Abstract

See full text

The present invention combines the advantages of a prior art figure of 8 winding pattern with the traditional circular or oval pattern for packaging flexible cord to form what can be called a 'figure of 80 pattern' which includes a generally S-shaped partial cord layer with the end of the S joining with a J-shaped portion arranged so that the straight portion of the J forms a continuation of the S and the curved portion of the J overlies the beginning of the S-shaped portion. This basic combination of S and J shapes designates only partial layers, the pattern can be repeated, that basic pattern can be connected to a plurality of oval turn layers or even a plurality of figure 8 turn layers as the user may elect. It is also possible to continue to merely alternate the basic layer form to provide a package having a high packaging density while permitting easy accommodation of fittings which are secured to the end of the cord.
