Rolls of Tape and Method for Forming Such Rolls

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for forming a roll of tape, wherein an amount to be wound is predetermined and is wound into a roll, wherein the predetermined amount is defined by square meters and to a method of distributing tape, wherein tape is wound into rolls defined by a predetermined number of square meters, such that each roll comprises the same amount of tape. Furthermore a series of rolls of similar or identical tape is disclosed, all comprising the same amount of tape but some having different widths.

1 . A method for forming a roll of tape, wherein an amount to be wound is predetermined and is wound into a roll, wherein the predetermined amount is defined by square meters. 
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein a number of square meters is predetermined and cut from a larger roll or sheet in a predetermined width and wound into a roll. 
     
     
         3 . The method for forming a series of rolls of tape according to  claim 1 , wherein a series of rolls is formed by winding similar or identical tape into rolls, a number of the rolls having different widths of tape and all of the rolls are wound of the same number of square meters. 
     
     
         4 . The method for forming a series of rolls of tape according to  claim 1 , wherein a sheet of tape having a relatively large width is wound into a roll, where after said roll is cut into a series of rolls having the same widths, smaller than the width of the relatively wider roll. 
     
     
         5 . A method for forming a series of rolls of tape, said tape being wound on one or more cores. 
     
     
         6 . A series of rolls of tape, wherein each of the rolls comprise the same number of square meters of tape and wherein at least two of the rolls in the series of roll have different widths. 
     
     
         7 . A series of rolls of tape, wherein each of the rolls comprise a predetermined number of square meters of tape and wherein at least two of the rolls in the series of roll have different widths, wherein for each roll the predetermined number of square meters is defined by M multiplied by S, wherein M is an integer and S is chosen from 0.25, 0.33, 0.5 and 1. 
     
     
         8 . A method of distributing tape, wherein tape is wound into rolls defined by a predetermined number of square meters, such that each roll comprises the same amount of tape and are sold at the same price. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 4 , wherein a series of said sheet is rolled into a master roll, wherein a number of master rolls is formed from said sheet or sheets of substantially identical tape, where after the different master rolls are cut into rolls of tape, all rolls formed from one master batch having the same width, different from rolls cut from at least one of the other master rolls, wherein all of the rolls cut from the master rolls comprise the same square meters of tape. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein sheets of tape are wound into master rolls, where after tape from the master rolls is unwound, cut and rewound into rolls having all the same square meters of tape, at least a number of the rolls having different widths. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein sheets of tape are wound into master rolls, where after tape from the master rolls is unwound, cut and rewound into rolls having all the same square meters of tape, at least a number of the rolls having different widths. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein sheets of tape are wound into master rolls, where after tape from the master rolls is unwound, cut and rewound into rolls having all the same square meters of tape, at least a number of the rolls having different widths. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein all rolls formed in a series are formed from substantially the same tape. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein all rolls formed in a series are formed from substantially the same tape. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein all rolls formed in a series are formed from substantially the same tape. 
     
     
         16 . The series of rolls according to  claim 6 , wherein the rolls in a series comprise substantially the same tape. 
     
     
         17 . The series of rolls according to  claim 7 , wherein the rolls in a series comprise substantially the same tape. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the rolls in a series comprise substantially the same tape.
