<p>The metallic-filament take-up reel according to the present invention comprises a winding drum (2) on which the metallic filament (1) is wound, a pair of flanges (3) provided at the opposite axial ends of the winding drum (2) to hold, between the opposite inner surfaces (3A) thereof, the metallic filament (1) wound on the drum (2), and a means (10) of retaining the end portion (11) of the metallic filament (1), provided on at least one of the flanges (3). The filament retaining means (10) comprises a catcher (12) of which the base portion (14) is securely fixed to the outer surface (3B) of the flange (3) and an access hole (13) formed in the flange (3) and through which the free end of the catcher (12) can be led to inside the flange (3). The free end of the catcher (12) is formed into a hook for retention of the end portion (11) of the metallic filament (1). The catcher (12) has an intermediate portion (15) extending form the base portion (14) thereof to the hook portion (16). The intermediate portion (15) is raised from the base portion (14) thereof and then bent at a height from the flange outer surface (3B) so as to extend toward the access hole (13) in the flange (3). The catcher (12) has such a resilience as returns the hook portion (16) toward its initial position after the catcher (12) itself is bent for catching the end portion (11) of a metallic filament (1). <IMAGE></p> |
