  • Reel for tape-like material, especially magnetic tape
    Patent number: 4560114
    Abstract: A reel for material of tape-like configuration, especially magnetic tape, comprises two side flanges which are rigidly connected together to form a flange unit, and a hub firmly clamped between said side flanges. Advantageously, an essentially continuous gap is provided between the flange unit and the hub to accommodate any radial deformation of the winding surface. The novel reel is particularly suitable for computer and video tapes which exert considerable compression on the hub when they are wound.
