Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A cable reel device, comprising: a stationary fixture including a substantially planar surface; a rotatable mover mounted on said stationary fixture, said rotatable mover including a planar surface; a cylindrical holder member supported on said rotatable mover; a sheet of low friction material attached to said substantially planar surface of said stationary fixture; and a flat cable wound around said cylindrical holder member with said flat cable positioned such that one edge of said flat cable contacts said sheet of low friction material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A cable reel device, comprising: a stationary fixture including a substantially planar surface; a rotatable mover mounted on said stationary fixture, said rotatable mover including a planar surface; a cylindrical holder member supported on said rotatable mover; a sheet of low friction material attached to said substantially planar surface of said stationary fixture; and a flat cable wound around said cylindrical holder member with said flat cable positioned such that one edge of said flat cable contacts said sheet of low friction material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A cable reel device as recited in claim 1, wherein said stationary fixture includes a concave portion with a plurality of concave portion projections.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A cable reel device as recited in claim 2, wherein said sheet of low friction material includes projecting portions on its outer periphery, said projecting portions being adapted to fit within said concave portion projections of said stationary fixture.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A cable reel device as recited in claim 1, wherein a resilient elastic sheet of material is interposed between said sheet of low friction material and said stationary fixture.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
A cable reel device as recited in claim 1, wherein a sheet of low friction material is attached to said planar surface of said rotatable mover to permit the other edge of said flat cable to move freely when contacting said low friction material attached to said rotatable mover.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
