Abstract

A flangeless-type reel holder for a device manufacturing reels of video film including a ring-type leaf spring fitted around the reel holder. The reel holder is fitted around a sleeve mounted on a drive shaft of the device, by means of a bearing interposed therebetween. The reel holder is directly coupled to the outer rim of the bearing. The outer diameter of the leaf spring fitted around the reel holder is larger than that of an annular rim of the reel holder so that the inner peripheral surface of a reel hub to be fitted around the reel holder can closely contact with the outer surface of the leaf spring.
