Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2309960A] A tape holding case for use with a tape printing apparatus has an outlet through which the tape 70 from a spool 104 exits and a wall portion 47 over which the tape then passes, the wall portion being cooperative with a rotatable drive means 40 of the printing apparatus and being movable relative to the case so that in use the wall portion and the drive means contact opposed sides of the tape with sufficient force that rotation of the drive means causes the tape to be withdrawn from the case. The wall portion may have a protruding portion 218 arranged in use to contact a support member of the case or the printing apparatus, eg a pin 205, the support member being on the opposite side of the wall portion to the drive means. The wall portion, which is preferably rectangular, may be biased towards the drive means and may be hinged to the case (figures 4 and 5).
