Reel support device
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a reel support device including a separation member that separates a reel from a floor surface as the reel rolls and a support member that supports the reel at a separated position so that the reel is rotatable about its center.
1. A reel support device comprising:
a separation member that separates a reel from a floor surface as the reel rolls; and
a support member that moves parallel to the floor surface and supports the reel at a separated position so that the reel is rotatable about its center.
2. The reel support device according to claim 1 , wherein the separation member is a holding plate arranged on the floor surface, and the holding plate includes a slope and a reel holding surface that is continuous with the slope.
3. The reel support device according to claim 1 , wherein the support member is moved along a rail.
4. The reel support device according to claim 1 , wherein the support member is movable between a first position that corresponds to a reel holding surface of the separation member and a second position that is separated from the first position.
5. The reel support device according to claim 4 , further comprising a drive member that moves the support member between the first position and the second position.
6. The reel support device according to claim 1 , wherein the support member includes a shaft support that is movable between a position where the shaft support supports the center of the reel and a position separated from that position.
7. The reel support device according to claim 6 , wherein the support member includes a pushing member that pushes the reel supported by the shaft support.
8. The reel support device according to claim 1 , further comprising a guide member that guides the reel toward a predetermined position in the support member.
9. A reel support device comprising:
a separation member arranged on a floor surface and including a slope that separates a reel from the floor surface as the reel rolls and a reel holding surface that is continuous with the slope;
a support member that moves parallel to the floor surface and supports the reel to be rotatable about its center when the reel is separated from the floor, wherein the support member is movable along a rail between a first position that corresponds to the reel holding surface of the separation member and a second position that is separated from the first position;
a drive member that moves the support member between the first position and the second position;
a shaft support arranged in the support member, wherein the shaft support is movable between a position where the shaft support supports the center of the reel and a position separated from that position;
a pushing member arranged in the support member, wherein the pushing member pushes the reel that is supported by the shaft support; and
a guide member that guides the reel toward a predetermined position in the support member.
