Abstract
Abstract A package for the storage of cable. The package includes a rigid cylindrical central core and a pair of spaced, circular flanges rigidly interconnected to the opposite ends of the core in substantially parallel relationship. A cable receiving space is defined between the flanges and on the core with the cable being positioned in the cable receiving space. A flexible cable cover of unique design is mounted over the stored cable and between the flanges. The cable cover comprises a continuous outer flexible sheet, preferably of a paper material, and a plurality of upright supporting walls which are secured to the sheet along one side and which define a plurality of transverse cells, the cells being positionable against the outermost layer of cable. Straps are provided for rigidly securing the flexible cover around the cable and between the flanges.

A flexible packing material comprising only a continuous outer flexible sheet, and a plurality of upright walls in closely adjacent relationship defining adjacent cells and each wall having a first edge and a second edge, said first edges only being rigidly secured to one surface of said outer flexible sheet so that portions of said walls secured to said sheet are substantially incompressible towards each other, and said second edges of said walls being movable towards and away from each other along said second edges.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The article of claim 1 wherein said continuous outer flexible sheet and said upright walls are made of paper material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The article of claim 2 wherein said walls are of substantially the same height and define a honeycomb formation.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
152 words
A package for the storage of insulated multi-strand cable, said package comprising, in combination a rigid core, a pair of spaced flanges rigidly interconnected to said core in spaced relationship to each other, a cable receiving space defined between said flanges and on said core, cable being wound around the core between the flanges in said space, a flexible cable cover means for protecting said insulated cable, said cover means being wrapped around said cable and between said flanges, said cover means comprising only a continuous outer flexible sheet and a plurality of upright walls having a first edge and a second edge and defining a plurality of adjacent upright cells, said walls being secured to said sheet only along said first edge and not along said second edge and said second edge being positioned against the outer layer of said cable, and means for rigidly securing said cover around said cable.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
152 words
A package for the storage of insulated multi-strand cable, said package comprising, in combination a rigid core, a pair of spaced flanges rigidly interconnected to said core in spaced relationship to each other, a cable receiving space defined between said flanges and on said core, cable being wound around the core between the flanges in said space, a flexible cable cover means for protecting said insulated cable, said cover means being wrapped around said cable and between said flanges, said cover means comprising only a continuous outer flexible sheet and a plurality of upright walls having a first edge and a second edge and defining a plurality of adjacent upright cells, said walls being secured to said sheet only along said first edge and not along said second edge and said second edge being positioned against the outer layer of said cable, and means for rigidly securing said cover around said cable.
