Abstract

For making a web connection, an adhesive tape is used which essentially features on only one side an adhesive layer. The cover foil of this adhesive layer is comprised of two parts that are separated by a longitudinal seam. Applied on the other side of the substrate of the adhesive layer is at least one narrow adhesive strip, also having a cover foil, which preferably is contained on an edge of the adhesive tape. Also provided is a double-stick adhesive tape wherein the longitudinal seam is created by a plurality of perforations. The tapes of the invention can be used as a splice for a paper roll. Processes and devices for making such splice are also disclosed.

Description

r., 2038631 SPLICE AND PROCESS FOR MAKING
A SPLICE ON THE LEADER OF A PAPER ROLL
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention concerns a splice on the leader of a paper roll, and a process for making such a splice.
Adhesive tapes have been utilized which on one side feature the adhesive layer, or adhesive layers, for taping the end of the old web and the leader of the new roll. Part of this adhesive layer is glued underneath the start of the new paper roll.
There is a prior process for making seam splices on running webs, on unwinding devices, for instance for coaters, where a double-sided adhesive tape is applied on the end of the web wound into a paper roll. Once the web end has then been fixed on the paper roll, the second cover foil of the adhesive tape is removed so that when pushing down on the old web passing the paper roll the ends of the webs are being spliced. The disadvantage encountered is that in the following coater, for instance on a blade serving as a doctor element for the coating mixture, the front end of the joined paper web causes a heavy jolt on the blade. Furthermore, a certain, although small, sump of coating mixture also is created at this point, tending to contaminate subsequent rolls, reversing rollers etc.
The problem underlying the invention is to propose a splice and an adhesive tape which makes it possible to make a web splice without the aforementioned disadvantages, where specifically only a slight jolt and ,v ,o . 20 39 631 a low joint edge of the web are supposed to be given at a future slicing of the running web(s).
It is therefore an object of the present invention to obviate or mitigate the above disadvantages.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a splicing tape to overlap adjacent ends of a pair of webs, said tape having oppositely directed surfaces with an adhesive on one of said surfaces for adhering to said adjacent ends, an adhesive strip located on the other of said surfaces to provide a pair of oppositely directed adhesive faces, one of said faces being adhered to said other surface and the other of said faces being directed away from said other surface for engagement with a subsequent portion of one of said webs. Preferably said other face has a significantly greater adhesion than said one face whereby, after engagement with said subsequent portion, said strip will remain adhered to said subsequent portion and separated from said other surface.
2o According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided an adhesive tape for making a web connection to a paper roll, comprising:
a tape member having a front side and a back side, and having respective longitudinal edges, said front side of said tape member including either an adhesive layer or two mutually parallel adhesive layers separated from each other by a narrow space, said adhesive layer or layers ~ 2039631 supporting a cover foil comprising cover foil members, said cover foil members being separated by a longitudinal seam or by said space; and at least one adhesive strip having two sides and having an adhesive layer on each of said sides, said adhesive strip being adhered to said back side of said tape member by the adhesive layer of one said sides of said strip, wherein the adhesion of the side of said adhesive strip adhered to the back side of the tape member is weaker than the adhesion of the other side of said adhesive strip, said adhesive strip extending parallel to said longitudinal edges of said tape member.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is a leader for a rolled web of material having a splicing tape secured thereto for connection to another web of material, said tape having a pair of opposite surfaces with an adhesive on one of said surfaces, a portion of said one surface being adhered to a terminal zone of said web with another portion thereto carrying a removable cover to inhibit adhesion to said web, another of said surfaces carrying an adhesive strip having one adhesive face adhered to said other surface and another of said adhesive faces adhered to a radially outwardly directed surface of said web spaced along said web from said terminal zone.
A favourable process for making a splice at the leader of a paper roll using adhesive tapes of the present invention is characterized by the following _ ~ ZO 39 631 features: (a) the web leader is kept distant from the paper roll, for instance by forming a loop which is temporarily fixed on the paper roll at the edge of the leader; (b) the adhesive tape is applied either on the loop, after removal of a cover foil, with the adhesive layer corresponding to the cover foil, or the adhesive tape is applied on a spot of the paper roll exposed through the removal of the web leader, with the adhesive layer of the adhesive strips or corresponding adhesive films, as well parallel to the axis of the paper roll;
(c) facultatively upon elimination of the loop or removal of the cover foil closer to the exposure spot of the web leader from the paper roll, the paper roll and web leader are taped together while the web is wound taut; and (d) the overhang tail of the web leader, at the joint of the removed cover foil toward the remaining cover foil of the one web side, is detached, preferably by tearing it off by hand.
A favourable device for making a splice is also described. A device, specifically a paper roll carriage provided with it, is provided for application of an adhesive tape on the web leader of a paper roll or on the paper roll parallel to its center. A guide rail extending parallel to the paper roll is provided, having a guideway for a cassette or unwinding device containing the adhesive tape roll.

4A t, 2 0 3 9 6 3 1 In another embodiment, the invention provides a process for making a splice for a web leader and a paper roll using a double-stick adhesive tape, 15 wherein said adhesive tape comprises a tape member having a linear set of first perforations extending genefally therethrough in a center area thereof whereby said first perforations comprise a first longitudinal seam, said tape member having a front side and a back side and having 20 respective longitudinal edges, each of said sides of said tape member having an adhesive layer thereon, wherein said adhesive layers are covered by respective cover foils, wherein on at least one side of said first perforations on the front side of said tape member the 25 adhesive layer is subdivided into two parts by second perforations parallel to said longitudinal edge, and wherein said second perforations comprise a second longitudinal seam, said second longitudinal seam being perforated to a lesser degree when compared to said first longitudinal seam and wherein the adhesive layer on said back side comprises a plurality of adhesive strips disposed generally parallel to said 2ongitudinal edges, one of said adhesive strips on saic'_ back side being situated generally adjacent a longitudinal edge, and another of said adhesive strips on said back side being situated generally adjacent said first perforations , said process comprising:
maintaining initially a fixed distance between said web leader and said paper roll by forming a loop whereby said loop is temporarily fixed on said paper roll -- ~ 2039631 at an edge of the web leader;
removing the cover foil from the adhesive layer 15 on one side of said first perforations on the front side of the tape member so that an adhesive layer is exposed with an adhesive strip being located on the back of the same side of the adhesive tape along a longitudinal edge thereof whereby said adhesive tape is affixed by adhesion 20 to an exposed portion of said paper roll at the uncovered portion of said adhesive surface;
removing said adhesive tape with its part not glued in place and, by means of said adhesive strips on said back side, affixing by adhesion one on top of 25 another with its two parts back to back;
removing the cover foil contained on the front side of said tape member and which to the separation point of the web leader is kept distant from said paper roll is closer than the other cover foil on said front side;
affixing by adhesion the last winding of said roll on the adhesive surface that has been exposed last;
and separating an overhang tail portion of said web leader on the edge of the last exposed adhesion spot or at the joint toward the remaining cover foil.

Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The exemplifications set out herein illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention, and such exemplifications are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner.
Description of the Preferred Embodiment In Figures 1 and 4 through 6, the adhesive layer is indicated by dashed line. Corresponding or similar components, for instance cover foils, are signified in the various drawings using the same reference symbols, but with a varying number of prime signs.
Referring therefore to Figure 1 a splicing tape 1 consists of a backing 2 having an adhesive layer 3 on one of the oppositely directed faces 2a, 2b of the backing 2.
Cover foils 4 and 5 separated from each other by a longitudinal seam 9 cover and adhere to the adhesive layer 3. A further, narrow, double-stick adhesive strip E 2039fi31 (also adhesive tape) 7 is located adjacent the edge of layer 2 and has a pair of oppositely directed adhesive coatings 7a,7b. The coating 7a secures the strip 7 to the layer 2 and the coating 7b is covered with another cover foil 8 as shown. The adhesive strip 7 may alternatively be formed by a number of adhesive dots or adhesive areas.
The adhesive force of the adhesive coating 7b of the adhesive strip 7 contained underneath the cover foil 8 is considerably greater than the adhesive force of the adhesive coating 7a on the other side of this adhesive strip 7.
As illustrated in Figure 2, the splicing tape 1 is attached initially to the "end" C of the paper web that forms the "leader" of the paper roll A.
The splicing tape 1, is tacked onto the paper web end C of the paper roll A, on the side of the web facing toward the interior of the paper roll A and also engages the web onthe outward-facing side B of the same lap of the paper web. This may be accomplished by, e.g., manually flapping the end of the paper web C back into the dashed position shown in Figure 2 (loop G), in which this end is temporarily fastened on the paper roll with adhesive pieces (P). With the arrangement according to Figure 2, therefore, the cover foil 5 is initially pealed off on the one side of the adhesive tape 1 and the layer 2a applied to the web C. The foil 8 is then removed and C

._ ,,~ 2 0 3 9 6 31 the loop G released to bring the layer 7b into contact with the outer surface B of the web C.
With the adhesive strip 7 web end C of the paper roll being fastened, as shown in Figure 2, the adhesive strip 7 adheres more so to the paper roll B than to the adhesive tape 1. Thus as the web end C is torn off due to the traction of the old web when splicing the two webs, the strip 7 remains adhered to the surface B rather than to make the joint between adjacent ends of webs, as shown in Figure 3, the cover foil 4 is pulled off the adhesive tape 1. This enables at this point the connection of the web end C with the old web D. The arrows in Figure 3 indicate the running direction of the web. It is also evident from Figure 3 that the narrow adhesive strip 7 still clings to the paper roll at the .
location spaced from the adhesive tape 1. Conveniently, at that point, a reinforcement tape 70 is additionally taped on the paper roll although, however, it may often also be omitted.
The adhesive strip 7 (also 6, 10, in Figure 4; 11, in Figure 5) follows the splice at the distance of a paper roll circumference and thus, as the case may be, can remove paper web remnants that may have remained back on the doctor element and are created as the old paper web is pulled off its core, which is very important for the quality of the applied coating.
The splice between the webs C, D is thus made with a single sided tape overlapping the two ends. This keeps .. 9 ~, 2039631 the thickness of the joint at the doctor element (coating blade S) of Figure 3 low. Hence, also only a very slight amount of coating mixture can accumulate at the joint.
The adhesion provided on the strips 7, each of which may also be a sole adhesive layer, will preferably be made less on the side facing the adhesive tape 2, etc., than on the other side. To that end, the adhesive surfaces on both sides may be varied in size, with adhesive having equal adhesion per unit area on both sides.
In some cases, a splicing tape 1 as described above may not be available, but it is possible to fabricate such a tape for making a splice as proposed and described hereafter in detail using various tape formations. In this case, the adhesive strip 7 may also be an appropriately wide adhesive film.
As stated above, the leader of the new paper roll A
is folded over to a loop G and taped in place on the paper roll using small adhesive tape pieces P. The cover foil 5 of splicing tape 2 is then removed and the backing layer 2 is taped with its adhesive surface 2a down on the leader C, parallel to the axial web edge (leader = front web end). Next, a narrow double-stick adhesive strip 7 with cover foil 8 according to Figure 1 is affixed on the surface 2b of the adhesive tape 2 here, for instance on the unaffixed end (since the cover foil 4 is still contained there) in the area of the longitudinal web edge. All this may be performed manually or also by r, 2039631 to means of an unwinding device for tape which is installed on a rail that is parallel to the paper roll as will be explained more fully below. The expression "narrow adhesive strip" (or adhesive film) means here that it does not have the full width but, e.g., only a width of maximally 80% of the width of the backing layer 2, etc.
In the context of the invention, "narrow" adhesive tapes are recommended for splicing.
The embodiment of Figure 1 shows a single adhesive l0 tape 7. However, other configurations of splicing tape are feasible. According to Figure 4, the adhesive tape 2 may also be provided with several smaller adhesive strips 6,7 at opposite edges and, if preferred, intermediate the edges as indicated at 10. Each of the strips 6,7,10 have respective cover foils 8, 8' and 8" on their nonstick side.
Another tape formation is depicted in Figure 5, where another adhesive tape 11 of the same width as the adhesive tape 2' with cover foil 12 is applied on the two marginal adhesive strips 6' and 7'. The cover foil 12 may additionally feature a separating point E, analogous to the separating point 9 of the cover foils 4, 5, or 4',5'. The sections of the cover foil 12 can then be pulled off successively and the adhesive tape 11, and thus also the adhesive tape 2', and thus also the leader C can be fastened firmly on the paper roll.
Figure 6 illustrates an adhesive tape with a double-sided adhesive coating. It possesses on the one side, as 20 39 fi3~

described so far, the divided cover foils 4" and 5" and on the other side a strip-shaped adhesive layer, such as indicated by the dashed lines, with the individual film strips covered each by a cover foil 71 through 74. When firmly attaching the web leader C to the paper roll, these cover foils can be removed successively and the adhesive tape 2" fastened firmly on the paper roll.
This takes place, at a point where an additional adhesive tape 70 as shown in Figure 8 is applied on the next to the last lap of the paper roll. This is preferably a single-sided adhesive tape 70' used when the paper roll has in axial direction undergone a wavy deformation and formed grooves, due to the effect of moisture. In this case, the adhesive tape 70' adheres strongly to the bumps in the paper roll A, and the narrow adhesive strips 6,7 or 10 or the adhesive strips 11 (Fig.
5) or 2" (Fig. 6) adhere then very well to the outer surface of this additional adhesive 70'.
Taped directly on the wavy paper roll, the additional tape 70' is relatively wide, as is evident from Fig. 8, allowing all of the narrow adhesive strips 6,7 to adhere to it. This additional adhesive tape 70', like the tape 70 shown in Figure 3, has an adhesive layer of a very high adhesive strength so that in the splicing process, in which the leader of the new web, that is the paper roll A, is connected with the old web D at a high speed, this additional adhesive tape including the narrow __ x.2439631 adhesive strips 6,7 will continue to stick to the paper roll, and thus separate from the backing layer 2".
Indicated in Figure 7 is additional a variant of the adhesive tape formation shown in Figure 5, where an adhesive tape twice as wide is used. In the center there is provided a heavy perforation H, so that the tape formation according to Figure 5 can be obtained by folding over in the direction of arrow F. To that end, the small adhesive strips 6' and 7' are suitably provided here also, as indicated in Figure 7. This backing layer 2" is provided on the adhesive surface 2a " ' with cover foils 4',5'; 4 " ',5 " ' that are subdivided in longitudinal direction, as indicated. Thus, also the design of the cover foils corresponds in this case to that according to Figure 5 with the foils 4 " ', 5 " ' providing the layer 12.
It will be noted that relatively large adhesive areas are located under the cover foils 4, 5, 4', 5' or 4", 5" in order to later, in the splice device (for so-called "flying splices"), splice the running webs flawlessly.
Any protruding tail 90 (Figure 2) of the paper leader C that is created when the splicing tape 1 is not affixed exactly aligned on the otherwise absolutely straight axial web edge can be retroactively detached, for instance simply torn off by hand, along the bordering axial edge of the remaining foil 4, 4'.
~1 It is conceivable that the tape configurations according to Figure 1 and 4 through 7 can be manufactured and thus be commercially available. In this case, the process described so far is simplified, as will be described hereafter.
To achieve the arrangement shown in Figure 2, the splicing tape 1 is not affixed to the loop G, but directly to the paper roll A on the surface B by means of the narrow adhesive strip 7 or in case several are available with the adhesive strips 7, 8 or 10 or with appropriate adhesive films applied on the backside of the adhesive tape 2. Cover foils 8, 8' or 8 " that are present, naturally, are removed previously. The loop G
that is formed to access the surface B is sufficiently large so that the.web leader c, upon elimination of the loop, can still be brought into contact with distant adhesive surface under the cover foil 5, according to Figure 2. Any excess will protrude as a "tail" 90 which then is preferably removed by hand along the edge of the adhesive layer or the still present cover foil 4. This makes for a very simple process of making the splice, without requiring expensive mechanisms.
Naturally, it is possible to provide a simple device with a linear guide for affixing the adhesive tapes to the paper roll. Also, making a loop G may be omitted, permitting the loose web end simply to hang down vertically according to Figure 2.

However, Figure 2 indicates by broken line that the tape 1 may also be attached to the loop G from outside.
Figure 9 shows basically how the process just described can also be applied very well in a rewinding device for a paper roll, by stopping the new paper roll (i.e., naturally, at the same time also the old one) in the rewinding process. The splicing tape 1 or one of the other configurations according to Figures 4-7 is then glued in the last described way, so to speak with the "backside" on the paper roll, as indicated by arrow 1.
The front side is then that which preferably contains the continuous adhesive layer with the cover foils 4 and 5 or 4' and 5' or 4" and 5" . The one cover foil . in t-ha examples always 5 or 5' or 5 " , is first separated.
Next, the paper roll is rotated in the direction of rotation as indicated by the arcuate arrow until the web 1 has passed the squeeze point in the press gap between the press roll 71 and the paper roll. During this passage, the future web leader C is attached to the paper roll A by means of the adhesive tape 1. The new paper roll can then be separated from the old paper roll 73 with the cutter, as indicated at 72, previously or only subsequently. The overhang "tail" of the new paper roll A is then, as described above, separated along the joint of the cover foils 4 and 5, preferably by hand. As said before, the cover foil 4 remains generally still on the adhesive tape, since that foil is separated only when making the final splice in processing the paper roll.

203963'~~
This process, as the case may be, may also be modified in that the adhesive tape is applied with the front side, i.e., after removal of the one cover foil part 4 or 5, 4' or 5', 4 " or 5 " , on the web end in the 5 area of the contact roll 71, in that then, as the case may be, the cover foils 8, 8', 8 " of the smaller adhesive strips 6 or 7 or 10 are pealed off and the tape, and thus the web end, i.e., actually the new web leader C, is taped to the new paper roll A by means of these 10 adhesive strips, which may be accomplished in that the new paper roll A is rotated somewhat in the direction of winding, so that the adhesive tape will pass the squeeze point between the contact roll 71 and the new paper roll A.
15 To facilitate attachment of the splicing tape 1, conventional equipment may be modified as described below.
Figure 10 is a basic sketch of a paper roll carriage 80 where on a frame 81 a support plate 82 is provided for the shaft 83 of the core 84 of the paper roll A. Mounted on the frame 81, on both sides of the paper roll A, is a console 85 which is perpendicular to the paper roll axis or peripheral surface of the paper roll A and essentially horizontal. The console is shown supported by a holder strip 87 featuring a guide in which the console 85 can be moved vertically. The console 85 supports a guide rail 86, which is, movable in horizontal direction in guides 88. A cassette or other unwinding device for adhesive C

._ 2039fi31 tapes or adhesive strips can be mounted for movement along the axis of the paper roll A, on the guide rail 86.
For the guide rail 86', as indicated by broken line, there may also be provided an essentially radial console 85' arranged relative to the paper roll axis, on both sides of the paper roll on the paper roll carriage. Not illustrated here is that the cassette or the unwinding device for adhesive tapes may be mounted on the guide rail 86 by means of a springed holder, i.e., that the cassette, for instance, might be connected by way of a spring arrangement with a slider block running in the guideway 89 of the guide rail 86.
As illustrated in Figure 11 and Figure 12, the cassette K can be retained in the guide rail 86 by means of a slider 91 and a holder rail 92 and run along the guide rail 86. The holder rail 92 is fastened on the slider through springs 93 and bolts 94. The bolts 94 are threaded bolts, thus making it possible to exchange the holder rail 92 including the cassette for a specific cassette width. Serving that purpose is a holder plate 95 which can be fastened on the holder rail 92 by means of wing nuts 97. Also illustrated is that during the unwinding of the adhesive tape the cover foil 5 can be separated from the adhesive tape roll R by means of a narrow, thin strip 96.
Figure 13 illustrates a device for facilitating the attachment of the adhesive tape 1 to the end C of the web. There is a pivoting frame 22 provided which on its c ~~ 203963' upper end supports a guide and retaining roll 13 that is mounted in bearings 33. This retaining roll is a hollow cylinder with shell bores which connect to a vacuum, relative to the atmosphere, which is to be generated inside the retaining roll 13. The web C is held thereby on the retaining roll. Below the retaining roll 13, a worktable 14 is mounted on a lever 15 that pivots about a pivot 20 and supports a tabletop 16. The pivotal lever can be swivelled by a hydraulic jack element 29, through l0 the intermediary of its ram 30, in the position illustrated by broken lines, in which the tabletop 16 bears on the shell surface of the retaining roll 13. The hydraulic jack element 29 is mounted on a bearing device 32 in the swivel frame 22. The latter, in turn, is swivelable by means of a hydraulic jack element 21 which, for one, is mounted on a base 19 by means of bearing element 24 and, for another, by means of a bearing element 23 on the swivel frame. The latter, in turn, pivots about the bearing point 27 on the base 19.
Figure 14, enlarged, illustrates the worktable 14 with the tabletop 16. The latter features a number of holder elements (holder pins) 25 with the aid of which it is possible to align the adhesive strip pieces on the tabletop 16. Additionally, the tabletop features bores 26. The worktable 14 being fashioned as 60 a hollow box which by means of connection 41 can be subjected to a vacuum relative to the atmosphere, this vacuum becomes effective through the bores 26, retaining the adhesive C

~.2~39631 strip pieces on the tabletop 16, so that, as the latter pivots toward the retaining roll 13, these pieces do not drop of f .
The adhesive tape, i.e., the pieces of adhesive tape, that are placed on the worktable accord to the form of Figure 1 and thus are applied on the end of the web C
as the worktable 14 swivels up. As the guide and retaining roll 13 and the paper roll A, respectively, rotate, the end of the paper web C is guided in the attachment position relative to the paper roll A. In the process, the cover foil 8 of the narrow adhesive strip 7 is previously removed.
It will be noted in Figure 14 that the tabletop features a tearing edge 18 that corresponds to the splice edge of the web end C. In the dash-dotted position of the worktable 14 according to Figure 14, this edge can be produced by tearing the excess paper of the web end off.
The pins 25 and bores 26 maintain the adhesive strips aligned with the serrated edge.
Naturally, also other accessory devices are may be utilized which enable the separation of the web in the illustrated form.
Figure 16 shows the position of the adhesive tape 1 where it has been taped by the worktable 14 to the web end of Figure 4. Figure 15 depicts a device of the guide roll 13 which does not feature the worktable 14 according to Figure 13. Instead, a fixed worktable 17 is provided that is fastened on the swivel frame 22'. The adhesive r7 19 x.2039631 tape 1 or pieces thereof are applied here directly on the end of the web C by hand.
In Figure 17, the worktable 15 is fashioned as a box with an approximately quadratic cross section. The tabletop on which the adhesive strips are placed is marked 16'. The interior of the box is hollow and preferably kept at a vacuum relative to the atmosphere, or at least partly, at any rate in the area where the table top 16' is located. To that end, a connection 41 similar to the design of the embodiment relative to Figure 14 is to be provided (here marked 41'). Bores 26 as in the embodiment according to Figure 14 are provided as well in the work surface. For an indented splice according to Figure 14, the fixing pins 25 need to be provided as well, which, naturally, must be retractable in design, for instance through spring-loading.
The paper web hangs with its end, according to the broken line, over the retaining roll 13. To begin with, the worktable 50 is swivelled in a position in which the cutting edge 54 clips the paper web along an intended splicing edge. For that purpose, the shell surface of the retaining roll 13 is preferably rubber-coated. The adhesive strips which have been placed on the worktable 16' are retained by the vacuum and, upon retraction of the worktable 50 by means of swivel arm 15', rotated in a position in which the work surface 16', as illustrated in the figure, is exactly opposite the retaining roll 13.
The adhesive strip can then be attached, through a f 20 39 63?
controlled swivel movement of the worktable 50, also in zig-zag shape to the end of the paper web. This swivel movement can be accomplished either through a stepping motor or by means of hydraulic elements in keeping with 5 the elements 21 and 29 according to Figure 13, with the aid of limit switches. The swivel frame corresponds essential to that of figure 13 and is marked 22 " here.
In Figure 18, the worktable is fashioned as roll 52 formed by a hollow cylinder. It also features a cutting 10 edge 54. The work surface should be conceived in a position comparable to the worktable in Figure 13. Here, too, the roll 52 forming the worktable must feature a swivel or rotary drive for a specific swivel or rotary motion.
15 The bending resistance moment of the retaining roll 13 is preferably considerably greater than that of the worktable 16, 50 or 52.
While this invention has been described as having a preferred design, the present invention can be further 20 modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptions of the invention using its general principles. Further, this application is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains and which fall within the limits of the appended claims.
