Abstract
Abstract A dispenser for adhesive tape, and the like, has a spool arrangement supported by a base member and disposed for receiving a roll of tape. A cap including a head portion and a plug portion removably retains a roll of tape on a spindle partially forming the spool arrangement, which spindle has a recess in an end surface thereof for selectively receiving the plug portion of the cap. The base member is selectively mountable on a wall surface, and the like, as by suitable fasteners or by an adhesive, and the like. Also provided on the base member, in addition to the spool arrangement, is a double-edge cutting arrangement disposed for severing tape wound in either tangential direction from a roll journaled on the spindle of the spool arrangement.

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A dispenser for adhesive tape, and the like, comprising, in combination: (a) spool means for receiving a roll of tape; (b) mounting means supporting the spool means; and (c) cutting means provided on the mounting means for severing tape wound from a roll arrangeable on the spool means, the mounting means including a base member having a pair of spaced, planar faces arranged converging toward one another, the cutting means and spool means being disposed on one of the faces, and the faces converging toward one another from the cutting means toward the spool means for making a pull on tape being dispensed slightly away from the plane of the other of the faces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
A dispenser for adhesive tape, and the like, comprising, in combination: (a) spool means for receiving a roll of tape; (b) mounting means supporting the spool means; and (c) cutting means provided on the mounting means for severing tape wound from a roll arrangeable on the spool means, the mounting means including a base member having a pair of spaced, planar faces arranged converging toward one another, the cutting means and spool means being disposed on one of the faces, and the faces converging toward one another from the cutting means toward the spool means for making a pull on tape being dispensed slightly away from the plane of the other of the faces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A structure as defined in claim 1, wherein the spool means includes a spindle affixed to the mounting means, the spindle having a substantially cylindrical bearing surface, which receives the roll of tape.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
83 words
A structure as defined in claim 2, wherein the spindle further has an end surface spaced from the mounting means and provided with a recess, and the spool means further including a tape roll retaining cap including a roll restraining head portion and a plug portion extending away from the head portion, with the plug portion being removably arrangeable in the recess provided in the end surface of the spindle for positioning the head portion to retain the tape roll on the spindle.
