Handheld applicator for adhesive tape
Abstract
Abstract A handheld dispenser and applicator for tape coated with pressure sensitive adhesive of the type including a supporting body provided with a handle, a tape reel, an exposed pressure roller, guides for guiding tape from the reel past the roller to an object to be taped during application of the tape under the manually generated pressure of the roller, and a blade for cutting the trailing end of the applied piece of tape, is provided with a leaf spring which engages a portion of the tape between the roller and the reel and laterally deflects the engaged tape portion as soon as the tension caused by application of the tape is relaxed when the trailing tape end is cut off. The leading end of the tape remaining on the applicator is thereby pulled back to the roller and is attached under the pressure of the roller during the next taping operation.
