Patent ES-8503567-A3 (ES)
Title: Feeder for continuous printed material
IPC: B41J15/04
Filed: 1983-12-02
Abstract: The continuous feeder consists of two platforms (17) enclosed with opposite side walls (16). The sheets can be stacked separately on each platform and jockey rollers (15) can carry the continuous strip (12) clear of the feeder. - The continuous strip is stacked in concertina on the platforms. The sheets may pass over a joining ribbon (20) in the centre of the feeder for the application of adhesive on the top sides of the sheets. The stacks may be located by a second stack with the sheets vertical (19). EPAB- EP--42619 B Apparatus for the splicing of sheets, including a splicing plane; means for temporarily retaining the two sheets to be spliced on said splicing plane with the two adjacent edges of said sheets being kept in a desired position one in respect to the other; means for application of splicing adhesive tape; and means for cutting and trimming said adhesive tape in  correspondence to prefixed and adjustable positions, characterised in that said splicing plane (25) includes two independent    semi-planes supported by a common base, said semi-planes being separated by a stationary partition (32), the upper face (37) of which, coplanar with said semi-planes, lies within a horizontal plane passing through the line along which the splicing of said two sheets has to be carried out, said upper face (37) having a width at least equal to that of said splicing adhesive tape (45) which is put on the upper face (37) with the adhesive side facing upwardly, said semi-planes (33,34) being movable between a first position, wherein at least their edge adjacent to said upper face (37) of said stationary partition  (32) is raised in respect to said upper face (37), and a second position in which the said edges are level with the upper face (37) presser means (81) adapted to engage said two adjacent edges to be spliced and press them against the adhesive face of said adhesive tape (40), which is provided with a notched or bored line to separate by tearing the two spliced sheets. (37pp) - EP--42619 B Apparatus for the splicing of sheets, including a splicing plane; means for temporarily retaining the two sheets to be spliced on said splicing plane with the two adjacent edges of said sheets being kept in a desired position one in respect to the other; means for application of splicing adhesive tape; and means for cutting and trimming said adhesive tape in correspondence to prefixed and adjustable positions, characterised in that said splicing plane (25) includes two independent semi-planes supported by a common base, said semi-planes being separated by a stationary partition (32), the upper face (37) of which, coplanar with said semi-planes, lies within a horizontal plane passing through the line along which the splicing of said two sheets has to be carried out, said upper face (37) having a width at least equal to that of said splicing adhesive tape (45) which is put on the upper face (37) with the adhesive side facing upwardly, said semi-planes (33,34) being movable between a first position, wherein at least their edge adjacent to said upper face (37) of said stationary partition (32) is raised in respect to said upper face (37), and a second position in which the said edges are level with the upper face (37) presser means (81) adapted to engage said two adjacent edges to be spliced and press them against the adhesive face of said adhesive tape (40), which is provided with a notched or bored line to separate by tearing the two spliced sheets. (37pp) USAB- US4421590 A The device is for the splicing of sheet material, especially for forms made up as packages containing the forms as a continuous accordion folded strip. - The device comprises a splicing plane consisting of two semiplanes whereupon the two sheets or forms to be spliced are placed and retained, upon having spread along the splicing line a length of adhesive tape and having the same sized and trimmed. The device is provided for pressing the edges of the two sheets to be spliced against the adhesive face of the tape, and for the final trimming of the spliced junction.  (32pp)e
