Abstract

The present invention provides an adhesive tape cutter capable of, when attaching an adhesive tape to an object, automatically forming a non-adhesive area that constitutes a tab in order to make it easier to peel off the adhesive tape. An adhesive tape cutter 1 comprises: a support member 5 located at one end of a main bracket 2 to support a wound body of adhesive tape 4 so that the wound body of adhesive tape 4 can rotate; a cutting member 6 located at the other end of the main bracket 2 to cut an adhesive tape 3 drawn from the wound body of adhesive tape 4; an overlapping-area-forming mechanism 7 located between the support member 5 and the cutting member 6 to form an overlapping area 3E along one margin of the adhesive tape 3 in its lengthwise direction; and a pressing member 8 that is located near the cutting member 6 and comes into contact with the non-adhesive surface 3B of the adhesive tape 3, thereby pressing the adhesive tape 3 to the object.
