Painter's tape dispenser with cutter

A painter's tape dispenser, comprising:

• a flat, planar base, the base having the shape of an elongated isosceles triangle with rounded vertices defining a wide proximal end, a narrow distal end, an upper surface, and a lower surface;
• said base having a major axis which extends from said wide proximal end to said narrow distal end, with the upper surface of said base disposed within a single plane;
• a rotatable spindle mounted on the upper surface of the base at said major axis and adjacent the wide proximal end, the spindle being adapted for mounting a roll of tape thereon;
• a cutter removably mounted on the upper surface of the base at said major axis and adjacent the narrow distal end, said cutter comprising;
• a mounting lug removably mounted on and extending parallel to said base,
• a cutting plate having a top facing in an upward direction, a bottom facing in a downward direction, a first end and a second end,
• said cutting plate extending normal to the mounting lug with said cutting plate first end joined to said mounting lug, said mounting lug extending away from said cutting plate and in the same direction that said bottom is facing, the cutting plate defining a cutting edge extending away from said spindle, and
• a protector plate extending from the second end of said cutting plate, said protector plate extending away from and normal to the cutting plate and in the same direction that said top is facing;
• a pair of straps attached to the lower surface of the base and extending generally perpendicular to the major axis of said base, the straps being spaced apart and adapted for mounting the base on the inner aspect of a user's forearm with the proximal end adjacent the user's elbow and the distal end adjacent the user's wrist;
• whereby the tape dispenser and the cutter are conveniently available for hands-free dispensing and cutting of the tape.
