FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: proposed device to feed tape to User's machine arranged along tape feed trajectory contains inlet for first tape from side of wind-off roll and for second tape from new roll, and two connecting shafts located further on in direction of movement from inlet and at opposite sides from trajectory of feed designed for butt-joining of first and second tapes. First shaft of the two shafts forms end of bending trajectory along which second tape is bent in accumulator arranged between inlet and first shaft and designed for bending front end of second tape in direction towards device outlet synchronously with tail end of first tape. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 18 cl, 2 dwg _
