Device for applying an adhesive to a longitudinal product

A device (100) for applying an adhesive (1) to a longitudinal product (4), said device comprises:

• a body (6) comprising a guide member (8);
• wherein said guide member (8) comprises a channel (10) for receiving and guiding said longitudinal product in relation to said guide member, said channel (10) is having a first end (12) and a second end (14);
• wherein said guide member (8) comprises a tape slot (16) for guiding an adhesive tape (2) into said channel (10);
• wherein said channel (10) comprises a guide surface (18);
• and wherein said tape slot (16) extends through at least part of the material of said guide member (8) and into said guide surface (18) of said channel (10), thereby allowing feeding said adhesive tape (2) through the material of said guide member (8) and into said channel (10) of said guide member (8);
• wherein said tape slot (16) is an open tape slot, extending into the channel (10) in a direction which is essentially perpendicular to an extension of the channel, wherein said tape slot is configured such that said adhesive tape can be inserted sideways into said channel (10) along the extension of said tape slot (16);
• wherein said guide member (8) comprises a first guide member part (24) and a second guide member part (26);
• and
• wherein said guide member (8) is being divided into said first guide member part (24) and said second guide member part (26) which are separate and can be taken apart at an interface (33), said interface arranged along said channel (10), thereby intersecting said channel (10) along a longitudinal direction thereof.
