Abstract

A structure for mounting reels on a tape supply device used, for example, in a tape bonding machine without the use of spacers including a sleeve, a cylindrical grooved cam which has a pair of grooves that are opposite in circumferential directions and is rotatably fitted over the sleeve, a reel-holding plate which is rotatably and slidably provided on the grooved cam, a reel shaft inserted into the sleeve so that the reel shaft can rotate and slide in the axial direction, and a movement-transmitting assembly which moves the reel-holding plate and reel shaft in opposite directions when the grooved cam is turned so that a portion on the reel shaft on which a tape reel is fitted can be changed to any desired length.
