Here, the tape attaching member 11 has a holding roller 23 for rotatably holding the tape 10, rollers 24, 25 for guiding the unfolded tape 10, and pressing rollers 26, 27. The rollers 24 and 25 and the pressing rollers 26 and 27 are rotatably supported by the arm 11a via a shaft. In addition, the entire tape attaching member is the shaft 2 on which the pressing roller 27 is rotatably supported.
8 is rotatably supported while being biased by a spring member 21 in the direction of coming into contact with the article to be packaged 20.

Further, the arm 11 of the tape attaching member 11
On the back surface of a, the guide roller 29 is pressed against the roller 26.
Is supported by a shaft 30 which is rotatably supported. The guide roller 29 is biased by the spring member 21 so as to come into contact with the cam 31. Therefore, in the tape tensioning member 11, the pressing rollers 26 and 27 are positioned substantially horizontally when contacting the horizontal portion 31a of the cam 31, but the shaft 28 when contacting the inclined portion 31b of the cam. It turns around and gradually stands up. When the cam 31 and the guide roller 29 are completely separated, the tape attaching member 11 is completely inverted and the pressing roller 27 is moved downward. Further, the tape attaching member 11 is connected to the horizontal moving mechanism 14.

The horizontal moving mechanism 14 includes two moving rails 1.
It is slidably guided in the lateral direction by 2 and 13,
It is driven by the chain 32 to drive the tape attaching member 11 in the horizontal direction. Both ends of the chain 32 are supported by sprockets 33 and 34, and the sprocket 33 is directly connected to the first drive motor 15. First
The drive motor 15 is controlled by a control mechanism (not shown) and a limit switch, and stops when it reaches the end.

The vertical moving mechanism 18 includes two moving rails 16 and 17 arranged in parallel and a second drive motor 19, and is vertically moved by the second drive motor 19 via a sprocket 37 and a chain 35. . Further, the control mechanism and the limit switch 36 (not shown) control the raising and lowering operations.

The cam 31 includes a horizontal portion 31a and an inclined portion 31b.
And the tape tensioning member 11 is arranged at the ends of the moving rails 12 and 13 that move horizontally. Also,
When the tape attaching member 11 is located at the left end as shown in FIG. 2, the pressing rollers 26 and 27 are substantially horizontal. As the tape attaching member 11 moves, the guide roller 29 comes into contact with the inclined portion 31b and gradually stands up.

Before and after the tape attaching member 11 is moved, pressing members 38 and 39 are provided, and hold down the wrapping paper 40 so that the wrapping paper 40 does not move when the tape attaching member 11 attaches the tape 10. The cutter 22 presses the tape 1 between the pressing rollers 26 and 27 when the tape-applying member 11 attaches the tape 10 to the article to be packaged and reaches the end.
Cut off 0. The tape sticking member 11 after the tape 10 is cut is lifted by the vertical moving mechanism 18 and separated from the article to be packaged. Further, the cutter 22 is fixed by a bolt via the holding arm 41.

The operation of the tape sticking device constructed as described above will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 5, the article to be packaged 20 is placed on the wrapping paper 40 in step (a). Next, in step (b), the front and rear of the wrapping paper 40 are folded. Next, in step (c), the wrapping paper 40 is folded so that the front and back thereof overlap. The tape 10 is attached to the center of the folded and overlapped portion by the tape attaching device of the present invention.

In the step of attaching the tape 10, first, the vertical moving mechanism 18 lowers the tape sticking member 11 until it comes into contact with the surface of the article 20 to be packaged. At this time, the tape adhering member 11 is located at the left end of the tape adhering device, and the pressing rollers 26 and 27 are located at the lower ends. The tip 10a of the tape 10 is attached to the roller 2
It is located between 6, 27. In this state, the tape attaching member 11 is moved in the arrow A direction by the horizontal moving mechanism 14.

The tape 10 held by the holding roller 23
Is expanded by the rollers 24 and 25, and the pressing roller 2
7 is attached to the joint of the wrapping paper 40.

When the tape attaching member 11 moves further,
A cutter 22 fixed to the right end of the tape sticking device presses the tape 10 and cuts it between the rollers 26 and 27. When the tape attaching member 11 moves further to the right, the limit switch detects this and stops the first drive motor 15.
In this way, the tape 10 is attached to the joint of the wrapping paper 40.

To prepare for the next tape attaching step, the tape attaching member 11 is moved up by the vertical moving mechanism 18 and moved to the left end of the tape attaching device by the horizontal moving mechanism 14. At this time, the tape attaching member 11 moves in the direction of arrow B along the moving rails 12 and 13 as shown in FIG. When it further moves, the guide roller 29 reaches the inclined portion 31b of the cam 31. Here, the guide roller 25
Goes up the slope of the inclined portion 31b.

In this step, the tape tension member 11 is urged by the spring member 21, so that the tape tension member 11 rotates about the shaft 28 and returns to the horizontal state as shown in FIGS. In this state, it stands by for the next attaching step. In this way, the tape sticking device of the present invention can be operated even if it is installed in the vertical surface direction of the article to be packaged 20, because the return of the tape attaching member 11 is not gravity but spring force.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a packaging device using the tape sticking device of the present invention. The object to be packaged 20 is aligned with the guide 42 and then set at the insertion position. Predetermined information is displayed on the display unit 43, and the user operates according to this display. In addition, the wrapping paper 4 is placed in the cassette 44.
Many 0s are stored and are fed one by one by a feeding mechanism (not shown). Further, when the wrapping paper 40 is manually fed, it is fed one by one from the wrapping paper insertion port 45 through the guide 46. The packaged objects 20 are sequentially sent out from the outlet 47.

The tape sticking device of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various design changes can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.
