Abstract

A first roll is provided, which is formed by winding a base tape having a tape-state base film in which a plurality of RFID circuit elements are disposed with a predetermined interval in the lengthwise direction, an adhesive layer with a predetermined width for affixing the RFID circuit element to a target to be affixed, disposed on one face of the base film, and a separation sheet with a width larger than that of the adhesive layer and disposed so as to extend in the lengthwise direction of the adhesive layer around a reel axis approximately perpendicular to the lengthwise direction.

Claims (10)

1. A cartridge comprising: a roll of tape with RFID tags comprising a tag tape wound around an axis approximately perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of said tag tape, said tag tape comprising: a base tape comprising a base layer in which a plurality of RFID circuit elements are disposed with a predetermined interval in said lengthwise direction; an adhesive layer for affixing configured to affix said RFID circuit elements to a target to be affixed provided on one side of said base layer, said adhesive layer for affixing having an upper limit or a lower limit of width configured to prevent protrusion in the widthwise direction of said tag tape; and a separation tape comprising said adhesive layer for affixing and a separation layer configured to cover said adhesive layer for affixing, said separation layer being configured to separate from said adhesive layer for affixing, wherein a width of said separation tape is greater than a width of said base tape so as to realize setting of said lower limit; and a roll of print-receiving tape winding a print-receiving tape configured to be bonded to said tag tape fed out from said roll of tape with RFID tags, wherein said base tape of said roll of tape with RFID tags further comprises an adhesive layer for bonding configured to bond said base layer to said print-receiving tape.

2. The cartridge according to claim 1 , further comprising an ink ribbon configured to contact said print-receiving tape fed out from said roll of print-receiving tape.

3. The cartridge according to claim 2 , wherein: said print-receiving tape is transparent; and a printing of mirror-image is performed on the back surface of said print-receiving tape when contacted by said ink ribbon.

4. A cartridge comprising: a roll of tape with RFID tags comprising a tag tape wound around an axis approximately perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of said tag tape, said tag tape comprising: a base tape comprising a base layer in which a plurality of RFID circuit elements are disposed with a predetermined interval in said lengthwise direction; an adhesive layer for affixing configured to affix said RFID circuit elements to a target to be affixed provided on one side of said base layer, said adhesive layer for affixing having an upper limit or a lower limit of width configured to prevent protrusion in the widthwise direction of said tag tape; and a separation tape comprising said adhesive layer for affixing and a separation layer configured to cover said adhesive layer for affixing, said separation layer being configured to separate from said adhesive layer for affixing, wherein a width of said separation tape is greater than a width of said base tape so as to realize setting of said lower limit; and a roll of print-receiving tape winding a print-receiving tape configured to be bonded to said tag tape fed out from said roll of tape with RFID tags, wherein: said base tape of said roll of tape with RFID tags further comprises an adhesive layer for bonding said base layer to said print-receiving tape; and a width of said print-receiving tape is greater than both the width of said base tape and the width of said separation tape.

5. The cartridge according to claim 4 , further comprising an ink ribbon configured to contact said print-receiving tape fed out from said roll of print-receiving tape.

6. The cartridge according to claim 5 , wherein: said print-receiving tape is transparent; and a printing of mirror-image is performed on the back surface of said print-receiving tape when contacted by said ink ribbon.

7. The cartridge according to claim 5 , wherein: said print-receiving tape is transparent; and the images received on said print-receiving tape are received on a back surface of said print-receiving tape as mirror images when contacted by said ink ribbon.

8. A cartridge comprising: a roll of print-receiving tape configured to receive images printed thereon; and a roll of tag tape wound around an axis approximately perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of said tag tape, said tag tape comprising: a base layer in which a plurality of RFID circuit elements are disposed with a predetermined interval in said lengthwise direction, a first adhesive layer provided on one side of said base layer that is configured to affix each of said plurality of RFID circuit elements to a target, said first adhesive layer having a width configured to prevent protrusion of said first adhesive layer in the widthwise direction of said tag tape, a separation layer affixed to said first adhesive layer opposite the base layer that is configured to cover said adhesive layer and to separate from said first adhesive layer, a width of said separation tape being greater than a width of said base tape, and a second adhesive layer configured to bond said base layer to said print-receiving tape as said roll of tag tape is unwound from the axis.

9. The cartridge according to claim 8 , wherein a width of said print-receiving tape is greater than both the width of said base tape and the width of said separation tape.

10. The cartridge according to claim 8 , further comprising an ink ribbon configured to contact said print-receiving tape as it is unwound from said roll of print-receiving tape.
