Claim Text:
1. An automatic splicing device which connects number one and number two tape provided with cavities for storing components and indexing holes at fixed intervals using splicing tape at a splicing position, comprising: number one and number two cutting devices for respectively cutting each unnecessary section from the tail end of number one tape and the leading end of number two tape at number one and number two cutting positions; number one and number two tape indexing devices for respectively conveying the number one and number two tapes along number one and number two conveyance paths and positioning sequentially cutting points for the number one and number two tapes at the number one and number two cutting positions and the splicing position; number one and number two takeup devices for respectively taking up the number one and number two unnecessary sections cut from the number one and number two tapes each respectively provided between the number one and number two cutting positions and the splicing position; a control device for controlling each action of the number one and number two tape indexing devices, the number one and number two cutting devices, and the number one and number two takeup devices; wherein the number one and number two takeup devices comprise: number one and number two takeup members formed with number one and number two movable conveyance paths which make up part of the number one and number two conveyance paths and provided between the number one and number two cutting positions and the splicing position; number one and number two takeup member moving devices for moving the number one and number two takeup members between the number one and number two conveyance positions at which the number one and number two movable conveyance paths are in a line with the number one and number two conveyance paths, and number one and number two aperture forming positions at which number one and number two apertures for taking up the number one and number two unnecessary sections of the number one and number two tapes that are conveyed on the number one and number two conveyance paths are formed between the number one and number two cutting positions in the number one and number two conveyance paths and the splicing position; wherein the control device moves the number one and number two takeup member moving devices so that the number one and number two takeup members are positioned at the number one and number two aperture forming positions until the number one and the number two indexing devices position the number one and number two tape cutting points at the number one and number two cutting positions; and, when the number one and number two cutting devices complete the cutting of the number one and number two unnecessary sections, moves the number one and number two takeup member moving devices so that the number one and number two takeup members are positioned at the number one and number two conveyance positions.
