TURN-UP TAPE DELIVERY ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A DUAL CHANNEL TRACK FOR PAPER WEB TURN-UP SYSTEMS

摘要

An improved tape delivery assembly (10) for delivering a turn-up tape across a moving web of paper being wound onto a spool, the assembly (10) being part of a paper web turn-up system, the tape being used to sever and transfer the leading edge of the cut paper web onto an empty spool. The track body (13) of the tape delivery assembly (10) extending across the paper web comprises a dual internal pathway, having a primary longitudinal channel (12) and a secondary longitudinal channel (15) through which a primary (21) or secondary tape (22) is passed, respectively. A primary tape dispenser assembly (14) delivers the primary tape (21) into the primary channel (12) and a secondary tape dispenser assembly (14) delivers the secondary tape (22) into the secondary channel (15). A braking mechanism (30) is provided to retard travel of the primary (21) and secondary tapes (22) for removal from the track body (13).
