Abstract
An adhesive tape dispenser comprises a handle, a base fastened with the handle, a tape-cutting device mounted on the base, a shaft disposed in the proximity of one end of an arcuate hole of the base, a sleeve rotatably fitted over the shaft, and a rotary rod disposed in the arcuate hole such that the rotary rod is capable of displacement along the arcuate hole so as to cause the tape roll to be held between the shaft and the rotary rod. The tape is dispensed quietly in such a manner that the tape is gradually unrolled from the tape roll along the rotary rod.
Claims3
A tape dispenser comprising:
- a handle;
- a base fastened with said handle and provided with an arcuate hole forming an arc of an imaginary circle;
- a cutting device fastened with said base for serving a tape;
- a shaft fastened at one end thereof with said base such that said shaft is contiguous to one end of said arcuate hole;
- a rotary rod movably received in said arcuate hole such that said rotary rod displaces along said arcuate hole to press against said shaft so as to enable a tape roll to be held securely between said shaft and said rotary rod;
- and
- an elastic member fastened at one end thereof with said base such that said rotary rod is urged by other end of said elastic member, thereby forcing said rotary rod to be retained in said arcuate hole and in the proximity of one end of said shaft whereby said elastic member is provided with a recovery force for forcing said rotary rod to return to an original position thereof after said rotary rod has displaced,
- wherein said base is provided with an axial hole located at the center of said imaginary circle, and a U-shaped rod having one end which is received in said axial hole, said U-shaped rod further having other end which is received in said arcuate hole;
- and wherein said rotary rod is fitted over said U-shaped rod.
