ABSTRACT:
This rotational tape accumulator wraps slack tape in spirals during times that the tape is being fed to a machine for making cable or other continuous product. When the trailing end of a tape must be stopped to splice on a new length, the accumulated tape is unwound from the accumulator to maintain a continuous supply. This invention forms two reels of tape spirally wound from the same length of tape with each additional layer supplied to the inside of the reel during accumulation. This arrangement stores long lengths of tape with equipment that is more compact than other forms of tape accumulators.
