Abstract
In order to improve the probability of recovering tape remaining in a tape device without disassembling the tape device, this recovery device comprises: a connection unit that attaches one lengthwise end of a designated recovery tape member to near one lengthwise end, which is a free end, of a tape member having the other end bound to a designated binding member; a recovery unit to which the other end of the recovery tape member is fixed and that winds the recovery tape member and the attached tape member; and a release unit that separates the tape member from the binding member at the other end or near the other end after attachment.
Claims18
A recovery device comprising:
- a connection unit that attaches one end portion in a longitudinal direction of a recovery tape to a vicinity of one end portion in a longitudinal direction of a tape having another end portion being bound to a member;
- a recovery unit to which another end portion of the recovery tape is fixed, and that performs winding of the tape and the recovery tape that are attached;
- and
- a cutting unit that separates the tape from the member at the one end portion or in a vicinity of the one end portion after the attachment, wherein
- the cutting unit is included in a tape device including the member, and
- the connection unit and the recovery unit are included in a second device that can be mounted on the tape device.
A recovery system comprising:
- a recovery device;
- a tape device to which the recovery device is mountable;
- a connection unit of the recovery device that attaches one end portion in a longitudinal direction of a recovery tape to a vicinity of one end portion in a longitudinal direction of a tape having another end portion being bound to a member;
- a recovery unit of the recovery device to which another end portion of the recovery tape is fixed, and that performs winding of the tape and the recovery tape that are attached;
- and
- a cutting unit of the tape device that separates the tape from the member at the one end portion or in a vicinity of the one end portion after the attachment.
A recovery method comprising:
- attaching, via a connection unit, one end portion in a longitudinal direction of a recovery tape to a vicinity of one end portion in a longitudinal direction of a tape having another end portion being bound to a predetermined member;
- performing, via a recovery unit, winding of the tape and the recovery tape that are attached, another end portion of the recovery tape being fixed;
- and
- separating, via a cutting unit, the tape from the member at the one end portion or in a vicinity of the one end portion after the attachment, wherein
- the cutting unit is included in a tape device including the member, and
- the connection unit and the recovery unit are included in a second device that can be mounted on the tape device.
