PCT No. PCT/GB82/00011 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 20, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 20, 1982 PCT Filed Jan. 18, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO82/02613 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 5, 1982.A tape splicing mechanism is disclosed which is particularly adapted for splicing leader tape to the magnetic tape of a video cassette. The tape splicing mechanism includes a holder for a reel of adhesive tape which is drawn off and fed past a splice transfer block (13) and a fixed block (8) to a splice transfer pad (11) at the end of an arm (15) on a carriage (16); the two blocks (8,13) and the pad (11) have faces with apertures acting as suction faces which act to hold a length of tape secured by a cutter in position during transfer; the carriage reciprocates parallel to the arm between a retracted position and an application position, at which latter the arm is pressed transverse its length by an applicator actuator (9) to press the length of adhesive tape, held on the pad (11) by the vacuum, against the tape to be spliced. |
