Abstract
A hand-held device for applying correction tape on an application surface having at most only a supply spool for a stock of the correction tape. An applicator element, which can be a roller, applies the correction tape in its entirety on the application surface. No backing tape or the like is rewound back into the casing. Therefore, a second take-up spool can be omitted. In the vicinity of the application element a cut-off/separating element is provided for cutting off or separating the applied correction tape from the rest of the correction tape when lifting the device off an application surface.
Claims37
A device for applying on a surface a correction tape having an application side and a write-on side, the correction tape being applied in its entirety on the application surface without being fed back into the casing, said device comprising:
- a casing configured for housing a stock of correction tape;
- an application element extending from an aperture in said casing to press correction tape supplied from the stock on an application surface during operation of said device;
- and
- a cut-off/separating device automatically operative upon lifting said device off the application surface and inoperative when said device is pressed against the application surface to apply the application tape;
- wherein said application element and said cut-off/separating device are displaceable relative to each other from a first inoperative position in which they are distanced from each other and a second operative position in which they are in contact with each other with correction tape interposed therebetween so that said tape is pinched between said application element and said cut-off/separating device.
A device for applying on a surface a correction tape having an application side and a write-on side, said correction tape being applied in its entirety on said application surface without being fed back into said casing, said device comprising:
- a casing configured for housing a stock of correction tape;
- a roller extending from an aperture in said casing to press correction tape supplied from the stock on an application surface during operation of said device;
- and
- a cut-off/separating device operative upon lifting said device off said application surface and inoperative when said device is pressed against said application surface to apply said application tape;
- wherein said roller is mounted on a bearing axis elastically displaceable in a direction essentially perpendicular to said application surface so that said cut-off/separating device and said roller are moved between a first inoperative position in which they are distanced from each other to a second operative position in which they are biased against each other.
