摘要: A ribbon cassette includes: a cassette case having first and second holes; an ink ribbon; first and second spools; an engaging part; and a spring member. The ink ribbon has one end wound on the first spool, and another end connected to a first end portion of the second spool. The spring member is wound around a second portion of the second spool. The spring member includes: a winding part wound around the second portion; and an extension part extending from the winding part and engaged with the engaging part. The winding part is wound in a direction opposite to a take-up direction of the second spool. A second draw-out load applied to the ink ribbon being pulled from the second spool through the second hole is smaller than a first draw-out load applied to the ink ribbon being pulled from the first spool through the first hole.

摘要: A tape cassette that includes a housing having a front wall and a tape feed exit located on the front wall, a tape included at least partially within the housing, and a pressing portion and a first non-pressing portion on the front wall. The pressing portion and the first non-pressing portion are positioned to oppose tape type detecting switches of the label printer when the cassette is in the label printer. The pressing portion is configured to change a state of an opposing one of the tape type detecting switches, and the first non-pressing portion is configured to avoid changing a state of an opposing one of the tape type detecting switches. The first non-pressing portion is a planar area of the front wall extending in a tape width direction from a top surface of the housing to a bottom surface of the housing.

摘要: A tape cartridge detachably installed on a cartridge installation portion of a tape printing apparatus having a first shaft and a second shaft on the cartridge installation portion. The tape cartridge includes a tape accommodation area in which a printing tape and a tape core are accommodated. A platen has a first reception portion in which the first shaft is inserted when the tape cartridge is installed, and a second reception portion into which the second shaft is inserted when the tape cartridge is installed in the cartridge installation portion. When seen from an attaching direction of the tape cartridge, the tape cartridge has an appearance that is formed in an L-shape and of which a base end at a right side surface slightly projects. The first reception portion and the second reception portion are arranged each other from opposite side of the tape accommodation portion.

摘要: A tape cartridge including a tape member, a tape core on which the tape member is wound, and a cartridge case in which the tape member and the tape core are accommodated. The tape member includes a folded tape main body having a print portion on a first side of the fold and a non-print portion on a second side of the fold. The folded tape main body includes an adhesive layer that pastes the print portion and the non-print portion together. An outermost surface of the print portion forms a print surface. The adhesive layer is provided on an inner surface of the print portion. A first release agent layer is provided abutting the adhesive layer. A second release agent layer is provided on an inner surface of the non-print portion such that the second release agent layer contacts the adhesive layer and the first release agent layer.
