Abstract
Abstract A storage reel is made from a suitable molded foam material and it comprises a cylindrical core and end plates having shoulders on each side that are frictionally positioned within ends of the core. One side of the end plates has a beveled surface while the other side is provided with a straight surface.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A storage reel comprising a hollow core and end plates of plastic foam, a circular external surface and an internal surface provided by said hollow core, annular shoulder means provided by said end plates in frictional engagement with said internal surface of said hollow core, said end plates having aligned central holes in communication with said internal surface of said hollow core, and tapered surfaces on said end plates extending outwardly from said circular external surface of said hollow core, said end plates have other annular shoulder means and straight surfaces extending outwardly therefrom and normal to an axis extending through said holes, said other annular shoulder means adapted to be positioned within said internal surface of said hollow core so that said straight surfaces extend outwardly from said circular external surface of said hollow core.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
A storage reel comprising a hollow core and end plates of plastic foam, a circular external surface and an internal surface provided by said hollow core, annular shoulder means provided by said end plates in frictional engagement with said internal surface of said hollow core, said end plates having aligned central holes in communication with said internal surface of said hollow core, and tapered surfaces on said end plates extending outwardly from said circular external surface of said hollow core, said end plates have other annular shoulder means and straight surfaces extending outwardly therefrom and normal to an axis extending through said holes, said other annular shoulder means adapted to be positioned within said internal surface of said hollow core so that said straight surfaces extend outwardly from said circular external surface of said hollow core.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
130 words
A storage reel comprising a hollow core and end plates of plastic foam, a circular external surface and an internal surface provided by said hollow core, groove means disposed in one side of said end plates, ends of said hollow core frictionally disposed in said groove means, and tapered surfaces provided by said end plates in communication with said circular external surface of said hollow core, other groove means are disposed in other sides of said end plates and straight surfaces extending outwardly from said other groove means substantially normal with respect to a reeling axis of said reel so that when said ends of said hollow core are disposed in said other groove means, said straight surfaces are in communication with said circular external surface of said hollow core.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
A storage reel comprising a hollow core and end plates of plastic foam, a circular external surface and an internal surface provided by said hollow core, groove means disposed in one side of said end plates, ends of said hollow core frictionally disposed in said groove means, and tapered surfaces provided by said end plates in communication with said circular external surface of said hollow core, other groove means are disposed in other sides of said end plates and straight surfaces extending outwardly from said other groove means substantially normal with respect to a reeling axis of said reel so that when said ends of said hollow core are disposed in said other groove means, said straight surfaces are in communication with said circular external surface of said hollow core.
