The invention relates to an adhesive piece for the adhesive connection of material webs. The adhesive piece comprises an adhesive compound carrier which bears adhesive compound on two opposite sides, and at least one release liner which originally covers, at least in certain regions, the adhesive compound carrier and also the adhesive compound present there, protrudes at least in certain regions beyond the adhesive compound carrier, and is removable by a release liner removal apparatus.

The invention relates to a release liner removal apparatus, comprising at least one release liner removal device for removing at least one release liner from at least one adhesive piece arranged on a material web, at least one support body which supports the at least one release liner removal device, and at least one guide body which is arranged adjacent to the at least one release liner removal device at least during the removal of the at least one release liner and which serves for guiding the material web.

The invention relates to a material web drawing-in apparatus for drawing in a material web. The material web drawing-in apparatus comprises at least one material web holding device for holding the material web to be drawn in, and at least one guide for guiding the at least one material web holding device from a material web drawing-in point to a material web transfer point, and also at least one drawing-in drive which is in connection with the at least one material web holding device and which serves for displacing the at least one material web holding device along the at least one guide upon drawing in the material web to be drawn in in the direction of the material web transfer point.

The invention relates to a plant having at least one material roll preparation arrangement for bringing a material roll carrying a material web to be drawn in into a defined initial situation, and having at least one material web working/processing arrangement, in particular material web dispensing arrangement, in particular material web unrolling arrangement, in particular material web splicing arrangement, which material web working/processing arrangement is capable, owing to the defined initial situation of the material roll, of receiving the material roll in automated fashion and preferably receiving the material web in automated fashion and/or preparing the material web in automated fashion.

The splicing device for splicing a trailing edge of a first web material to a leading edge of a second web material includes members defining a feed path of the web material. The device also includes a first cutting member and a second cutting member, cooperating with the first cutting member. One of the two cutting members is provided with a movement transverse to the feed path of the web material, to move the cutting member from an operating position, in which it is in front of the other cutting member, to an idle position, withdrawn with respect to the feed path of the web material.

An electrode connection cause determination system includes a position measuring instrument. The position measuring instrument is configured to, when an electrode moves between an unwinder and a rewinder in a roll-to-roll state, acquire coordinate value data based on a longitudinal position of the electrode determined according to a rotation amount of the rewinder. The system includes a signal generator configured to generate a connection advance notice signal if the electrode includes a connecting portion corresponding to a cause event, a seam detector configured to detect a seam attached onto the electrode after the connection advance notice signal is generated, and a determination unit configured to, when the seam is detected within a predetermined distance from a first coordinate value of the electrode after the connection advance notice signal is generated, determine that a connection cause of an electrode connection by the seam corresponds to the cause event.

A device for separating a gummed paper and a lining paper of a double-sided tape is provided. In an example, the device includes a housing, a first rotating structure and a second rotating structure which are provided within the housing and a control part. A chamber for accommodating a double-sided tape coil is provided in the housing. The control part fits the chamber, and the double-sided tape coil is rotatable around the control part. The housing is provided with a sliding groove for accommodating the first rotating structure. When the first rotating structure abuts against the second rotating structure, the first rotating structure is positioned in a first limiting part of the sliding groove.

An apparatus and method for assembling, dispensing and using a laminated paper web transfer tape, an embodiment of the apparatus having a pair of transfer tape spools enclosed within a housing, one transfer tape spool containing a first tape component of the laminated transfer tape and the other transfer tape spool containing a second tape component of the laminated transfer tape, the first tape component being the combination of a substrate having adhesive on both sides and a release liner, the second tape component being a cover flap member having a release coating over at least a majority of one side. The components are unwound from the spools and pressed together such that they become joined along a longitudinal edge strip, then dispensed from the housing. The cover flap member covers one of the adhesive sides of the transfer tape substrate until the moment just prior to transfer of a continuous paper web from a full web spool to an empty web spool, the cover flap member being opened to expose the adhesive by air pressure or resistance.

The splicing device for splicing a trailing edge of a first web material to a leading edge of a second web material includes members defining a feed path of the web material. The device also includes a first cutting member and a second cutting member, cooperating with the first cutting member. One of the two cutting members is provided with a movement transverse to the feed path of the web material, to move the cutting member from an operating position, in which it is in front of the other cutting member, to an idle position, withdrawn with respect to the feed path of the web material.

Subject matter of the invention is an adhesive tape (K) for on-the-fly roll changeover of flat web material (RB) wound up into rolls (R; B), having a carrier layer (K3), which comprises a first surface (K31) and a second surface (K32) opposite the first surface (K31), a first layer of adhesive (K1), which is disposed indirectly or directly over at least part of the area on the first surface (K31) of the carrier layer (K3), a second layer of adhesive (K2), which is disposed on at least one areal region (FB) of the second surface (K32) of the carrier layer (K3), and at least one predetermined breakage area for the areal splitting of the adhesive tape (K), where the predetermined breakage area is configured such that the at least one areal region (FB) comprises a surface coating (K4), which is disposed between the carrier layer (K3) and the second layer of adhesive (K2), where the forces of adhesion of the second layer of adhesive (K2) to the surface coating (K4) are greater than the forces of adhesion of the surface coating (K4) to the carrier layer (K3), and/or where the forces of adhesion of the second layer of adhesive (K2) to the surface coating (K4) are greater than the forces of cohesion within the surface coating (K4), wherein the second layer of adhesive (K2) has a deactivated bonding region (K6) on a surface (K21) pointing in the carrier layer (K3) direction.
