Drum for transportation of flexible electric power cable

摘要

A drum for transportation of flexible electrical cables has an oval cross-section and is formed of a spool member comprising a pair of semi-cylindrical sections and means for rigidly maintaining the sections with their diametric surfaces spaced parallel to and facing each other. A planar retainer member of corresponding oval cross-section and uniformly greater dimensions than the spool member is secured to each flat end of the spool member transverse to the axes of rotation of the sections to form a pair of spaced opposed walls of a rectangular slot receiving at least one layer of a continuous length of cable for shipment.
