Abstract
An improved pressure pad attached to a plunger mechanism of a splicer utilized on an automatic cassette tape loading machine. The pad has a multiplicity of intersecting slots in its bottom surface and at least one aperture penetrating its thickness. The aperture is connected to a vacuum passageway so as to provide communication between the slots and a vacuum source. The slots provide even distribution of a suction force to the splicing tape as it is applied to the tapes to be spliced.
