Abstract
The invention provides a device for winding a flexible tube, the device comprising 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. The device is remarkable in that: 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), the device being characterized in that:
- 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 (α) of not less than 180°.
