Abstract
The invention relates to a reel for a winder, comprising: a mandrel (10) extending around an axis of rotation (X) of the reel, a plurality of pairs of lateral arms (20a, 20b) extending on both sides of the mandrel (10), together acting as flanks defining, between them, a winding volume for the link, said reel being characterised in that it comprises a closed flange (40) attached to the arms (20a) constituting one of said flanks, said flange having a thickness of between 10 and 40 mm.

A reel for the winding and unwinding of a link, comprising:
- a mandrel extending around an axis of rotation of the reel;
- and
- a plurality of pairs of lateral arms extending on both sides of the mandrel, together acting as flanks defining between them a winding volume for the link,
- wherein said reel comprises a closed flange attached to the arms constituting one of said flanks, said closed flange having a thickness of between 10 and 40 mm, wherein the mandrel has a thickness of between 20 and 40 mm, and wherein the closed flange is attached to each arm constituting one of the flanks by threaded rods or screws, each threaded rod or screw passing through an oblong hole of the closed flange and an oblong hole of the respective arm, said oblong holes being oriented along substantially orthogonal directions.
A method for manufacturing a reel having a mandrel extending around an axis of rotation of the reel and a plurality of pairs of lateral arms extending on both sides of the mandrel, together acting as flanks defining between them a winding volume for the link, wherein said reel comprises a closed flange attached to the arms constituting one of said flanks, the method comprising:
- supplying the mandrel and the closed flange;
- attaching the lateral arms on both sides of the mandrel to form two flanks;
- and
- attaching the closed flange on the lateral arms constituting one of the flanks, the closed flange having a thickness of between 10 and 40 mm, the mandrel having a thickness of between 20 and 40 mm,
- wherein the closed flange is attached to each arm constituting one of the flanks by threaded rods or screws, each threaded rod or screw passing through an oblong hole of the closed flange and an oblong hole of the respective arm, said oblong holes being oriented along substantially orthogonal directions.
