Device (1) and method for connecting two ends of foil (304,309) by means of adhesive tape (250, 270). A continuous foil (106, 308) is obtained by connecting the end (304) of already supplied foil (106) to a new beginning (309) of a further foil (308) at a second position. The end of the old foil (304) is formed at a first position. The device (1) comprises foil supplies (2-6) supplying foil (8-12, 106, 304). A carriage sub frame (101) is mounted movably on a frame between at least the first position and can be guided towards the second position. The carriage sub frame (101) supports at least a foil end holding unit arranged for holding an end of the foil (304, 308) supplied from the foil supply (2-6). The device (1) further comprises a connection unit for connecting the ends of foil (304, 308), and a tape dispenser (120) for dispensing tape (250) to connect the foil ends. The tape dispenser (120) is mounted on the carriage sub frame (101). |
