Abstract
A tape application apparatus comprises a pair of first guide rollers provided on a main frame, biasing means for biasing a sub-frame mounted movably on the main frame to the side of the first guide rollers, a pair of second guide rollers mounted on the sub-frame so as to face the first guide rollers for holding the frame movably along a tape application plane incorporation with the first guide rollers, a pressure roller mounted on the main frame in the state where an adhesive tape is wound and is pressed against the tape application plane, a tape guide plate in which a base end thereof is mounted rotatably on the main frame, and tape guide plate holding means for holding the tape guide plate so as to form a gap for guiding an adhesive tape with release liner incorporation with the pressure roller.
Claims14
A tape application apparatus mounted removably on a work for applying an adhesive tape peeled off from release liner to a tape application surface formed on the work, the apparatus comprising:
- a main frame;
- a pair of first guide rollers mounted rotatably around an axis in parallel to a first direction with respect to the main frame;
- a sub-frame mounted movably with respect to said main frame along a second direction in perpendicular to a plane involving an axis of the first guide roller;
- biasing means for biasing the sub-frame to one side of said first guide rollers;
- a pair of second guide rollers mounted rotatably around the axis in parallel to the first direction with respect to said sub-frame so as to face said first guide rollers for movably holding said main frame and said sub-frame along the tape application surface;
- a pressure roller mounted rotatably on said main frame around an axis in parallel to the second direction, and being rotatable in the state where the adhesive tape is wound therearound and pressed against the tape application surface;
- a tape guide plate with a base end mounted rotatably with respect to said main frame around an axis in perpendicular to the first direction;
- and
- tape guide plate holding means capable of holding a rotating position of said tape guide plate with respect to said main frame such that a gap is formed for guiding the adhesive tape with release liner with said tape guide plate and said pressure roller.
