Abstract
A device for winding a flexible tube, the device including two identical blades LA placed opposite ways round one against the other and pivotally secured to each other about their respective axes of axial symmetry, which together constitute a pivot axis PIV. One of the blades presents in its left edge an upwardly open notch EC that is formed by a first circular arc ARC1 having its origin at a connection point PR situated on the right edge of the notch and on the longitudinal axis LG of the blade; a diameter of the first circular arc lying on the longitudinal axis; and the first circular arc presenting a central angle α of not less than 180°.

A device for winding a flexible tube, the device comprising two identical blades (LA, 21, 22) placed opposite ways round one against the other and pivotally secured to each other about their respective axes of axial symmetry, which together constitute a pivot axis (PIV), wherein:
- one of said blades (LA) presents in its left edge an upwardly open notch (EC) that is formed by a first circular arc (ARC1) having its origin at a connection point (PR) situated on the right edge of the notch and on the longitudinal axis (LG) of said blade;
- a diameter of said first circular arc lying on said longitudinal axis;
- and
- said first circular arc presenting a central angle (a) of not less than 180°;
- and
- wherein, when said device is opened such that the two blades are spaced apart, an opening between said blades and facing said notch incorporates a circle having said diameter.
A device for winding a flexible tube, the device comprising two identical blades (LA, 21, 22) placed opposite ways round one against the other and pivotally secured to each other at a symmetrical pivot axis;
- wherein each of said blades comprises at one end an open notch (EC) formed by a first circular arc (ARC1) originating at a connection point (PR) located on an edge of the notch closest to the pivot axis and on a longitudinal axis (LG) of said blade;
- wherein a diameter of said first circular arc lies on said longitudinal axis;
- wherein said first circular arc presents a central angle (α) of not less than 180°;
- and
- wherein, when said device is opened such that the two blades are spaced apart, an opening between opposing distal ends of said two blades is at least as large as said diameter.
