Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automate operation for fixing a lid to improve workability and safety by feeding an adhesive tape onto a package, pressing it onto a lid surface, cutting the adhesive tape into a determined length, and pressing the cut adhesive tape around the outer peripheral face of the package. SOLUTION: A tape end 11 of an adhesive tape 11 of a tape winding member 10 is fed by tape feed rollers 2, 21 . The tape end 11 is pressed and pasted onto a lid B fitted to a package A by a tape end pressing member 4. At this time, the tape 1 is regulated to a specific length by detecting a rotation angle of the feed roller 21 by a regulating mechanism 3 comprising a counter 31 and a sensor, and cut by a cutter 6. The cut adhesive tape 1 is pressed onto an outer peripheral face of the package A by pushing a tape pressing member 7 by a cylinder 70. Then the tape pressing member 7 is lowered by a lift member 5, and the adhesive tape 1 is pasted onto the outer peripheral face of the package A. Thus fixing of the lid can be automated.
