<p>PURPOSE:To avoid folded tape at tape supply, by changing the running direction of a tape tip carried along a tape guide surface. CONSTITUTION:A cylinder 11 is provided around a tape winding body Ta, and the cylinder 11 is provided with a plurality of air blowing-out holes. The tip of a tape T is carried externally from the cylinder 11 with air flow as shown in the figure blown out from the holes. The tape carried from the cylinder 11 is carried leftward in the figure along a tape guide surface 2a of a tape guide body 1. Although the tape T can be run with the air from the cylinder 11 up to the vicinity of an air bearing 13, behind the bearing 13, the air force from the cylinder 11 becomes weak. Thus, as shown in the figure, the air is blown out athwart along the tape run direction from a hole 2b formed to the tape guide plane 2a and the tape T is run further left.</p> |
