Abstract

Spring steel tapes are shaped with tape edge sections extending alongside a central tape section having a constant thickness, so that the thickness of the tape edge sections diminishes from the central section to the edges. Such tapes are combined in tape packages to form guide rails for tentering clamps, whereby a continuous contact between tentering clamp guide rollers and the guide rails is assured.
