Abstract
Abstract A flared-in central opening portion of an otherwise flat, plastic, flange element is disposed between and in overlapping relationship with edge portions of cylindrically wound plastic tape, whereafter, the overlapping portions of the tape and flange element are fused to unify them. The wound tape may have a thus associated flange element at either or both ends thereof.
