  • Patent number: 5057347
    Abstract: A combined splicing tape and peg board for connecting ends of continuous feed computer paper to facilitate changing between different paper products or to add leaders so that the first serial numbered check or invoice is not lost to the feed process. The apparatus enables non-continuous feed paper products, such as envelopes or checks, to be integrated into a continuous feed paper flow. Continuous feed paper products are abutted at their ends on the adhesive side of a previously mounted tape. Non-continuous feed products are mounted on the tape and then onto the front side of the continuous feed paper in the printer. Spaced holes in the computer paper are freely received by rigid pegs positioned and sized for proper alignment of the edges of the paper. The tape has spaced holes for proper alignment over the edges of the paper. In one embodiment the tape holes are slightly smaller than the pegs to retain the tape on the board.
