Abstract
A releasable lock mechanism for securing a spool of wire in its supporting cradle in a tubular type wire stranding machine. The mechanism is both positive in action and easy to operate and includes for each end of the spool shaft a generally sector shaped locking member that is movable into and out of a position overlying the end of the shaft. When the locking member is moved into its locking position overlying the end of the spool shaft, it is positively yet releasably held in this position by coacting detent means on the member and cradle side rail.
