiral layers which is characterised in that the container has four or more straight sides and the wire is led into the container so that the outer turn of each layer contacts each straight side of the container.
- the present invention permits the use of a simple winding control which spirally winds filamentary material into a shipping container having a multiplicity of sides which permit the filamentary material to slightly bulge, in varying amounts, into the apices formed between adjacent sides of the shipping container.
- a multi-sided central winding insert can be positioned in the centre or core of the coil and can be used during winding to permit the filamentary material to slightly bulge on the inside of the coil to provide a small diameter core for the coiled material.
- the coil Before removing such a central insert for shipping the coil, the coil can be secured by tying or strapping the coil in the shipping package in a multiplicity of positions. Securing of the coil in the package is readily permitted by the utilization of a multi-sided shipping container and a central winding insert.
- a coil and package in accordance with the present invention occupies substantially less space for shipment and storage than does a prior art package of comparable quantity and results in a coil and package which is in a more dense condition than prior art coils and packages.
- the present invention permits the use of a smaller diameter central core in the coil which substantially eliminates tangles, snags or the formation of loops upon removal of the filamentary material from the coil.
- the package for the coil can be disposable thus eliminating the attendant costs and handling charges necessary for returning expensive cylindrical containers for subsequent reusage.
- a package or container 10 which is square in plan is shown receiving a wire 12 as it is spirally wound into layers to form a wire coil 13.
- a square central insert member 14 is shown positioned in the centre or core 13A of the coil 13.
- a plurality of tie members 15 are positioned within the box with the ends 15A thereof releasably attached (e.g. taped) to the inside of the container 10 or the sides of the central insert 14.
- Figure 2 illustrates a second embodiment of coil and package according to the invention.
- the container 10 is a regular octagon in plan with a central insert 14 for the coil 13 in the form of a cross- frame member.
- the scope of the present invention includes other multisided packages or containers, such as, containers having five, six or seven sides.
- a fully wound wire coil 13 is shown in Figure 2 and the turns thereof can be seen to be secured together by a plurality of tie members 15.
- Scuff pads 16 are shown in Figure 2 positioned between the tie members 15 and the wire coil 13 to prevent damage or marking of the wire 12 during shipment and storage, but these are not essential.
- the container or package 10 is shown with its upper flap members 17 flared out at about a 45 degree angle and positioned on a flange member 19 of a driven member 20.
- a feed tube 18 positions wire 12 between the sides of the container 10 and the corners of the central insert 14.
- the driven member 20 includes a shaft 21 and a gear member 22.
- a motor 23 drives a gear 24 in mesh with the gear member 22.
- the wire 12 is processed through the feed tube 18 at a constant rate so that the drive motor 23 includes a programmed speed control mechanism (not shown) which slows down the flange member 19 and the container 10 as the turn radii increase, thereby permitting the layer of turns of the wire 12 to spiral outwardly.
- This slowing down of the speed of rotation of the container 10 is permitted to proceed slightly more than when the wire 12 first contacts the container 10.
- the drive motor 23 may be made to speed up slightly when the wire 12 contacts the corners of the central insert 14 thereby pulling the wire in slightly toward the corners of the central insert 14.
- the layers of the coil 13 are secured together in a multiplicity of positions utilizing the tie members 15, to ensure that the individual turns of wire 12 in the coil do not shift between layers thereof during transport and shipping of the wire coil 13 and the package 10.
- the central insert 14 is removed and may be reused on subsequent coil windings.
- the wire coil and its individual layered turns of wire 12 once placed in the package or container 10, do not move from their intended layered position in the container until the wire is removed therefrom by being unwound in a reverse manner to that in which the wire was formed into the coil.
- the wire is removed from the coil while the container or package 10 is stationary and, if desired, a different type of central insert is used during the removal of the wire.
- the present invention affords a useful wire coil and shipping package.
- a 500 mm wide package or container 100 mm thick can hold and protect during shipment up to 68 kg of coiled fine wire, having an inner core 250 mm in diameter.
- a wire coil and package in accordance with the present invention permits the packaging, shipment and storage of an equivalent amount of wire in approximately one-fourth the space required by the conventional cylindrical-shaped containers in accordance with the prior art.
- the economy in shipping and storage costs are significant in the present invention because the wire winding is in a much more dense condition utilizing a smaller core for the wire coil.
- the package container in accordance with the present invention is disposable thereby eliminating the need for deposit payments and the usage of spools and the like which must be returned by the end user to the wire manufacturer, as required by the containers according to the prior art teachings.
