Abstract
A take-up reel suitable for taking up cable as a coil. The reel includes a pair of plates and a central raised hub carrying an outer peripheral surface about which a cable may be wound. The central hub may be formed from one of the plates and may also carry a recess in the hub. An anchor secures one end of the cable between the plates and presents an abutment and locking surface. A cable follower is pivotally biased to engage the outer surface of the coil of cable being taken-up and let out from the take-up reel. The cable follower is adapted to abut an abutment when the cable has been substantially let out (played out) to preclude further rotation of the take-up reel. A torque limiter may be provided employing a spring plate and parallel oriented clutch plate in face to face abutting relation with the spring plate. The connection between the take-up reel and torque limiter is effected by a special pin construction to ensure maximum torque transfer to the reel from the torque limiter.
