Abstract
The web splicing apparatus for connecting a running web extending and traveling between a supply of web material and a web using machine to the end portion of a new supply of web material comprises a frame to which is secured and supported a splicing device. The splicing device has web clamps and cutting members and functions to connect the severed end portion of a running web to the end portion of a new web. Two sets of slide shoes are secured to the frame to engage a pair of rails so that the frame is reciprocatively supported for movement in the direction of travel of a running web, when the splicing device is operative to effect a splice, to thereby supply web to the web using machine and moves in a direction counter to the direction of travel of the running web after the splicing is completed.
