Pancake of media in strip or tape form and method of making the pancake, the pancake including a hub onto which the media is wound until an outer wound layer is formed on the pancake, and a sealing element attached to the outer wound layer of the pancake such that a free end of the outer wound layer of the pancake is formed in a region beneath the sealing element. The process provides for winding the media onto a hub and attaching a sealing element to an outer layer of the media, wherein the sealing element is attached to the outer wound layer of the pancake such that a free end of the outer wound layer of the pancake is formed in a region beneath the sealing element.

A yarn dye tube includes end portions having male and female elements for aligned stacking of multiple tubes. The female end portion includes a cylindrical ring having non-perforating recesses defining reduced wall portions having a thickness of at least one-half of a wall thickness of ring. Each recess also includes arcuate ends for reducing stress concentrations. The diameter of the inner surface of the female element is greater than that of the inner surface of the ring defining an annular distance therebetween. A radially extending shoulder at the terminal end of the ring contacts the male element of an adjacent tube in a stack of aligned tubes. A fillet at the terminal end of the first end portion ring extends over a substantial portion of the annular distance for reducing stress concentrations.

A method for unwinding tacky elastomeric yarn from one or multiple coiled yarn packages includes the steps of (a) removing tubular cores from each yarn package to expose the beginning end of the yarn strand at the inner diameter of the yarn package; (b) forming a terminal end of the yarn strand at a position along the length of the strand between the inner diameter and outer diameter of the yarn package; (c) when unwinding multiple coiled yarn packages, attaching the terminal end of the first yarn package to a beginning end of a next yarn package; and (d) unwinding by pulling the beginning end of the first yarn package in a generally axial direction to remove yarn from the inside of the package from the inner diameter toward the outer diameter. This method provides inside-out unwinding of a single package, or continuous unwinding of multiple packages of elastomeric yarn at a reduced overall yarn tension, and minimizes unwinding tension spikes.

The invention relates to a splice between two ends of yarn, the ends of yarn, positioned to point at each other without increase in diameter, each being joined over a length of yarn to at least one longitudinal strip. The longitudinal strip is provided on its side facing the ends of yarn with a joining agent, said joining agent permanently binding the ends of yarn over the respective length of yarn to the longitudinal strip in frictional non-positive manner.
