VERFAHREN UND EINRICHTUNG ZUR HERSTELLUNG EINES ZWISCHENTRÄGERBANDES DURCH VERSCHWEISSEN MIT ANSCHLIESSENDER WÄRMEBEHANDLUNG

摘要

The invention relates to a method and device for producing endless strips from plastic films for an intermediate supporting strip in an electrographic printer or copier by welding the ends of a plastic film (10). The ends of the plastic film (10) are placed one atop the other on the faces thereof. The plastic film (10) is held under pressure in the vicinity of the film ends, and the plastic film (10) is heated by radiation to the temperature required for welding the ends. A recrystallization step, optionally carried out by supplying energy, ensues after welding.
