Patent ID: 6935396

Claim:
A device for applying precut splicing tapes initially attached successively to a first strip serving as support made of flexible material, onto a second strip made of flexible material of an end of a roll, by successively separating the splicing tapes from the first strip, said device comprising: at least one frame in which are arranged an unwinding device, a winding device, a guide, and a mechanical tension checker of the first strip, a pressure part enabling the splicing tape separated from the first strip to be applied to a second strip of the end of the roll when said roll is approached by the pressure part; a passive device of electrostatic discharge acting by an electrical field effect and attached to one of the guides of the device, said passive device having an end placed in a sticking zone just before an intersection of paths of the separated splicing tape and the second strip to be stuck, as close as possible to the path of the separated splicing tape without touching said tape, and without touching the second strip to be stuck, so as to generate the electrostatic discharge at the sticking zone and prevent attraction of the separated tape by the pressure part.
