Reel for line braking system

Abstract

A reel for a brake line system includes a central metal keyed hub with a plurality of metal spokes extending from the hub to C-shaped members. The C-shaped members are, in turn, welded to first and second rims. The C-shaped members and the rims combine to form an annular channel that will support and hold rope or line for use by electrical utilities. The spokes, C-shaped members and rims are all formed from metal rod, which allows the structure to be repaired if damaged.

1 . A reel adapted to hold line and attach to a line braking system comprising:
 a hub adapted to attach to an axle of a line braking system;   a plurality of spaced metal rods extended radially from said hub;   a plurality of metal C-shaped members fixed to ends of said rods, said C-shaped members having two opposed ends, one each of said ends fixed to a first and second metal rim;   said C-shaped members combining to provide an annular channel supporting said line.   
   
   
       2 . The reel claimed in  claim 1  having two rods extended from said hub to at least one C-shaped member. 
   
   
       3 . The reel claimed in  claim 2  wherein said reel includes four pairs of rods extending from said hub radially outward to four separate of said C-shaped members. 
   
   
       4 . The reel claimed in  claim 3  further comprising a plurality of single rods extending from said hub to separate of said C-shaped members. 
   
   
       5 . The reel claimed in  claim 1  attached to a pilot line system with an axle of said pilot line system extended through said hub.
