Abstract
A reel for transporting elongate articles has a pair of substantially flat and round discs, and a hub of a cylindrical shape and interposed between the discs to connect them one to another. Hooks each having a hooking head and a body are secured to an inner periphery of the hub. One or more resilient pawls are provided for each disc, the pawl having a locking end and a body also secured to the inner periphery. The hooking heads are bent perpendicular to the respective bodies, facing in the same circular direction and protruding from open ends of the hub beyond an outer face of each disc. The locking end of the pawl is elastically and temporarily displaceable in an axial direction of the hub. Slots are formed in each disc for engagement with the respective the hooking heads. At least one aperture is also formed in each disc for engagement with the locking ends of the resilient pawls, such that the reel can be assembled and disassembled easily and readily to make it possible to pack the reels compact in a cargo when they have been emptied.
