DEFINITION

Classification: 242/434.3

Having material guide slidable on spool:

(under subclass 434.2) Subject matter wherein the spool includes a mounting surface movably supporting a guide for directing the elongated material from the loops to the core as the spool is rotated though the central aperture in the ring-shaped core.

(1) Note. Typically, material is wound on the core by rotating the spool in one direction while the guide acts as a shuttle mounted on a rim of the spool to direct the elongated material over the spool rim to the core. The guide normally slides on the spool so that egress of material from the spool is dependent on the rate of winding on the core rather than the rotation of the supply spool.
