Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for splic ⁇ ing a running web, where a replacement roll is accelerat- ed to a speed corresponding to that of the running web and where a portion of the outermost roll layer of said replacement roll is pasted to the running web, the end tab of the replacement roll being maintained during the- acceleration on the replacement roll by means of an adhe- sive element.
- the replacement roll In the industrial manufacture of packaging materials, the replacement roll must be manually prepared prior to splicing. This is generally done by cutting the terminal edge portion of the roll into a tab which is fixed to the roll with a number of pieces of single-adhesive tape. These tape pieces are then cut throughout a portion of their width so as to intentionally reduce the tape strength. Such cutting however requires highly experienced personnel. On the one hand, the cuts must be of such a restricted length that the terminal edge of the outermost roll layer of the replacement ro.ll will be retained by means of the tape pieces against the roll when it is acce ⁇ lerated up to a peripheral speed of rotation of about 300-500 m/min.
- the cuts should be of such an extended length that when the- automatic splicing operation commences, the terminal edge of the outermost roll layer of the replacement roll is torn loose therefrom and is entrained when pasted onto the running web.
- US-A-2,920,835 and US-A-3,006,568 disclose the use of a double-adhesive tape for splicing two paper rolls and for fixing the terminal edge of the replacement roll on the running roll.
- the pieces of single-adhesive tape making up the double-adhesive tape are spot-gummed together and can be pulled apart during the splicing ope ⁇ ration.
- the gum spots must be applied with the utmost care to ensure a correct and reproducible retaining and detaching function. Further, the gum spots entail undesired pollu ⁇ tion problems in the manufacturing process and by adher ⁇ ing to rollers downstream of the splicing site may cause web rupture.
- An object of the present invention is to provide, e.g. in the packaging industry, a simpler, safer and less costly method for manual or automatic splicing as compar ⁇ ed with conventional techniques.
- this and other objects have been achieved by a method for splicing a running web of the type described in the introduction to this speci ⁇ fication, which is characterised in that use is made of an adhesive element consisting of two adhesive surface layers facing away from each other and enclosing a cleavable intermediate layer which consists of a fibrous material and is so fixedly attached to said adhesive layers that these layers will be completely covered by the fibrous material upon cleavage.
- Fig. 1 schematically shows how the outermost roll layer of the replacement roll is attached to the roll.
- Fig. 2 illustrates a roll of packaging material pre- pared for automatic splicing.
- Fig. 3 schematically illustrates the automatic splic ⁇ ing of packaging material onto a running web.
- Fig. 4 shows the roll of Fig. 1 at the moment of splicing.
- Fig. 1 shows a replacement roll 2 where the end tab 1 of the outermost roll layer is prepared for splicing by being attached to the replacement roll 2 by means of a delaminable adhesive element 3.
- the adhesive element 3 is a laminate consisting of two self-adhesive surface layers 4 held together by a cleavable intermediate layer 5.
- the layer 5 may also be enclosed on both sides by homogeneous layers carrying the adhesive surface layers 4.
- the intermediate layer 5 is fibrous, consisting of paper.
- the homogeneous layers may be a plastic coating, or consist of e.g. foamed plastic, fabric or other material which is easily cleav ⁇ able when a tractive force is applied at the edge of the adhesive element 3.
- the intermediate layer 5 has a Z-strength, i.e.
- the intermediate layer 5 is capable of holding the two adhesive surface layers 4 together when the force directed towards or away from the layers 4 is relatively evenly distributed throughout the entire pasted surface.
- the Z-strength should be such as to permit a major force which is applied at the edge of the pasted surface to pull the adhesive layers 4 apart, whereby to cleave the intermediate layer 5 between the two adhesive surface layers 4.
- the adhesive layers 4 should be so fixedly attached to the intermediate layer 5 that when a cleavage force is applied to the intermediate layer 5, cleavage occurs approximately at the centre of the thickness of the inter ⁇ mediate layer 5, such that the two adhesive surface layers 4 will be completely covered by the fibre material of the cleaved intermediate layer 5.
- the reason for this is that the adhesive surface layers should not be exposed, which might cause problems of undesired adhesion in subsequent manufacturing steps.
- the paper fibres of the intermediate layer 5 are preferably oriented substantially parallel to the adhesive surface layers 4.
- Fig. 2 shows a roll of packaging material 2 manually prepared for automatic splicing to a running web 7.
- the terminal edge portion of the outermost roll layer has been cut into a tab 1 retained on the roll 2 by means of an adhesive element 3 disposed under the end tab 1.
- the roll is provided on its outside with a conven ⁇ tional double-adhesive tape 6. At the moment of splicing, the tape 6 should adhere to the surface of the running web 7.
- Fig. 3 shows how the replacement roll 2 described above is accelerated to a speed equal to that of the run ⁇ ning web 7.
- a transducer emits a signal to initiate splic ⁇ ing when only a small amount of web remains on the old roll 8.
- the running web 7 is passed up against the rotat- ing replacement roll 2 where it is pasted to the outer face of the replacement roll 2 by means of the conven ⁇ tional double-adhesive tape 6 (not shown in Fig. 3).
- the old roll 8 is thereafter cut off from the running web 7.
- the end tab 1 of the replacement roll 2 and hence the adhesive element 3 are then subjected to the tractive force exerted by the running web 7 at the edge of the adhesive element 3, which is then cleaved or delaminated, starting at said edge, closest to the edge of the end tab, Fig. 4, and the material of the replacement roll 2 will be entrained by the web 7 of the old roll without any risk of operational disturbance and production stoppage.
- the present invention provides a method for splicing a running web which obviates the risks inherent in conventional techniques and which yields a dependable, simple and inex ⁇ pensive splicing method.

Abstract
La présente invention décrit une méthode pour raccorder une bande (7) lors de son passage, lorsqu'on accélère la vitesse du rouleau de rechange (2) pour qu'elle égale celle de ladite bande (7). Pendant cette accélération, l'onglet terminal (1) du rouleau de rechange (2) est maintenu contre celui-ci par un élément adhésif décollable (3) placé sous ledit onglet (1). Au moment du raccordement, le rouleau de rechange (2) est ainsi collé à la bande (7) et l'onglet (1) est arraché du rouleau (2) par le décollage de l'élément adhésif (3). Ce dernier se compose de deux couches de surface auto-adhésives (4) et d'une couche intermédiaire fibreuse (3).The present invention describes a method for connecting a strip (7) during its passage, when accelerating the speed of the spare roller (2) so that it equals that of said strip (7). During this acceleration, the terminal tab (1) of the replacement roller (2) is held against the latter by a peelable adhesive element (3) placed under said tab (1). At the time of connection, the replacement roller (2) is thus glued to the strip (7) and the tab (1) is torn off from the roller (2) by the release of the adhesive element (3). The latter consists of two self-adhesive surface layers (4) and a fibrous intermediate layer (3).
