Abstract
A zipper tape applicator device is provided designed for the efficient application of tape to both sides of a zipper assembly. The device comprises a base with two parallel vertical members featuring cutouts to hold the axle of a spool assembly that can spin freely while securing two rolls of tape. Positioned above the base and spool assembly is a taping member with a top surface designed to guide tape from the rolls to the zipper placed upon the member. More specifically, the member includes recessed areas and openings for tape feeding, ensuring precise alignment. A top member of the taping member, connected via hinges, can close onto the zipper, trapping the zipper in place within the member for the tape application from both rolls onto each side of the zipper while the zipper is pulled through the member.
