METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SEPARATING STRIP COIL FROM SPIRAL STRUCTURE

摘要

Apparatus and method are described which are effective for detaching a coiled strip from a wound construct containing a plurality of coiled strips interconnected by intermittently spaced tabs that bridge the parting lines between adjacent strips. The apparatus is adapted to conveniently fracture the tabs in a manner which prevents distortion or marring of the adjacent strip material. The separated strip is caused to be wound into a tighter coil to facilitate subsequent handling thereof.
