CA 2714336

An apparatus and method for splicing tapes (16,18) dispensed from a tape dispenser. According to one embodiment, a first, running or unwinding roll of tape is provided with a first splicing element (537) secured to its trailing end portion. A second, stationary or standby roll of tape (18) is provided with a second splicing element (538) secured to its leading end portion (64). The second splicing element comprises a body made of a self-supporting material and formed with at least one aperture (540) sized to receive the tape (16) from the first roll. While tape is being dispensed from the first roll, the running tape is inserted into the aperture of the second splicing element. When the first roll of tape becomes depleted, the first splicing element engages the second splicing element, thereby splicing the leading end portion of the second tape roll to the trailing end portion of the first tape roll.

L'invention porte sur un appareil et sur un procédé pour raccorder des bandes (16, 18) distribuées à partir d'un dévidoir de bande. Selon un mode de réalisation, un premier rouleau de bande se défilant ou se déroulant est pourvu dun premier élément de raccordement (537) fixé à sa partie d'extrémité arrière. Un second rouleau de bande stationnaire ou au repos (18) est pourvu dun second élément de raccordement (538) fixé à sa partie d'extrémité avant (64). Le second élément de raccordement comporte un corps fait en un matériau autoportant et avec au moins une ouverture (540) dimensionnée pour recevoir la bande (16) provenant du premier rouleau. Tandis que la bande est distribuée à partir du premier rouleau, la bande se défilant est introduite à l'intérieur de l'ouverture du second élément de raccordement. Lorsque le premier rouleau de bande devient vide, le premier élément de raccordement vient en prise avec le second élément de raccordement, raccordant ainsi la partie d'extrémité avant du second rouleau de bande à la partie d'extrémité arrière du premier rouleau de bande.
