Definitions
- a tape dispenser facilitating one hand dispensing of pressure sensitive adhesive tape directly onto a substrate and cutting of the tape immediately after dispensing about 1/8-1/4 inch off of the substrate, which overcomes many of the disadvantages of prior art dispensers.
- the dispenser according to the present invention by cutting the tape so close to the substrate on which it is dispensed is highly functional in many environments, and it includes nubs which straddle the cutting blade so as to prevent scarring of the substrate during dispensing.
- the dispenser preferably includes a two piece housing which allows the tape to be inserted and initially started in the dispenser without having to thread the tape through an opening.
- the tape is securely yet easily releasably held by a small area projection, rather than a large surface, which facilitates minimal force in detaching the piece of tape to start another dispensing action.
- the housing is particularly constructed with an aesthetic and highly functional toroid shape with a solid exterior, allowing the dispenser to be readily grasped and manipulated by the user.
- Centrally located tapered wall depressions of the toroid shaped housing are particularly advantageous in facilitating grip by a user which makes it easy to lay and press down the tape on the substrate, and to cut it after dispensing with a simple twisting action.
- the construction according to the invention is simple yet effective, and can be produced with minimum cost yet utilized with maximum effectiveness.
- a tape dispenser comprising the following elements: A plastic housing comprising a hollow interior substantially toroid shaped substantially solid exterior first portion for containing a roll of pressure sensitive adhesive tape, and a second portion comprising a hollow interior arm extending outwardly from the first portion and in communication with the hollow interior of the first portion.
- the arm has a distal part, a first substantially planar surface extending generally radially outwardly from the housing first portion, and a second surface opposite the first surface and having a curved tape pressing portion, the first and second surfaces meeting at the distal part.
- a metal serrated blade mounted to the distal part adjacent the curved tape pressing portion is preferred (although a molded plastic blade may be provided).
- An opening in the second surface between the curved tape pressing portion and the housing first portion allowing tape to pass therethrough from the housing first portion.
- a hub substantially centrally located in the hollow interior of the housing first portion for mounting a roll of pressure sensitive adhesive tape thereon.
- the second opening has a proximate edge closest to the housing first portion and a distal edge adjacent the curved tape pressing portion of the second surface.
- the dispenser also further comprises a tape adhesive-engaging projection extending from the second surface inwardly into the hollow interior of the arm at the opening proximate edge: the projection including a distal surface which extends into the hollow interior of the arm a sufficient distance to allow the adhesive face of tape being dispensed to adhere securely thereto after cutting and due to natural tape curl, yet does not interfere with dispensing of tape through the opening.
- the distal surface has an area that is less than 10Tc of the area of the second surface so as to allow tape to be removed therefrom with a minimal amount of force.
- the arm typically has side walls extending generally perpendicular to.
- the arm side walls each have a nub formed at a distal portion thereof, most remote rom the housing first portion, the nubs extending outwardly from the first and second surfaces a distance greater than how far the blade extends outwardly therefrom, and straddling the blade, so as to prevent the blade from scarring the substrate onto which tape is dispensed when the dispenser is twisted to effect cutting.
- the housing is preferably two piece, comprising first and second pieces. Each piece comprises part of the first and second housing portions.
- the hub may comprise a ribbed shaft extending between and engaging the first and second pieces, although the hub may instead be provided by short surfaces upstanding from and interior of each of the first and second pieces, or two telescoping ribbed cylinders one integral with each housing half.
- a substantially continuous seam is provided between the first and second pieces which may be held together by ultrasonic welding, a pin adjacent the distal part, or in other manners.
- the toroidal shaped first portion comprises a center axis, and also includes concentric tapered wall depressions formed at the center axis.
- the depressions provide comfortable finger location areas and improved grip.
- the depressions also may provide centering action to a roll of tape on the hub/shaft.
- a roll of pressure sensitive tape is typically mounted within the housing first portion on the hub/shaft and has a leading end portion thereof engaging the projection distal surface.
- a tape dispenser comprising the following elements: A plastic housing comprising a hollow interior first portion for containing a roll of pressure sensitive adhesive tape, and a second portion comprising a hollow interior arm extending outwardly from the first portion and in communication with the hollow interior of the first portion.
- the arm has a distal part, a first substantially planar surface extending outwardly from the housing first portion, and a second surface opposite the first surface and having a curved tape pressing portion, the first and second surfaces meeting at the distal part.
- a metal serrated blade mounted to the distal part adjacent the curved tape pressing portion.
- An opening in the second surface between the curved tape pressing portion and the housing first portion allowing tape to pass therethrough from the housing first portion, the opening having a proximate edge closest to the housing first portion, and a distal edge adjacent the curved tape pressing portion of the second surface.
- a hub substantially centrally located in the hollow interior of the housing first portion for mounting a roll of pressure sensitive adhesive tape thereon.
- a tape adhesive-engaging projection extending from the second surface inwardly into the hollow interior of the arm at the opening proximate edge, the projection including a distal surface, which extends into the hollow interior of the arm a sufficient distance to allow the adhesive face of tape being dispensed to adhere securely thereto after cutting and natural tape curl, yet does not interfere with dispensing of tape through the opening, and the distal surface having an area that is less than 10 ⁇ ⁇ c of the area of the second surface so as to allow tape to be removed therefrom with a minimal amount of force.

- the tape dispenser according to the present invention is shown generally by reference numeral 10 in FIGURES 1, 2, and 4 through 6.
- the dispenser comprises a plastic housing including a first portion 11, and a second, arm, portion 12.
- the first portion 11 has a hollow interior, as seen clearly in FIGURE 2, for example, for receipt of a roll of pressure sensitive adhesive tape.
- the first portion 11 has -- as illustrated in FIGURES 1, 2, and 4 through 6 - a substantially toroid shape, and substantially solid exterior (i.e. no large openings as in prior art dispensers, into which fingers would necessarily be inserted).
- the substantially toroid shape is aesthetic and also is advantageous for facilitating griping of the dispenser during use thereof, as illustrated in FIGURES 4 through 6.
- the substantially toroid shape and solid exterior being smooth, continuous and contoured, does not present rough edges, large depressions or holes, or projections which can make grasping of the dispenser 10 uncomfortable. Rather because of its sleek, contoured, smooth nature, it can be used by a worker for long periods of time, for example for sealing boxes with tape, without discomfort.
- the depressions 14 have tapering walls, such as shown generally by reference numeral 15, and are smooth, and concentric with each other. They have a generally conical configuration [see FIGURE 7].
- the housing first portion 11 also includes a hub for mounting a roll of tape within the hollow interior of the housing first portion 11.
- the roll of tape is mounted on the hub, preferably concentric with the depressions 14.
- the hub can have a wide variety of configurations, including a pair of generally cylindrical stubs extending inwardly from the depressions 14, the preferred form illustrated in the drawings (see FIGURE 2 in particular) the hub comprises a shaft 16 having a plurality of ribs 17 thereon.
- the ribs 17 allow the tape to rotate on a core surrounding the shaft 16, but also provide a precise amount of friction to prevent any slack tape inside of the housing part 11. This prevents the tape from getting stuck to the inside of the housing 11.
- the arm 12 extends outwardly from the first portion 11, and preferably comprises a first, generally planar surface 19 which extends substantially radially outwardly from the first portion 11, and has a distal part, shown generally by reference numeral 20.
- a second surface 21 is opposite the first surface 19, and includes a curved surface portion 22 comprising a pressing portion, for pressing tape down on a substrate to which it is applied.
- the pressing down surface 22 is adjacent the distal part 20.
- a serrated blade 24 is preferably of metal, but may be of molded plastic and either part of, or attached to, one of the housing portions 11, 12.
- the blade 24 is attached to the first surface 19 by any suitable means such as adhesive, interlocking projections, using the natural spring qualities of the blade material trapped between protruding parts of one housing portion (11, 12), or the like.
- An opening through which the tape extends from the housing portion 11 to be dispensed is provided in the surface 21 adjacent the tape pressing portion 22.
- the opening shown generally by reference numeral 26 in FIGURE 3, includes a proximate edge 27 which is nearest the housing portion 11, and a distal edge 28 which is closest to the distal part 20 of the arm 12.
- the surface 22 extends substantially from the distal edge 28 to the blade 24, preferably a distance of about 0.4-1.5 inches.
- the curvature of the surface 22 is such that normally as the main strip of tape is being dispensed (see FIGURE 4) the first surface 19 makes an angle of about 30° with respect to the substrate on which the tape is being dispensed.
- the tape it is desirable to be able to hold the leading edge of the tape, after cutting, in place so that it extends outwardly through the opening 26.
- This desirable goal is accomplished by providing a projection 30 which extends into the hollow interior of the arm 12 ⁇ as seen in FIGURES 1 through 3 ⁇ from the proximate edge 27 of the opening 26.
- the projection 30 has a distal surface 31 - see FIGURE 2 -- which is small in size, that is less than 10% of the total area of the surface 21, and it engages the adhesive on a piece of tape held within the housing portion 11, yet does not interfere with dispensing the tape.
- the projection 30 extends into the hollow interior of the arm 12 a distance of less than about 0.2 inches, and the distal surface 31 has an area that is less than .25 square inches.
- the arm 12 also is formed by a pair of side walls 34, 35 extending generally perpendicularly to, and connecting, the surfaces 19, 21. As seen most clearly in FIGURES 1-3, the side walls 34, 35 have projecting nubs 36, 37 at the distal part 20 (most remote from the housing first portion 11).
- the nubs 36, 37 extend outwardly from the surfaces 19, 21 a distance greater than how far the blade 24 extends outwardly therefrom, and straddle the blade 24. Thus the nubs 36, 37 prevent the blade 24 from scarring the substrate onto which tape is being dispensed when the dispenser 10 is twisted to effect cutting.
- the housing including both parts 11, 12 thereof, is two piece, having a first piece 40, and a second piece 41.
- the pieces 40, 41 have a seam 43 is formed between them.
- the seam 43 may include one or more zigzag portions 44, which facilitate keying of the pieces 40, 41 together, and facilitate holding of the pieces together once keyed together.
- the zigzag construction also imparts extra rigidity to the entire dispenser 10, helping to prevent shear forces during the " twist-cut” action of the dispenser 10 during use (as described with respect to FIGURE 6, below).
- the stepped (zigzag) wall portions may have straight surfaces as illustrated, or the horizontal surfaces thereof may have a slight angle to them to improve the strength of the joint (seam 43) when compressed if the wall thickness of pieces 40, 41 (typically about 1.2 mm) allows it.
- the construction with zigzag portions 44 allows one piece — 40 — to define the entire projection 30, and the other piece -- 41 -- to define the surface 22 and distal portion 20 of arm 12 for mounting the blade 24.
- the shaft 16 is connected to the first piece 40 and when the pieces 40, 41 are assembled abuts (or comes close to) the interior of the depression 14 of the second piece 41.
- the shaft 16, preferably of the same plastic as the pieces 40, 41, preferably molded (e.g. injection molded) as part of the first piece 40 when piece 40 is formed, but may alternatively be affixed to the piece 41 by an adhesive, ultrasonic welding, or any other suitable technique.
- Means are provided for holding the pieces 40, 41 together.
- the pieces 40, 41 may be held together essentially permanently, so that after the dispenser 10 dispenses the roll of tape that it is sold with, it is discarded; or any suitable conventional mechanism may be provided for releasably holding the parts together so that the dispenser may be disassembled and a new roll inserted in place of the old roll after it is exhausted.
- One exemplary mechanism for holding the pieces 40, 41 together comprises ultrasonic welding along the seam 43; another is an interference fit between the portions 40. 41 along seam 43: another exemplary means comprises adhesive; perhaps preferred is friction fits of pin and shaft components of the portions 40, 41. as described with respect to FIGURES 2, 7 and 8. Since it is particularly important to hold the pieces 40. 41 securely together adjacent the distal part 20, a pin 45 (see FIGURE 2) may be provided connecting the side walls 34, 35 together and affixed to both (e.g. by friction, adhesive, and/or ultrasonic welding).
- the tape free end need not be threaded through the opening 26, but rather it may merely be slid into an open channel defining the majority of the opening 26, before the pieces 40, 41 are keyed and affixed together.
- FIGURE 4 illustrates an exemplary use of the dispenser 10 in dispensing pressure sensitive adhesive tape 49.
- the tape 49 has one surface 50 which typically does not have adhesive (although the dispenser 10 may be utilized for dispensing double faced adhesive tape), and another face having adhesive 51 thereon, as schematically illustrated in FIGURE 4.
- Dispensing action is initiated merely by placing the free portion of the tape 49 which extends through the opening 26, which engages the distal surface 31 of the projection 30, into contact with a substrate 52 (see FIGURE 4).
- the length of the tape outside of the opening 26 is equal to the distance between the opening 26 and the blade 24, e.g. about 0.4-1.5 inches.
- an operator grasps the substantially toroidal shaped
- the depressions 14 and substantially solid exterior are particularly useful at this juncture since they facilitate ready grasping of the housing portion 11 by the operator's hands/fingers.
- the depressions 14 also facilitate the
- twisting action causes the tape 49, which is engaging the blade 24 at that point, between the nubs 36, 37, to be cut by the blade 24, with the free portion 58 (see FIGURE 6) of the tape extending outwardly from the arm 12 adhere to the projection
- the nubs 36, 37 prevent scarring of the substrate 52 during the twisting in the direction of arrow 57.
- the tape 49 is cut about l/S-1/4 inch off the substrate 52, making it certain that tape 49 will stay where placed even at the end of the dispensing stroke, and providing only a small end portion 59 - see FIGURE 6 -- which need be pressed
- FIGURE 7 shows another modification of the tape dispenser, 10', according to the present invention, having a particular construction of the hub and a particular mechanism for holding the housing sections 40, 41 together.
- components that are the same as those of the FIGURES 1 through 3 embodiment are shown by the same reference numeral.
- the hub is formed by two concentric, telescoping, interlocking tubular elements 61, 62.
- the element 61 is integral with the housing section 41 (e.g. having been injection molded therewith) while the section 62 is integrally molded with the housing section 40.
- the exterior diameter of the tubular section 61 is approximately the same as the interior diameter of the section 62 so that there is a tight, friction, interference fit between them.
- ribs may be provided extending radially from the exterior surface of the tubular section 61 and axially extending therealong to engage the interior surface of the cylinder 62 to provide a friction fit.
- ribs 63 preferably are provided at spaced locations around the exterior circumference of the tubular section 62 for engaging the interior core of a roll of tape.
- the FIGURE 7 embodiment also comprises a female pin/tube 65 which is integral with the housing section 41, and a male pin 66 which is integral with the section 40, and which mate together adjacent the distal part 20 of the tape dispenser 10' of FIGURE 7.
- the pins 65, 66 also have a friction interference fit between them. The combination of the interference fit between the pins 65, 66 and the tubes 61, 62, alone will securely hold the housing sections 40, 41 together along the seam 43. These friction fits will also allow separation of the components 40. 41 (although with significant difficulty) to allow replacement of a used roll of tape.
- FIGURE 8 is a modification of the tape dispenser, showing only the arm portion 12 of the housing section 41 thereof, having the interference fit between the pins 65, 66, and also showing a different construction for mounting the blade 24.
- the blade 24 is of metal (e. g. spring steel), but includes the elongated extension 68.
- the projection 70 is integral with the housing section 41, opposite the surface 22, while the projection 71 is integral with the female pin/sleeve 65.
- the projections 70, 71 being as placed in FIGURE 8, combined with the natural spring action of the metal forming the extension 68 of the blade 24, positively position the blade 24 in place between the nubs 36, 37.
- FIGURE 9 illustrates a dispenser 10" which only slightly departs from the dispenser 10.
- Dispenser 10 has “feet” which allow the dispenser 10" to stand with the tape being dispensed off any surface, so that the tape will not inadvertently stick to a surface on which the unit is placed.
- the feet are shown generally by reference numeral 75 in FIGURE 9, shown keeping the entire arm section 12, particularly adjacent the distal part 20 thereof, off a surface on which the housing first portion 11 rests.
- the feet 75 may have a wide variety of configurations.
- One embodiment, illustrated in FIGURE 10, of feet 75 comprises a first portion 76 integrally molded (i. e.
- "Feet" 75 also includes a third integrally molded portion 77 also molded with both the housing portions 40, 41 and providing a third support surface, so that a more or less "tripod " support is provided, which will ensure that the arm 12 is supported off the surface with the feet portions 76, 77 engage but without causing any significant discomfort to a user dispensing tape with the dispenser 10", and without otherwise adversely affecting its functionality.
- FIGURE 11 An alterative embodiment for the feet is shown generally at 75 ' in FIGURE 11.
- a soft rubberized (or soft plastic, c. g. an elastomer) body 78 is either adhesively secured to the housing portion 11 or held in some other manner, e. g. by a groove (not shown) in one of the housing sections 40, 41 cooperating with a projection (not shown) on the body 78.
- the upstanding portions 79, 80 of the body 78 engage the surface to support the arm 12 off the surface.
- the feet 75, 75' will typically be placed at approximately the lengthwise center of gravity of the dispenser 10", typically just in front of (toward the arm 12) the vertical center line of the tape hub up to about 3/8 inch toward the arm 12. This positioning is seen clearly in FIGURE 9.
