The present invention provides a box and a method of shipping a cable drum enabling the cable to be unwound in full or in part while the drum is inside said box. The shipping box comprises a bottomless chest for surrounding the drum and a device for unwinding the cable wound on the drum, which drum is provided with an axial opening through which there passes a shaft. The device has two supports each provided with a respective bearing, the supports being secured to two opposite internal side walls of the chest, the box being capable of occupying two positions: a transport position in which the shaft of the drum is not supported by the bearings, and a cable-unwinding position in which the shaft of the drum is supported by the bearings, thus enabling the drum to rotate about said shaft.

What is claimed is: 1. A shipping box for a cable drum, the box comprising: a chest for surrounding said drum; and a device for unwinding the cable wound on the drum, the drum has an axial opening with a shaft passing therethrough, said device having two supports, each provided with a bearing, the supports being secured to two opposite internal side walls of said chest, said box being capable of taking up two positions: a transport position in which the shaft of the drum is not supported by said bearings; and a cable-unwinding position in which the shaft of the drum is supported by said bearings, allowing the drum to rotate about said shaft. 2. A shipping box according to claim 1, wherein, starting from the transport position, said cable-unwinding position is obtained by tilting the shipping box. 3. A shipping box according to claim 2, wherein said cable-unwinding position is obtained by turning said box upside-down. 4. A shipping box according to claim 1, wherein said chest is in the form of a square or rectangular parallelepiped, said supports being applied to two opposite parallel inside walls. 5. A shipping box according to claim 1, wherein said bearings are substantially in the form of forks, the two ends of said shaft being placed firstly facing the open portion of the fork when the shipping box is in the transport position, and secondly bearing against the bottom of the fork when the shipping box is in the cable-unwinding position. 6. A shipping box according to claim 1, wherein said bearing supports are made from cardboard folded in such a manner as to form both said bearings and lateral reinforcements for said internal side walls of said box. 7. A shipping box according to claim 6, wherein the supports are substantially U-shaped. 8. A shipping box according to claim 1, including a shipping floor on which said drum rests when the box is in the transport position. 9. A shipping box according to claim 8, wherein said shipping floor is constituted by a transport pallet. 10. A shipping box according to claim 9, including means for fastening said drum to said floor when the box is in the transport position. 11. A shipping box according to claim 8, wherein the shape of said chest in section substantially parallel to the ground corresponds to the shape of said shipping floor, said chest being secured to said floor. 12. A shipping box according to claim 1, wherein said chest is made of cardboard. 13. A shipping box according to claim 1, wherein at least one wall of said chest includes a window through which the cable can pass in order to be unwound. 14. A method of shipping and unwinding a cable wound on a drum having an axial opening and held on a shipping floor, said drum and said floor being placed inside a box constituted by a chest and a cable-unwinding device, said method comprising the following steps: placing a shaft in said opening, the two ends of said shaft projecting slightly outside said opening; securing two supports inside said chest, each support being provided with a bearing; bringing said box over said drum and lowering it so as to surround said drum and said shipping floor and so as to position the two ends of said shaft facing said bearings during transport of said drum in said box; and in order to unwind the cable in full or in part, tilting said box until said two ends of said shaft are supported by said bearings and said drum is separated from said floor. 15. A method according to claim 14, wherein said box is turned upside-down so as to enable the cable to be unwound in full or in part. 16. A method according to claim 14, wherein said drum is strapped to said floor.
