Abstract
In order to use a length of tape having no liner on its rear side, a hand labeler includes a tape-feeding mechanism having a rotary drum for making the length of tape advance a predetermined length; and a tape peeling-off mechanism for forcedly unrolling the tape roll against its adhesive power. The peeling-off mechanism is placed between the tape holder section and the rotary drum of the tape-feeding mechanism, and it comprises a peeling-off drum ganged with the rotary drum of the tape-feeding mechanism and a tape-feeding roll or rolls freely rotatable to cooperate with the circumference of the peeling-off drum for gripping the length of tape.

A hand labeler comprising:
- a seal printing mechanism operatively connected to a handle of the labeler for printing a length of tape via a link mechanism, which can be put in operation by squeezing the handle of the labeler;
- a tape-feeding mechanism having a rotary drum for making the length of tape advance a predetermined length;
- and a cutting mechanism responsive to the return of the handle to its release position for cutting the length of tape, characterized in that it further comprises a tape peeling-off mechanism for forcedly feeding the length of tape against its adhesive power, which mechanism is placed between the tape holder section and the rotary drum of the tape-feeding mechanism, and comprises a peeling-off drum ganged with the rotary drum and a tape-feeding roll or rolls freely rotatable to cooperate with the circumference of the peeling-off drum for gripping the length of tape.
