ABSTRACT:
A tape reel comprising identical first and second one-piece members which are snap-fitted together to form the reel. Each of the members includes a circular flange and a semicircular hub section having inner and outer walls and an intervening web wall. A pair of elongated latching slots is formed in each of the web walls. A pair of upstanding latching projections are formed on each of the members and are located diametrically opposite of a respective latching slot. A pair of latching catches are formed on opposite inner and outer sides of each of the latching projections. When the inner catches are engaged in the latching slots of the opposite member, the members are joined whereby the flanges have a first spacing therebetween, and when the outer catches are engaged in the latching slots, the members are joined whereby the flanges have a second spacing therebetween smaller than the first spacing.
