Method of splicing a strip material and method of forming a package of said strip material

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of splicing a strip material comprising: providing two strip portions (80,81) of fibrous non-woven material; the strip portions containing a proportion of thermally bondable material; and connecting an end of one strip portion (80) to an end of the other strip portion (81) to form a continuous length of the strip material; the strip portions being connected by ultrasonically heating the strip portions (80,81) while in contact to effect a heat seal between the portions formed by the thermally bondable material.
