The loading units are configured to receive a strapping roll. The loading units are connected with a connecting member and an elastic member. When in use, a strapping roll is first placed on one of the loading units to be guided and located between the loading units through the connecting member and the elastic member. When the strapping roll is pulled, the strap dispenser can prevent the strapping roll from being jammed or pulled out of the loading units due to the action of the centrifugal force. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A strap dispenser, comprising: a main body; two loading units, mounted to the main body, the loading units each including a first plate and a second plate, a main shaft being provided between the first plate and the second plate, the main shaft being pivotally connected to the main body, the loading units being further provided with a connecting member, the connecting member being connected to the first plates of the two loading units, the connecting member being connected with an elastic member; a mobile unit, mounted to the main body, the mobile unit including two wheels. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The strap dispenser as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least two rotating shafts are provided between the first plate and the second plate, a roller is fitted on each of the rotating shafts, and the main shaft is located between the rotating shafts. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The strap dispenser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the loading units each include an adjustment plate, the adjustment plate is disposed between the first plate and the second plate, the adjustment plate is provided with two receiving portions, the receiving portions are configured to receive adjustment levers respectively, the adjustment levers are located between the first plate and the second plate, and each of the receiving portions is provided with an adjustment bolt so that the adjustment plate is adjustable between the first plate and the second plate and secured by the adjustment bolt. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The strap dispenser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting member includes two links, the two links are connected to the first plates of the two loading units respectively, the two links are pivotally connected to each other, and the elastic member is connected between the two links to provide a restoring force between the links. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The strap dispenser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the elastic member is a tension spring. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The strap dispenser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mobile unit further includes a wheel axle, the wheels are located at two ends of the wheel axle respectively, and the wheel axle is located on a same plane as the main shaft. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The strap dispenser as claimed in claim 2, wherein one side of the roller is provided with a baffle plate. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The strap dispenser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main body comprises a first frame and a second frame, the first frame has a first transverse rod, two ends of the first transverse rod are connected with first connecting rods respectively, the first connecting rods are connected with first coupling rods respectively, the second frame has a second transverse rod, two ends of the second transverse rod are connected with second connecting rods respectively, the second connecting rods are connected with second coupling rods respectively, and the second coupling rods are coupled to the first coupling rods, respectively. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The strap dispenser as claimed in claim 8, wherein each of the second connecting rods is longitudinally provided with a retaining plate, the retaining plate is formed with two perforations, and a transverse plate is provided between the second coupling rods. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The strap dispenser as claimed in claim 8, wherein the first coupling rods are provided with a plurality of first positioning holes respectively, the second coupling rods are provided with a plurality of second positioning holes corresponding to the first positioning holes of the first coupling rods respectively, and the first positioning holes and the second positioning holes are secured by a plurality of positioning bolts for adjusting the height of the first frame and the second frame.
