Abstract
An assembly of tag pins is provided with a removable cap over the heads of the pins, thereby preventing any entwinement between heads which may arise when a plurality of assemblies have been packed. The cap is formed of a soft and thin synthetic resin, in one case integral with an assembly of tag pins, and has a cross-section ' ' shape defining a space receiving heads of the assembly of tag pins and having an opening at one side thereof. A connection between the cap and the assembly of tag pins is formed at only two positions, that is, respective top portions of longitudinal outermost heads of the assembly, thus the cap can be easily removed because it has sufficiently flexibility to be deformed and can be easily widened by the fingers of a user. Alternatively, the cap is independently formed from the assembly of tag pins, and a connection between the cap and the assembly is formed during the capping of the assembly, or the cap may have no connection with the assembly of tag pins, in which case the cap can be easily removed by simply sliding it longitudinally or laterally along the assembly of tag pins. In this case the cap has a cross-section or longitudinal section ' ' shape fully opened at transversal or longitudinal sides thereof, respectively, and also includes inner flanges extended inwardly from respective lower ends of both side walls thereof, the flange acting to support the cap on heads of the assembly.
