ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for removing a portion of tape from a lined tape is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a carriage with an anvil, a tape advancer for advancing lined tape along the carriage to position and end portion of the tape adjacent to a working surface of the anvil, a rotatable cutter positioned adjacent to the anvil and an actuator for causing relative movement between the anvil and the cutter so that an end portion of the tape lays down on the anvil and an end portion of the tape is sheared from the lined tape, leaving the adjacent end portion of the liner intact. The apparatus may include a tape cutter and actuators for cutting the tabbed tape while it is applied to a part. A method for producing a lined tape with an integral liner release tab is also disclosed. Lined tape is supplied to a carriage including an anvil and a tape advancer which advances the tape so that an end portion extends over a working surface of the anvil. Relative movement is effected between a cutter and the anvil so that the tape lays down on the anvil, liner side down and so that the cutter shears an end portion of the tape from the lined tape, leaving a release tab consisting of the liner. The method may include the step of applying an end of the tape to a tape receiving portion of a part and cutting the tabbed tape to a desired length.
