Abstract
A cable reel structure includes a mobile member including a top guard portion, from which extend at least two (first and second) connector units configured to receive outside circuits. Each of the connector units contains bus bars extending therethrough, such that the bus bars can be bonded to the outside circuits by a welding machine equipped with an anvil and a horn. The connector units are placed in staggered positions to each other, and with respect to a diametrical center line of the cable reel, such that, even after the mobile member has been mounted onto the fixed member, the welding of the bus bars to the outside circuits can be performed, successively in the first connector unit and the second connector unit, by rotating the mobile member after the welding has been performed in the first connector unit. Ultrasonic or resistance welding can thus be effected in those connector units more easily.
