ABSTRACT:
The invention is for an improvement in a payout tube for container-packaged coiled wire in which the tube in use is in the container which has in a wall thereof a hole comprising a circular main aperture and a pair of notches projecting from such aperture. The tube is secured to the container by passing an end of the tube through such aperture, and radial projecting tabs on the tube at that end through such notches, so as to locate such end and tabs on the wall's outside while radially projecting lugs on the tube remain on the tube's inside, and by then angularly turning the tube to insert sections of such wall bordering such hole between such tabs and such lugs. The improvement constitutes providing on the tube a pair of movable fingers and associated resilient hinges by which those fingers are hingedly coupled to the rest of the tube. At the end of the tube's angular turning described above, such fingers lodge in the notches so as, by engaging with the side walls of the notches, to stop the tube from subsequent turning which might lead to detachment of the tube and container. One or more of such fingers and resilient hinges are disclosed as having various other uses.
