Abstract:
Cord winding apparatuses and methods for making and using same. In some examples, the cord winding apparatuses can include a spool support rod configured to extend through an orifice of a spool. The spool support rod can include external threads and can be configured for driving into ground covering. The cord winding apparatus can also include a first flange plate fixed to the spool support rod, and a second flange plate having internal threads that are configured to engage the external threads of the spool support rod. The second flange plate can be used for securing the spool to the spool support rod and for connection to a driver for rotational movement for winding cords.

Claim (Index 1):
A cord winding apparatus comprising:\n a spool support rod having a first end and a second end, and having an elongated cylindrical body extending between the first end and the second end and having a rod center axis, the spool support rod configured to extend through a spool orifice of a spool, and the spool support rod including external threads along at least a portion of the body adjacent to the first end of the spool support rod, and wherein the first end of the spool support rod is configured for driving into a ground covering and the second end is configured for engaging a driver for rotating the spool support rod about the rod center axis; a first flange plate fixed to the rod body at a position spaced from the second rod end, the first flange plate configured to engage a spool flange of the spool to resist movement of the spool toward the second rod end when the spool support rod extends through the spool orifice; and a second flange plate having a second flange plate bore with internal threads that are complementary to the external threads of the spool support rod such that the internal threads and external threads are configured to engage one another to attach the second flange plate to the spool support rod, and to disengage from one another to detach the second flange plate from the spool support rod, and wherein the second flange plate is configured to engage another spool flange of the spool to resist movement of the spool toward the first rod end when the spool support rod extends through the spool orifice and the second flange plate is attached to the spool support rod.
