Abstract
An applicator for a rolled strip includes a grip, a lining and a pivotal tube. The grip is made of flexible material, formed in a tubular shape with a sealed bottom end and an open top end. The lining is inserted in the grip, also formed in a tubular shape with two open ends. The lining has a plurality of axial slots. The pivotal tube has one end to be inserted in the lining and another end to be inserted in an axial hole of a rolled strip. The pivotal tube can pivotally turn in the lining if not interfered by any external force. When a user holds the grip and applies a radial force against the grip, the pivotal tube will be squeezed by the lining to stop rotation so that the user can adjust the wrapping tightness of the rolled strip.
