<p>Apparatus is provided for joining strip material, such as. magnetic recording tape, comprising two pivotally mounted cutting plates (13, 14) carried by a support (31), having cooperating cutting edges, said plates having aligned grooves formed at 45° to the cutting edges for reception of the strip material to be joined. In use the strip to be cut is placed in the groove of one plate, relative movement is effected between the two plates to cut the strip at a first position to produce two cut ends, a first cut end is retained in the groove of said one plate and moved relative to the other plate, the second cut end is placed in the groove of the other plate, relative movement between the two plates is again effected to cut the strip material at a second position and to bring the ends of the strip material remaining in the grooves into abutting disposition for application of an adhesive joining strip (T). Preferably the apparatus includes means for storing (35) and dispensing (32) said strips, whereby each strip of adhesive tape is automatically brought into alignment with each successive two ends of said strip material to be joined.</p> |
