Abstract
A fiber winding and storage assembly is disclosed. The fiber winding and storage assembly includes a fiber winding fixture and a fiber storage device. The fiber winding fixture may include a winding structure, a handle member, and a mounting member. The winding structure has a first side and a second side where the first side defines a recess therein. The handle member is disposed on the second side of the winding structure. The mounting member is disposed within the recess of the winding structure and extends perpendicularly therefrom. The fiber storage device is received within the recess of the fiber winding fixture. In a second embodiment for the fiber winding fixture, the winding fixture also includes a push button and a biasing member. The push button is mounted in the handle member and biased to a first position within the fiber winding fixture. A user is able to apply a force to the push button from a location under the handle member to overcome the biasing force and extend a portion of the push button up through the recess of the winding structure. When the push button is pushed by a user to extend up through the recess, the push button assists the user in removing a fiber storage device that is positioned within the fiber winding structure from the winding structure.
