Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for the production of tape rolls of narrow tape strips cut from a wide tape, in particular narrow film strips. It also relates to the tape rolls produced by this method or device.
  • Tape material is often coated or otherwise treated in widths of up to one and a half meters and then cut into narrow tape strips, which in the case of narrow film strips are often not allowed to be wider than 16 mm. These strips of tape are then usually wound onto a roll core to make them easier to transport.
  • the holes can either be circular or elliptical, or they can be elongated into slots. Now such a hole does not necessarily have to lie in the middle of the narrow strip of tape, but elongated slots can also be cut lengthways in the middle when the wide tape is cut open, so that slot halves are present as notches on the strip end concerned, which are covered by the adhesive tape. When pressed for the purpose of sticking, the glue points are then on both sides of the tape strip instead of in the middle.
  • each punch hole preferably has the shape of a slot elongated in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the tape strip, the slot length preferably corresponding to the width of the tape strip, while the diameter of the punch hole transverse to the tape strip longitudinal axis preferably 1/4 is up to 3/4 of the strip width.
  • the pressing means used can be those which can press on both the leading end of the strip on the roll core and the trailing end of the strip on the outer winding of the roll underneath. If two rows of holes are to be punched across the tape, this can be done in succession with a single rod, but it is preferred to use two punches at the same time in order to ensure a precise distance between the two rows of holes.
  • the adhesive tape used here is preferably sufficiently wide to cover both rows of holes in the double row at the same time. If the tape obtained in this way is cut across the band width between the two rows of holes, the holes of one row are at the trailing end and those of the other row are at the leading end of the tape strips obtained during longitudinal cutting.
  • the metal foil can also serve to activate the cutting device.
  • the tapes of the wide tape may be serrated, wrinkled, or damaged in some other way before or during processing.
  • the wide strip is cut into strips, the two outer strips on the right and left edges of the wide strip are treated as rejects delt. No holes need to be punched out in the area of these two strip strips.
  • the method and apparatus according to the invention are particularly advantageous for the production of roll film material, e.g. used especially by narrow film rolls.
  • Some photographic film material must additionally have a perforation along one edge or along both edges, which must be applied after the wide strip has been cut into the individual strip strips, but before being rolled up.
  • a perforator of conventional design can be interposed between the cutting device and the winding device of the device according to the invention.
  • the holes created in this perforation are too small to allow the leading end of the tape strip to be glued to the core of the reel or the trailing end to the winding underneath it, if they are covered with adhesive strips.
  • this hole can also be punched out as a correspondingly large notch on the right and / or left edge of the strip instead of in the middle of the strip.
  • the photographic film material coated with a light-sensitive gelatin emulsion layer in the form of a tape 1 is moved through the device by contact with the rotating drive rollers 2 and 3.
  • the belt 1 driven in this way passes under the punches 4a and 4b, two rows 5a and 5b being formed from punched holes in the belt 1.
  • the tape 1 then passes through an adhesive tape application device 6, in which pressure-sensitive adhesive material is pulled off an adhesive tape roll 7 and across the tape 1, covering the rows of holes 5a and 5b, glued facing the adhesive side of the tape surface and cut off by means of a knife 8, so that on the Film covering the holes of both rows of holes 5a and 5b an adhesive strip 9 remains.
  • this Tape 1 carrying adhesive strips 9 is then fed to a slicing device 10, which cuts the tape 1 into strips 11, each of which has two holes covered by a short piece 12 of adhesive material.
  • Each of the strips 11 is fed to a roll core 13 and is immediately cut between the holes in the adjacent rows 5a and 5b by means of the cutter 14.
  • a pressure roller 15 presses against this trailing end and thereby causes this end to stick to the roll.
  • the leading ends, containing the holes in the row 5b, of the next strips 11 are now fed to new roll cores 13.
  • the roller 15 immediately presses against the leading ends of the tape strips and sticks them to the roller cores 13.
  • the tape strip is then wound up until the roll on the core 13 has reached a desired size, whereupon the cutter 14 repeats the process described above and the roller 15 then glues the trailing end of each tape strip 11 onto the roll winding underneath.
  • each of the strips of a strip often has a bevel, it is preferred that each strip is wound on its associated roll core 13 at a different level from the adjacent strips.
  • FIG. 3 shows the leading end of a film strip 11 which has a punched hole 5b, which is covered by a short piece of adhesive tape 12. The middle area of this adhesive strip 12 is pushed into the hole 5b and glued to the roll core.
  • the pressure roller 15 preferably has a foam rubber coating in order to achieve close contact between the pressure-sensitive inside of the piece of adhesive tape 12 and the surface of the core 13.
  • a 1.45 m wide band of film material is cut into 89 usable narrow film strips, which are each individually wound onto driven roll cores 13.
  • the distance between the punch 4a and the driven roll cores 13 is preferably one meter in this device. In doing so, film material strips with a length of 30 m are to be wound onto each roll core.
  • the belt 1 When starting up, the belt 1 is guided through the device with the aid of drive rollers 2 and 3, and the individual narrow film strips 11 produced therein are then automatically guided onto the driven roller cores 13 and their leading ends pressed onto the cores.
  • the punch 4a is started, since at the start of operation only one hole per film strip is required.
  • the tape 1 runs through the device, the number of revolutions of each roll core being recorded and, as soon as this number of revolutions corresponds to a length of 29 m of film material wound on the core 13, the punches 4a and 4b are activated in order to punch the rows of holes 5a and 5b to generate at the same time.
  • Each core 13 carrying a finished roll is then removed from the device and fresh roll cores 13 inserted into the device.
