4 Claims. 7 Drawing Figures AUTOMATIC ADHESIVE TAPE FEEDING DEVICE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in an automatic adhesive tape feeding device for a photographic film connecting machine for bringing the tail end of one film into alignment with the lead end of another prior to or after development,
In connection with automatic photographic film con necting machines of this type it has been desired to provide a device to feed a film connecting adhesive tape efficiently and straightly to a desired position. that is. the position at which the film ends are aligned and abutted.
To solve this problem. various methods and devices have been proposed and some of them have actually been reduced to practice but they are generally unsatisfactory and further improvements are strongly needed in the field.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive tape feeding device for a photo graphic film splicing apparatus for feeding the splicing tape smoothly and straightly to a position where the tail end of one film and the tip of another are aligned and connected.
Another object ofthe present invention is to provide an adhesive tape feeding device for a photographic long film splicing apparatus characterized in the provision of an adhesive tape feeding means having. in combination. a first rotatable roller capable of being rotated or stopped relative to the movement of a film to be connected and a draw-out roller resiliently contacting the first roller and provided. on its circumferential surface facing the adhesive side ofthe tape. with a plurality of saw-teeth made of an adhesion-resistant material such as TEFLON thereby preventing the tape from sticking.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive tape feeding device fora photographic film splicing device characterized by a pair of feed rolls of which one roll has a conical-convex circumferential surface and the other roll has a conical-concave circumferential surface lined with a non-adhesive material such as TEFLON thereby providing means for feeding the tape to a film connecting position efficiently and horizontally without the tape adhering to either of the rolls and without the tip of the tape hanging down.

FIG. 2 is a front view ofthe draw-out roll of the adhesive tape feeding device of the apparatus shown in FIG. I;
FIG. 3 is a front view ofthe pair of adhesive tape feed rolls of the apparatus shown in FIG. I.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the film connecting portion of the device shown in FIG. 1:
FIG. 5 is a front view of the film connecting portion shown in FIG. 4:
FIG. 6 is a front view showing a completed connection or splice of two films; and
FIG. 7 is a side view of the splice shown in FIG. 6.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to FIGS. 1. 2. and 3. one embodiment of the film splicing apparatus of the present invention. generally designated C. is shown as including a film guide rail 1 along which a first film A procedes a second film B (not shown). a tape suppressor 4 with a cutter 5. an adhesive tape roll 14 wound with an adhesive tape 7 and rotatably mounted on shaft 20. a roll 8 rotatably mounted on a shaft 21. an adhesive tape draw-out roll I3 mounted on an arm II pivotally supported by a shaft I0 and an adhesive tape feed rolls [7 and I9 rotatably mounted on shafts 25 and 26. all of the shafts being supported by the machine frame 9.
With such an arrangement. the adhesive tape 7 which has been transferred to and passed around the roll 8 is sandwiched between the circumferential surface 8' of the guide roll 8 and the draw-out roll 13 with the adhesive side of the tape facing the latter. The roll 8 is capable of being rotated or stopped relative to the movement of the film on the guide rail I. The guide rail l. with the exception of the film connecting portion thereof. is of a trough-like configuration with banks on both sides and extends in a direction perpendicular to the adhesive tape feeding direction. The draw-out roll 13 is rotationally supported between forked end portions 11' and II" of an arm I] mounted on one end of the shaft 10 running through the machine frame 9. The tape 7 passes from the draw-out roll l3 into the clearance between the feed rolls I7 and I9 and is then trans' ferred to a position on guide I where films A and B are connected. Thus. when the tip of the adhesive tape 7 reaches a position above the abutted end portions of the films. the suppressor 4. which is mounted on a lever 3 pivotable at a pin 2. is actuated to apply force upon the upper surface of the tape 7 and. at the same time. the cutter 5 shears the tape 7 to a length equal to the width of the film. thus forming a tight splice of films A and B.
Referring to FIG. 2. the draw-out roll I3 is shown. as previously mentioned. rotatably supported between the forked end portions II and II" of the arm 11 which is supported by one end of the shaft I0 running through the machine frame 9. The outer circumferential surface of the roll I3 is provided with a plurality of saw-teeth 12 which are formed of a non-sticking material such as TEFLON and are resiliently in contact with the circumferential surface 8' of the guide roll 8, allowing. however. the adhesive tape 7 to be passed therebetween. The other end of the shaft It) runs through and extends beyond the rear wall of the machine frame 9 to support a disk 22. The disk 22 is provided with a protrusion 23 at the upper portion of the surface of the disk 22 away from the rear wall of the machine frame 9. The protrusion 23 is biased toward an arm membrane 24 by means of an eccentric coil spring 15 which is stretched be tween the protrusion 23 and the side arm 24 which is located at a lower portion of the rear wall of the machine frame 9. Thus. when the tape 7 is introduced between the circumferential surface 8' of the roll 8 and the draw-out roll 13. with its adhesive side facing downwardly. the tape is smoothly drawn off the supply roll I4 by the sawteeth I2 by the rotation ofthe roll I3. As is apparent. each tooth l2 has only a small contact area with the tape 7 and the tape is drawn out in a clutch like manner. Because the saw-teeth I2 are made of a nonadhesive material such as Teflon there is no fear of the tape sticking to. and being rolled around. the draw-out roll [3.
Referring to FIG. 3 which shows an enlarged side view of the feed rolls [7 and 19 shown in FIG. l. the feed rolls l7 and 19 are capable of rotated or stopped relative to the movement of the film on the guide rail 1 and are mounted on shafts and 26 respectively supported by the machine frame 9. The circumferential surface 16 of the roll 17 is ofconical-convex configura tion and the circumferential surface 18 of the roll 19 is of frustoconical. concave configuration so that both rolls l7 and I) may be mated with each other leaving a small clearance therebetween for allowing the tape 7 to pass through. Further. since the circumferential sur face [8 of the roll l9 faces the adhesive side ofthe tape 7 it is preferable to have the surface 16 made of a nonsticking material such as TEFLON to prevent the tape from sticking thereto. The tape 7. which has been drawn off the draw-out roll 13. is then inserted automatically into the clearance between the circumferen tial surfaces 16 and 18 of rolls 1? and 19 respectively and. as it advances. is bent V-shaped due to the configuration of the surfaces 16 and I8 so that the nonadhesive side (upper surfacel of the tape 7 is bent V- shaped along the surface [6 and the adhesive side of the tape 7 contacts the surface 18 only along its hypothetical longitudinal central line. resulting in the tape having only a small contact surface with the surface 18. as in the case of the draw-out roll l3. Optionally. the surface l8 of the roll 19 may be provided with a pluralit of saw teeth. like those of the draw-out roll 13. for further preventing the tape 7 from sticking thereto.
Referring to FIGS. 4. S. 6 and 7. the tail end of the preceding film A and the tip of the succeeding film B are aligned with each other within the horizontally evtending film guide rail 1 which has banks on both sides for guiding the movement of both films. in cooperation with a suitable number of upper guide rolls. After passing the splicing apparatus the film is taken up around a reel 6. The roll 8. the dravvout roll 13 (not shown). the feed rolls [7 and 19 (not shown) and the tape suppressor 4 are all aligned normal to the film guide rail 1 so that the tip of the tape 7 may be placed in line with the line between the abutted film ends. Further. as it is apparent from the foregoing explanation. the tip of the tape 7 placed in position above the connection line of the films A and B is bent \/-shaped as shown in FIG. 5 and is thereby prevented from bending downwardly due to gravity. and a tight splice between the films can be obtained when the tape is forced downwardly by the suppressor 4. The tape thus applied on the film connection line is cut by the cutter 5 attached to the suppressor 4.
As described above. the device according to the present invention offers the advantage of a draw-out roll which is provided with a plurality of saw teeth made of an adhesion resistant material which enable the tape to be drawn out smoothly from the tape roll without stick ing to thc draw-out roll. it is a further advantage in that the pair of feed rolls are of concave-convex configuration respectively. which configuration bends the tape into a V-shaped form when passing therethrough so that the tip of the extremely thin tape can move forward horizontally. without hanging down.
Thus. although the present invention has been described only with respect to its preferred embodiment it should be noted that various changes or alterations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and all these are to be included in the scope of the present invention.
