    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for automatically thread and take up an optical waveguide fiber on a spool at the time of drawing the optical waveguide fiber. SOLUTION: This device is used for threading the fiber which is continuously supplied by a supplying device and is taken up on the spool. A recovering device 80 exists adjacently to the supplying device and recovers the fiber by withdrawing the fiber from the supplying device for applying tension on the fiber 14 between the supplying device and the recovering device. A positioning device 90 exists between the supplying device and the recovering device and has a hooking part for hooking the continuously recovered fiber. The device moves from the position adjacent to the supplying position of the fiber to the position adjacent to the spool in order to move the fiber to at least one threading position by biting the fiber. The threading device automatically threads the fiber in at least one threading position to the spool.

    Abstract: An apparatus for threading a fiber that is being continuously supplied by a supplying device (11) for winding on a spool, includes a collecting device (80), adjacent to the supplying device, that collects the fiber by urging the fiber from the supplying device (11) into the collecting device (80) to provide a tension (20) in the fiber between the supplying device and the collecting device, a positioning device (90) that engages the fiber, between the supplying device (11) and the collecting device (80), with an engaging portion that allows the fiber to be continuously collected in the collecting device (80) and that moves from a position adjacent to the supplying device (11) and the collecting device (80) to a position adjacent to the spool (70,70') to move the fiber to at least one threading position, and a threading device that automatically threads the fiber at the at least one threading position onto the spool.

    Abstract: An optical fiber shipping spool (22), winding system and method for allowing automated winding of an accessible lead meter portion of optical fiber onto the spool (22). The spool comprises primary and lead meter barrels (24, 28) separated by an outboard flange (26). The outboard flange (26) has a slot (32) extending to its periphery, the slot (32) providing a path for fiber between the lead meter and primary barrels, the slot (32) having an inlet facing the lead meter barrel (28) and an outlet facing the primary barrel (24). The slot (32) is angled such that when fiber being wound onto the lead meter barrel (28) comes into contact with the slot inlet, the fiber is automatically drawn into the slot (32) and then guided by the slot (32) onto the primary barrel (24). According to another aspect, a high-strength rib configuration is disclosed including a plurality of curved, intersecting ribs (90) formed on a flange (26D) of the spool
