Abstract

A film-tape eraser with retractable dispensing head mainly includes a case, a dispensing mechanism, and a movable strip. The dispensing mechanism is forward and backward movably fitted in the case and includes a dispensing head normally projected from a dispensing opening at a lower front of the case for dispensing an erasing film-tape. The movable strip is set in a guide way provided below a curved top of the case with a rear end of the movable strip engaged with a rear end of the dispensing mechanism. When the movable strip is moved forward, it pulls the dispensing mechanism backward to retract the dispensing head into the case and closes the dispensing opening with a front section thereof; and when the movable strip is moved backward, the dispensing opening is opened and the dispensing mechanism is pushed forward to project the dispensing head from the dispensing opening.
