Abstract
An improved web-winding means with a durable thermoplastic polyester resin or polyester resin blend support structure and web capture slot (gate) formed in an interior portion of the support structure. The interior portion is joined to an inner annular surface that has increased lubricity, toughness and creep resistance resulting in decreased debris generation plus increased structural integrity and dimensional stability.
