Tape dispenser for film splicer - has two reels in cassette to feed each side of film

摘要

A tape dispenser for a film splicer has a two part cassette holding two reels of transparent splicing tape on backing paper. The two tapes feed at converging angles to the top and bottom of the film with the backing paper stripped off by bending it around acute angles and pulling the backing out of the rear of the cassette. The stripped tape is offered to the top and bottom of the film at the correct angle and an automatic cutter trims off the required length. The cassette locates in the splicer and requires no manual dexterity to apply to the film.
