Abstract
An apparatus for coiling, storing and uncoiling a wire rope. The apparatus includes a closed container rotatable about an axis thereof and defining a circular space in which to receive the wire rope. A conduit for guiding the wire rope into the interior of the container is rotatably disposed therein in alignment with the axis of rotation of the container. The conduit has an inlet which opens to the exterior of the container, and has an outlet which extends radially and athwart within the container. When the wire rope is introduced lengthwise into the inlet of the conduit, a relative rotation occurs between the container and the conduit, coiling the rope along the sidewall of the container.
