A cable switching device to be used when switching from a first rotatable drum (3) to a second rotatable drum (4) for take-up of a cable (2) or the like. The novelty of the invention resides in that the cable switching device comprises a pivotable guide arm (13) supporting the cable (2) and adapted to be directed to the first (3) or, alternatively, the second (4) drum, or to a cutting device (20), the guide arm (13) comprising a nose portion (18) movable into and out of the drum (4 or 3), a clamping member (15, 16, 19) in the guide arm (13) for temporary clamping of the cable (2), the cutting device (20) being adapted to cut the cable at a given distance from the guide arm nose portion (18), and a catch arm (25) adapted to be inserted into the drum (4 or 3) through a suitable opening (23) in one of the drum sides (24) so as to take the cut-off free cable end (22) from the nose portion (18) inside the drum (4 or 3) and transfer it to a grapple (32) outside the drum (4 or 3), the grapple (32) being adapted to hold the cable end (22) and rotate together with the drum (4 or 3) during the subsequent winding of the cable (2) onto the drum. |
