A method of connecting adhesive material tapes, used for connecting one adhesive material tape wound on one reel and the other tape wound on the other reel, an adhesive agent being applied on base materials of the tapes. The end portion of the one adhesive material tape is turned over, and an adhesive agent face of the one adhesive material tape and an adhesive agent layer of the other adhesive material tape are laid over each other. Then, the laid over portion is heated and pressed so as to connect them. To exchange the adhesive material reels, the end portion of an adhesive material tape having been paid out and the start potion of an adhesive material tape to be newly installed are adhered to each other using the adhesive agents of the adhesive material tapes. Therefore, work including exchange of take-up tapes at every replacement of a new adhesive material tape and installation of the start portion of a new adhesive material tape to a take-up reel is not required. The replacement to a new adhesive material tape requires less time, and then productivity of electronic equipment is increased. |
