Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A reel device comprising a reel holder holding a reel and rotating with said reel as a unit, rotary means having an inward and an outward connection to said reel holder, a rotating member interposed between said reel holder and said rotary means for rotation with said rotary means as a unit within a predetermined range, and reel securing means maintained in engagement with said rotating member and mounted for sliding motion, said reel securing means moving outwardly to project out of the reel holder and press against the upper surface of the reel to secure the reel in place when the rotary means is rotated in one direction, and said reel securing means moving inwardly to be withdrawn into the reel holder and released from the pressing engagement with the reel when the rotary means is rotated in the opposite direction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A reel device comprising a reel holder holding a reel and rotating with said reel as a unit, rotary means having an inward and an outward connection to said reel holder, a rotating member interposed between said reel holder and said rotary means for rotation with said rotary means as a unit within a predetermined range, and reel securing means maintained in engagement with said rotating member and mounted for sliding motion, said reel securing means moving outwardly to project out of the reel holder and press against the upper surface of the reel to secure the reel in place when the rotary means is rotated in one direction, and said reel securing means moving inwardly to be withdrawn into the reel holder and released from the pressing engagement with the reel when the rotary means is rotated in the opposite direction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
A reel device as defined in claim 1 in which said reel securing means comprises a plurality of engaging members and slots for receiving said engaging members to hold them in engagement with said rotating member, a portion moving out of and into said reel holder, and a portion slidably received in a groove formed in said reel holder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A reel device as defined in claim 1 further comprising means for resiliently rotating said rotary means with respect to said rotating member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
52 words
A reel device as defined in claim 1 characterized in that a reel rotation stopping means provided on the outer circumFerential surface of the reel holder is engaged in at least one cutout formed in the inner sidewall of the reel so as to thereby hold the reel on the reel holder.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
66 words
A reel device as defined in claim 1 in which said rotary means and said reel holder are maintained for rotation as a unit by threadable connection of an externally threaded portion of a shaft connected to the center of the underside of the rotary means and extending downwardly therefrom with a center axial threaded bore portion formed in an upper portion of said reel holder.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
113 words
A reel device comprising a reel holder holding a reel and rotating with said reel as a unit, rotary means having an inward and an outward connection to said reel holder, a rotating member interposed between said reel holder and said rotary means for rotation with said rotary means as a unit within a predetermined range, and reel securing means including a portion moving outwardly and inwardly of the outer circumferential surface of said reel holder when said rotary means is rotated, a portion slidably received in a groove formed in said reel holder, and at least one engaging member and a slot for receiving said engaging member provided in said rotating member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
113 words
A reel device comprising a reel holder holding a reel and rotating with said reel as a unit, rotary means having an inward and an outward connection to said reel holder, a rotating member interposed between said reel holder and said rotary means for rotation with said rotary means as a unit within a predetermined range, and reel securing means including a portion moving outwardly and inwardly of the outer circumferential surface of said reel holder when said rotary means is rotated, a portion slidably received in a groove formed in said reel holder, and at least one engaging member and a slot for receiving said engaging member provided in said rotating member.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
52 words
A reel device as defined in claim 6 in which said reel securing means is slidably mounted such that the range of its sliding motion is limited by a pair of limiting members arranged on the reel holder substantially axially of the groove and spaced apart a predetermined distance from each other.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
69 words
A reel device as defined in claim 6 which comprises three reel securing means of identical shape and configuration, said reel holder being formed on its upper surface with three grooves arranged substantially in the form of a triangle, said reel securing means being slidably fitted in said grooves respectively, said rotating member being provided with three engaging members engaged in slots formed in said reel securing means respectively.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
36 words
A reel device as defined in claim 8 further comprising a pair of limiting member arranged on the reel holder substantially axially of one of said grooves and spaced apart a predetermined distance from each other.
