METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STORING ROLLED-UP CABLES AND THE LIKE

摘要

A method for storing rolled-up cables and other windable articles such as hoses, pipes, tubes and other profile sections which are advantageously rolled up in a storage rack. A corresponding storage device (1) is also provided which includes a storage rack (10) consisting of a circular outer wall (12) engaging the rim of a base (11) for supporting the rolled-up cable, a guide assembly (4), and a stationary (20) or rotary (21) positioning member (2) for angularly feeding the article being rolled up (3) from the guide assembly (4) to the storage rack (10). The design of the device is such that no drive is required for the positioning member (2) and the cable (3) is properly arranged in the rack (10) by means of its inherent longitudinal stiffness.
