The first adhesive roller 45 is rotated by the rotated subframe 41 to detach the tape 33 from the upper surface of the box 11.

 At this time, the cutting arm 71 installed on the rotation lever 50 moves the cutting knife 72 provided at the front end by the rotating lever 50 to move to the space between the first and second adhesive rollers 45 and 46. Is rotated. The tape 33 placed on the lower outer peripheral surface of the first and second adhesive rollers 45 and 46 is cut by the cutting knife 72 moving between the first and second adhesive rollers 45 and 46.

When the top bonding process of the box 11 is completed, the robot arm detaches the first and second adhesive rollers 45 and 46 from the outer surface of the box 11. At this time, the rotating lever 50 is rotated to the initial position by the restoring spring 52, and the subframe 41 is also rotated to the initial position by the rotating lever 50 to restore.

Meanwhile, in the illustrated example, the process of adhering the tape 33 to the upper surface of the box 11 by the tape adhering apparatus 10 is illustrated, but the tape adhering apparatus 10 is not limited to the illustrated example, but the same process. Thus, the tape 33 may be attached to the rear and both sides or the front and rear sides of the box 11.

The tape adhesive device 10 operating as described above may be installed on an industrial robot arm to adhere the tape 33 to the upper and lower sides and both sides of the box 11 without a separate working machine or work process, thereby reducing work time and cost. There is an advantage to save.
