Abstract: A system for holding a spiral coil binding assembly formed from a coiled filament and having a plurality of coils with a predetermined pitch. The system comprises a carrier sheet, a plurality of rows of cut-outs on the carrier sheet. The cut-outs in the carrier sheet, or at least some of them, are holding openings which will receive the filament of a spiral coil binding assembly in order to hold the spiral coil binding assembly in place on the carrier sheet. The system also includes mechanism for removing each of the spiral coil binding assemblies from the carrier sheet and directing them to a binding machine.

Abstract: A tool capable of removing the back of a watch from a watch case in which the watch back is of the type having an edge projection on its periphery. The watch back is received in a cylindrical cavity of the tool which has an internal inclined camming surface for contact with the edge projection on the watch back. Rotating the tool with the edge projection engaged by the inclined camming surface lifts the watch back away from the watch case.
