VORRICHTUNG ZUM STUMPFVERBINDEN VON STREIFENMATERIAL

摘要

A web splicing device for forming a continuous web of material from individual shorter strips which includes a rotatable reel-type strip carrier with multiple loading stations for receiving short strips to be spliced. The short strips are mounted or positioned in a flat condition axially along the reel at a loading station and the reel or carrier is then indexed to a second position where the strip is joint spliced for subsequent movement onto a web take-up reel. During movement of the reel the strip is automatically end trimmed on both ends and punched with an index hole. With the use of multiple strip loading stations on the reel, one strip may be spliced while a succeeding strip is being mounted on the film carrier. Once the strip has been cut, punched and joined, it is moved off the reel carrier automatically and the carrier again rotated and indexed for further loading and the succeeding strip is moved into splicing position.
