Storage spool device for optical fibers

摘要

A storage spool adapted to have excess optical fiber or wired lengths wound thereon consists of a cylinder having a curved outer surface on which the fibers are to be wound. A mounting arm extends from a separating wall portion on the curved surface and has a mounting latch member on its distal end. The arm has an arcuate fiber guide portion for guiding the fibers onto the curved surface, and retaining means are provided for maintaining the fibers in position on the curved surface of the cylinder.
