Tape applicator

摘要

A tape applicator for use in applying lengths of tape transversely at spaced parallel positions to a continuously moving receptor web. The applicator applies the lengths of tape to the moving web from a polygonal vacuum head which is moved into contact with the web at web speed to transfer the tape to the web. The vacuum applicator is rotatable about an axis and supports the length of tape prior to transfer on a surface disposed transversely to the direction of movement of the web.
