Abstract
Abstract A traversed package is formed from a tape which is slit from a laminate composed of a metallic foil layer and a dielectric insulating layer of plastic film, with a longitudinal edge or edges thereof folded back against the surface of the tape. The packaged tape can be applied to twisting conductors in a cabling process either helically or longitudinally with the folded edge or edges preventing the foil layer from electrical contact with adjacent conductors or shields.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A package of tape characterized in that the tape is slit from a laminate solely consisting of a metallic foil layer and an insulating dielectric plastics layer such that the tape comprises solely said foil layer and said dielectric layer with longitudinal edges thereof which are directly overlying, said tape being folded such that one edge along the length thereof lies flat back against a surface of the tape to form at said edge a portion of tape which is at least double the thickness of the laminate, the package being formed from a plurality of wraps of said tape arranged such that the tape repeatedly traverses along the length of the package.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A package of tape characterized in that the tape is slit from a laminate solely consisting of a metallic foil layer and an insulating dielectric plastics layer such that the tape comprises solely said foil layer and said dielectric layer with longitudinal edges thereof which are directly overlying, said tape being folded such that one edge along the length thereof lies flat back against a surface of the tape to form at said edge a portion of tape which is at least double the thickness of the laminate, the package being formed from a plurality of wraps of said tape arranged such that the tape repeatedly traverses along the length of the package.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A package according to claim 1 wherein the tape is folded such that the other edge along the length thereof lies flat back against the other surface of the tape.
