Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A dispenser for adhesive tape, and the like, has a spool arrange-ment supported by a base member and disposed for receiving a roll of tape.
A cap including a head portion and a plug portion removably retains a roll of tape on a spindle partially forming the spool arrangement, which spindle has a recess in an end surface thereof for selectively receiving the plug portion of the cap. The base member is selectively mountable on a wall surface, and the like, as by suitable fasteners or by an adhesive, and the like. Also provided on the base member, in addition to the spool arrangement, is a double-edge cutting arrangement disposed for severing tape wound in either tangential direction from a roll journaled on the spindle of the spool arrangement.

Description
--` Jl~'X75S
This invention relates generally to tape dispensers, and particularly to a tape dispenser especially suited for being mounted on a substantially vertical wall surface, such as the side of a cash register, and the like.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a tape dispenser particularly suited for dispensing tape when mounted on a substantially vertical surface.
It is another object of the present invention to pro-vide a tape dispenser which can be mounted in either opposite direction relative to an operator without affecting the efficien_ cy of the dispenser to perform its intended function.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a tape dispenser which can ~e readily affixed to, for example, suitable vertical surfaces, and the like~
These and other objects are achieved according to the present invention by providing a dispenser for adhesive tape, and the like, comprising in combination: (a) spool means for receiving a roll of tape; (b~ mounting means supporting the spool means; and ~c~) cutting means provided on the mounting means for severing tape wound from a roll arrangeable on the spool means, the mounting means including a base member having a pair of spaced, plana~ faces arranged converging toward one another, the cutting means and spool means being disposed on one of the faces, and the faces converging toward one another from the cutting means toward the spool means for making a pull on tape being dispensed slightly away from the plane of the other of the faces, The spool arrangement may include a spindle affixed to the mounting arrangement, with the spindle having a substantial-ly cylindrical bearing surface which receives the roll of tapeto be dispensed, The spindle further has an end surface spaced ; from the mounting arrangement and provided with a recess, The spindle arrangement further includes a tape roll retaining cap 'P~
3 3L~27~5 ~o~prising a roll restraining head portion and a plug portion attached to and oriented extending from the head portion, with the plug portion being removabl;y arrangeable in the recess pro-vided in the end surface of the spindle for retaining the tape roll on the spindle, Figure l is a fragmentary, perspective view showing a tape dispenser according to the present invention mounted on a vertical wall surface.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary, sectional view taken gen-erally along the line 2-2 of Fig, 1, Figure 3 is a sectional view taken generally along the line 3-3 of Fig, 2, Referring now more particularly to the figures of the drawinq, a dispenser 10 for adhesive tape, and the like, of conventional construction comprises a spool 12 arranged for receiving a roll 14 of suitable tape, A mounting arrangement 16 supports spool 12, wh~le a cutting assembly 18 provided on mounting arrangement 16 severs tape 20 would from roll 14~
Spool 12 includes a spindle 22 affixed to mounting arrangement 16, with spindle-22 having a substantially cylindri-cal bearing surface 24 arranged for receiving the roll 14 of tape. Spindle 22 further has an end surface 26 spaced from the mounting arrangement 16 and provided with a recess 28 there-in, The spool 12 further includes a tape roll retaining cap 30 comprising a roll restraining head portion 32 and a plug portion 34, with the latter being removably arrangeable in recess 28 for permitting head portion 32 to retain roll 14 on spindle 22 Mounting arrangement 16 includes a base member 36 having a pair of ,_ : ~2-Z75~i spaced, planar faces 38 and 40 arranged converging toward one another. The cutting assembly 18 and spindls 22 are dispo~ed on face 40, and faces 38 and 40 converge toward one another fram the cutting as~embly 18 toward 3pindle 22 for making the pull on tape 20 slightly aw~y from the plane of face 38. This slight pull away from the attachment of base member 36 makes it easier to handle tape 20 during a dispensing operation.
Base member 36 can be unted on 8 vertical surface as by provision of a plurality of holes 42, four such holes 42 belng shown, 90 as to permit base member 36 to be attached to a suitable wall 44 with ~ace 38 abutting same as by the use of t~e illus~rated nails 46J or screw fasteners (not shown~, or the like. Alternatively, base member 36 could be provided with a, for example, conventlonal double-faced adhesive tape (not shown) and adhered to wall 44.
Cutting assembly 18 includes a cutting platform 48 cantilever mounted on face 40 of base member 36, and provided with two spaced, oppositely directed cutting edges S0 and 50' arranged for selectively severing tape 20 depending on the orientation of the roll 14 of tape on the spindle 22 of spool 12. Th~t is, i~ the roll 14 were reversed from the orientation seen in Figs. 1 and 2 ; of the drawing, edge 50 would be severing tape 20 instead of edge 50' as ~-illustrated.
As can be readily under~tood i'ron the above description and irom the drawing, a tape dispenser according to the present invention can be readily affi~ed to a convenlent location and tape dispensed therefrom. Further, the dispenser is not llmited to a particular orientation on the vertical or other-wise oriented surface on which it is unted.
