(54) Apparatus for cutting and placing self-adhesive tape


(57) Apparatus for cutting and for simultaneously placing two lengths of tape onto an object, like a sealing tape and a teartape on a flap of an envelope. To that end the object is guided between a transfer roll and a feed belt, with the transfer roll feeding a piece of sealing tape and a piece of teartape towards the object. The pieces of tape are cut off by two supply rolls and two knife rolls, as soon as an object approaches the transfer roll. For that purpose a sensor is mounted near the feed belt, which steers two individual servomotors for the supply rolls and two individual motors for the knife rolls.
