<p>The present invention has a second tape feed mechanism (20B), wherein a sprocket (20B) is allowed to rotate freely in a first rotation direction corresponding to the tape feed direction, and a first urging member (30) is provided for urging and causing a carrier tape (14) to engage the sprocket (21B). In a state in which the leading tape (14(1)) has engaged the sprocket (21B) and the trailing tape (14(2)) has been inserted, a tape stopper (35a) makes contact with the head end part of the trailing tape (14(2)) and blocks entry, and then switches from a tape entry-blocking position to a tape entry-permitting position after the leading tape (14(1)) has passed by the tape stopper (35a).</p> |
