Rolled tape dispenser

A rolled tape dispenser comprising:

• a) a body having a relatively primary leg configured to extend along one of two opposite sides of a roll of tape to be dispensed, and a shorter secondary leg configured to support a cutting blade that extend at least partially transversely across a generally cylindrical outer surface of the roll of tape, said primary leg includes a slot formed therethrough;
• b) a spindle extending at least through said slot in said primary leg of said body, at least a portion of said spindle configured to extend into a hollow central core of the roll of tape to support the roll of tape on said spindle, said spindle including a connection arrangement designed to secure said spindle in said slot of said primary leg and to enable said spindle to move at least partially along a length of said slot, said spindle including an enlarged head formation, said connection between said spindle and said primary leg at least partially established by inserting at least a portion of said enlarged head through said slot of said primary leg sufficiently far to introduce parallel extending portions of said primary leg that at least partially form said slot so that the parallel extending portions engage groove arrangements of said spindle to provide a sliding connection that permits said spindle to move along a length of said slot without rotating within said slot;
• and,
• c) a spindle biasing arrangement connected to said body and said spindle, said spindle biasing arrangement designed to bias said spindle in toward said secondary leg so that when the roll of tape is supported on said spindle a generally cylindrical outer surface of the roll of tape is biased toward said cutting blade.
