A holding system and methods, systems, and apparatuses for constructing, assembling, and using the holding system are disclosed. The holding system can include an arbor bushing. The arbor bushing can include a head portion. The holding system can also include a plate attached to the arbor bushing. A pad can be attached to the plate. The head portion of the arbor bushing extends outward beyond a surface of the pad.

Claims (19)

1. A holding system comprising:

a plate defining a center opening;

an arbor bushing comprising a head portion inserted through the center opening of the plate, wherein the arbor bushing is attached to the plate; and

a pad attached to the plate, wherein the head portion of the arbor bushing extends outward beyond a surface of the pad.

2. The holding system of claim 1 , wherein the arbor bushing further comprises a collar portion.

3. The holding system of claim 2 , wherein the arbor bushing is attached to the plate via the collar portion of the arbor bushing.

4. The holding system of claim 1 , wherein the pad comprises a channel recessed below the surface of the pad.

5. The holding system of claim 1 , wherein the pad is constructed from a material that has a coefficient of friction that allows the pad to hold a reel as the reel is rotating.

6. The holding system of claim 1 , wherein the head portion comprises a truncated cone part.

7. The holding system of claim 6 , wherein the head portion of the arbor bushing further comprises a cylindrical part, wherein the arbor bushing further comprises a collar portion and an internal bore extending from proximate the truncated cone part of the head portion through the cylindrical part of the head portion, and wherein the internal bore of the arbor bushing is accessible via an opening in the collar portion of the arbor bushing.

8. A holding system comprising:

a plate defining a center opening;

an arbor bushing comprising a head portion inserted through the center opening of the plate, wherein the plate is attached to the arbor bushing; and

a pad attached to the plate, wherein the pad comprises a channel recessed below a surface of the pad.

9. The holding system of claim 8 , wherein the arbor bushing further comprises a collar portion.

10. The holding system of claim 9 , wherein the plate is attached to the arbor bushing via the collar portion of the arbor bushing.

11. The holding system of claim 9 , wherein the head portion comprises a truncated cone part.

12. The holding system of claim 8 , wherein the pad is constructed from a material that has a coefficient of friction that allows the pad to hold a reel as the reel is rotating.

13. The holding system of claim 11 , wherein the head portion of the arbor bushing further comprises a cylindrical part, wherein the arbor bushing further comprises an internal bore extending from proximate the truncated cone part of the head portion through the cylindrical part of the head portion, and wherein the internal bore of the arbor bushing is accessible via an opening in the collar portion of the arbor bushing.
