Patent number: 7681829Abstract: A non-twist tape transfer system for interconnecting the trailing edge of tape from a first roll of tape to the leading edge of tape from a second roll of tape includes a first element which is attachable to the trailing edge of the tape on the first roll and a second element which is attachable to the leading edge of the tape on the second roll. A spindle which is attached to the holder the first roll is mounted on rotates with the roll and has a slot which releasably receives the first element in a manner such that the first element rotates with it. The second element attachable to the first element in a manner such that it does not rotate with the first element. When the tape starts to feed from the second roll the first element pulls out of the slot and proceeds with the tape.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2005Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Inventors: Gilles Cyr, Elvin Dalebout

Patent number: 6981537Abstract: A tape splicing mechanism joins the tail of one tape to the leading edge of another tape. A frame defines a passageway along which the tape passes. A pair of arms rotatably attached to the frame have projecting posts and rotate between a first position where the posts are closer to the pathway and a second position where they are further from the pathway. The arms are urged toward the first position and a catch mechanism holds them in the second position until released by a release mechanism when a release indicia in the first tape passes. The leading edge of the second tape is looped around the first tape to form a loose knot and is tied to the post on each side of the first tape. When the arms are released they move to the second position and tighten the knot.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2003Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Assignee: Industrial Adhesives, Inc.Inventors: Gilles Cyr, Elvin Dalebout, Ronald L.

Patent number: 6737138Abstract: A tail for adhering the tailing edge of a first roll of tape that is being fed to an application device to the leading edge of a second roll of tape without stopping the tapes includes a bulge which is located in the tail and has an adhesive coating on each side. A first protective element located on the tail releasably covers the adhesive coating on one side of the bulge and a second protective element located on the other side of the bulge releasably covers the adhesive coating on the other side of the bulge when the tail is wrapped onto a roll base. The leading edge of the second roll of tape is wrapped around the tape from the first roll to form a loose knot and then is threaded through a pair of pincher rollers through which the first roll of tape is fed. Thus, when the bulge passes through the pincher rollers it becomes adhesively attached to the leading edge of the second roll and the knot is tightened around the second roll and a mechanical joint is formed between the tapes.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2003Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Industrial Adhesives, Inc.Inventors: Gilles Cyr, John Getz, Mike Liles, Elvin Dalebout

Publication number: 20030056894Abstract: An applicator of heat-reactive adhesive-impregnated tape has a pair of side-by-side, spaced-apart wheels which carry an endless belt. A support mechanism holds the belt against a moving sheet of material that the tape is being applied to. A tape dispenser heats the tape to melt its adhesive and feeds the heated tape onto the sheet of material. The tape travels with the sheet of material under the belt and the belt presses the tape into contact with the sheet of material. The distance between the wheels is such that the belt is in contact with the tape until the adhesive is completely cured.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2001Publication date: March 27, 2003Inventors: John Getz, Gilles Cyr
