Abstract: An apparatus for applying a tape onto a cartridge includes a frame and a rotatable tape roll support mounted on the frame. A pivoting tape applying arm is mounted on the frame and a pair of nip rollers are mounted on the lower end of the tape applying arm. The nip rollers allow linered tape movement only in the direction away from the tape roll. Tape unwinds from the tape roll only in response to movement of the tape applying arm after tape has been applied and before the next application. The tape travels from the tape roll, through the nip rollers and along the tape applying arm before a pin mounted on the applying arm strips the tape from its liner. A paddle then tacks the tape onto the cartridge and a buff roller presses the tape against the cartridge to insure adhesion. A cutter fixed on the frame cuts the applied tape and includes an electrically heated wire mounted in a sleeve with a ceramic backup component.
