Abstract
A lock for locking adjacent spools that have parallel, non-collinear adjacent axes of rotation hasfirst and second locking plates with spool-engaging surfaces. A locking member connects the locking plates. The locking member is connected to an intermediate position on each of the first and second locking plates. The locking member has a release position and a locking position. In the locking position, the spool-engaging surfaces clamp against adjacent spools.

A lock for locking adjacent spools that have parallel, non-collinear adjacent axes of rotation, the lock comprising:
- first and second locking plates, each plate having first and second spool-engaging surfaces;
- a length-adjustable member connecting the locking plates, the length-adjustable member being positioned between the first and second spool-engaging surfaces with the spool-engaging surfaces of each plate facing the other spool-engaging surface, the length-adjustable member having a release position and a locking position, in the locking position, the first spool-engaging surfaces engaging a first spool, and the second spool-engaging surfaces engaging a second spool.
