Method for producing a strip-shaped object

A device for forming a tape-shaped object having a desired length, width and thickness comprising:

• (a) means for feeding a film web in a feed direction;
• (b) means for applying adhesive strips to at least one surface of the film web in a direction which is transverse top the feed direction, wherein the adhesive strips are spaced apart from each other;
• (c) means for dividing the web in the feed direction into a plurality of film strip webs of substantially equal width;
• (d) means for stacking the plurality of film strip webs one on top of another wherein the adhesive strip on one of the film strip webs is offset from the adhesive strip on an adjacent, stacked film strip web;
• (e) means for cutting the stacked plurality of film strip webs into a desired length to form a film strip pack;
• and
• (f) means for stacking and gluing a plurality of film strip packs together to form the object of desired length, width and thickness, wherein braking elements to inhibit the forward movement of the film strip pack are arranged after the means for stacking and gluing to increase the pressure acting on the film strips in the film strip pack in the direction of stacking.

• and
• (g) further comprising a first cutting station to divide the film web into the plurality of strip webs of equal width, a turning station to turn and bring on top of one another the individual film strip webs with adhesive strips offset from one another, a second cutting station for cutting the stacked plurality of film strip webs, handling elements for the transport of the film strip packs, a pull-out element on which to lay the individual film strip packs, a stacking module with a gap to take the film strip packs by way of the pull-out element and two limiting elements which may be inserted from both sides into the gap in the stacking module to generate pressure (p) on the film strip pack in the gap.
