PURPOSE:To provide tape cassette structure enabling the change of tapes at the optional time without stopping a machine, and an automatic sticking device for heat welded tape pieces. CONSTITUTION:A tape cassette has a reel support part 11 for supporting tape reels 13, a tape guide part 16 with a tape guide path formed being extended in the draw-out direction of thermoplastic tapes T, pressure contact rollers 22a, 22b partitioning a part of the tape guide path, and aperture parts for exposing the rollers 22a, 22b partially outside. Plural tape cassettes of such structure are removably supported on a tape cassette supporting table for moving the tape cassettes toward the travel path of a traveling strip body and parallel to the travel path for positioning. In the tape cassette supporting table, the desired tape cassette is moved, positioned and fixed on a tape sticking part line, and the tape T is stuck to the surface of the strip body by an automatic sticking means for heat welded tape pieces and cut into small pieces. |
