COILING FRAME FOR OPTICAL FIBER COMPOSITE GROUND WIRE

摘要

The present invention relates to a frame for coiling the surplus length of an overhead cable when two cable sections are spliced in a splicing box. Such cables are usually suspended from wooden/concrete poles or from steel towers . The invention is particularly adapted to be used with Optical Fiber Composi te Ground Wires (OPGW). The frame comprises a coiling chamber for the coiling of said surplus splice length, said coiling chamber comprising an interior in which said surplus splice length is coiled and an outer edge allowing the free rotation of said frame about a shaft, said surplus splice length being pushed from underneath by an operator and being further pushed and held by its own restoring force against said outer edge of said coiling chamber, said pushin g and holding effects inducing said rotation of said frame.
