Abstract
An adhesive tape includes an elongated substrate with a series of perforations forming a tear line extending along a length of the elongated substrate, an adhesive substantially covering a first surface of the elongated substrate, and a cord attached to the elongated substrate by the adhesive, the cord extending along the length of the elongated substrate adjacent to the series of perforations.
Claims22
A tape dispenser comprising:
- a first spool axle configured to receive a roll of adhesive tape, the adhesive tape including an elongated substrate and an adhesive substantially covering a first surface of the elongated substrate;
- a cutting edge configured to facilitate tearing the adhesive tape after its pulled from the roll of adhesive tape on the first spool axle;
- a second spool axle configured to receive a spooled cord;
- and
- a loop configured to orient an end of the cord against a side of the elongated substrate including the adhesive while the adhesive tape is pulled from the roll of adhesive tape on the first spool axle.
