Abstract
The spool assembly comprising a spool, a surface of the spool including one or more recesses in which a line member is adapted to be retained, and a cover portion adapted to be positioned over at least a portion of the spool such that, in use, the line member is prevented from passing between the spool and an inner surface of the cover portion.

The spool assembly comprising a line member, a frustoconical spool, an outer surface of the spool including one or more recesses adapted to retain the line member therein, and a cover portion adapted to be positioned over at least a portion of the spool, wherein at least a portion of an inner surface of the cover portion is provided with a complementary shape to the outer surface of the spool such that, in use, the distance between the inner surface of the cover portion and the outer surface of the spool is less than the diameter of the line member so as to preclude the line member from moving between the inner surface of the cover portion and the outer surface of the spool, and wherein the spool assembly is provided with a locking mechanism to prevent rotation of the spool relative to the cover portion during transportation or installation.
The spool assembly comprising a frustoconical spool, an outer surface of the spool including one or more recesses adapted to retain a line member therein, and a cover portion in which at least a portion of the spool is housed, at least a portion of an inner surface of the cover portion being provided with a complementary shape to the outer surface of the spool and wherein the spool is positioned relative to the cover portion such that the distance between the inner surface of the cover portion and the outer surface of the spool is less than the depth of said recesses so as to ensure that the line member is retained in the one or more recesses, and wherein the spool assembly is provided with a locking mechanism to prevent rotation of the spool relative to the cover portion during transportation or installation.
