Laminating tape and to-be-laminated tape, as well as method and device for laminating the laminating tape to the to-be-laminated tape

A method of laminating a laminating tape having an adhesive layer to a to-be-laminated tape having a substantially identical width to a width of said laminating tape, said to-be-laminated tape having a preliminary to-be-laminated portion formed at a leading end thereof, for being preliminarily laminated to a leading end of said laminating tape, and an adhesion-refusing portion having a predetermined length and extending continuously from a trailing end of said preliminary to-be-laminated portion, for permitting lateral motion of said to-be-laminated tape with respect to said laminating tape,

• the method comprising the steps of:
• placing said leading end of said laminating tape and said leading end of said to-be-laminated tape on upon another;
• affixing said leading end of said laminating tape to said preliminary to-be-laminated portion of said to-be-laminated tape;
• and
• thereafter simultaneously feeding said laminating tape and said to-be-laminated tape to pressure contact means that brings said laminating tape and said to-be-laminated tape into contact under pressure while controlling a lateral position of said laminating tape and a lateral position of said to-be-laminated tape, at least until said adhesion-refusing portion of said to-be-laminated tape has passed through said pressure contact means, to thereby cause said laminating tape to be accurately laminated to a portion of said to-be-laminated tape immediately following said adhesion-refusing portion thereof.
