TAPE WINDING MEANS

摘要

Tape guide means receive longitudinally moving tape in a horizontal position and impart a twist thereto for delivering it edgewise to a rotary tray driven at a speed faster than the tape. The tray bottom has angled ridges which frictionally engage the delivered tape and impel it adaxially to cause the tape to coil and form into a roll. The ridges also jostle the roll during formation for tightening the coiled tape into a compact roll.
