Abstract
The invention pertains to a reel, which consists of a metal strip with loops, in particular a clip reel for packaging equipment. The reel must have at least three coils with its free end extending into the direction of unwinding. The reel also features a retaining device, which secures a releasable connection between the free end and another metal strip coil or—if available—a spool, thus preventing that the reel unwinds. The invention-based embodiment proposes a shape-mated connection.
