7'' plastic inner adapter name

[filtersweeper]

Is there an actual name for those plastic things we pop in the center of a 7"?

This may be in the wrong place but I ddidn't know where else to put it.

Thanks

If it's the three-pronged design it's often called a "Spider". If it's a round hub like the one you get when you buy a Technics SL1200 turntable it's often called a "45rpm adapter". There may be other names for them too.

in reggae lingo the aluminum ones (technics standard or dome shaped) are called "pucks"

........at least in my parts of Germany

In the UK we call them centres or 45 adaptors

I got corrected by a couple guys that said only the kind that you squeeze the edges to pop into the disc are called spiders because of the legs. The aluminum versions - both the press-ins and the weave-ins like a Webcor that warp the 45 into which you are sliding it are called `plates'. And - in the case of the Pfanstiehl aluminum style with the indentations around the edges - the wrapper says the same thing `45 RPM Centering Plates'.
