Abstract
A tape holder that dispenses tape sections with non-sticky or adhered portions at both ends, includes a base, a feed device disposed at a tape exit of the base, a side cutter gate disposed at one side of the feed device, and an auxiliary tape support connected to the feed device. The base has a tape receiving recess for receiving a large adhesive tape reel and a small substrate tape reel such that the adhesive side of the adhesive tape faces the substrate tape below. Both tapes may be pulled at at the same time and placed at the feed device where a portion of the tapes are pressed to form adhered portions. The side cutter gate has a cutting edge that cuts the substrate tape below or both tapes at the same time. After a desirable length of the adhesive tape has been pulled out, another adhered portion can be formed at the other end of the length. The auxiliary tape support is provided with serrations and may be connected to the front side of the base where the feed device is located to cut the tape as ordinary tape holders.
