The invention is a repair device for a spool on which a wire, cable or the like may be wound. The spool includes two parallel, spaced apart circular sidewalls which are connected by a transverse coaxial shaft. The shaft includes an axial bore and each sidewall includes an axial aperture having a smaller diameter than the bore to thereby define a circular rim at the intersection of the shaft with each sidewall. The repair device comprises a circular end cap which has a diameter substantially the same as the diameter of the sidewalls and an arrangement for securing the end cap to the spool adjacent one of the sidewalls. In the event one of the sidewalls becomes broken, the end cap can be secured to the spool adjacent the broken sidewall to thereby repair the spool. |
