  • Patent number: 12378091
    Abstract: An application apparatus that includes: a base unit comprising a first end, a second end, and a connection device that extends along a base unit axis from the first end to the second end; an application unit securely coupled to the second end, wherein the application unit is configured to apply a strip to a workpiece; and a redirection unit pivotably coupled to the base unit. The application unit comprises a first input guiding element configured to supply the strip to the application unit. The redirection unit is configured such that the strip can wrap around the redirection unit and be guided from an axial receiving position to an axial discharge position, wherein the axial receiving position is spaced apart from the axial discharge position in an axial direction of the axis. The first input guiding element of the application unit is spaced apart from the axial receiving position.

  • Patent number: 12347586
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for jacketing strandlike elements (10), comprising the method steps of: a) producing or providing a strandlike element (10), b) wrapping the strandlike element (10) with an adhesive tape (12) to give a wrapped strand (14), the adhesive tape (12) comprising as curable adhesive a radiation-curing and/or thermally curing adhesive, c) arranging the wrapped strand (14) in one or more holding elements (16) of a holding arrangement (18) to establish a predetermined shape and to give a shaped strand (20), and d) curing the curable adhesive in the shaped strand (20) by irradiating the adhesive tape (12) with electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength ?, to give a jacketed strand (22), wherein the one or the two or more holding elements (16) at least in sections are at least partly transmissive for electromagnetic radiation of wavelength ?, wherein the irradiation of the adhesive tape (12) with the electromagnetic radiation of wavelength ? takes place at least partly through the one or

  • Patent number: 11667490
    Abstract: An adhesive tape dispenser having a holder for an adhesive tape roll (2) and a guide system for an adhesive tape (3) pulled off from the adhesive tape roll (2) and a deflecting edge (10) for the pulled-off adhesive tape (3). Deflecting edge is arranged at the end of the guide system in the pull-off direction (A) and deflects the pulled-off adhesive tape (3) from the pull-off direction (A). The deflecting edge (10) has a deflection axis, which has a component directed in the pull-off direction (A), and an affixing direction (B) is arranged transversely to the pull-off direction (A).
