<p>A leader block assembly (30, 50) and related method for assembling the same are provided. The assembly (30, 50) comprises a staking rod (30) including an elongated member (31) having two opposing, substantially flat sides (36, 38), two opposing, substantially curved sides (32, 34), a first end (42) and a second end (44), and a polygonal-shaped opening (40) formed through the elongated member (31) as well as a leader block (50) having a substantially cylindrically-shaped opening (52) formed therein. The method uses a tool (60) having a correspondingly-shaped tip for engaging and transporting the staking rod (30) to the vicinity of the leader block (50) which receives the leader tape (54) in a substantially cylindrical opening (52). The staking rod (30) is then inserted into the opening (52) in a direction (A) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the opening (52) with its two opposing, substantially flat sides (36, 38) adjacent the mouth (64) of the opening (52). The staking rod (30) is then rotated by the tool (60) to a point where its two opposing, substantially curved sides (32, 34) create an interference fit with the walls (66, 68) of the opening (52), permanently trapping the leader tape (54) in position. The tool (60) is then withdrawn.</p> |
