Abstract
A multi-segment roll package comprises a continuous length of plastic tape [117] wound about a core [105] resulting in a center spooled roll segment [109] sandwiched between two end spooled portions [400A, 400B]. In one embodiment, the end spooled portions comprise a helical pitch [403] less than the pitch [211] of the center spooled segment. In a second embodiment, the end spooled portion [400B] comprises a helical pitch [407} greater than the pitch of the center spooled segment and comprises more layers with a reversed helical pitch than the center spooled roll segment.
Claims9
A spooled roll package of plastic tape comprising:
- a first spooled portion comprising layers of said plastic tape wrapped in layers comprising a first spooled helical pitch;
- and
- a second spooled portion comprising a second spooled portion width greater than a width of said plastic tape and comprising a second spooled helical pitch less than said first spooled helical pitch.
A spooled roll package of plastic tape comprising:
- a first spooled portion comprising layers of said plastic tape wrapped in layers comprising a first spooled helical pitch greater than zero;
- and
- a second spooled portion comprising a second spooled portion width greater than a width of said plastic tape and comprising a second spooled helical pitch at least equal to said first spooled helical pitch;
- wherein said second spooled portion comprises at least two pitch reversals between successive layers of said first spooled portion.
