## Abstract

An applicator of a rolled strip includes a grip, a lining and a pivotal tube. The grip is made of flexible material, formed tubular with a sealed bottom and an open top. The lining is inserted in the grip, formed tubular with two open ends. The lining has plural axial slots. The pivotal tube has one end inserted in the lining and another end inserted in an axial hole of a rolled strip. The pivotal tube can pivotally turn in the lining if not interfered by any foreign force. When a user holding the grip gives a radial force, the pivotal tube is to be squeezed by the lining to stop rotating, so that the user can adjust wrapping tightness of the rolled strip.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An applicator of a rolled strip comprising:
a grip made of flexible material and formed tubular with a sealed bottom and an open top, a first positioning member formed in an inner wall of said top end of said grip;
a lining formed tubular with two open ends and inserted in said grip, said lining provided with a second positioning member formed on an outer wall to correspondingly engage with said first positioning member, plural slots cut axially in said lining, a first restricting member projected around an inner wall of said lining;
a pivotal tube having one end inserted in an axial hole of a rolled strip and another end inserted in said lining and provided with a second restricting member formed in an inner wall to correspond to said first restricting member of said lining, said pivotal tube having an outer diameter slightly smaller than an inner diameter of said lining so that said pivotal tube can turn in said lining; and
said pivotal tube able to pivotally whirl in said lining if not interfered by any foreign force and able to be squeezed by said lining to stop rotating due to a radial force given by a user holding said grip.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The applicator of a rolled strip as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first positioning member is formed as two semi-circular grooves.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The applicator of a rolled strip as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second positioning member is formed as two semi-circular projections.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The applicator of a rolled strip as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first restricting member is an annular projection.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The applicator of a rolled strip as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second restricting member is an annular groove.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The applicator of a rolled strip as claimed in claim 1, wherein said grip is provided with plural ribs formed axially on an inner wall to correspondingly fit in said slots of said lining.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The applicator of a rolled strip as claimed in claim 1, wherein said grip is provided with a flange horizontally extended outward from a top.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The applicator of a rolled strip as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said slots has a bottom end formed as an open free end.
