ABSTRACT:
A spring loaded tape transversal tension control device is provided to equalize tape tension across the transverse cross-section of a tape to provide a more stable tension throughout the tape such that a reduction in maximum tape tension can be achieved. The device includes a central spring and an outer spring for rotationally balancing tape tension by pivoting the device under spring force to press onto, or retract from portions of the tape.
