Abstract
A tape end processing unit has a guide path for guiding a tape piece from an insertion port into which the tape piece is inserted to a cutting blade to cut off the tape piece. The guide path is bent in a convex form in a direction in which the cutting blade moves when the tape piece is cut. With this configuration, the curl of the tape piece can be cured, and an end of the tape piece can be cut off with an accurate length. The tape end processing unit may have a blade receiving stand which has a concave section having a width narrower than the length of the cutting blade and a depth smaller than the thickness of a releasable paper constituting a part of the tape piece. With this configuration, the tape end processing unit can cut off an end of the tape piece in a state where the releasable paper can easily be separated.
