  • Tape machine support
    Patent number: 4461429
    Abstract: An improved tape applying device (12) is provided. A number of tape roll support spindles (34) are pivotally mounted to a wrapping sprocket (14) which rotates about an axis (18). The spindles (34) support tape rolls (22). As the wrapping sprocket (14) rotates, the tape from these tape rolls are wrapped about a pipe (26). A rigid ring (66) is supported on a number of struts (50) spaced from and coaxial with the wrapping sprocket (14). A brace arm assembly (69) is secured between the ring (66) and selected spindles (34) to oppose centrifugal forces generated when the annular member rotates to apply the tape to the pipe.
