  • Patent number: 6182922
    Abstract: A reassemblable reel which can easily be assembled and has a capacity as well as strength sufficient to contain and protect a great quantity of chips or other electronic components when in use and, after use, can easily be disassembled into compact parts which are easy to transport. The reassemblable reel generally includes two flanges and a reel hub having flexible plates formed therein. Each flexible plate is provided with tooth-shaped protrusions formed on the front and back ends of the flexible plate. The reel is so designed as to be formed by bringing the flanges into contact with both ends of the reel hub and pushing the flanges to engage the flexible plates with the tooth-shaped protrusions in stopper portions formed in the flanges. The tooth-shaped protrusions of each flexible plate can be disengaged by pushing the flexible plate from the outside of either flange in such a direction as to disengage the tooth-shaped protrusions.
