The longitudinal direction, the lateral direction, and the thickness direction of the base material 81 and the release paper 82 are the same as the longitudinal direction, the lateral direction, and the thickness direction of the tape 8, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 6, an adhesive layer 83 is provided on the entire rear surface 811 of the base material 81. The release paper 82 is affixed to the base material 81 through the adhesive layer 83 so as to be peeled off.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the base material 81 includes a first surplus portion 57, a second surplus portion 97, a first label group 5, and a second label group 9. The 1st surplus part 57 is provided in the upper end part of the base material 81, and is extended in a row in the left-right direction. The 2nd surplus part 97 is provided in the lower end part of the base material 81, and is extended in a row in the left-right direction. The vertical length of the first surplus portion 57 is equal to the vertical length of the second surplus portion 97.

  The first label group 5 includes a plurality of first labels 50. The second label group 9 includes a plurality of second labels 90. Hereinafter, the plurality of first labels 50 and the plurality of second labels 90 are collectively referred to as “labels”. For example, characters (characters, figures, symbols, etc.) are printed on the front surface of the label by the printing apparatus 1, or characters are entered by the operator. That is, the label displays a character. In FIG. 5A, as an example, “H”, “T”, “K”,... Are printed sequentially from the left first label 50, and “B”, “R” are printed sequentially from the left second label 90. ”,“ C ”,“ L ”,...

  The plurality of first labels 50 have the same rectangular shape and are arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction. That is, the distance D1 in the left-right direction between a pair of first labels 50 adjacent to each other is equal. In other words, among the sides extending in the vertical direction of the pair of first labels 50 adjacent to each other, the intervals between the corresponding sides are equal. The length in the vertical direction of the first label 50 is larger than the length in the vertical direction of the first surplus portion 57. The plurality of second labels 90 have the same rectangular shape and are arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction. That is, the distance D2 in the left-right direction between a pair of adjacent second labels 90 is equal to each other and equal to the distance D1. In other words, among the sides extending in the vertical direction of the pair of second labels 90 adjacent to each other, the intervals between the corresponding sides are equal. The length in the vertical direction of the second label 90 is larger than the length in the vertical direction of the second surplus portion 97. The first label 50 and the second label 90 have the same shape and are alternately arranged in the left-right direction one by one. Adjacent first label 50 and second label 90 are adjacent to each other.

  The first label 50 includes a first partial connection part 51 and first non-connection parts 521 to 523. The first partial connection portion 51 is a perforation provided at the upper end portion of the first label 50 and extending linearly in the left-right direction. The perforation refers to a plurality of cuts (through holes) provided at predetermined intervals (see FIGS. 5A and 6A). The first partial connection parts 51 are arranged in a straight line alternately with a second non-connection part 923 (to be described later) one by one in the left-right direction. The first label 50 is easily separated and connected to the first surplus portion 57 at the first partial connection portion 51. The first non-connecting parts 521 to 523 are cut end faces extending in series. The first non-connecting portion 521 extends linearly downward from the left end portion of the first partial connecting portion 51. The first non-connecting portion 522 extends linearly downward from the right end portion of the first partial connecting portion 51. The first non-connecting portion 523 extends linearly in the left-right direction between the lower end portions of the first non-connecting portions 521 and 522. The lengths of the first non-connection portions 521 and 522 are equal. Thereby, the 1st non-connecting parts 521-523 form the perimeter (the edge of the left side, the lower side, and the right side) of the 1st label 50, and prescribe the 1st label 50 in the shape of a rectangle.

  The second label 90 includes a second partial connection portion 91 and second non-connection portions 921 to 923. The 2nd partial connection part 91 is a perforation provided in the lower end part of the 2nd label 90, and extended linearly in the left-right direction. The second partial connecting portions 91 and the first non-connecting portions 523 are alternately arranged on a straight line one by one in the left-right direction. The second label 90 is easily separated and connected to the second surplus portion 97 at the second partial connection portion 91. The second non-connecting portions 921 to 923 are cut end surfaces extending in series. The second non-connecting portion 921 extends linearly upward from the left end portion of the second partial connecting portion 91. The second non-connecting portion 922 extends linearly upward from the right end portion of the second partial connecting portion 91. The second non-connecting portion 923 extends linearly in the left-right direction between the lower end portions of the second non-connecting portions 921 and 922. The lengths of the second non-connection portions 921 and 922 are equal. Thereby, the 2nd non-connecting parts 921-923 form the periphery (left side, upper side, and right side edge part) of the 2nd label 90, and prescribe | regulate the 2nd label 90 in a rectangular shape.

  That is, the first non-connection portion 521 and the second non-connection portion 922 form a pair of cut end surfaces that are formed when the base material 81 is cut. The first non-connection portion 522 and the second non-connection portion 921 form a pair of cut end surfaces formed when the base material 81 is cut. A line connecting the first non-connection portion 521 (second non-connection portion 922), the first non-connection portion 523, the first non-connection portion 522 (second non-connection portion 921), and the second non-connection portion 923 in this order. The first label 50, the second label 90, the first surplus portion 57, and the second surplus portion 97 are formed by forming a series of cuts in the base material 81 along the lines. The first surplus portion 57 and the second surplus portion 97 are portions of the base material 81 that are not used as labels.

  As shown in FIGS. 5B and 6B, the release paper 82 is provided with a first cutting portion 85 and a second cutting portion 86. The 1st cutting part 85 is a cut | notch provided in the same position as the 1st partial connection part 51 in the up-down direction among the release papers 82, and extends linearly in the left-right direction. The 2nd cutting part 86 is a cut | notch provided in the same position as the 2nd partial connection part 91 in the up-down direction among the release papers 82, and extends linearly in the left-right direction. The first cutting portion 85 and the second cutting portion 86 include a portion where the release paper 82 is attached to the first surplus portion 57 (hereinafter referred to as “first partial release paper 821”) and a second surplus portion 97. And a portion (hereinafter referred to as “third partial release paper 823”) to be attached to the first label group 5 and the second label group 9 (hereinafter referred to as “third partial release paper 822”). ).

  With reference to FIG. 7, a procedure for attaching a label using the tape 8 will be described. FIG. 7A is a rear view of the tape 8. FIG. 7B and FIG. 7C are front views of the tape 8. The operator prints information such as characters on the label with the printing apparatus 1 before applying the label (for example, see FIG. 5A). The worker may enter information such as characters on the label before or after applying the label. The operator uses the cutting mechanism 15 to cut off the portion of the tape 8 on which the label to be used is provided from the tape roll 80. As shown in FIG. 7A, the worker peels the third partial release paper 823 from the base material 81. As a result, the adhesive layer 83 provided in the portion where the third partial release paper 823 is pasted, that is, the label portion, is exposed. As shown in FIG. 7B, the tape 8 includes a portion (hereinafter, referred to as “first partial tape 87”) including the first label group 5, the first surplus portion 57, and the first partial release paper 821. The second label group 9, the second surplus portion 97, and the second partial release paper 822 are divided into portions (hereinafter referred to as “second partial tape 88”).

  As an example, the case where each 1st label 50 is affixed on the label sticking part located in a line at equal intervals using the 1st partial tape 87 is demonstrated. In addition, each space | interval of a label sticking part is equal to the distance D1 and the distance D2. The operator grasps the first surplus portion 57 and matches the position of each first label 50 with the position of the label attaching portion. That is, the operator arranges the first partial tape 87 so that the longitudinal direction coincides with the direction in which the label attaching portions are arranged. An operator affixes each 1st label 50 to a label sticking part collectively. Since the adhesive layer 83 is provided on the entire rear surface 811 of the base material 81, the operator can reliably apply the first label 50 to the label applying portion. As shown in FIG. 7C, the operator separates the first surplus portion 57 from each first label 50 along the first partial connection portion 51. Thus, each first label 50 is affixed to the label affixing portion at equal intervals (distance D1) in the order of “H”, “T”, and “K”. The same applies to the case where each second label 90 is affixed to the label affixing portion using the second partial tape 88. In this case, the second label 90, the second partial connection portion 91, and the second surplus portion 97 correspond to the first label 50, the first partial connection portion 51, and the first surplus portion 57, respectively.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the base material 81 is provided with the first surplus portion 57 and the second surplus portion 97. For this reason, for example, when aligning the position of the first label 50 with the position of the label pasting part, the operator can grasp the first surplus part 57. Therefore, the operator does not need to grasp and position the first label 50 itself, and the adhesive layer 83 provided on the first label 50 may adhere to the operator's hand when performing the alignment. It is suppressed. Thereby, the operator can easily adjust the position of each first label 50 to the position of the label attaching portion. Since the labels are arranged at equal intervals, the operator can easily match the positions of the labels with the positions of the label attaching portions arranged at equal intervals. If the first partial connection portion 51 forms the peripheral edge (upper edge portion) of the first label 50, or if the first non-connection portions 521 and 522 are perforations, the operator can set each first label 50. Are difficult to paste together. In 1st embodiment, the 1st partial connection part 51 is extended in the longitudinal direction in the 1st label 50, for example. First non-connection portions 521 and 522 extend from both ends of the first partial connection portion 51. A first non-connection portion 523 extends between the lower ends of the first non-connection portions 521 and 522. The first part connection part 51 is a perforation. The first non-connection portions 521 to 523 form the periphery of the first label 50. For this reason, the operator can affix each 1st label 50 collectively. In the first embodiment, the first surplus portion 57 is easily connected to the first partial connection portion 51 so as to be disconnected. The second surplus portion 97 is easily disconnected from the second portion connecting portion 91. For this reason, the worker can easily separate the first surplus portion 57 from each first label 50, for example. Thus, since the tape 8 is easy to affix a label at equal intervals, the efficiency of the affixing operation | work of the label to the label affixing part located in a line at equal intervals can be improved.

  If the second label 90 and the second surplus portion 97 are not provided on the base material 81, a portion that is not used as a label is formed between the pair of adjacent first labels 50 in the base material 81. . In the first embodiment, the first surplus portion 57 is provided at one end of the base material 81 in the short direction. A second surplus portion 97 is provided at the other end portion in the short direction of the base material 81. The substrate 81 is provided with a first label group 5 and a second label group 9. The first label 50 and the second label 90 are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction one by one. For this reason, the tape 8 can reduce the area of the portion of the base material 81 that is not used as a label. Therefore, the tape 8 can efficiently create a label from the base material 81.

  The first label 50 and the second label 90 have the same shape. For this reason, the tape 8 can efficiently create a label having the same shape from the base material 81. For example, there may be a plurality of label sticking portions having the same shape. In this case, the operator attaches each first label 50 to the label applying part using the first partial tape 87, and then uses the second partial tape 88 to attach each second label 90 to the label attaching part. Can be pasted.

  Adjacent first label 50 and second label 90 are adjacent to each other. For this reason, the area of the part which is not used as a label among the base materials 81 can be made small compared with the case where the part which is not used as a label is provided between the 1st label 50 and the 2nd label 90. Therefore, the tape 8 can efficiently create a label from the base material 81.

  The release paper 82 is provided with a first cutting part 85 and a second cutting part 86. For this reason, the operator can peel a part of the release paper 82 (third partial release paper 823) before applying the label. Thus, for example, when the first partial tape 87 is used, the operator grasps the portion of the first partial release paper 821 and applies each first label 50 while adjusting the application position of each first label 50. be able to. Therefore, the tape 8 can suppress the adhesion layer 83 from adhering to the operator's hand, and can easily attach a label.

  The first cutting portion 85 is provided at the same position as the first partial connection portion 51 in the short direction of the release paper 82. The second cutting part 86 is provided at the same position as the second partial connection part 91 in the short direction of the release paper 82. For this reason, when the third partial release paper 823 is peeled off, the adhesive layer 83 provided on the label portion is exposed. Thus, the operator can apply the entire surface of the label at one time. For example, when the operator cuts off the first surplus portion 57 from the first label 50 along the first partial connection portion 51, the first partial connection portion 51 has a lower end portion of the first partial release paper 821 (of the first cutting portion 85. Along the edge). Therefore, the operator can separate the first surplus portion 57 from the first label 50 along the first partial connection portion 51 appropriately.

  If the first partial connecting portion 51 is short, the first label 50 is not intended by the operator when the third partial release paper 823 is peeled off when being transported by the printing apparatus 1. There is a possibility that it will be disconnected. In the first embodiment, since the label is rectangular, the tape 8 can easily secure the lengths of the first partial connection portion 51 and the second partial connection portion 91 as compared with, for example, a case where the label is circular. Therefore, the tape 8 can suppress the first label 50 from being separated from the first surplus portion 57 without the operator's intention. Since the label is rectangular, the tape 8 can reduce the area of a portion of the base material 81 that is not used as a label, compared to a case where the label is circular, for example. That is, the tape 8 can take a wide area of the label per unit area of the base material 81. Therefore, the tape 8 can display (for example, print) a character large on the label.

  Each of the first partial connection portion 51 and the second partial connection portion 91 is a perforation. For this reason, for example, after affixing the first label 50, the operator can easily separate the first surplus portion 57 from the first label 50 along the first partial connection portion 51.

  The tape 8A according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, members having the same shape and function as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same or corresponding reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted or simplified. The printing apparatus 1 and the tape cassette 6 (excluding the tape 8) according to the second embodiment are the same as the printing apparatus 1 and the tape cassette 6 according to the first embodiment, respectively (third embodiment to be described later). The same applies to the fifth embodiment).

  The tape 8A according to the second embodiment includes a plurality of first labels 50A and a plurality of second labels 90A. In the tape 9A according to the second embodiment, the first label 50A includes a plurality of (two in the second embodiment) first partial labels 501A and first specific partial connection portions 59A, and the second label 90A The tape 8 according to the first embodiment is different from the tape 8 according to the first embodiment in that it includes a plurality (two in the second embodiment) of second part labels 901A and a second specific part connection part 99A.

  The plurality of first partial labels 501A are arranged in the vertical direction and have the same shape. 59 A of 1st specific part connection parts are provided between the 1st partial connection part 51 and the 1st non-connecting part 523, and are the perforation extended linearly in the left-right direction. More specifically, the first specific part connection portion 59A extends between the first non-connection portions 521 and 522 through the center in the vertical direction of the first label 50A. The plurality of first part labels 501A are easily separated from each other by the first specific part connection part 59A.

  The plurality of second partial labels 901A are arranged in the vertical direction and have the same shape. The second specific part connection part 99A is a perforation provided between the second part connection part 91 and the second non-connection part 923 and extending linearly in the left-right direction. More specifically, the second specific part connecting portion 99A passes through the center in the vertical direction of the second label 90A and extends between the second non-connecting portions 921 and 922. 59 A of 1st specific part connection parts and 99 A of 2nd specific part connection parts are arranged in a line by turns alternately one by one. The plurality of second part labels 901A are easily separated from each other at the second specific part connection part 99A and easily connected.

  As with the tape 8 according to the first embodiment, the tape 8A according to the second embodiment can be easily pasted at regular intervals. For example, there may be a case where a plurality of label attaching portions arranged at equal intervals are taken as one set, and a label is attached to a plurality of sets of label attaching portions. In this case, the tape 8A can be affixed to a plurality of sets of label affixing portions by affixing each partial label corresponding to each set of label affixing portions.

  In the second embodiment, one first label 50A includes two first partial labels 501A, and one second label 90A includes two second partial labels 901A. On the other hand, three or more first partial labels 501A may be included in one first label 50A, and three or more second partial labels 901A may be included in one second label 90A. That is, the number of the first specific part connection part 59A and the second specific part connection part 99A may be two or more.

  The tape 8B according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The tape 8B according to the third embodiment includes a plurality of first labels 50B and a plurality of second labels 90B. The tape 8B according to the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the shapes of the first label 50B and the second label 90B are different from each other. Specifically, the length in the left-right direction of the first label 50B is smaller than the length in the left-right direction of the second label 90B. In other words, the distance D3 in the left-right direction of the pair of first labels 50B adjacent to each other is larger than the distance D4 in the left-right direction of the pair of second labels 90B adjacent to each other.

  Similarly to the tape 8 according to the first embodiment, the tape 8B according to the third embodiment can be easily attached with labels at equal intervals. For example, there is a case in which a plurality of label attaching portions arranged at equal intervals are taken as a set, and a label is attached to each set of label attaching portions having different intervals. Assuming that the distance between the first label affixing portions is a distance D3 and the interval between the second label affixing portions is a distance D4, the tape 8B affixes the first label 50B to the first label affixing portion and the second label affixing portion to the second label affixing portion. A label 90B can be attached. Thus, the tape 8B can stick a label according to the space | interval of each label sticking part. When the label sticking portion is rectangular, the tape 8B can stick a label according to the length (distance D3 or distance D4) of the side of the label sticking portion extending in the direction in which the label sticking portions are arranged.

  A tape 8C according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The tape 8C according to the fourth embodiment is different from the tape 8 according to the first embodiment in that the second label group 9 is not provided. The base material 81 includes a first surplus portion 571C, a second surplus portion 572C, and a first label group 5C. The first surplus portion 571C is provided at the upper end portion of the substrate 81 and extends in a series in the left-right direction. The second surplus portion 572C is provided at the lower end portion of the substrate 81 and extends in a series in the left-right direction. The vertical length of the first surplus portion 571C is equal to the vertical length of the second surplus portion 572C. The vertical length of the first surplus portion 571C and the vertical length of the second surplus portion 572C may be different from each other.

  The first label group 5C includes a plurality of first labels 50C. The plurality of first labels 50C have the same rectangular shape and are arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction. The distance in the left-right direction between a pair of first labels 50C adjacent to each other is zero. In other words, among the sides extending in the vertical direction of the pair of first labels 50C adjacent to each other, the interval between the corresponding sides is equal to the length of the side extending in the left-right direction.

  The first label 50C includes a first partial connection portion 511C, a second partial connection portion 512C, and first non-connection portions 521C and 522C. The first partial connection portion 511C is a perforation provided in the upper end portion of the first label 50C and extending linearly in the left-right direction. The first partial connection portions 511C corresponding to the first labels 50C are continuously arranged on a straight line. The second partial connection portion 512C is a perforation provided at the lower end of the first label 50C and extending linearly in the left-right direction. The second partial connection portions 512C corresponding to the first labels 50C are continuously arranged on a straight line. The first label 50C is easily connected to the first surplus portion 571C by the first partial connection portion 511C, and is easily connected to the second surplus portion 572C by the second partial connection portion 512C. The first non-connecting portions 521C and 522C are cut end surfaces extending in series. The first non-connection portion 521C extends linearly downward from the left end portion of the first partial connection portion 511C to the left end portion of the second partial connection portion 512C. The first non-connecting portion 522C extends linearly downward from the right end portion of the first partial connecting portion 511C to the right end portion of the second partial connecting portion 512C. The lengths of the first non-connection portions 521C and 522C are equal. Accordingly, the first non-connecting portions 521C and 522C form the peripheral edge (left and right edge portions) of the first label 50C, and define the first label 50C in a rectangular shape.

  Similarly to the tape 8 according to the first embodiment, the tape 8C according to the fourth embodiment can be easily attached with labels at equal intervals. For example, when the interval between a pair of adjacent label affixing portions is equal to the interval between two first labels 50C, the worker sets the (3k-2) th first label 50C from the left side, where k is a natural number. What is necessary is just to affix on a label sticking part. That is, the tape 8C can affix the first label 50C at an interval corresponding to the interval between the label affixing portions.

  The first label 50C is supported by the first partial connection portion 511C and the second partial connection portion 512C at both ends in the short direction. Therefore, as compared with the case where the first label 50C is supported only by one end portion in the short direction, the first label 50C is peeled from the release paper 82 when the tape 8C is pulled out from the tape roll 80. This can be suppressed.

  A tape 8D according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The tape 8D according to the fifth embodiment differs from the tape 8 according to the first embodiment in that the second label group 9 and the second surplus portion 97 are not provided, the second cut portion 86 is not provided, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the base material 81 includes a first surplus portion 57D and a first label group 5D. The first surplus portion 57D includes a first portion 571D and a plurality of second portions 572D. The first portion 571D is provided at the upper end portion of the substrate 81 and extends in a series in the left-right direction. The second part 572D is a trapezoidal shape that is arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction and extends downward from the lower end of the first part 571D. The length of the lower base of the second portion 572D is greater than the length of the upper base of the second portion 572D.

  The first label group 5D includes a plurality of first labels 50D. The plurality of first labels 50D have the same triangular shape, and are arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction. The length in the vertical direction of the first label 50D is larger than the length in the vertical direction of the first portion 571D. The first label 50D and the second portion 572D are alternately arranged in the left-right direction one by one.

  The first label 50D includes a first partial connection portion 51D and first non-connection portions 521D and 522D. The first partial connection portion 51D is a perforation provided in the upper end portion of the first label 50D and extending linearly in the left-right direction. The first label 50D is easily separated and connected to the first surplus portion 57D at the first partial connection portion 51D. Each of the first non-connecting portions 521D and 522D is a cut end surface extending in series. The first non-connecting portion 521D extends linearly downward from the left end portion of the first partial connecting portion 51D. The first non-connecting portion 522D extends linearly from the right end portion of the first partial connecting portion 51D to the lower left portion of the first non-connecting portion 521D diagonally to the left. Thereby, 1st non-connecting part 521D, 522D forms the periphery (the edge part of the left side and the right side) of 1st label 50D, and prescribes | regulates 1st label 50D in triangular shape. The shape of the first label 50D is not limited to a triangular shape, and may be another polygonal shape, a semicircular shape, or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the release paper 82 is provided with a first cutting portion 85D. The first cutting portion 85D is a cut provided in the release paper 82 at the same position as the first partial connection portion 51D in the up-down direction and extending linearly in the left-right direction. The first cutting unit 85D divides the release paper 82 into a first partial release paper 821D attached to the first portion 571D and a third partial release paper 823D attached to the first label group 5D and the second portion 572D. . Similarly to the tape 8 according to the first embodiment, the tape 8D according to the fifth embodiment is easily attached with labels at equal intervals.

  The present invention can be variously modified from the first to fifth embodiments. For example, the first embodiment to the fifth embodiment can be appropriately combined with each other within a technically consistent range. Specifically, the tape 8B according to the third embodiment may include a first specific part connection part and a second specific part connection part as in the tape 8A according to the second embodiment. In the tape 8 according to the first embodiment, the first label 50 may be triangular like the first label 50D according to the fifth embodiment. In the tape 8C according to the fourth embodiment, as in the tape 8A according to the second embodiment, the first label 50C may include a plurality of first partial labels and first specific partial connection portions. These are merely examples of combinations, and combinations of the embodiments are not limited to these.

  Below, the modification of 1st embodiment is illustrated. In 1st embodiment, the 1st cutting part 85 and the 2nd cutting part 86 are each provided in the same position as the 1st partial connection part 51 and the 2nd partial connection part 91 in the up-down direction among the release papers 82, respectively. On the other hand, the 1st cutting part 85 and the 2nd cutting part 86 may be provided in the position different from the 1st partial connection part 51 and the 2nd partial connection part 91 in the up-down direction among the release paper 82, respectively. As shown in FIG. 13, for example, the first cutting portion 85 is located on the opposite side of the release paper 82 from the first label 50 with respect to the first partial connection portion 51 in the vertical direction, that is, the first surplus portion 57. It may be provided in a portion to be attached to the. The second cutting portion 86 is provided at a position on the release paper 82 opposite to the second label 90 with respect to the second partial connection portion 91 in the up-down direction, that is, a portion attached to the second surplus portion 97. May be. In this case, when the third partial release paper 823 is peeled, the entire adhesive layer 83 provided on the label portion is reliably exposed. Thus, the operator can apply the entire surface of the label at one time.

  In 1st embodiment, the 1st partial connection part 51, the 1st non-connection part 521-523, the 2nd partial connection part 91, the 2nd non-connection part 921-923, the 1st cutting part 85, and the 2nd cutting part 86 are Each extends in a straight line, but may extend in, for example, an uneven shape, a saw blade shape, a wavy line shape, or the like. The outer peripheral edge of the tape 8 may also extend in a concavo-convex shape, a saw blade shape, a wavy line shape, or the like. In the first embodiment, the first partial connection portions 51 and the second non-connection portions 923 are alternately arranged on a straight line one by one in the left-right direction. On the other hand, the first partial connection portion 51 may be provided on a straight line different from the second non-connection portion 923. For example, the first partial connection portion 51 may be provided between the first non-connection portion 523 and the second non-connection portion 923 and may extend linearly in the left-right direction. Similarly, the 2nd partial connection part 91 is provided between the 1st non-connecting part 523 and the 2nd non-connecting part 923, and may extend linearly in the left-right direction. In this case, the tape 8 can have the vertical length of the first label 50 and the vertical length of the second label 90 different from each other.

  In 1st embodiment, although the 1st partial connection part 51 and the 2nd partial connection part 91 are each perforation, the part from which the part of the thickness direction of the base material 81 was cut | disconnected may be sufficient, for example. In this case, for example, after attaching the first label 50, the operator can easily separate the first surplus portion 57 from the first label 50 along the first partial connection portion 51. In the first embodiment, each of the first cutting part 85 and the second cutting part 86 is a cut. On the other hand, the first cutting part 85 and the second cutting part 86 may each be a perforation, or may be a part in which a part in the thickness direction of the release paper 82 is cut, both of which are omitted. May be.

  In the first embodiment, the adhesive layer 83 is provided over the entire rear surface 811 of the substrate 81, but may be provided only on the label portion of the rear surface 811, for example. That is, the adhesive layer 83 may not be provided on the first surplus portion 57 and the second surplus portion 97 in the rear surface 811. The adhesive layer 83 may be provided only on a part of the label on the rear surface 811. As shown in FIG. 14, for example, the upper end portion of the first label 50 (that is, the vicinity of the lower side of the first partial connection portion 51) and the lower end portion of the second label 90 (that is, the second partial connection portion 91 of the rear surface 811). An adhesive layer 83 may be provided in the vicinity of the upper side. That is, a portion different from the upper end portion of the rear surface 811 of the first label 50 and a portion different from the lower end portion of the rear surface 811 of the second label 90 are non-adhesive portions where the adhesive layer 83 is not provided. Good. In this case, since there is a non-adhesive portion on the rear surface 811 of the label, the operator easily peels the release paper 82 from the base material 81 particularly when the label is small. Even when the first cutting part 85 and the second cutting part 86 are omitted, the operator easily peels the release paper 82 from the base material 81. The operator easily peels the label from the label sticking part after sticking the label to the label sticking part.

  In the first embodiment, the release paper 82 is provided with a first cutting portion 85 and a second cutting portion 86, but as shown in FIG. 15A, the release paper 82 is further provided with a separation portion 89. May be. The release paper 82 is easily separated from each other by the separation unit 89 and connected. Separation unit 89 includes a partial separation unit 891 and a complete separation unit 892. The partial separation portion 891 is a perforation extending along the first non-connection portion 523 and the second non-connection portion 923. The partial separation portion 891 may be a portion where a part of the release paper 82 in the thickness direction is cut. The complete separation portion 892 is a cut extending along the first non-connection portions 521 and 522 and the second non-connection portions 921 and 922. Note that the complete separation unit 892 may be a perforation, a portion of the release paper 82 that is cut in the thickness direction, or the like (ie, the partial separation unit 891).

  The 1st cutting part 85 is provided in the part affixed on the 1st surplus part 57 among the release papers 82, and is good to extend in the left-right direction. That is, the first cutting portion 85 is preferably provided at a position opposite to the first label 50 with respect to the first partial connection portion 51 in the vertical direction. The 2nd cutting part 86 is provided in the part affixed on the 2nd surplus part 97 among the release papers 82, and is good to extend in the left-right direction. In other words, the second cutting portion 86 is preferably provided at a position opposite to the second label 90 with respect to the second partial connection portion 91 in the vertical direction.

  Furthermore, in 1st embodiment, although the single type adhesion layer 83 is provided in the whole surface of the rear surface 811, as shown in FIG.15 (B), the adhesion layer 83 of a different kind according to a site | part is included in the rear surface 811. It may be provided. In FIG. 15B, the release paper 82 is removed for explanation, and each of the regions P1, P2, and P3 is indicated by hatching. The region P1 is a label portion of the rear surface 811. The region P2 is a portion of the first surplus portion 57 in the rear surface 811. The region P3 is a portion of the second surplus portion 97 in the rear surface 811. In this case, the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 83 provided in the region P1 may be smaller than the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 83 provided in the regions P2 and P3. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 83 provided in the region P1 preferably has a pressure-sensitive adhesive force that is difficult to peel off when it is once bonded. It is preferable that the adhesive layer 83 provided in the regions P2 and P3 has an adhesive force that can be easily peeled off once the adhesive layer 83 is adhered.

  A procedure for attaching a label using the tape 8 shown in FIG. 15 will be described. The operator cuts the partial separation portion 891 before peeling the release paper 82 from the base material 81. The partial separation portion 891 extends along the first non-connection portion 523 and the second non-connection portion 923, and the complete separation portion 892 extends along the first non-connection portions 521 and 522 and the second non-connection portions 921 and 922. It is a notch that extends. For this reason, the tape 8 is divided into a first partial tape 87 and a second partial tape 88 along the separating portion 89. That is, the operator can divide the tape 8 into the first partial tape 87 and the second partial tape 88 without peeling the release paper 82 from the substrate 81. Thus, the operator can handle the first partial tape 87 and the second partial tape 88 in a state where the release paper 82 is attached to the base material 81. Therefore, the tape 8 can easily handle the first partial tape 87 and the second partial tape 88 such as transportation.

  For example, the case where each 1st label 50 is affixed on a label sticking part using the 1st partial tape 87 is demonstrated. The operator uses the first partial connection portion 51 as an axis to make the valley so that the front surface of the first label 50 faces inward (that is, the front surface of the first label 50 faces the front surface of the first surplus portion 57). Fold it. Since the first label 50 and the first surplus portion 57 are easily separated from each other by the first partial connection portion 51, the operator can easily perform valley folding with the first partial connection portion 51 as an axis. it can. The operator peels the first partial release paper 821 from the base material 81. Thereby, the adhesive layer 83 provided in the upper half of the region P2 is exposed.

  The operator attaches the upper half of the first surplus portion 57 along the direction in which the label sticking portions are arranged through the exposed adhesive layer 83 to match the position of the first label 50 with the position of the label sticking portion. . Thus, since the 1st cutting | disconnection part 85 is provided in the position on the opposite side to the 1st label 50 with respect to the 1st partial connection part 51 in an up-down direction, an operator can release paper 82 from the 1st label 50. The first label 50 can be aligned before the is peeled off. Therefore, when the position alignment of the 1st label 50 is performed, it is suppressed that the 1st label 50 affixes on a label sticking part without an operator's intention. Since the release papers 82 are connected in series in the left-right direction, the operator can easily collect and dispose of the release papers 82 peeled off from the base material 81 compared to the case where the release papers 82 are divided into a plurality of left-right directions. it can.

  The operator peels the third partial release paper 823 from the base material 81. This exposes the adhesive layer 83 provided in the lower half of the region P2 and the region of the first partial tape 87 in the region P3. At this time, since valley folding is performed, it is suppressed that the 1st label 50 is stuck on a label sticking part without an operator's intention.

  The operator attaches each first label 50 to the label attaching part. At this time, the upper half of the first surplus portion 57 is already attached along the direction in which the label attaching portions are arranged, and the position of the first label 50 is aligned with the position of the label attaching portion. For this reason, an operator does not need to affix while aligning the position of each 1st label 50 with the position of a label sticking part. The tape 8 can suppress the position of the first label 50 from being shifted with respect to the position of the label attaching portion after the operator has adjusted the position of each first label 50 to the position of the label attaching portion. Therefore, the operator can easily affix each first label 50 to the label affixing part.

  An operator peels the 1st surplus part 57 from the upper side of a label sticking part, separating the 1st surplus part 57 from each 1st label 50 along the 1st partial connection part 51. FIG. The adhesive force of the adhesive layer 83 provided in the region P1 is smaller than the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 83 provided in the region P2. For this reason, the operator can peel the 1st surplus part 57 easily from the upper side of a label sticking part in the state which stuck each 1st label 50 to the label sticking part. Thus, each 1st label 50 is affixed on a label sticking part. The same applies to the case where each second label 90 is affixed to the label affixing portion using the second partial tape 88.

  In the first embodiment, the substrate 81 and the release paper 82 have the same shape, but may have different shapes. For example, the release paper 82 may be larger than the base material 81, or may be the same as the length of the label in the vertical direction. That is, for example, when the adhesive layer 83 is not provided on the first surplus portion 57 and the second surplus portion 97 of the rear surface 811, the release paper 82 can be peeled only on the label portion of the rear surface 811. It may be pasted.

  In the first embodiment, the first surplus portion 57 and the second surplus portion 97 each extend in the left-right direction in series. On the other hand, the 1st surplus part 57 may be divided | segmented for every predetermined number of 1st labels 50 which are two or more. The second surplus portion 97 may also be divided every predetermined number of second labels 90 that is two or more. In the first embodiment, the tape roll 80 is accommodated in the cassette case 60, but may not be accommodated. For example, the tape roll 80 may be a single unit. In the first embodiment, the tape 8 has the tape roll 80 around which the tape 8 is wound as the supply source of the tape 8, but fanfold paper in which the tape 8 is folded may be used as the supply source of the tape 8.

  In the first embodiment, the vertical length of the first surplus portion 57 is equal to the vertical length of the second surplus portion 97, but may be different. In the first embodiment, the vertical length of the first label 50 is larger than the vertical length of the first surplus portion 57, and the vertical length of the second label 90 is equal to the second surplus portion 97. It is larger than the length in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the vertical length of the first label 50 may be equal to or less than the vertical length of the first surplus portion 57, and the vertical length of the second label 90 is equal to the second surplus portion. It may be 97 or less in the vertical direction. In the first embodiment, the vertical length of the first surplus portion 57 is equal to the vertical length of the second surplus portion 97, but may be different.

  The modifications exemplified above can be applied to corresponding members of the second to fifth embodiments within a range where no contradiction occurs. For example, in the second embodiment to the fifth embodiment, the adhesive layer 83 may be provided on a part of the label on the rear surface 811. More specifically, in the tape 8A according to the second embodiment, the center part of each of the first label 50A and the second label 90A in the rear surface 811, that is, the first specific part connection part 59A and the second specific part connection part 99A. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 83 may be provided along. In the tape 8C according to the fourth embodiment, the adhesive layer 83 may be provided only on the upper end and the lower end of the first label 50C in the rear surface 811.
