Abstract: A rolled-print-medium holder device includes an axial member, a holding member, an outer fitting portion, an inner fitting portion, and a weld portion. The holding member is fixed to at least one of both axial ends of the axial member and holds both sides of a rolled print medium. The outer fitting portion is provided at either one of the axial member and the holding member. The outer fitting portion has an inner peripheral surface. The inner fitting portion is provided at the other one of the axial member and the holding member. The inner fitting portion has an outer peripheral surface. The inner fitting portion is fitted into the outer fitting portion. The weld portion is provided at at least one of the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion. The weld portion at least fixes the outer peripheral surface to the inner peripheral surface by ultrasonic welding.

Abstract: A tape printer, wherein when a label tape (36) is fed to a tape cutting position after the label (39) of the label tape (36) is printed out, the heating elements (R1 to Rn) of a thermal head (9) are disposed so as to be opposed to the position of a next printed label (39) slightly on the upstream side of a label head position on the downstream side of thereof in the feeding direction and to be opposed to the position of the next printed label (39) on the downstream side of the printing start position thereof (so that a<b can be established in FIG. 7), and a mark detection sensor (12)is disposed on the upstream side of the heating elements (R1 to Rn) so as to be opposed to the position slightly on the downstream side of the position opposed to a position detection mark (39B) (so that c<e can be established in FIG. 7).

Abstract: A tape unit has a support including a rotation support section rotatably supporting a tape spool and facing a roll part of a print tape, and a junction section extending from the rotation support section. A guide groove for guiding the print tape pulled out from the roll part is formed on the junction section. By virtue of such composition, the tape unit can be attached to a cassette case body of a tape cassette maintaining the print tape in the guide groove, by which the replacement of the tape unit which is stored in the cassette case body can be made easier.

Abstract: In a tape cassette (5) to be used for a tape printing device (1), a roll part T0 of a print tape T having a preset tape width is firmly attached to the under surface of a rotation support section (21a) of a tape unit (20) by a lower spool (22). The tape unit (20) is provided with a tape identification section (30) for identifying the type etc. of the rolled tape. In the tape identification section (30), a vertical through hole (61) as a tape width identification part is provided varying its position depending on the tape width. Meanwhile, a cassette case body (32) and a cassette cover (33) of the tape cassette (5) are provided with a tape detection part (50a, 50b) to which the tape identification section (30) can be set or attached, while being provided with a projection (52) as a tape width detection part to be paired with the vertical through hole (61) so that only a tape unit (20) including a rolled print tape having a preset tape width is allowed to be attached to the tape cassette (5).

Abstract: In a tape cassette and a tape unit according to the present invention, the tape unit 20 comprises a support 21 including: a rotation support section 21a rotatably supporting a tape spool 53 and facing a roll part T0 of a print tape T; and a junction section 55 extending from the rotation support section. A guide groove 55a for guiding the print tape T pulled out from the roll part T0 is formed on the junction section 55. By virtue of such composition, the tape unit 20 can be attached to a cassette case body 32 of the tape cassette maintaining the print tape T being set in the guide groove 55a, by which the replacement of the tape unit T which is stored in the cassette case body 32 can be made easier.
