Abstract:
Device for connecting material webs (14), having at least one splicing station (17) in which an outgoing material web (14) is drawn from a reel (16) and in which a replacement reel (18) is held ready for connecting an initial section (19) of a new material web (14) to the outgoing material web (14), characterized by the following features:a) the outgoing and the new material webs (14) are coated on one side with adhesive (15) for providing adhesive tapes (10) for folded cardboard boxes,b) the outgoing material web (14) runs along a guide over a deflection roller (21), in such a way that the adhesive (15) lies on a free outer side,c) the initial section (19) of the new material web (14) which is to be connected to the outgoing material web lies with its adhesive (15) side against a transfer member (30),d) the transfer member (30) is provided with projections in such a way that the initial section (19) lies with the adhesive side against the projections of the transfer member (30) with reduced retaining force,e) the initial section (19) of the new material web is being pressed with its non-adhesive side against the facing adhesive side (15) of the outgoing material web (14) on a deflection roller (21) by moving the transfer member (30) with the initial section (19) of the new material web.
