TAPE CUTTER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tape cutter capable of properly managing distribution processes of products in detail by discriminating specific information such as a cut part and/or a required time for cutting based on a cut shape in a cut part of a tape. SOLUTION: The tape cutter cuts a tape 41a by a cutting blade 2a by drawing an appropriate length of the tape 41a which has an adhesive surface in at least one surface so as to be adhered in this adhesive surface from a tape wound body 41 formed by winding the tape 41a into layers around the periphery of a hollow winding core 42a. The cutting blade 2a is provided with a changing means for changing a cut shape of the tape so that a cut part and/or the required time for cutting can be discriminated based on a cut shape in the cut part of the tape. As a changing means, a means by a deformation adjusting mechanism 3a, an attachment/detachment changing mechanism and a rotation adjusting mechanism is properly used. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
