Reciprocating mechanism for a reel assembly

摘要

Disclosed is a reel assembly (100). The assembly includes an element (10) configured to rotate about a spooling axis (X). The element is configured to receive a linear material wrapped around a spool surface thereof as the element rotates about the spool axis. A housing (22, 24) substantially encloses the element, wherein a portion of the housing defines an aperture (30) configured to receive the linear material therethrough. A reciprocating mechanism connects to the element and reciprocatingly rotates the element relative to the shell about a reciprocation axis (Y) as the element rotates about the spool axis.
