Embodiment Construction

[0027] Hereinafter, a tape cassette according to an embodiment of the present invention and a tape printing apparatus mounted with the tape cassette will be described with reference to the drawings. This tape printing device performs printing while conveying a printing tape and an ink ribbon from an attached tape cassette, and cuts the printed portion of the printing tape to form a label (tape sheet).

[0028] Such as figure 1 As shown, the tape printing device 1 has: a casing 2 forming a casing; a cassette mounting portion 3 (tape mounting portion) is recessed and formed on the upper surface of the casing 2, and a printing tape T etc. is detachably mounted and housed therein. The tape cassette 11; the opening and closing cover 4, which opens and closes the cassette installation part 3; the printing mechanism 5, which has the print head 22 vertically arranged in the cassette installation part 3, and prints the printing tape T; the tape feeding mechanism 6 , which feeds the pr...

Abstract

The invention provides a tape cartridge and a tape printer, in which it is unnecessary to perform a seat-entering adjustment on a printer head relative to a lower end. The tape cartridge includes a platen roller 15, when the tape cartridge is mounted on a tape printer 1, a print head 22 of the tape printer 1 contacting the platen roller 15 with a print tape T and an ink ribbon R arranged therebetween such that the print head 22 can be separated from the platen roller 15; a cartridge case 16 that houses the print tape T, the ink ribbon R, and the platen roller 15; and an insertion opening 17 formed in the cartridge case 16, the print head 22 being inserted into the insertion opening 17. A contact portion 10 of the platen roller 15 that is brought into contact with the print head 22 protrudes relative to a head receiver 72 of the insertion opening 17 to which the print head 22 is exposed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tape cassette and a tape printing device detachably mounted on a tape printing device. Background technique [0002] In the past, as such a tape cassette, the following tape cassettes are known. The thermal head is pressed sideways to be in a printing state (refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] The tape cassette is externally formed by a cassette case composed of an upper case and a lower case on the seat side. An upper through opening through which the thermal head penetrates is formed in the upper case, and a lower through opening through which the thermal head penetrates is formed in the lower case. The upper through-opening is formed so that the contacted portion of the pressure roller that the thermal head contacts protrudes, and the lower through-opening is formed slightly protruding from the upper through-opening so that the contacted portion of the pressure roller does not protrude. This prevents the ink r...
