          Appeal No. 1998-1825                                                        
          Application No. 08/658,014                                                  


               (1) a support means for receiving a reel of the teartape               
          so                                                                          
               that the reel can rotate as tape is drawn from the                     
          reel                                                                        
               by said moving packaging material,                                     
               (2) a guide means defining a tape path from the reel to                
          said           location,                                                    
               (3) a brake means for reducing the speed of rotation of                
          the                                                                         
          reel in dependence on a reduction in tension of the                         
          teartape passing along said path, and                                       
               (4) a drive motor for the reel for increasing the speed                
          of           rotation of the reel in dependence on an increase              
          in           tension of the tape passing along said path.                   





















                                         A-1
