I can only remember using these things for ex-juke-box 45's. The standard 45 you purchased in the UK didn't require one, it already had a smaller hole. Great Streogram Gary.

Yes, it appeared a better idea. If the 45 required the larger hole for a juke-box you could snap the middle bit out.
Alternatively you could buy a gizmo thar fitted over the centre spindle to fit the larger hole. But in the main all 45's in the UK were like the attached image so the gizmo wasn't required.

yes that's right, we used to call them, and our music shop sold them as, '45 adaptors' - only needed to buy them for the ex-duke box 45's, that were sold off cheap [and if we were lucky as kids given away]

Nothing lasts forever...
And when one or more of the thin connectors broke off when trying to lift them up our stacked/multi-record player's long spindle, which happened in my case too often.
The regular (solid) adaptor couldn't be used, so we had to use the spider-type adaptors, but often they came off as well. We had mostly access to rather flimsy ones, such as the one shown in the picture. Or forget using the stacked-record option and play one record at a time using the small spindle and having to get up each time to change records. Life of a teenager was hard back then....
oh so hard...
would you believe our stacker never worked properly, it ended up scratching the 45's even more, bering in mind they were used in the first place, usually well used: snap crackle and pop...
would our parent's buy us a new dansette.. no they would not.. and kids had no real mony in those days and... [herself says I should stop here before I go the full monty... python that is ]

I remember putting thin felt stickers on them so they would scratch or slip.
I remember those adapters. I had a solid plastic one that you could fix on the turntable.
Cardboard box?
Aye.
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank.
