Abstract

An adhesive tape cutting device rotatably supporting an adhesive tape roll, which is adapted to adhere an adhesive tape of a desired length on a surface of an object, and is capable of reliably and repeatedly delivering the next tip of the tape from the adhesive tape roll for the next adhesion operation. The device comprises a lever movably mounted on the base member; a pressing surface portion, which is formed on a bottom portion of the lever for pressing the upper surface of the adhesive tape at the time of adhering the tape; an arm member provided on a portion of the lever for temporarily fixing a delivered portion of the tape on a temporary fixing member mounted on the base member; and a blade mounted on the lever for cutting a free end portion of the tape. It is possible to perform operations of adhering and cutting by simply displacing the lever relative to a guiding edge formed on the bottom of the base member.

Claims8

Dependent claims

An adhesive tape cutting device, comprising:

a housing having an outlet;
support means mounted inside the housing for supporting an adhesive tape roll such that the tape can be unrolled and dispensed through the outlet;
guiding means for guiding unrolled tape through the outlet;
holding means disposed within the housing for temporarily holding a portion of the unrolled tape;
pressing and cutting means movably connected to the housing, the pressing and cutting means having a blade and being moveable between a standby position in which the pressing and cutting means is out of contact with the unrolled tape;
a pressing position in which the pressing and cutting means presses the unrolled tape which has been dispensed through the outlet against a surface to which the unrolled tape is applied;
an affixing position in which the pressing and cutting means affixes a portion of the unrolled tape to the holding means;
and a cutting position in which the blade cuts the unrolled tape at a point between the holding means and the surface to which the unrolled tape is applied.
