摘要： A reel for holding and dispensing wire that is used for tying reinforcing steel comprises a spool that rotates within a housing. The spool has a cover that covers one side of the housing and the wire that is contained on the spool. The cover is retained in place over the spool by a retaining member, which is positioned over the cover. The retaining member holds the cover in place relative to the spool by other than threaded means, so that the retaining member does not unscrew and separate from the spool or cover during use.
