1,129,587. Securing reels on hubs. HONEYWELL Inc. 21 Dec., 1965 [28 Dec., 1964], No. 54181/65. Heading F2U. A tape reel 62 is held on a mandrel 16 having radially movable sectors 40 biased inwards by a surrounding rubber band 58, and outwardly to grip the reel 62 by a tapered sleeve 30 loaded axially by spring 60 such that axial movement of the sleeve 30 against spring 60 allows the rubber band 58 to contract the sectors 40 on to a steeper taper 38 of the sleeve 30 and thus release the reel. The sectors have a flanged periphery locating the rubber band 58. Rollers 54 engage the sleeve 30 and slide in circular radial holes 24 in a ring 22 attached to the mandrel body 16. The outer flanges 44 of the sectors locate the reel axially against the edge 18 of the mandrel 16. The sleeve 30 may be hexagonal or have individual tapers on a cylindrical surface. Rollers 54 may be replaced by solid lifters. |
