Apparatus and method for separating spliced strips of photographic film

摘要

The splice adhesive is heated until it softens, preferably with a hot shoe applied against the splice under pressure. A space is left between the ends of the film strips when they are spliced together, and the splice is engaged from both sides while the film strips are pulled apart. More specifically, a carrier or splice pick-up web is provided for removing the splices from the area and for holding the removed splices in a manner particularly convenient for disposal.
