(57) Device for keeping constant the tension of a covering tape in machines for continuously covering cables or the like which includes a flexible funnel-shaped element in which a cable (wire or cord or the like) under tension is caused to slide and in which a covering tape is also conveyed, the covering tape wrapping around the cable in a cigarette-like fashion. The device comprises a friction element (15) which acts against a freely rotating feeder support (7) on which the tape is wound. The friction disk is coupled to a helical guide (18) which is coaxial thereto and to elastic pusher means (20).
