Claim Text:
1. A tape cartridge comprising: a first winding core that includes a first axis and an outer periphery around which a tape having a desired width-direction dimension is wound to form a first tape roll; a second winding core that includes a second axis and an outer periphery around which a part of layers of said tape is to be wound, wherein the layers are peeled off from said tape fed out from said first tape roll and transported; a connecting arm that connects said first winding core and said second winding core and that rotatably supports said first winding core on one side in a connecting direction and rotatably supports said second winding core on the other side in the connecting direction; a guide attaching/detaching part that is disposed in the vicinity of a peeling-off part configured to peel-off said part of layers along a transport path of said tape in said connecting arm, and is configured to detachably attach a first guide member configured to allow said tape fed out from said first tape roll to pass in a tape posture so that a linear direction formed by a cross-sectional surface of the tape becomes a first direction in parallel with said first axis and said second axis and to guide said tape by regulating movement in a tape width direction through contact with both end portions of said tape in the tape width direction during the passing; and a second guide member that is disposed on said connecting arm and is configured to guide said passing of the tape while being guided by said first guide member, by regulating movement in a second direction through contact with one side part of said tape in the second direction orthogonal to a tape surface direction of said tape.
