Abstract:
Apparatus and a method are provided for guiding the seam allowance of a seamed joint of a fabric into alignment longitudinally with a seam sealing tape applied to the seamed joint within a consolidation nip, all to effect a leakproof seal of the joint. The apparatus includes guide means positioned proximate the consolidation nip, adjacent the entrance thereof, the guide means having an opening therein to and through which the seam allowance is passed. The opening is of a size sufficient to accept and guide the seam allowance passing therethrough. The opening is preferably a slot, the open end of the slot being positioned adjacent the seamed joint and aligned with the tape as the tape and joint pass to and through the consolidation nip. The guide means optionally includes co-acting shock absorbers. On passage of the seamed joint and seam sealing tape through the consolidation nip, and being consolidated thereat, a sealed, seamed joint is provided such that the joint seam is aligned longitudinally along the tape. The preferred guide slot extends from its open end oriented at an angle upwardly from the plane of the fabric. Any suitable sealing tape may be employed.
