  • Such actuating means 121a, 121b or 122a, 122b of the clearance means 12a or 12b of each cutting and connecting assembly 1a or 1b may comprise an actuator 122a or 122b, for example of the hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder type, the rod terminates with a contact piece and thrust 121a or 121b coming into contact with the upstream side of said plate so as to carry a thrust downstream of the latter at the exit of the rod.
  • the contact piece 121a or 121b does not necessarily need to be attached to the articulating drive plate 120a or 120b or hinged thereto. Indeed, in a vertical orientation of the cutting plane and connection P retraction of the rod will naturally result in the effect of gravity a downward movement of the plate to its rest position.
  • the present invention may provide for attaching or articulating the rod to said plate or may provide a means of reminder to automatically bring back under the effect of the restoring force the plate towards its rest position when the rod is retracted ( figures 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 ).
  • the unrolling machine comprises a cutting and connecting device and two reel-carrying elements each able to carry a reel 3a able to unroll a first web 2a providing the belt feed of the machine or a suitable reel 3b unrolling a second band 2b forming a replacement band.
  • the cutting and connecting device consists of a cutting and connecting device according to the present invention.
  • such unwinding machine may further comprise a tape accumulator located downstream of the cutting and connecting device and being able to be filled with a given length of first tape 2a, before stopping. and immobilizing the latter in the cutting and connecting device, and ensuring the continuity of the downstream power supply during connection and immobilization of the first band 2a in said device.
  • Such a tape accumulator which cap the connection assemblies, for example by a bridge structure, or being located downstream thereof, will be filled before stopping and immobilization of the first band 2a upstream of the accumulator, for example of the type described in the document FR 2 930 534 , makes it possible to ensure the continuity of the power supply during the connection which stops the unwinding of the first band 2a supplying the machine.
  • Each reel holder may be located on one side or the other of the cutting and connecting plane P as is the case in the accompanying figures or on the same side as the other reel holder, with rollers of referred to on both sides of the plan.
