Abstract
A splicing tape supply device is composed of a main body for supplying splicing tape to a splicing drum and a moving mechanism for moving the main body. The main body is provided with a reel on which the splicing tape is wound, and the splicing tape is unwound from the reel and supplied to the splicing drum via a peel plate. The moving mechanism consists of a pair of rails and screw feeding equipment. An angle of inclination .theta..degree. of the rails is equal to an angle of inclination of a cutting line between two web ends, and the rails are inclined in the same direction of the cutting line. When the main body is moved along the rails, the splicing tape is supplied to the splicing drum at the angle of .theta..degree.. Thereby, the web ends, which are cut at a predetermined angle of inclination, can be satisfactorily spliced together with the splicing tape.
