Abstract: This invention relates to dispensers comprising one or various interconnected holders, the or each holder being formed by two box-shaped components with an outlet opening in which a rotary drum is housed. A flexible strip or elements of any suitable nature is wound around the drum, to be used together with elements of other strips for marking of wires, cables, electrical equipment and systems. These strips of elements protrude from the hole in each holder and can be cut to any length and removed progressively by turning the drum. A multiple holder dispenser provides for tidy and methodical arrangement of the marking elements and for easy and safe utilization.

Abstract: The invention provides an identification device in the form of a holder for symbol elements. The holder has a body and a channel portion, the body and channel portion being integral to define a one piece unit, but the body being of a relatively hard plastic and the channel portion being of a relatively soft plastic. The body portion is adapted to be springingly engaged with the object to which the holder is to be connected, while the channel portion is transparent so that the symbol elements can be seen therethrough. The holder is manufactured from a drawn composite plastic body, the body being drawn in a process similar to wire drawing.
