'I'he present invention provides a simple hand held dispenser or pressure-sensitive adhesive coated tape wound with a release liner between its coils, in which the motion of the tape as it is withdrawn simultaneously separ-ates the liner from the tape and winds the liner in stored condition on the dispenser without the need for a liner take-up mechanism. The dispenser is simple, sufficiantly inexpensive to manufacture that it may be disposed of after a single roll of tape has been dispensed from it, and can be readily sterilized when used with tape for medical applications.
The invention is a hand held dispenser by which lengths of pressure-sensitive adhesive coated tape may be withdrawn from a supply roll of said tape convolutely wound with a release liner between its coils, said dispenser comprising walls defining: a first cavity adapted for storing said supply roll;
a second cavity adapted for storing said linerJ said second cavity being partially defined by an inner wall surface adapted to direct liner pushed into said second cavity to wind into a coil; a path connecting said cavities, said path being adapted for passage of said tape and liner out of said first cavity, and for passage of said liner into said second cavity; and an opening along said path through which opening said tape may be withdrawn from said dispenser, said walls defining said opening having a separating edge transverse of said path adjacent said first cavity around which edge tape may be peeled away from the liner as the tape is withdrawn from said dispenser, so that withdrawing tape from said opening will propel said liner along said path and into a coil in said second cavity.
The walls defining the dispenser may include a tape supporting surEace projecting away from the path on the side of the opening opposite the separating edge, which tape supporting sur~ace engages the portion of tape ,~ - 2 -~'P 1 3~

The dispenser may also provide means ~or '; aE~ordin(J the Inanual application of tension to the tape a~s it is withdrawn from the dispenser whlch can be useul in applying the tape to a surEace. Such means may comprise a yap in the walls alorlg the path between the firs~ cavity and the opening through which gap a user may manually engage and press tape beincJ withdrawn against the oppssite wall of the path.
Preferably, the dispenser also includes tape cutting means which may be in the form of a blade having a concave cutting edge mounted externally on the dispenser to afford ~ransversely severing the tape. Such a curved blade first cuts the two opposite outside edges of the tape, and then progres~ively cuts across tha tape towards its center as ~he tape is pulled into engagement with the concave cuttin~ edge to Eacilitate ease of cutting the tape.

Referriny now to Figure~ 1 through 5 of the drawings, there is illustra~ecl a first embodiment of a ~ape dispenser according to the present invention generally designated by the reference numeral 10~
~ he dispenser 10 is adapted to be hand held and to contain a supply roll 14 (Figure 2) of pres~ure-sensitive adhesive coated tape 12 convolutely wound with arelea.se liner 16 between coils, from which lengths of the ;~ tape 12 may be manually withdra-~n through an opening 26 in tl~e dispenser 10.
~rhe dispenser comprises walls 18 which define a Eir~t generally cylindrical cavity 20 adapted for storing ~I)c supply roll 14; a path means or path 22 having a first portion 23 connecting the first cavity 20 and opening 26 throu~h which the ~ape 12 and liner 16 may be pulled from ~l~e supply roll 1~; the opening 26 through which the tape ~0 1~ may be manually withdrawn from the dispenser 10; a : .~ic~)arating edge 24 positioned traverse o~ the p~th 22 so ~hat as the t~pe 12 is pulled around the separating edge 24 through the opening 26 it will be peeled from the liner l6, while the motion oE the tape 12 will simultaneously push the separated liner 16 away from the 3eparating edge ~4 aloncJ a ~econd portion 25 o~ the path 22; and a second enerally cylindrical cavity 30 having an arcuate inner ~ 3 wal.l sur~ace ~i which :is intersectec3 generally at a tar-c~ent by the second por~ion 25 of the path 22, such that .!L 1~ U :ill( cl .I LO~l~J ~ 1 L~or~:ion ~5 oE the~ path will strike the arcuate inner wall ~urface 28 and cause the l:iner 16 to wind into a coil in the second cavity 30.
lhe curl fvrmed in ~he liner 16 when it is wound with t~le tape in the supply roll 14 helps to cause the liner .L6 to wind into a coil in the second cavlty 30, since in the dispenser 10 the cavities 20 and 30 are positioned on the same side of the palth 22.
The dispenser walls 18 are preferably molded oE
d ~ti~f polylneric material ~uch as hiyh impact polystyrene. rrhe walls 18 compr.tse first and second planar generally teardrop shaped side walls 27 and 29 having c3enerally pointed end portions. The first side : wall 27 has molded thereon a plurality of traverse walls : 31 projecting a uni_orm distance normal to one major surFace of the first side wall 27 and the second sic3e : wall 29 is adopted to be fastened to the distal ends of the transverse walls 31 (after the supply roll 14 of the ~ape 12 has been positioned in the dispenser 10) to position the second side wall 29 in opposed parallel ~ relationship to the first side wall 27 so that arcuate ~ortions of the transverse walls 31 and opposed generally : 25 circular portions of the side walls 27 anc3 29 define the generally cylindrical first and second cavities, and opposed narrow portions of the side walls 27 and 29 and uortions of the traverse walls 31 define the path ~2. The Eir.~t cavity 20 and opening 26 are located adjacent the generally pointed end portions of the side walls 27 and
2'~; whereas the second cav.ity 30, beca~se oE its s:Lze (which i~ substantially larger in diameter than the Eir~t cavity 20 to Eacilitate coiling o~ ~he liner.16) i~
located at the end o~ the di~penser 10 opposite the generally pointed end portions of the ~i~e wall~ 27 and 2'~. The resultant ~hape allows the larger portion of the dispen~er adjacent the larger second cavity 30 to be S~ 33 colnfortclbly received in ~he palm o a users hand with the narrower end portion of the d:ispenser pointed away from I~L~ I.L~rcl ~!~lSy C~ S ~ arld Illani~ulation of ta~e 12 extending thrc~ugh the opening 26.
lrhe traverse ~alls 31 further include a project-in~ wall ~efining a tape supporting surface 32 located on the side of the opening 26 opposite ~he separating edge 24, which supporting surface 3~ is d~sposed at an angle with respect to the path 22 such that the portion of the tape 12 projecting out of the openinc; 26 will be biased into enga~ement with ~he supporting surface 32 by resiliency in the portion of the tape 1~ that is peeled away from the liner 16 at the openiny 26 ~which resiliency causes the tape 12 to move toward a position parallel to the irst portion of the path)~ This resiliency will cause the tape 12 ~o press against and be supported by the tape supporting surface 32 in a position projecting away ~rom the dispenser when tape 12 is not being withdrawn : ~roln the dispenser~ The tape 12 so supported on the tape supporting surface 32 may be easily grasped by a subsequen~ user of the dispenser 10.
- Means are provided ~or affording the manual application of tension to the tape 12 as the tape 12 is : withdrawll, which is useful when affixing ~he tape 12 to a sur~ace or severing ~ape via tape cutting mean~ later to be explained. A gap 34 is defined by the walls 18 between the first cavity 20 and the opening 26 alony the first -~rtion 23 of the path 22, which gap 34 allows the user to ~ nually engage the outer surface of the tape 12 and press thR tape 12 and liner 16 against an arcuate portion 35 of ~ila transverse walls 31 on the side of the first portion ~3 o~ the path 22 opposite the gap 34 as the tape is being withdrawn through the opening 24. The user may thu~
~ontrol ~he amount o tension in the ~ape 12 being applied 3S by controlling the pressure manually applied to pres~ the ta~ 12 a~3ainst the wall portion 35.

~ me d:i~penser :L0 includes tape cut~ing means for cu~ting the tape 12 when a desired length has been wi~ t:~wr~ cu~i.n~J Illean~ ~olllpri~e~ a blad~ ~6 having a concave cut~ing edge 38 mounted on the dispenser S L0 to permit tran~verse se~vcrin~ o~ ~he tape 1~ after it has been ~ulled throu~h the opening 26. The blade 36 is mounted perpendicularly between the opposing sur~aces of o~twardly projecting parts 40 o~ the generally pointed end portions of the two parallel side walls 27 and 2~. After a desired length of the tape 12 has been pulled from the openiny 26, the dispenser may be pivoted to rnove the blade 36 hetween the projecting parts 40 toward the tape after move~nent of tape out of the dispenser is stopped ~y manually pressing the tape against the wall porti4n 35 through the opening 24. As the concave cutting edge 38 is moved into engagement with the tape 12, the tape :L2 will be severed transver~ely from its opposite outside edges progressively towards its center to facilitate ease of severing of the tape 12.
For operation, the supply roll 14 is loaded into ~: the firs~ cavity 20 and ~he tape 12 and liner 16 are separated adjacent their ends and threaded along the first portion 23 of the path with the separated end of the tape : 12 projecting out of the opening 26 and the separaSed end of the liner 16 in the second portion 25 of the path 22 I.e~dint~ ~o the second cavity 30. The dispenser 10 is then closed by attachment o the second side wall 29, whereupon u~e~ ay grasp the dispenser 10 with one hand, and gra~p an(l pull out the desired length of tape 12 with the other lland. As the tape 12 i5 pulled out of the di~penser 10, tllQ 1iner 16 is separate~ at the separating edge 2~ and is push~d along the second por~ion ~5 of the path 22 into the .second cavity 30 where contact with the arcuate W2l11 sur~ace ~ causes it to ~orm a coil. ,The second side wall may be releasably attached to the transv.erse walls 31 as by screw~ or hooks so that when the tape 12 has all been dispensed the liner 16 may be removed from the aerond ,' -8~ 5~
~c~vity 30 ar~d ~ new ~u~ly rol.l 14 loaded into the ~irst cavity 2(1 and threaded aLoncJ ~he path 22. Alternatively~

Referring to Fiyures 6 and 7 of the drawings, there is i:Llustrated a second elnbodilnent of a tape dispenser according to the present inventicn generally dèsignated by the reference numeral S0.
The d.ispenser S0 compri~es walls 52 which deEine a first generally cylindrical cavity 54 adapted for storing a supply roll of tape convolutely wound wi~h a release line~ between its coils; a path means or path 56 comprising a first portion 57 connecting the first: cavity 54 with an outlet opening 58 through which tape may be manually withdrawn from a supply roll (not shown) in the first cavity 54; a separating edge 60 positioned traverse o~ the path 54 at the juncture be~ween the f irst cavity 54 and the first path portion 57 so that as the tape is pulled around the separating edge 60 along the first path portion 57 and through the opening 58 it will be peeled from the liner while the motion of the tape will simultaneously push the separated liner away from the separating edge 60 a}ong a second portion 61 of the path 56 which connects to the first cavity 54 and extends in a direction opposite the first path portion 57; and a second
located at the end o~ the di~penser 10 opposite the generally pointed end portions of the ~i~e wall~ 27 and 2'~. The resultant ~hape allows the larger portion of the dispen~er adjacent the larger second cavity 30 to be S~ 33 colnfortclbly received in ~he palm o a users hand with the narrower end portion of the d:ispenser pointed away from I~L~ I.L~rcl ~!~lSy C~ S ~ arld Illani~ulation of ta~e 12 extending thrc~ugh the opening 26.
lrhe traverse ~alls 31 further include a project-in~ wall ~efining a tape supporting surface 32 located on the side of the opening 26 opposite ~he separating edge 24, which supporting surface 3~ is d~sposed at an angle with respect to the path 22 such that the portion of the tape 12 projecting out of the openinc; 26 will be biased into enga~ement with ~he supporting surface 32 by resiliency in the portion of the tape 1~ that is peeled away from the liner 16 at the openiny 26 ~which resiliency causes the tape 12 to move toward a position parallel to the irst portion of the path)~ This resiliency will cause the tape 12 ~o press against and be supported by the tape supporting surface 32 in a position projecting away ~rom the dispenser when tape 12 is not being withdrawn : ~roln the dispenser~ The tape 12 so supported on the tape supporting surface 32 may be easily grasped by a subsequen~ user of the dispenser 10.
- Means are provided ~or affording the manual application of tension to the tape 12 as the tape 12 is : withdrawll, which is useful when affixing ~he tape 12 to a sur~ace or severing ~ape via tape cutting mean~ later to be explained. A gap 34 is defined by the walls 18 between the first cavity 20 and the opening 26 alony the first -~rtion 23 of the path 22, which gap 34 allows the user to ~ nually engage the outer surface of the tape 12 and press thR tape 12 and liner 16 against an arcuate portion 35 of ~ila transverse walls 31 on the side of the first portion ~3 o~ the path 22 opposite the gap 34 as the tape is being withdrawn through the opening 24. The user may thu~
~ontrol ~he amount o tension in the ~ape 12 being applied 3S by controlling the pressure manually applied to pres~ the ta~ 12 a~3ainst the wall portion 35.

~ me d:i~penser :L0 includes tape cut~ing means for cu~ting the tape 12 when a desired length has been wi~ t:~wr~ cu~i.n~J Illean~ ~olllpri~e~ a blad~ ~6 having a concave cut~ing edge 38 mounted on the dispenser S L0 to permit tran~verse se~vcrin~ o~ ~he tape 1~ after it has been ~ulled throu~h the opening 26. The blade 36 is mounted perpendicularly between the opposing sur~aces of o~twardly projecting parts 40 o~ the generally pointed end portions of the two parallel side walls 27 and 2~. After a desired length of the tape 12 has been pulled from the openiny 26, the dispenser may be pivoted to rnove the blade 36 hetween the projecting parts 40 toward the tape after move~nent of tape out of the dispenser is stopped ~y manually pressing the tape against the wall porti4n 35 through the opening 24. As the concave cutting edge 38 is moved into engagement with the tape 12, the tape :L2 will be severed transver~ely from its opposite outside edges progressively towards its center to facilitate ease of severing of the tape 12.
For operation, the supply roll 14 is loaded into ~: the firs~ cavity 20 and ~he tape 12 and liner 16 are separated adjacent their ends and threaded along the first portion 23 of the path with the separated end of the tape : 12 projecting out of the opening 26 and the separaSed end of the liner 16 in the second portion 25 of the path 22 I.e~dint~ ~o the second cavity 30. The dispenser 10 is then closed by attachment o the second side wall 29, whereupon u~e~ ay grasp the dispenser 10 with one hand, and gra~p an(l pull out the desired length of tape 12 with the other lland. As the tape 12 i5 pulled out of the di~penser 10, tllQ 1iner 16 is separate~ at the separating edge 2~ and is push~d along the second por~ion ~5 of the path 22 into the .second cavity 30 where contact with the arcuate W2l11 sur~ace ~ causes it to ~orm a coil. ,The second side wall may be releasably attached to the transv.erse walls 31 as by screw~ or hooks so that when the tape 12 has all been dispensed the liner 16 may be removed from the aerond ,' -8~ 5~

Unlike the dispenser 10, however, the ; 10 digpenser 50 ~urther inclu~es a means for pressing the tape as it is withdrawn through the opening 58, comprising an outer arcuate surface 59 de~ined by the walls 52.
Refering to Figures 8 and 9 of the drawings, there is illustrated a third embodiment of a tape dispenser accordiny to the present invention generally designated by the reference numeral 80~
The dispenser 80 comprises walls 82 which de~ine a irst generally cylindrical cavity 84 adapted for storing a supply roll ~ tape convolutely wound with a 2a release liner between its coils; a second generally cylindrical cavity 92 having an arcuate inner wall surface 94 adapted to dir~ct liner pushed into the second cavity 92 to wind into a coil; a tape outle~ opening 88 through which tape may ~e withdrawn from the dispenser 80; and a path means or path 86 including a first portion 87 for connecting the ~irst cavity 84 and the opening 88 to guide tape being withdrawn rom the dispenser 80 through the op~ning ~, and a second portion 91 or connecting the cavities 84 and 92 to guide liner from the first cavity 84 30 into the second cavity 92 where the liner will ~trike the inner wall surface 94 of the second cavity 92 which will cause the liner ~o wind into a coil. The path portions 87 and 91 diverge at an edge 90 which divergance (and not the ed~e '30) provide~ means for separatin~ the line~ from tape ~eing withdrawn through the path portion.87 so th~t tape being wikhdrawn will propel the liner along the path portion 91 and into the second cavity 92.
