Abstract
Abstract A hand-held tape dispenser having a guide roller, a pressure roller, and a dispenser roller, all positioned beneath a tape spool and all of which project laterally to one side of the device so that the same may be operated as closely as possible to an adjacent surface, such as a wall, when the device is utilized for applying masking tape to woodwork and/or framing members abutting the wall surface to be painted, and a tape severing blade extending parallel to the rollers, rearwardly of the pressure roller, and which, upon elevanting movement of the device upon said pressure roller, will cut the tape.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
226 words
A dispenser for self-adhesive type tape wherein the dispenser comprises a. a body consisting of a relatively thin plate having an integral handle thereon, b. a tape-roll-carrying spool mounted on said body and extending to one side of said plate, c. a tape dispenser roller extending laterally from one side of said plate and in a parallel depending offset relation to said spool and of a width corresponding to the width of the tape to be dispensed, d. a pair of rollers to either side of said dispensing roller for guiding the dispensing of the tape from said spool and for pressing an edge portion of the dispensed tape onto an adjacent surface, e. U-shaped arms extending from one side of said plate for rotatably supporting said guide and pressure rollers in alignment with the edge of said dispensing roller that is spaced from said plate, f. a tape-severing blade carried by and extending to said one side of said plate beneath the handle and spaced from said pressure roller for cutting the dispensed tape, and g. means provided by the dispenser extending laterally from said one side of said plate parallelly to said U-shaped arms and adjacent to the peripheral edge of said dispensing roller for retaining the tape in contact therewith for continuing dispensing after a dispensed portion has been severed from the dispenser.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
77 words
A dispenser as defined by claim 1 wherein said means comprises a rod parallelly spaced from the periphery of said dispensing roller and terminating at a point between said plate and said pressure roller and in contact with the adhesive side of the tape as it is dispensed about said dispensing roller prior to the pressure of said pressure roller thereon as the tape is dispensed and applied and to which it will removably adhere when severed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
A dispenser as defined by claim 1 wherein said pair of rollers comprises a guide roller and a pressure roller, with said pressure roller having a width less than that of said dispensing roller so as to press only an edge portion of the dispensed tape upon a surface over which the dispenser is guided by said guide roller.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
77 words
A dispenser as defined by claim 3 wherein said means comprises a rod parallelly spaced from the periphery of said dispensing roller and terminating at a point between said plate and said pressure roller and in contact with the adhesive side of the tape as it is dispensed about said dispensing roller prior to the pressure of said pressure roller thereon as the tape is dispensed and applied and to which it will removably adhere when severed.
