Abstract
A tab for fixing a paper web end portion of a paper roll includes a substantially parallelogram-shaped base sheet having two diagonally opposite acute angles. A plurality of linear, discontinuous cuts are formed on the base sheet in parallel with two opposite sides of the base sheet to thereby define a first portion in cooperation with one of the two opposite sides and a second portion in cooperation with the other side. The cuts extend to at least one of other two opposite sides of the base sheet. Adhesive is applied to the first and second portions on the same surface such that an appropriate nonadhesive portion is formed between adhesive applied onto the first portion and adhesive applied onto the second portion. A release sheet having a size greater than that of the tab is attached to an adhesive-applied side of the tab such that a portion thereof is projected beyond the profile of the tab. Alternatively, the release sheet assumes the form of tape. The tabs are arranged on the release sheet tape in the longitudinal direction of the tape. The release sheet tape is rolled up into a tab feed roll.
