Holder for non-adhesive tape
 A non-adhesive tape holder (20) which comprises a drum body (21), a tape restraining member (22), a coil spring (23), and a rotation-preventing projection (30). The tape restraining member (22) is bent into a generally inclined U shape and includes a support shaft portion (32), a connecting portion (33), and a tape hold-down portion (34). The support shaft portion (32) is supported by the drum body (21) rotatably about an axis parallel to the axis of the drum body (21) in a position eccentric relative to the axis of the drum body (21). The coil spring (23) is housed in a spring-receiving recess (27) of the drum body (21) and elastically urges the tape restraining member (22) to rotate the tape restraining member (22) about the axis of the support shaft portion (32). The connecting portion (33) of the tape restraining member (22) rotated by the urging force of the coil spring (23) abuts against the rotation-preventing projection (30) movably toward and away from the rotation-preventing projection (30). The non-adhesive tape holder (20) provides increased operating efficiency during tape winding.
