A tape applicator suitable for applying a tape having a pressure sensitive adhesive layer facing outside of the center of a tape roll having an inner core and an outer core. The inner core is rotably mounted inside of an outer core. The inner core has an handle to hold the applicator in hand. The tape applicator is secured inside of a core of a tape roll.

It is intended to provide a tape printer and a tape creating method which can achieve a high degree of accuracy and constant length of printing even when the rotational speed of a DC motor changes due to the increase of a wire-wound resistance value because of the heat generation of the DC motor under the continuous driving and the load change by the replacement of a tape. The print cycle algebra is corrected in each time when a pulse number inputted from the photo sensor reaches a control pulse...

There is provided a magnetic tape, to be used at a running speed of at least 4,000 mm/sec., wherein servo signals for controlling tracking are recorded on the magnetic layer or the backcoat layer, and wherein the difference between the recording track width and the reproducing track width is 16 .mu.m or less, characterized in that the value of [.alpha./(Tw-Tr)] is 0.2 or less, wherein a [.mu.m] is an amount of a weave occurring on one of both edges of the magnetic tape and on the side of referen...

A label to be attached to a linear or bar-shaped object is created by printing on a translucent printing tape and cutting off a printed tape part in a width direction of the printing tape. For creating the label, the printed tape part is divided parallel to its longitudinal direction and a print region where printing is performed is set. Printing is performed in the print region and the printed tape part is cut off. This region setting is performed in such a manner that the print region is overl...

A magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support; at least one lower magnetic layer containing magnetic powder and a binder resin, which is formed on one side of the non-magnetic support with or without a non-magnetic primer layer interposed between the non-magnetic support and the lower magnetic layer; at least one non-magnetic intermediate layer containing non-magnetic powder and a binder resin, which is formed on the lower magnetic layer; at least one upper magnetic layer contain...

The present disclosure relates to a tape that comprises a weft-inserted warp knit fabric, which utilizes a combination stitch to secure the wales of the fabric. The combination stitch comprises a majority of successive chain stitches that are used with a minority of subsequent successive tricot stitches, such that the stitch follows the expression x+y, where x is the number of successive chain stitches and y is the number of subsequent successive tricot stitches. Contemplated x values are in the...

After a numbering character string is input, the start position of the numbering character string to be serially incremented and the end position of the numbering character string to be repeatedly incremented and printed on a print tape are set, and the number of print tapes on which the input numbering character string is serially implemented and printed is set. In this case, a numbering character string to be printed on a first print tape and a numbering character string to be printed on a las...

Disclosed are a system, a method, and an article of manufacture to provide for the detection and compensation of tape breakage in a tape drive. The invention operates by simultaneously monitoring the tape reel rotation direction and the ratio of rotation between the tape reels. If the rotation direction is not the same for both reels, then tape breakage is indicated and reel rotation ceases. Tape breakage is also detected if the tape reel angular rotation ratio between the supply and take up ree...

A tape reel structure for a tape cassette provides radially extending ribs between an outer cylindrical section forming a tape reel section to be wound therearound with a tape, and an inner cylindrical section serving as a reel shaft boss. The rib at least has a portion extending substantially through an overall length of the outer cylindrical section so as to prevent radially inward deformation thereof. The rib joins with the inner cylindrical section at the inner edge. The upper end of the joi...

A tape dispenser comprises a seat body and a tape reel seat. The seat body is provided at the front end with a tape cutter, in the top with a long groove and a joining hole neighbored at one side of the groove. The seat body is further provided at the bottom with a bottom seat having a greater weight to stabilize the bottom seat on a surface. The tape reel seat is provided at one end with an insertion portion, and at other end with a mounting portion for mounting a tape roll. The insertion porti...
