ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for winding magnetic tape is provided with a splicing means that greatly improves splicing tape transfer and application reliability. The apparatus comprises retainers for holding leader and magnetic tapes, a cutter for cutting leader and magnetic tapes, a splicing means, and a hub rotating means. The splicing means is provided with a splicing tape feed assembly which feeds splicing tape by the back and forth motion of a feed block which overlaps with an adjacent coplanar retaining block. The feed block and retaining block alternately attach to opposite sides of the splicing tape's nonadhesive surface to reliably advance splicing tape to an applicator block in a linear fashion without tape curl or droop. The applicator block is transported close to the tape cassette to accomplish splicing without superfluous tape extraction.
