Abstract
Web preparation apparatus for use on splicers of the type employing a web positioning bar supporting the leading end of the ready web includes a series of teeth spaced along the length of the preparation bar at one face thereof and a pressing and cutting tool which cooperates with the positioning bar and projections so that when the leading end segment of a ready web is draped over the positioning bar and the tool is engaged to the bar and manipulated in association with the bar, the tool presses a web segment against the face of the bar so as to impale that segment on the teeth thereby removably securing that segment to the bar while simultaneously trimming the web along a line downstream from the impaled web segment.
