A method of attachment for a tape body which supports, on reel hubs, a tape body such as a leader tape, etc. to which a magnetic tape is connected. This attachment structure comprises a tape reel provided with a reel hub which takes cylindrical shape provided at the central portion thereof and a clamp member attached to the reel hub, and a tape body connected to the reel hub in the state where the end portion is supported by the clamp member and wound on the outer circumferential surface of the reel hub. The tape body supported by the reel hub is such that the base end portion side serving as root portion of the drawing side from the reel hub is deformed in the winding direction onto the reel hub following the outer circumferential surface of the reel hub. Deformation of the tape body is carried out by thermal deformation or pressure deformation, or thermal deformation and pressure deformation. The root portion serving as the supporting portion side onto the reel hub of the tape body is deformed following the outer circumferential surface of the reel hub, whereby the tape body is wound in the state closely in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the reel hub.

104 Ribbon loading container US977749 1992-11-16 US5364480A 1994-11-15 Paul E. Becking
The ribbon loading container and method includes an elongated housing forming an envelope and having front and rear open ends. A ribbon dam is slidingly received within the envelope of the housing and has a slot therethrough for the passage of the ribbon. The ribbon dam further includes tension clips which frictionally engage the ribbon passing through the slot and frictionally engage the sides of the housing. A drive and driven roller are rotatably disposed adjacent the open front end of the ribbon loading apparatus for introducing ribbon into the envelope. The ribbon dam is initially positioned adjacent the open end of the ribbon loading container such that it applies a back pressure to the incoming ribbon being stuffed into the envelope by the drive and driven rollers. As the envelope is filled with inked ribbon, the ribbon dam slides within the ribbon loading container until the pre-selected length of ribbon has been loaded in the container. The leader is detached and the ends of the ribbon are welded to form a continuous loop.

109 Magnetic tape winding method and apparatus US183160 1988-04-19 US4863110A 1989-09-05 Masaaki Sakaguchi; Akihisa Kita; Keisuke Wakatsuki
In a magnetic tape winding system, an end portion of a magnetic tape, which is cut after the magnetic tape is wound by a predetermined length from a magnetic tape feed roll to a first small wind-up frame, is joined with one end portion of a leader tape having the other end portion engaged with a second small wind-up frame by use of a joining tape. Immediately after the joining, the magnetic tape and the leader tape joined by the joining tape is rewound by a predetermined length around the second small wind-up frame, whereby slack of the tape between the first small wind-up frame and the second small wind-up frame is eliminated without causing the joining section of the magnetic tape with the leader tape to contact the magnetic tape surface at the outermost circumference of the magnetic tape roll wound around the first small wind-up frame.

111 Tape staking and control apparatus US787779 1985-10-15 US4617719A 1986-10-21 George M. Woodley
There is disclosed in the present application an apparatus for staking to a leader block the trailing end of a length of magnetic tape wound on a reel of a substantially closed cartridge. The leader block is sized and shaped to fit into and close an opening in the wall of the cartridge and later when the cartridge is in use to provide a means by which the tape may be grasped to be withdrawn from the cartridge. The present apparatus is mounted on a movable platform which permits its withdrawal to a retracted loading position out of the way of a cartridge loading or winding operation. In its retracted position, the apparatus is provided with a short length of rod to be used later for securing the trailing end to the block by staking the rod length with the tape end into an appropriately sized slot in the leader block. In addition to a nest for receiving a rod length in position for a future staking operation, the present apparatus includes a staking punch and devices for advancing and retracting the movable platform. There is also included in the apparatus a series of apertures connected to a vacuum source for holding the tape temporarily at a location where it is to be cut after the cartridge is fully loaded and thereafter to cooperate in controlling the tape with other instrumentalities for initiating the next winding operation.
112 Apparatus for detecting a tape splice US603667 1984-04-26 US4583669A 1986-04-22 Michael L. Sirkis
A splice detection apparatus which operates directly upon the solenoid which is conventionally used to bring the pinch roller into contact with the capstan of a recording/playback unit, eliminating the need for separate levering mechanisms, to detect changes in thickness between spliced and unspliced portions of a tape. Such differences are monitored directly at the solenoid, resulting movement of the plunger of the solenoid developing a change in voltage which is detected by appropriate electronic circuitry to develop a signal which indicates passage of the splice, and appropriately discontinues transport of the tape.

116 Method of splicing a magnetic recording tape and a leader tape US562718 1983-12-19 US4501630A 1985-02-26 Seiji Kiuchi
A feed table and a receiving table respectively having top surfaces which are flush with each other are positioned spaced from each other by a very small distance. A magnetic recording tape is fed along the top surface of the feed table toward the receiving table to extend over the top surface of the receiving table across the space between the tables, and is fixed to the top surfaces of the tables. A cutting edge is inserted into the space between the tables to cut the recording tape. A leader tape is fed along the top surface of the feed table toward the receiving table to extend over the top surface of the receiving table across the space between the tables by a predetermined length, and is fixed to the top surfaces of the tables. Then the cutting edge is inserted into the space to sever a leader tape piece having a predetermined length from the leader tape. The receiving table is moved with respect to the feed table in the lateral direction of the tapes so that the leader tape piece held on the receiving table is aligned with the part of the recording tape held on the feed table. Further the receiving table is moved in the longitudinal direction of the tapes to adjust the space between the opposed ends of the leader tape piece and the recording tape to an optimal value, and subsequently a splicing tape piece is applied to the opposed end portions of the leader tape piece and the recording tape.
