Device for automatically transferring an adhesive tape to an article

Abstract

This invention pertains to a device for automatically transferring an adhesive tape to an article. The device comprises a casing and a roll support shaft provided on the casing and on which a transferring adhesive tape roll is mounted, the tape roll including a rolled adhesive film having pressure sensitive adhesive substance on one face thereof and a rolled removable spacer tape disposed between the adjacent turns of the adhesive film. The lower adhesive face of the transferring adhesive tape roll is so arranged as to protrude out of a lower opening of the casing. An outlet for the spacer tape is provided in the casing at the top thereof. A resilient tape roll urging piece is supported on the casing to be urged against the transferring adhesive tape roll in the course of being fed toward the outlet. The transferring adhesive tape roll is rollingly forced against the article so that the adhesive film is transferred to the article while the removable spacer tape is separated from the adhesive film and fed through the outlet.
