Strip splicing device
Abstract
Abstract A SEMI-AUTOMATIC DEVICE IN WHICH STRIPS TO BE SPLICED ARE POSITIONED BY HAND AND THE ENDS OF THE STRIPS ARE CUT OFF AND PERFORATED BY A HAND-OPERATED CUTOFF HANDLE IS PROVIDED. RELEASE OF THE CUTOFF HANDLE INTIATES THE AUTOMATIC CYCLIC IN WHICH THE ENDS OF THE STRIPS, ARE BROUGHT INTO ABUTMENT AND A SPLICING TAPE CRIMPED, FED, APPLIED AND CUT TO COMPLETE THE SPLICE. THE SUPPORT TABLES FOR THE STRIPS ARE MOVED BY MEANS OF A MOTOR AD A SLIP-CLUTCH ARRANGEMENT TO POSITION THE FILM ENDS AND INITIATE THE TAPING OPERATION. BY MEANS OF A SLIP CLUTCH THE TABLES ARE HELD IN POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT DURING THE ENTIRE TAPING OPERATION. THIS AVOIDS THE NECESSITY OF TURNING THE MOTOR OFF AND ON AGAIN WITHIN A SECOND OR SO AND PROTECTS THE MOTOR FROM BURNING OUT DURING THE APPLICATION OF THE TAPE. D R A W I N G
