The invention relates to an end cap for a ceramic spool as well as to a method of and device for mounting it on the end of such a spool. The quill portion (5) of an end cap is divided by means of slits (9) into strips (10), the first ends of which are rigidly connected to a ring (12) formed by the open quill end and the other ends are rigidly connected to a flange (13) closing the other quill end, with a stub axle (6) projecting from said flange. Provided in the middle of strips (10) are threaded holes (11). The annular jacket (7) of said auxiliary device (3) can be fitted around said end cap quill (5) with a small annular clearance remaining therebetween. The annular jacket (7) is circumferentially provided with holes (17) with screws (18) extending therethrough and engageable in threaded holes (11). By turning screws (18), said strips (10) can be bent outwards so as to fit the spool end (4) inside quill (5). When screws (18) are unscrewed, strips (10) return elastically inwards and squeeze around the spool end (4).

An end cap for a ceramic spool, comprising a cylindrical metal tubular quill which defines a space open at one end and generally closed at the other end thereof, the spool end being insertable and resiliently fastenable into said space, the wall of said tubular quill is divided by means of spaced slits into strips extending along a portion of the length of said tubular quill, said open end of said tubular quill comprises a continuous cylindrical ring portion to which first ends of said strips are rigidly connected, and said closed end of said tubular quill is rigidly connected to the other ends of said strips, and each of said strips is provided with gripping means for external engagement to radially expand said quill to either assemble said cap with or remove said cap from said spool.
