Arrangement for unwinding cable wound onto a spool

Abstract

An arrangement for unwinding a cable wound onto a spool (5) includes a central drum (5A) and two side flanges (5B). The arrangement includes at least one independent stand (1) having a protrusion (4) for fastening the independent stand (1) to at least one retaining orifice (5F) of a side flange of the spool (5). At least one adapter bushing to be disposed between the protrusion (4) of the independent stand (1) and the at least one retaining orifice (5F) of one of the side flanges of the spool (5). The at least one adapter bushing is configured to removably fasten the independent stand (1) to the one of the side flanges of the spool (5).

1 . An arrangement for unwinding a cable wound onto a spool made up of a central drum and two side flanges, the arrangement comprising:
 at least one independent stand comprising a protrusion for fastening the independent stand to at least one retaining orifice of a side flange of the spool,   at least one adapter bushing to be disposed between said protrusion of said independent stand and said at least one retaining orifice of one of the side flanges of the spool, said at least one adapter bushing being configured to removably fasten said independent stand to said one of the side flanges of the spool.   
     
     
         2 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the adapter bushing comprises a body with a first connecting end configured to be removably fastened to said protrusion and a second connecting end configured to be removably fastened to said at least one retaining orifice of the side flanges. 
     
     
         3 . The arrangement according to  claim 2 , wherein said body forms at the first connecting end an aperture to receive said protrusion, when the adapter bushing is connected to said independent stand, said body further forming at the first connecting end a retention surface configured to retain said protrusion when the adapter bushing is connected to said independent stand. 
     
     
         4 . The arrangement according to  claim 3 , wherein said protrusion comprises a clipping element configured to be clipped on said first connecting end of said adapter bushing, when said protrusion is fitted in the aperture of said adapter bushing. 
     
     
         5 . The arrangement according to  claim 4 , wherein said clipping element is configured to be clipped on said first connecting end, using a key providing the expansion of said clipping element on said first connecting end and configured to be actuated from outside said arrangement. 
     
     
         6 . The arrangement according to  claim 2 , wherein said body of said adapter bushing comprises at the second connecting end at least one retaining tab configured to be clipped on said side flange at said at least one retaining orifice. 
     
     
         7 . The arrangement according to  claim 6 , wherein said adapter bushing further comprises a bearing outer surface distinct from said at least one retaining tab, said bearing outer surface being configured to provide a close fit cooperation with an inner bearing surface formed on said side flange so as to bear radial load from the spool. 
     
     
         8 . The arrangement according to  claim 2 , wherein said body of said adapter bushing comprises at the second connecting end at least one locking nib configured to be inserted in at least one locking orifice of said side flange to prevent rotation between said adapter bushing and said side flange when the at least one locking nib is inserted in said at least one locking orifice. 
     
     
         9 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein said independent stand bears a support element articulated from an idle position, where said support element is integrated in a corresponding slot formed by said independent stand, to an active position, where the support element is configured to support and lift the spool when resting on a plane. 
     
     
         10 . A cable unwinding set comprising the arrangement according to  claim 1  and a spool having a central drum and two side flanges, said arrangement comprising two independent stands and two adapter bushings for removably fastening each of the independent stands to a side flange of the spool. 
     
     
         11 . The cable unwinding set according to  claim 10 , wherein each side flange comprises a plurality of retaining orifices configured to receive an adapter bushing for a clipping arrangement, said plurality of retaining orifices extending in circular form around a central portion of the side flange. 
     
     
         12 . An adapter bushing to be disposed between a protrusion of an independent stand and a side flange of a spool, said adapter bushing being configured to removably fasten said independent stand to said side flange of the spool.
