Multiple conductor container
View Patent ↗A container may be provided. The container may comprise a first surface and a second surface associated with the first surface. The first surface and the second surface may define a volume. The volume may house a length of multiple single conductors.
1. A container comprising:
an outer a first surface; and
a core second surface associated with the outer surface, the outer surface and the core surface defining a volume within the container that housing multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors arranged in parallel and layered together such that the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are at least partially touching each other when about the core within the container,
wherein one end of each of the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors remains stationary with respect to the container when the other end of each of the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors is removed from the container.
2. The container of claim 1 , wherein the outer surface defines at least one opening, the at least one opening sized to allow a user to estimate a quantity of the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors located in the container.
3. The container of claim 1 , wherein the core comprises a conical profile.
4. The container of claim 1 , wherein the container houses at least 500 feet of each of the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors.
5. The container of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors comprises an insulation or a jacket comprising a lubricant.
6. The container of claim 1 , further comprising a middle surface concentric with the second surface core, wherein the outer surface and the middle surface define a first volume for housing a first set of multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors and the core and the middle surface define a second volume for housing a second set of multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors.
7. The container of claim 1 , further comprising a wire guide.
8. The container of claim 7 , wherein the wire guide allows the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors to travel in only one direction.
9. The container of claim 1 , wherein the container is capable of stacking on top of a second container.
10. A container comprising:
a base; and
a core surface projecting from the base, that receives the surface defining a core receiving a plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors arranged in parallel and layered together such that the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are at least partially touching each other when about the core wherein one end of each of the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors remains stationary with respect to the container when the other end of each of the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors is removed from the container.
11. The container of claim 10 , wherein the core projects normal to the base.
12. The container of claim 10 , wherein the core has a conical profile.
13. The container of claim 1 , wherein the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors comprise multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed cables arranged in parallel.
14. The container of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors comprise a plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed cables arranged in parallel.
15. The container of claim 1 , wherein the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are not constrained by the outer surface or the core.
16. The container of claim 1 , wherein there is space between at least part of the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors and the outer surface.
17. The container of claim 1 , wherein there is space between at least part of the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors and the core.
18. The container of claim 1 , wherein the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are not in constant contact with the outer surface.
19. The container of claim 1 , wherein the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are not in constant contact with the core.
20. The container of claim 1 , wherein the outer surface and the core are stationary with respect to one another.
21. The container of claim 7 , wherein the wire guide comprises a shaped surface comprising rollers.
22. The container of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are not constrained by the core.
23. The container of claim 10 , wherein there is space between at least part of the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors and the core.
24. The container of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are not in constant contact with the core.
25. The container of claim 10 , wherein the core and the base are stationary with respect to one another.
26. A container comprising:
An outer surface; and
a core associated with the outer surface, the outer surface and the core defining a volume within the container that housing multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors arranged in parallel and layered together such that the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are at least partially touching each other when about the core within the container,
wherein the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors remaining about the outer surface and the core first or second surfaces do not rotate separate from the container as one end of the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors is removed from the container.
27. The container of claim 1 , wherein the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are removed from the container along a different plane than the plane in which the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are arranged within the container.
28. The container of claim 1 , wherein the multiple freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are removed from the container at equal lengths.
29. A container comprising:
a base; and
a surface projecting from the base, the surface defining a core receiving a plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors arranged in parallel and layered together such that the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are at least partially touching each other when about the core,
wherein the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors remaining about the core do not rotate with respect to the container as one end of the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors is removed from the container.
30. The container of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are removed from the container along a different plane than the plane in which the plurality of freely associated unbound individually sheathed conductors are arranged within the container.
