A tape dispenser having a handle, a base plate disposed at an end of the handle, a rotatable tape mount engaged on the base plate, a nose member disposed on the base plate, a cylinder rotatably engaged on the nose member near a cutter and a guide element is provided. The guide member is slidingly engaged on the base plate. The guide element is adjustable between a loading position which is slid rearwardly to provide space between a tape engaging end of the guide element and the nose member and a loaded position where the end of the guide element is located adjacent the nose member. A tape core support assembly can include a shaft secured to the frame and an axle assembly disposed about at least a portion of the shaft. The axle assembly includes a hub having an outer surface and at least three arcuate arms extending outwardly from the hub outer surface. An outer periphery of the arms forms a theoretical or actual cylinder configured to receive the tape core. The rotatable tape core support can include a stationary axle, a spring inclusive bushing mounted to said axle, and a rotatable tape mount. The rotatable tape mount can include a housing that receives the bushing such that the spring engages a surface of the housing to control rotation of the tape mount.
A tape dispenser comprising a handle, a base plate disposed at an end of said handle, a rotatable tape mount engaged on said base plate, a nose member disposed on said base plate, a cylinder rotatably engaged on said nose member near a cutter which is fixed on said nose member and a guide element slidingly engaged on said base plate, said guide element being adjustable between a loading position which is slid toward the base plate to provide a space between a tape engaging end of the guide element and the nose member, said space allowing an end of a tape mounted on the cylinder to hang freely between the guide element and the nose member, and a loaded position where the end of the guide element is located adjacent the nose member with the tape resting upon the guide element.
A tape dispenser comprising a handle, a base plate disposed at an end of said handle, a rotatable tape mount engaged on said base plate, a nose member disposed on said base plate, a cylinder rotatably engaged on said nose member near a cutter which is fixed on said nose member and a guide element slidingly engaged on said base plate, said guide element being adjustable between a loading position which is slid toward the base plate to provide a space between a tape engaging end of the guide element and the nose member and a loaded position where the end of the guide element is located adjacent the nose member, wherein said rotatable tape mount comprises a stationary axle, a spring inclusive bushing mounted to said axle, and a rotatable tape mount, said rotatable tape mount including a housing that receives the bushing such that the spring engages a surface of the housing to control rotation of the tape mount and wherein the surface of the housing includes a plurality of teeth receiving the spring and wherein the teeth include a shallow sloped wall and a steeper sloped wall.
