Claims
- 1. A tape storage device comprising:
- a tape feed mechanism;
- a film tape detachably mounted on said tape feed mechanism;
- a double sided adhesive tape detachably mounted on said tape feed mechanism;
- an exfoliative sheet disposed over one side of said double sided adhesive tape;
- said tape feed mechanism comprising:
- a first feed member comprising a first feed roller for feeding one of said tapes;
- a second feed member comprising a second feed roller adapted to be brought into and out of engagement with said first feed roller for feeding the other of said tapes to a position overlapping said one tape in accordance with an operation of said first feed member; and,
- an adjust member comprising a pair of flange portions on said second feed roller for adjusting the position of the overlapped tapes in a width direction thereof, wherein the spacing between said flange portions is substantially the same as the width of said film tape, the width of said first feed roller is less than the spacing between said pair of flange portions, less than the width of said film tape and substantially the same as the width of said double sided adhesive tape whereby said first feed roller may be brought into engagement with said second feed roller.
- 2. The tape storage device according to claim 1 wherein said first feed roller comprises a roller made of an elastic material and having a circumferential surface with a predetermined adhesive force with a surface of the one of said two tapes whereby to prevent adhesion to said one tape in case that said first feed roller is contacted with said one tape.
- 3. The tape storage according to claim 1 wherein the width of said first feed roller is further arranged to be less than a width of double-sided adhesive tape with the exfoliative sheet.
- 4. The tape storage device according to claim 1 which further comprises a regulation member, provided in a feeding path of the one of said two tapes upstream of where said one tape is overlapped with the other of said two tapes, for regulating a position of the one of said two tapes in a direction perpendicular to a direction along which the one of said two tapes is fed.
- 5. The tape storage device according to claim 4 wherein said regulation member comprises a pair of projection members spaced apart a distance substantially similar to the width of the one of said two tapes.
- 6. A tape printing device comprising:
- a film tape adapted to receive on one surface thereof printing;
- a double-sided adhesive tape with an exfoliative sheet;
- a tape feed device; and,
- a printer for printing on said film tape surface;
- a tape feed mechanism comprising:
- a tape holding case including said film tape and said double-sided adhesive tape, said tape holding case being attachably and detachably mounted on said tape feed device;
- a first feed roll member for feeding said film tape and said film and adhesive tapes when said tapes are in an overlapping condition, said first feed roller having a circumferential surface which reacts with said adhesive tape with a predetermined adhesive force whereby to prevent adhesion of said circumferential surface to said adhesive tape in the event that said first feed roller is contracted with said adhesive tape;
- an adjust member comprising a second feed roller member adapted to be brought into and out of engagement with said first feed roller member to thereby cooperate with said first feed roller member in feeding said tapes when they are in an overlapped condition and a pair of flange portions provided on said second feed roller member; wherein the width of said first feed roller is less than the width of said film tape, less than the spacing between said flanges and substantially equal to the width of said adhesive tape.
- 7. The tape printing device according to claim 6 which further comprises a pair of projection members spaced apart a distance substantially similar to the width of the one of said two tapes, the one of said two tapes being fed between said projection members before it is overlapped with the other of said two tapes.
- 8. The tape printing device according to claim 6 wherein said print member comprises a thermal head member.
- 9. The tape storage device according to claim 6 wherein the width of said feed roller member is further arranged to be less than a width of said double-sided adhesive tape with the exfoliative sheet.
