Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed by which ropes and similar elongated objects can be accumulated in storage cans. The object is advanced through an upright stationary upstream guide tube and through a rotating downstream guide tube and its discharging end distant from the axis of rotation. A braking drum coaxially surrounds the orbiting trajectory of the discharging end of the downstream guide tube so that the portions of the objects which are being discharged through the discharging end impinge against the inner surface of the braking drum. The inner surface of the braking drum is arched, such as partly circular or partly parabolical in axial section and the objects rebound therefrom at an angle corresponding to the angle of incidence of the object on the inner surface. The downstream guide tube has a cross section exceeding that of the upstream guide tube. A ceramic annular element is arranged at the lower end of the upstream guide tube. The downstream guide tube is welded in a rotary body and the discharging end thereof is flush with the outer periphery of the rotary body. The upstream guide tube is accommodated in a hollow shaft of the motor which directly drives the rotary body.
