A belt driven reel stand apparatus comprises a stand 20 for holding a reel of material 16 with a layer of adhesive 30 extending across its outer surface, the adhesive 30 being adhesive at least with respect to material forming the reel of material 16 and a driveable belt 26 for driving rotation of the reel 16, a surface of the belt 26 which, in use, contacts the reel of material 16 is substantially inadhesive with respect to the adhesive 30 that extends across the outer surface of the reel 16. The surface of the belt 26 may be textured, profiled, dimpled or pimpled (40 fig. 5) or may be provided with a coating (44 fig. 6) of silicone, stearate or fatty acids or polytetrafluoroethylene. The apparatus may be used to splice the leading end 22 of the reel of material 16 to the material of a first reel of material 4 with a flying splice to allow it to be fed to a downstream apparatus such as a printing press 14. |
