  • Patent number: 4311544
    Abstract: An apparatus tapes components having two generally aligned connection wires between two pair of continuous adhesive strips to produce a continuous band of longitudinally-spaced components. Four rolls of adhesive tape are supported upon the apparatus. Tape from two of the rolls is passed between two parallel rows of teeth on two motorized toothed wheels with the adhesive side exposed. The two connection wires from each component are placed between the teeth on the toothed wheels and upon the exposed adhesive. Tape from the other two adhesive rolls passes over a pair of pressure rollers resiliently biased against the toothed wheels. As the toothed wheels rotate toward the pressure rollers, the pressure rollers press the tape from the second pair of tape rolls against the tape from the first pair of tape rolls, thereby pair-wise bonding the four strips of adhesive together on opposite sides of the connection wires to form a continuous band of the components.
