Abstract

See full text

An audio tape cassette winder (10) is disclosed which includes a splicer (30) which winds splicing tape ('T') onto a cassette ('C'). Tape ('T') is applied by means of a square applicator wheel 85 which simultaneously translates and rotates into and out of tape applying contact with two tape ends ('L' and 'A') to be spliced. Application of tape ('T') to tapes to be spliced ('L' and 'A') is assisted by positive air pressure through ports (106a-d) on respective tape carrying surfaces (85a-d) as each tape carrying surface successively applies tape ('T') to the tapes to be spliced ('A' and 'L'). The positive air pressure is applied only for a very short period of time concurrent with physical impact of successive tape carrying surfaces (85a-d) with the tapes to be spliced ('A' and 'L'). The invention proceeds substantially as described above with reference to the apparatus.
