Abstract
Device for applying adhesive tape to a position in the width direction on an adherend surface linked to a neighboring surface via a folding line. The device comprises a pressing member with a surface attached pressingly to a surface of an adherend member, and at the same time, an edge between a sloping surface and an upper surface makes line contact with the neighboring surface near the folding line, thereby defining the position of the pressing member in the width direction relative to the adherend surface. The position of an adhesive tape relative to the pressing member is defined by an upper surface of a tape guide attaching member and a lower surface of a guide bar flange. Unapplied tape is guided by the guide bar and an unapplied tape guide, and a liner separated from the adhesive tape is guided by the guide bar and a liner guide.
