Abstract
The device includes a spool and a mounting structure for mounting the spool on a machine which uses paper tape. The mounting structure rotatably mounts the spool in a manner that the spool can rest on the paper tape roll of the machine and includes elements which rest against the back of the machine. The mounting structure is adjustable so that the axis of rotation of the spool is disposed between the axis of rotation of the paper tape roll and the surface of the machine such that the spool and the mounting structure are wedged between the surface of the machine and the roll.
