Attorney, Agent or Firm:
There is provided a tape printing apparatus which is capable of positively discharging a cut-off tape strip of a tape material out of the apparatus by forcibly discharging the same, thereby preventing jamming and double cutting of the tape material. A full-cutting device for cutting a printed strip off the tape material is arranged at a location downstream of a printing section in a tape-feeding direction. A half-cutting device carries out half-cutting of the tape material. A tape discharge device forcibly discharges the cut-off tape strip out of the apparatus via a tape exit. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the invention to provide a tape printing apparatus which is capable of positively discharging a cut tape strip out of the apparatus by forcibly discharging the same, thereby preventing jamming and double cutting of the tape.
To attain the above object, the invention provides a tape printing apparatus a tape printing apparatus comprising: tape feeding means for feeding a tape material in the form of a laminate of a printing tape and a peel-off paper; printing means for printing on the tape material being fed by the tape feeding means; full-cutting means arranged at a location downstream of the printing means in a tape-feeding direction, for cutting off the tape material; a tape exit for discharging a printed tape strip of the tape material cut off by the full-cutting means; and tape strip-discharging means for being brought into sliding rotational contact with the tape strip cut off by the full-cutting means, to thereby forcibly discharge the tape strip out of the tape printing apparatus via the tape exit.
This tape printing apparatus is equipped with the tape strip-discharging means for forcibly discharging the printed strip of the tape material cut off by the full-cutting means, out of the apparatus via the tape exit.
Therefore, the cut-off strip of the tape material can be positively discharged out of the apparatus, thereby preventing the jamming and double cutting of the printed strip.
Preferably, the tape printing apparatus further includes half-cutting means for cutting off one of the printing tape and the peel-off tape of the tape material.
More preferably, the half-cutting means is arranged at a location downstream of the printing means in the tape-feeding direction, and the tape strip-discharging means is arranged at a location downstream of the half-cutting means in the tape-feeding direction.
According to this preferred embodiment, the distance between the print head and the full-cutting means can be minimized, so that a leading cutting margin of a tape material strip to be printed next can be minimized, enabling reduction of waste of the tape
