Abstract: A fastener cap includes a body having a top edge, a bottom edge, and side edges. The body has a thickness between 0.01 inches and 0.05 inches and protrusions extending from the body. Webs extend from the protrusions with each web extending from a corresponding one of the plurality of protrusions by a distance between 0.003 and 0.009 inches and each of the webs having a width between 0.008 and 0.014 inches. The fastener caps are coupled together by the webs in a continuous strip or roll. A roll of fastener caps includes a core-less design with a central opening bounded by three of the fastener caps in the roll. The reduced thickness of each cap and the core-less design increase the number of caps per roll. A method of manufacturing the caps allows for continuous production of a single and integral strip of interconnected caps.

Abstract: A reel assembly includes a plurality of reels coupled to a reel support device. The reels are configured to rotate relative to the reel support device to dispense materials. The reel support device includes a first plate coupled to a second plate with fasteners that are coupled to first holes in the first plate and include a fastening portion received in second holes in the second plate. The fasteners are removably coupled to the second holes, such that an operator can rotate the first plate relative to the second plate by applying a lateral force to the first plate to remove the fastening portion from the second holes. The first plate rotates until the fastening portion is secured in a successive one of the second holes. During normal operation, an elastic element in the fasteners holds the first plate in position until the force is provided by the operator.
