Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain a winding phenomenon of a tape around a feeding roller without giving space by providing a guide upside and downside of the tape in parallel with a tape feeding direction, and providing a feeding mechanism so as to cross over the guide. SOLUTION: A guide 1 is provided upside and downside of a tape 3 in parallel with the feeding direction of the tape 3, and spaced far enough not to abut to the tape 3. Size of a guide 1 is preferably a length so that the tape 3 is guided to a position where the tape can be certainly sandwiched with a feeding mechanism and the tape 3 accurately reaches the next feeding mechanism. Shape of the guide 1 is preferably a shape so that a portion facing the tape 3 at the end on the opposite side of the tape 3 feeding direction of the guide 1 gradually approaches to the tape 3 from the tip. As the feeding mechanisms provided so as to cross over this guide 1, a feeding roll 2 comprising a roll 22 mounted to a rotation shaft 21 and a slit 23 provided at a place crossing over the guide 1 is provided so as to rotate with sandwiching the tape 3 from upside and downside of the tape 3.
