<p>17 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVING BINDER FROM AROUND TELECOMMUNICATIONS CABLE CORE A method and apparatus for removing binder from around a telecommunications cable core. The apparatus comprises a binder take-up reel, drive means for rotating the take-up reel around a passline for cable core, and binder unwinding and guide means which are freely rotatable about a take-up reel station. The apparatus is economical in construction and requires only one drive motor, for the take-up reel, because rotation of the binder unwinding and guide means is driven by binder tension as binder is unwound from the core. The binder unwinding and guide means provides simple mechanical means to control the speed of rotation of the binder unwinding and guide means and the speed of rotation of the take-up reel relative to the cable core speed along the passline so that the binder is in tension as it is unwound controllably from the core.</p> |
