is on the associated edge section below of the base material and the remaining width of the material covered with the protective layer lead dead in a freely touching layer on top of the Base material. The material provided with the protective layer is separated in the longitudinal direction, but the separated Sections are in contiguous relationship and against relative displacement by those with dry- Adhesive provided underside of a strip held. Individual sections of the strip are made by means of a transverse slitting process, which at the same time creates individual areas of the free edge section of the Material forms to create flaps, with the help of which each individual label od. The like. From the edge portion the material provided with the protective layer can be peeled off. The mutual contact area of each individual section of the strip with the corresponding rag is chosen, taking into account the nature of the removable cover and the adhesiveness of the dry adhesive taken into account that after the free end of the strip portion has been brought into its final position, the flap from the adhesive contact with the underside of the The element can be removed by sliding the flap sideways out of contact with the underside of the Strip element, whereupon the non-glued part of the element in adhesive contact in its final Position can be pressed.

The method according to the invention is suitable for high speed production of a lengthwise row of abutting one another cut, continuous dry adhesive sheet elements, each with an associated flap

instructs to remove each item from the assembly for final application. The supporting or base material, the material coated with the releasable protective layer and an adhesive strip continuously fed at the same linear speed to successively in touching one on top of the other to be brought. An adhesive is first applied to one edge of the tape, followed by the material coated with the releasable protective layer is pressed onto it, whereby the two material parts then be held firmly against lateral displacement. Then it is covered with the removable protective layer Material separated in the longitudinal direction in the cave of the adhesive applied at the edge, by first and second To form edge portions of the material provided with the protective layer. Guide rollers and pressure rollers of the device keep the second edge portion of the material provided with the protective layer in free contact Lay it on top of the support material until the dry adhesive strip has been applied linearly over the dividing line of the material provided with the protective layer is, and the two edge sections are then connected against displacement by the strip. Then be the second edge section of the material coated with the protective layer and the strip transversely into individual sections separated at intervals spaced apart along the length of the assembled structure.

The dividing lines of the strip and the second edge portion of the material coated with the protective layer are preferably contiguous cuts, and they are preferably arranged obliquely instead of right

-4- 109849/1650

angled to a longitudinal edge of the composite assembly. The dividing lines are in the angular direction so on the At right angles, that each individual area is taken up during the winding up of the finished tape arrangement into a roll of the strip runs ahead of its associated flap as it enters the role. As a result, each turn of individual flaps inserted into the roll without deformation and protective between successive turns the base material or the tape included.

The same, preferably oblique, separation of the strip and the second edge portion or the flaps facilitates individually feeding each section of the strip and its associated flap, both by hand and in an automatic dispenser. Everyone hurries to unwind the assembled ribbon assembly from a roll Flap its associated strip section ahead, whereby the free end of the strip or flap engages can be to the strip portion from the first edge portion of the coated with the protective layer Material. When the from the second edge portion of the material coated with the protective layer formed flaps are only in free touching superimposed position on the carrier tape, the latter can off the plane of the lobes are deflected out by appropriate guide devices, thereby each individual Provide cloth so that it is in a position for easy gripping with play from the plane of the base or the support material protrudes. By choosing a flexibility of the ■ base material that differs from the flexibility of the sheet element differs, the assembled belt arrangement can be step-by-step through an automatically controllable delivery

Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 7-7 in Fig. 2, on an enlarged scale, showing the relationship showing the individual parts of a single unit of the assembled structure.

The invention is useful for making a wide variety of flexible dry adhesive sheet members, for example labels, tags, leaflets, bandages, film or tape connecting strips and others Elements * which consist of an essentially flexible section consist of tape material that has a dry adhesive on its underside. For the purpose of illustration of the process and the final product according to the invention, a description of the manufacture of a follows Connecting strip with a metal surface, as it is used to connect adjacent ends of a tape.

1 shows sections of a paper carrier tape 10, a transfer adhesive tape 11, a paper tape 12 coated with a releasable protective layer and a dry adhesive tape 13. Although not shown, it will be understood _s that these bands and strips being supplied from a suitably arranged supply roll, all arranged in an apparatus for synchronous feeding of the various bands and strips at the same linear speed by rollers and forms Jaindurch that are provided in the device "

The carrier tape 10 is preferably made of hard, calendered material and is fed from its supply roll via a miter roller 15 onto . the . the over-

guide adhesive tape 11 comes into contact with it in superimposition after it is pulled over a guide roller 16 became. The transfer adhesive tape 11 is one of a variety of commercially available ones Products, typically one with a removable protective layer coated paper strip bearing a peelable adhesive layer. It will be noted that 'the The supply roll of the transfer adhesive tape 11 is aligned with the paper carrier tape 10 so that the adhesive layer is applied along an edge portion of the tape as a relatively narrow strip.

The carrier tape 10 and the adhesive strip then run 11 passes under a pressure roller 17, which firmly attaches the adhesive of the adhesive strip 11 to the carrier tape 10 can press, and around several guide rollers 18, 19 and a 7 / alze 21 takes the paper backing from the adhesive tape 11 and leaves a layer of adhesive 22 on the surface of the fastener tape 10 back. The paper backing of the strip 11 is derived helically and wound onto a waste roll 23.

The paper tape 12 is provided on its upper side with a silicone release layer which has relatively high release properties having. As shown in Fig. 1, the paper tape 12 is in parallel contacting overlap with the carrier tape 10 carrying the adhesive layer brought between a ^ g pair of rollers 25, which leads to that the two bands are secured against mutual displacement, although the greater part of the width of the with the removable protective layer coated paper tape 12 only in free contact overlay on the Liner is and is not glued to it.

-8- 109849/1859

The bands 10 and connected to one another at the edge

,opposite to

12 are then guided over a roller 26, which is rotatable Die 27 is arranged, which is provided with a circumferential cutting edge 28 in the vicinity of its end. It will be noted that the cutting edge 28 is spaced from the adjacent edge of the fastener tape 10 is arranged offset, which is slightly larger than the width of the adhesive layer 22, as is best left The end of Fig. 2 can be seen. The cutting edge 28 can only be covered with the removable protective layer Cut through the paper tape 12 and thereby separates the tape 12 into a first edge section 12a and one wider second edge portion 12b, which along the dividing lines 29 generated by the rotatable die 27 in a continuous Stay in touch. As a result, the first edge section 12a is essentially permanent on the fastener tape 10 glued, while the second edge portion 12b remains in free contact overlay on the carrier tape.

The roll of the dry adhesive tape 13 used in this embodiment consists of a strip of thin material coated with dry glue and covered with aluminum foil. Of the Strips can be a polyester film, such as. B. Mylar, which is coated on one surface with the aluminum foil so that the coated strip 13 has an underside coated with dry adhesive. The strip 13 is relatively narrow compared to tapes 10 and 12 and its supply roll is in alignment with the parting line 29 arranged. As a result, the strip 13 is on top of the coated with the removable protective layer Paper tape 12 under a roller 30 through

1098A9 / 16S9

placed and spans the dividing line 29 to the edge portions 12a and 12b to be connected in a continuously adjacent position.

The assembly from the strips 10 and 12 and from the strip 13 is then guided over a roller 31, which lies opposite a rotatable die 32 which is provided with at least one longitudinal cutting edge 33 is. For the sake of simplicity of illustration, the rotatable die 32 is provided with only a single cutting edge 33 shown. It will be understood, however, that a plurality of such cutting edges are formed on the die and can be in the form of straight instead of helical cutting edges. In in any event, the cutting edge 33 can cut the strip 13 and the tape 12 in the transverse direction without getting into the fastener tape 10 penetrate, and thereby several slots 34 extending at an obtuse angle at longitudinal intervals on the Make a strip structure. The slots 34 can Also along lines perpendicular to the longitudinal edges of the belts 10 and 12 are desired. Preferably will however, the rotatable die 32 is provided with helical cutting edges 33, thereby obliquely to create extending slits 34 which extend transversely to the strip 13 and the tape 12 at an angle, which does not run at right angles to the longitudinal edges of the band structure.

By slitting by means of the rotatable die 32, the strip 13 is divided into several individual sections 13a divided, and the second edge portion 12b of the tape 12 is divided into individual portions, which is a pull tab 12c form 13 for each section of strip.

-10- 109849/1659

Finally, the assembled product is wound up into a roll 35. While the roll 35 is rotated in the winding direction, the successive turns of the carrier tape 10 take up the pull tabs 12c formed by the individual sections between them in order to enclose them in a protective manner. The oblique orientation of the slots 34 is such that each individual section 13a _f precedes its associated peeling tab 12c when entering the roll 35th As a result, the otherwise free pull tabs 12c are inserted into the roll without deformation, and the roll 35 can be handled during transport and also in a dispensing device without the pull tabs being deformed.

It will be understood that the method described above uses a roll of individually removable dry adhesive elements creates in the form of the individual sections 13a. At the right end of FIG. 2 it can be seen that each these individual sections 13a can be removed individually from the roller 35 by simply grasping the free End of a pull tab 12c which is then rotated and pulled in one direction around the individual section 13a peel off from the surface of the first edge portion 12a coated with the releasable protective layer, wherein this of course remains glued to the liner 1ö.

Ih this context gets the attention to the various areas of adhesive contact between the underside of the individual section 13a and the first edge section 12a on the one hand and the end of the associated pull tab 12c on the other hand. Preferably there is the larger contact area with the first edge section 12a in order to prevent peeling of the individual

-11- 109849/1650

Section 13a of the first edge portion 12a instead to ensure an occasional separation of the pull tab 12c from its associated individual section 13a. At the same time, it is desirable to find the optimal contact area between a pull tab 12c and the Determine the underside of a single section 13a of the strip, the adhesiveness of the adhesive used and to consider the quality of the releasable protective layer on the surface of the pull tab are so that the pull tab 12c actually after the final application of the individual section of the strip can be pushed off laterally from the individual section 13a.

It will be noted that a single section 13a of dry adhesive tape is separated from the assembled Structure can be removed simply by lifting and pulling on pull tab 12c. The single section 13a can thus be removed without the fingers touching the adhesive on the underside of the individual section 13a or only with its edges is required. In Figs. 3 and 4 ends are 45 and 46 of an audio tape are shown, which are connected to one another by applying such an individual section 13a should be. It will be seen that the single section is in parallel alignment with ends 45 and 46 can be brought to cover the abutting end portions of the tape and by hand pressure can be applied to the top of the individual section 13a. The pull tab 12c can then laterally in Direction of arrow 47 can be pulled off, whereby the flap out of contact with the underside of the individual section 13a slides. Then, as shown in Fig. 4

-12- 109849/1859

is set, a finger pressure can be applied to the not yet adhering part of the egg cell section 13a in contact with the end 46 of the tape. Since contact with the adhesive on the underside of the individual section 13a by the hand is completely avoided the cleanliness of the connection is considerably increased.

In connection with FIG. 2, the elongated parallelogram shape of the individual section 13a should also be taken into account achieved by cutting the strip at an angle. In connection with the use of such Individual sections 13a when connecting audio tapes and the like, this parallelogram shape is particularly useful both to achieve an exact alignment of the individual section 13a with the tape ends as well as when Preventing mechanical displacement of the individual section 13a from the connection point once it has been has been applied.

In FIGS. 5 and 6, a device is shown which is suitable for automatically dispensing the individual sections 13a of the adhesive strip from the roll 35. A housing 50 has an upper wall 51 on which a weighted guide plate 52 is placed. The top wall 51 and the guide plate 52 thus form a channel therebetween through which the assembled belt structure is directed towards a front wall 53 of the housing. At its rear end, the guide plate 52 is provided with a nac ^ h .oben and rearwardly projecting bent portion%, by the individual peeling tab 12c down on the tape 10 in contacting Übereinander-

-13- 1098A9 / 16S8

position to be bent when the roller 35 is in Unwind direction rotates.

The device has a dispensing station at the junction between the front wall 53 and the top wall 51 of the housing. This dispensing station comprises a roller 54a which is arranged to rotate about a horizontal axis and over which the fastener tape 10 is bent to deflect downward for passage through a gap which is provided between the front surface of the front wall 53 and a cover plate 55 '. Also is At the delivery station a housing 58 is arranged on a corresponding bracket 57, which has a focused light source and a photoelectric cell 60 includes.

The roller 54a can be provided with a guide piece be, which consists of a bare portion of the fastener tape 10, initially by the above-described Guide has been passed so that its end is connected to a winding reel 61 and sufficient can be pulled far to bring the first peel tab 12c on the carrier tape 10 through the dispensing station, wherein the corresponding individual section 13a of the adhesive strip is at rest in a position in which it crosses a light beam 62 which has been directed onto the individual section 13a by means not shown is, so that this beam is reflected as beam 63 and directed into the photoelectric cell 60.

The photoelectric cell 60 has a portion of a circle (not shown) that includes a relay ' and a motor or the like. Can start and stop the

-14- 109 849/1859

is drivingly connected to the take-up reel 61. As long as there is a single section 13a of the adhesive strip is in a position in which it reflects light from the light source 59 to the photoelectric cell 60, the motor drive circuit remains open and the take-up reel 61 at rest, but if the foremost and forwards Detected protruding pull tabs 12c and the corresponding individual section 13a from the first edge section 12a is peeled off, the control circuit is closed and actuates the relay to turn the take-up reel 61 to turn further an angle, which is sufficient to the to bring the next individual section 13a into the delivery position. Thereupon the coming from the light source 59 becomes Light again from the surface of the next individual section 13a into the photoelectric cell 60 reflects, thereby de-energizing the control system. Although the control system described above is successful with a single section 13a provided with a metal foil on the upper side was used, is understandable be that it can also be used with individual sections 13a that do not have a metallic surface. For this purpose, there is only one other possibility of reflection between the surface of the individual section 13a and that Section of the underlying first edge section 12a required, which is normally from the individual section 13a is covered. For example, one of these surfaces could have a mirror reflector, while the other Surface has the properties of a diffuser, or both surfaces can be specular or diffusing or vary in color or color value, but there may be appropriate filters in the path of the reflected Beam 63 can be switched on to switch between

-15-109849 / 1650

to distinguish different properties of the light reflected by two different optically reflective surfaces.

From Fig. 5 it will be seen that the guide means for the assembled assembly at the delivery station the individual "pull tabs 12c from the normally separate supporting tape 10 underneath. When thus the assembled tape assembly out of the case 50 is conveyed to the outside, since the free end of each pull tab runs ahead of the individual section 13a, to which it is connected, a sufficient portion of the length of the pull tab in the horizontal plane Plane carried to protrude from the front wall of the housing forward, while that portion of the fastener tape 10, which was originally located immediately below, is deflected downward into the channel between the front wall 53 and the cover plate 55 is formed.
