Abstract
A taping machine for applying a protective wrapping to small parts, particularly electronic parts such as capacitors, having a longitudinal axis. Permanently adhesive tape is fed from a supply roll onto a forwardly inclined table at the front of the machine. Below the front lip of the table are a pair of horizontally extending rollers vertically aligned with one another. Interposed between the lip of the table and the rollers is a reciprocated cutter blade. A third roller mounted upon a swingable arm is bodily movable in triangular relation with respect to the pair of rollers. The end of the tape extends to the lip of the table, sticky side up, so that a part may be manually pressed adheringly to the tape in a transversely extending direction. Interposed between the roll of tape and the table is a swingably mounted knurled roller engaging the sticky side of the tape and about which the tape is looped. A hand wheel swings the roller rearwardly for pre-stripping a length of tape and then swings the roller forwardly to feed the length of tape across the table so that the part adhering to the tape drops over the lip of the table and into a centered position in front of the pair of roll…
