    摘要: A reel assembly includes a plurality of reels coupled to a reel support device. The reels are configured to rotate relative to the reel support device to dispense materials. The reel support device includes a first plate coupled to a second plate with fasteners that are coupled to first holes in the first plate and include a fastening portion received in second holes in the second plate. The fasteners are removably coupled to the second holes, such that an operator can rotate the first plate relative to the second plate by applying a lateral force to the first plate to remove the fastening portion from the second holes. The first plate rotates until the fastening portion is secured in a successive one of the second holes. During normal operation, an elastic element in the fasteners holds the first plate in position until the force is provided by the operator.
