Abstract

A restriction device for preventing deformation of restriction plate of reel is disclosed. The restriction device includes a first circular restrictor, a second circular restrictor, a block member and a first push member. A clamping space exists between the first and second circular restrictors mounted on a shaft and is configured to accommodate a reel mounted on the shaft. The second circular restrictor is able to be moved on the shaft in an axial direction, the block member is fixed on the shaft and the first push member is placed between the block member and the second circular restrictor. The first push member is configured to apply a force to push the second circular restrictor toward the first circular restrictor to press a first restriction plate of the reel such that the deformation of the first restriction plate is prevented.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A restriction device which is mounted on a shaft to clamp a reel, the restriction device comprising:
a first circular restrictor mounted on the shaft;
a second circular restrictor including a first mount hole, the second circular restrictor is mounted on the shaft slidably in an axial direction through the first mount hole, a clamping space exists between the first and second circular restrictors and is configured to accommodate the reel mounted on the shaft;
a block member fixed on the shaft, the second circular restrictor is located between the first circular restrictor and the block member; and
a first push member placed between the block member and the second circular restrictor, the first push member is configured to apply a force to push the second circular restrictor toward the first circular restrictor to press a first restriction plate of the reel.

2. The restriction device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a lock member mounted on the shaft, wherein the block member is located between the second circular restrictor and the lock member, and the lock member is configured to fix the block member on the shaft.

3. The restriction device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein there is a guide rod between the block member and the second circular restrictor, the first push member is slidably mounted on the guide rod, a first end and a second end of the first push member contact the block member and the second circular restrictor, respectively.

4. The restriction device in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the block member includes a second mount hole and a guide hole, the block member is mounted on the shaft through the second mount hole, the guide rod is inserted into the guide hole and configured to be moved in the guide hole together with the second circular restrictor while the second circular restrictor is moved toward the block member or the first circular restrictor.

5. The restriction device in accordance with claim 4 , wherein the block member is rotated together with the second circular restrictor.

6. The restriction device in accordance with claim 2 further comprising a wedge, wherein the wedge includes a through hole and a wedging portion which is an edge of the through hole, the lock member includes a body, an accommodation groove and a third mount hole, the accommodation groove is recessed on the body, the third mount hole penetrates through the body and communicates with the accommodation groove, the lock member is mounted on the shaft through the third mount hole, the wedge is placed in the accommodation groove movably and mounted on the shaft slidably through the through hole, the wedging portion of the wedge is configured to be clamped in a positioning groove on the shaft to fix the lock member on the shaft.

7. The restriction device in accordance with claim 6 further comprising a second push member placed in the accommodation groove, wherein the second push member is configured to push the wedge to allow the wedging portion to be clamped in the positioning groove of the shaft.

8. The restriction device in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the lock member further includes a lid connected to the body, the lid is configured to cover the accommodation groove to restrict the wedge in the accommodation groove.

9. The restriction device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein there is a first notch formed on a wall of the first mount hole and a bulge formed on the shaft, the bulge is inserted into the first notch such that the second circular restrictor is driven to rotate together with the shaft when the shaft is rotated.

10. The restriction device in accordance with claim 6 , wherein there is a second notch formed on a wall of the third mount hole and a bulge formed on the shaft, the bulge is inserted into the second notch such that the lock member is driven to rotate together with the shaft when the shaft is rotated.

11. The restriction device in accordance with claim 9 , wherein there is a second notch formed on a wall of the third mount hole and a bulge formed on the shaft, the bulge is inserted into the second notch such that the lock member is driven to rotate together with the shaft when the shaft is rotated.

12. The restriction device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first circular restrictor is mounted on a fixed end of the shaft, the second circular restrictor and the block member are mounted on a free end of the shaft.

13. The restriction device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the second circular restrictor is configured to press a plurality of supporting ribs of the first restriction plate of the reel.
