A dispenser for dispensing thin tape, comprising:

• a support assembly;
• a support member mounted to the support assembly for holding a supply of adhesive tape;
• a rotatable feed mechanism mounted to the support assembly, the feed mechanism including:
• a plurality of circular feed discs for removing adhesive tape from the supply of adhesive tape;
• a drive assembly mounted to the support assembly and coupled to the feed mechanism, the drive assembly driving the feed mechanism;
• and
• a rotatable stripper mechanism mounted to the support assembly and coupled to the feed mechanism such that stripper mechanism is driven by the drive assembly through the feed mechanism, the stripper mechanism including:
• a plurality of stripper discs that operate to strip the adhesive tape from the feed mechanism so that a free end of the adhesive tape can be easily grasped by a user of the tape dispenser, there being multiple feed discs for every one stripper disc,
• wherein each stripper disc has a peripheral edge defined by alternating circumferential edge sections and radially inward edge sections, and adjoining stripper discs are positioned such that a circumferential section of one stripper disc is adjacent to a radially inward edge section of an adjacent stripper disc.
