Abstract: A spool for a reversible-type correction tape assembly, in which an improved fastening means is provided between the cap and the spool shaft. The spool shaft is designed to hold a ribbon-winding core so that the winding core is slideable in an axial direction of the spool shaft but is not rotatable relative to the shaft. The cap is detachably mounted on the top portion of the spool shaft so that the winding core does not slip off of the spool shaft. The spool shaft is provided with a male thread on a peripheral portion which is an extension above the winding core when the latter is engaged on the spool shaft.
