Abstract: The invention relates to an industrial adhesive tape. The tape includes a tape-shaped textile dyed backing and an adhesive coating, in particular a pressure sensitive adhesive coating applied to at least one side of the textile dyed backing. To achieve significantly reduced inherent discoloration or decolorization and also reduced discoloration of the wrapped materials, and hence improved compatibility of the adhesive tape with the materials to be adhered together, such as cablesets, the textile backing is fabricated from spun-dyed threads or fibers.

Abstract: An adhesive tape having a tape-like textile support and an adhesive coating applied to the support, wherein the tape can be unwound easily ready for use without special covering or treatment of the adhesive coating. A tape-like support comprises at least partially a needle punched nonwoven from at least partially thermoplastic fibers, in which the thermoplastic fibers are bonded to each other at least partially by melting on the side opposite the adhesive coating. Melting of the fibers preferably occurs by one-sided heat calendering of the support material. The surface produced by treatment of the fiber material prevents unduly strong adhesion with the following layer during winding of the tape and tearing out of the fibers from their bond during unwinding of the tape. A cost-effective textile adhesive tape from needle punched nonwoven is therefore created without additional interliner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tool for sheathing a bundle of elongate elements by wrapping said bundle in a flexible adhesive tape which is wrapped transversely to its long direction about the bundle and which has longitudinal margins that are united by adhesive, the tool comprising a shaping member for shaping the tape, which member comprises a sleeve of substantially circular cross-section that possesses a sloping end portion forming a deflector edge, and remote from the point where the tape reaches it, a longitudinal slot through which the longitudinal margins of the tape pass, the sleeve having at least one longitudinal hinge to enable it to be opened and to enable the tape to be put into place therein.

Abstract: The invention concerns a tool for sheathing a bundle (1) of wires (2) by enveloping this bundle in a flexible adhesive ribbon (3) which is transversely wound about itself around the bundle (1) and whose longitudinal edges (5) are joined by gluing. It comprises a frame (60) equipped with an enveloping head (65) comprising a shaping device (68) for the ribbon (3) which is mounted in a fixed manner on the frame (60) and which possess a return edge (70) in the shape of a V arranged so as to start a longitudinal folding of the ribbon (3), and at least one first pair of clamping jaws (72) mounted on the frame (60) which are movable between an open position and a closed position in which they are applied against each other by means of return means to ensure the gluing of the longitudinal edges (5) of the ribbon (3) against each other and they define between themselves a passage orifice (79) for the sheathed bundle (1).
