<p>An improved tape laying machine for depositing and compacting composite plastic tape (23) onto a work surface, for producing a plastic article, has a presser shoe member (73) for applying and compacting a strip of composite plastic tape onto a work surface (78), and a tail compaction member (90) for compacting the tail of the strip of composite plastic tape that are independently actuated, coordinately movable and linked to each other. The tail compaction member has a roller that engages the strip of tape substantially rearward of the point where the centerline of the presser shoe member intersects the compacted tape applied to the work surface as the presser shoe member is in compaction engagement with the tape. The tail compaction member roller then moves along a straight line path on the tape as the presser shoe member progressively retracts from compaction engagement with the composite plastic tape.</p> |
