keeping the tape and cover traveling over bending rollers 160 during operation fig6 is a side view of a component tape sealing and unsealing apparatus taken along line 6 6 of fig5 illustrating the tape deforming portions this apparatus is operative to seal the cover 100 to tape 18 when the tape and cover are driven in the direction of arrow 154 as the tape runs through the apparatus the flanges at the edges of the tape run up over bending rollers 160 causing the tape flanges to bend upwardly at the same time cover 100 is fed onto the bent up flanges and through guide rollers 162 and 164 the guide rollers keep the cover in contact with the tape as the tape continues to move in the direction of arrow 154 and off of bending rollers 160 as the tape continues off of rollers 160 the tape flanges will bend back to their original configuration whereupon the hook portions 105 and 107 of the cover 100 will engage the flanges 32 and 34 respectively sealing is thereby accomplished fig7 is a sectional view of the sealing and unsealing apparatus of fig5 and fig6 taken along line 7 7 of fig5 illustrating the bending rollers and plows in fig7 it may be observed that bending rollers 160 are rotationally mounted to a frame 166 via axles 168 frame 166 may comprise a portion of the overall apparatus in which the sealing and unsealing is to be accomplished for example the feeder apparatus 108 of fig2 the upward bending of the flanges 32 and 34 of the pocket tape 18 may be observed as a function of the pinch arms 158 and bending rollers 160 the pinch arms keep the tape flanges in close engagement with the bending rollers.
