Spool filled with elongated metal element

摘要

A spool (10) is filled with an elongated metal element (12) which is wound onto the spool with a plurality of windings. The plurality of windings end with a final winding (22) and n windings (24) preceding the final winding ("n preceding windings"), n is hereby greater than or equal to one. The final winding (22) comprises a beginning part (26), a middle part (28) and a trailing end (20). The middle part (28) is under the n preceding windings (24) in order to secure the final winding to the rest of the elongated element. The beginning part (26) and the trailing end (20) are at the same side of the n preceding windings (24).
