Dry wall taping device

A dry wall taping device, comprising a hand-supported and manipulated frame having a handle portion at a first end and a tape applying end portion at a second opposite end for projection by an operator into close proximity to a dry wall having a seam, for applying glue to a dry wall tape, securing the glued tape to a dry wall and plastering over the secured tape in generally immediate succession, and including means to support a roll of tape in position for the tape to pay out and run to the tape applying end of the frame, means intermediate the tape roll support and the tape applying end to apply glue to at least one side of said run of tape, a transverse axis tape applying roller at the tape applying end of the frame, means mounting the roller in position to engage said run of tape to roller-pressure glue-affix the tape over a seam upon dry wall traversing motion imparted to the frame by said operator and attendant paying out of said tape, a plaster extruding and smoothing head means for applying a layer of plaster of a predetermined controlled thickness at the tape applying end of the frame, means mounting said head means in connection with the frame whereby said head--when pressure-fed with plaster, and upon traversing motion of the frame--applies and smooths, in trailing relation to the tape applying roller, a finish layer of plaster over the glue-affixed tape, and means in part on the frame to feed plaster under pressure to said head.
