Abstract
A tape splicing apparatus (30) is disclosed of the type wherein splicing tape ('T') is applied to a splicing tape applicator wheel (85) having planar, tape carrying surfaces (85a-d). The applicator wheel (85) moves to and from two tape ends ('A' and 'L') to be spliced whereby a tape carrying surface (85a) contacts the two tape ends ('A' and 'L') and applies the splicing tape ('T') thereto. The improvement disclosed maintains the splicing tape ('T') in lateral and longitudinal alignment with each tape carrying surface (85a-d). The applicator wheel (85) is mounted between two spaced-apart walls of a splice block (51) define first and second supports which lie flush with and overlap the tape carrying surfaces (85a-d) of applicator wheel (85) on both its axial sides.
