Abstract
The leader of a fresh flexible web of paper or the like is spliced to the trailing end of an expiring web by a row of uniting bands having coats of adhesive at both sides. Successive uniting bands of the row are peeled off a flexible carrier strip while being attached to one side of the leader. The expiring web is thereupon arrested and its trailing end is pressed against the uniting bands which already adhere to the leader of the fresh web. The peeling of uniting bands off the carrier strip takes place between a supply reel which stores convolutions of the carrier strip with a file of uniting bands on it, and a takeup reel for that portion of the carrier strip has been relieved of uniting bands. The number of uniting bands in a row depends upon the width of the fresh web and/or the expiring web. A carriage is movable back and forth transversely of the leader of the fresh web and carries an idler roller serving to peel a selected number of uniting bands off the carrier strip between the two reels.
