"Method of sticking adhesive tape 3 using clip 1"
A method for attaching the adhesive tape 3 to the cardboard box 5 using the clip 1 is as follows, as shown in FIG.
(1) As shown in FIG. 3 (A), first, the clip 27 is temporarily fixed to the cardboard box 5 by aligning the mark 27 of the clip 1 at the position where the adhesive tape 3 starts to be applied and inserting the tooth row 25. .
That is, when sticking the adhesive tape 3 so as to be directly above the joint 33 of the two lids 31 located on the upper surface of the cardboard box 5, the straight line 35 constituting the joint is extended to the side surface. A straight line 39 that is a mark is made to coincide with the virtual straight line 37. As a result, the tooth row 25 is inserted into the side surface of the cardboard box 5 at a right angle to the virtual straight line 37. At this time, one clamping plate 7 provided with the tooth row 25 is positioned on the lower side, that is, on the inner side in contact with the cardboard box 5. The other sandwiching plate 7 provided with the mark 27 is positioned on the upper side, that is, on the outer side not in contact with the cardboard box 5. In this way, the clip 1 is temporarily fixed.

(2) Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, a necessary amount is unwound a little from the wound adhesive tape 41. Then, the temporarily clipped clip 1 is opened and closed, and the end portion 43 of the unwound adhesive tape is clamped. By this clamping, the adhesive tape 3 sticks to the clip 1 due to its adhesiveness. At this time, the tooth row 25 remains stabbed.
(3) As shown in FIG. 3C, the unwound adhesive tape 3 is pressed and pasted directly above the joint 33 of the two lids 31. Further, the adhesive tape 3 is unwound and pasted to the required length. At this time, since the clip 1 is sandwiched between the end portions 43 of the adhesive tape, the operator can use both hands for the operation of attaching the adhesive tape 3.

(4) As shown in FIG. 3D, the tooth row 25 is pulled out from the side surface of the cardboard box 5, and the clip 1 is removed from the cardboard box 5. Then, the end portion of the adhesive tape 3 that has been pasted is cut using the tooth row 25 of the clip 1. When cutting, the clip 1 may remain closed.
(5) As shown in FIG. 2, after cutting, the adhesive tape 3 and the clip 1 are stored in a storage place with the end of the wound adhesive tape 41 held between the clips 1. .
"Effect of the embodiment"
According to the above embodiment, the mark 27 of the clip 1 is aligned at the position where the adhesive tape 3 starts to be applied, the tooth row 25 is stabbed, the clip 1 is temporarily fixed to the cardboard box 5, and the clip 1 is opened and closed. By sandwiching the end portion 43 of the sticking adhesive tape and sticking the sticking tape 3, the clip 1 can be accurately matched to the position where the sticking is started, and therefore the sticking tape 3 can be precisely matched.

Moreover, since the clip 1 is holding the end part 43 of the adhesive tape at the beginning of application, when the adhesive tape 3 is applied, the operator can use it for the operation of attaching both hands. This is because it is not necessary to use one hand in order to have the end portion 43 of the adhesive tape at the beginning of application, as in the past.
From these things, the adhesive tape 3 can be affixed to the cardboard box 5 as intended. The adhesive tape 3 will not be removed from the target. This effect is particularly great when the adhesive tape 3 is a non-transparent tape such as a gum tape and the joint 33 of the two lids 31 is not visible.

  In addition, since the clip 43 is sandwiched between the end portions 43 of the adhesive tape at the beginning of the application, the end portions 43 of the adhesive tape that have been held by hand as in the past are kinked or broken and partially stuck together. Will not be lost. Furthermore, the adhesive material of the adhesive tape 3 becomes difficult to get on the hand. People with long nails and manicure nails can also easily apply the adhesive tape 3.

Further, since the tooth row 25 can be used to cut the adhesive tape 3, it is not necessary to use another cutter.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the end portion 43 of the wound adhesive tape 41 is sandwiched between the clips 1 at the time of storage, the flat end rear edge 29 of the clip 1 is supported and wound. In the state where the adhesive tape 41 is upright, it can be stabilized without rolling. Further, when the adhesive tape 3 is used, there is no need to search for the clip 1 or the cutter again.

"Other embodiments"
In the above embodiment, the adhesive tape 3 has been described as an example in which the adhesive tape 3 is pasted so as to be directly above the joint 33 of the two lids 31 positioned on the upper surface of the cardboard box 5. Then, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the present invention can be implemented even when the adhesive tape 3 is pasted on the top corner 45 of the cardboard box 5.

  That is, the straight line 39 which is a mark is made to correspond to the side corner part which extended the straight line which comprises the upper surface corner | angular part 45 of the cardboard box 5 to the side surface. Thereby, the dentition 25 is stabbed into the side surface of the cardboard box 5 at right angles to the straight lines that form the side corners. Half of the tooth row 25 jumps out of the cardboard box 5 and only the remaining half is stabbed, but it is still temporarily secured.

  In another embodiment, if a magnet is attached to the sandwiching plate 7 of the clip 1, it can be held by being attracted to a refrigerator door or the like.

  In the above embodiment, the tooth row 25 of the clip 1 is stabbed at the position where the adhesive tape 3 starts to be pasted, and the clip 1 is temporarily fixed to the cardboard box 5. However, in other embodiments, for example, FIG. As shown, a needle-like protrusion 47 can be provided at the center of the clamping plate 7 on which the tooth row 25 is provided in order to reinforce the temporary fixing force by the tooth row 25. A strong temporary fixing force can be obtained by inserting not only the tooth row 25 but also the protrusion 47 into the cardboard box 5.

In the above embodiment, in order to temporarily fix the clip 1 at the position where the adhesive tape 3 starts to be applied, the tooth row 25 provided in the clip 1 is inserted into the cardboard box 5, but in other embodiments, In addition to such a temporary fixing method, other temporary fixing methods can be used in combination.
That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when sticking the adhesive tape 3 to the joint 33 of the two lids 31 of the cardboard box 5, the two lids 31 are sandwiched between the clips 1, whereby the cardboard box 5 The clip 1 can be temporarily fixed. Then, the unrolled end portion 43 of the adhesive tape 3 is temporarily not attached to the clip 1 but temporarily attached to the holding plate 7 of the clip 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 (A) and 6 (B), the clip 1 used in the embodiment of FIG. 6 has a large number of fine convex portions formed on both outer surfaces of the two sandwiching plates 7 as a whole. There are fine irregularities 49. The unevenness 49 weakens the adhesive force of the adhesive tape 3 and facilitates the operation of temporarily attaching or peeling the adhesive tape 3. A mark 27 (39) is provided on both outer surfaces of the two sandwiching plates 7.

  The embodiment of FIG. 6 will be described in detail. This embodiment is used for attaching the adhesive tape 3 to the joint 33 of the two lids 31 of the cardboard box 5 as shown in FIGS.

That is, first, as shown in FIG. 2C, the marks 27 (39) of the clip 1 are aligned with the ends of the joints 33 of the two lids 31 of the cardboard, and the two clips are used by the clip 1 in that state. The lid 31 is sandwiched. Thereby, the clip 1 is temporarily fixed to the cardboard box 5.
And as shown to the figure (D), the unwinding edge part 43 of the wound-out adhesive tape 3 is temporarily stuck on the upper outer surface in which the unevenness | corrugation 49 of the clip 1 temporarily fixed was formed. Next, the unwound adhesive tape 3 is attached to the joint 33 of the two lids 31. The wound adhesive tape 41 which is the remaining part of the attached adhesive tape 3 is left as it is.

  Then, although not shown, the unwinding end portion 43 of the adhesive tape 3 is peeled off from the clip 1. At this time, the adhesive force of the adhesive tape 3 is weakened by the action of the unevenness 49 of the clip 1, and the adhesive tape 3 can be easily peeled off. The clip 1 released from the adhesive tape 3 in this way is removed from the two lids 31 of the cardboard box 5. Further, the end portion 43 of the peeled adhesive tape 3 is stuck on the cardboard box 5 as it is. Further, the terminal portion of the adhesive tape 3 that has been pasted is cut with the tooth row 25 of the clip 1 that has been removed, and is separated from the remaining portion of the adhesive tape 3.

  In this way, in order to temporarily fix the clip 1, in addition to the method of inserting the tooth row 25 provided on the clip 1 into the cardboard, other temporary fixing methods that do not damage the cardboard box 5 can be used together. This is useful when sticking adhesive tape to cardboard for shipping products.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 6 described above, the unevenness 49 and the mark 27 (39) are formed on both outer surfaces of the two sandwiching plates 7 of the clip 1, but in other embodiments, The unevenness 49 and the mark 27 (39) may be formed only on one outer surface of the two sandwiching plates 7 of the clip 1. In this case, when the clip 1 is temporarily fixed, the outer surface of the clip 1 on which the irregularities 49 are formed faces upward, and the mark 27 (39) of the clip 1 is attached to the end of the joint 33 of the two lids 31. And the two lids 31 are sandwiched.
