Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with tape dispensers of the kind used to apply a strip of a coating composition to a surface (WO 95/00 334).
  • the invention is described herein in relation to so-called correction tape dispensers which are used to lay down onto a paper surface a layer of thin material to cover a writing or typing mistake and hence facilitate correction of that mistake.
  • the tape dispensers disclosed herein could be used for applying other coating layers to a surface.
  • Tape dispensers have an applicator tip defining an edge around with the tape passes and which is used to press the tape against the paper surface.
  • the tape consists of a backing ribbon, e.g. of paper or plastics, which carries on one side a continuous layer of the coating composition.
  • the tape When the tape is pressed against the paper surface by the applicator edge and the edge is caused to move over the surface fresh tape is drawn from a supply of tape contained within a body of the dispenser, as the tape passes around the edge the coating composition is transferred from the backing ribbon to the paper surface so that a continuous strip of composition is deposited onto the paper, and the spent ribbon from which the coating composition has been removed is drawn back into the dispenser body for storage until the entire supply of tape has been consumed when the used ribbon, or possibly the entire dispenser is discarded.
  • the body of the dispenser forms a handle by means of which the dispenser is gripped in the hand by the user.
  • the present invention addresses this problem and as a solution it provides a tape dispenser comprising a handle within which are means for storing a supply of tape consisting of a backing ribbon carrying a coating composition, and backing ribbon from which the coating composition has been removed, an applicator with an edge around which the tape passes and arranged for pressing the tape against a surface to transfer the coating composition from the backing ribbon to said surface, the handle being coupled to the applicator to permit selective adjustment of the handle relative to the applicator edge between positions inclined in opposite directions with respect to a plane normal to the edge.
  • the handle is pivotally adjustable relative to the applicator between the positions which are most suitable for left hand and right hand use.
  • a detent mechanism may be provided to retain the handle in the selected adjustment position during normal use, so that the user is not required to take special steps, such as tightening any parts, to secure the handle position.
  • the detent mechanism is in the general form of a ratchet enabling the handle to be adjusted to any of several positions.
  • this has the advantage of allowing the user to select a range of handle inclinations according to personal preference for convenience and comfort in use.
  • the tape guide means are therefore preferably arranged to guide the tape through a position substantially coincident with the axis about which the handle is adjustable relative to the applicator. In this way the tape can be guided between the applicator edge and a position which is fixed relative thereto irrespective of the adjusted position of the handle.
  • the tape guiding means comprises a pair of cylindrical rollers with their rotational axes parallel to the pivot axis and their surfaces spaced apart sufficiently to enable the tape to run freely between them.
  • the illustrated tape dispenser comprises a body or handle 1 including a casing assembled from a base part 2 and a cover 3 secured together by fasteners, welding or by any other convenient means.
  • a pair of transverse spindles 4,5 supported between the base and cover and carrying respectively a supply spool 6 and a take up spool 7.
  • the spools include integral pulleys around which a continuous drive belt 8 is trained so that as fresh correction tape is drawn from the supply spool 6, the take up spool 7 is rotated to wind up the used backing ribbon.
  • a section of tape is guided to pass out of the casing, around an operative edge 10 of an applicator 12 which projects from the casing, and back into the casing.
  • the applicator has an arm 13 carrying a tip 11 which defines the edge 10, and the tip may be fixed on the arm or may be movably mounted to it to facilitate application of the correction composition to a surface, for example as described in WO 95/00 334 (Patent Application PCT/US94/06585).
  • the inner end of the arm carries part-cylindrical shell bearing elements 14 which are arranged to journal in circular recesses 15 provided on the inner surfaces of the base and cover of the casing so that the applicator and handle are relatively pivotable.
  • the confronting faces of the bearing elements and the casing journal recesses are formed with complementary detents, such as a series of pips around one face and a series of depressions around the other face, to form a ratchet system enabling the applicator 12 to be adjusted to any one of several positions between two extreme pivotal positions which are defined by the edges of the casing opening through which the applicator arm 13 protrudes.
  • the handle is adjustable to extend in directions inclined oppositely relative to a plane P normal to the edge 10.
  • a pair of rotatable guide rollers 16,17 Carried on each side of the applicator arm within the confines of the bearing elements is a pair of rotatable guide rollers 16,17 which are located opposite each other with respect to the pivot axis of the casing 1 and applicator 12.
  • the roller surfaces are spaced at a small distance apart to enable the tape to run freely between them.
  • the tape 18 consisting of the backing ribbon and correction composition passes through a position coincident with the pivotal axis and defined by the pair of guide rollers 16,17 on one side of the applicator arm, passes to and around edge 10 of the applicator tip 11, passes back to a position coincident with the pivotal axis and defined by the pair of guide rollers 16,17 on the other side of the applicator arm, and then passes to the take up spool 7.
  • the dispenser is held by the casing or handle, the edge 10 of the applicator tip is used to press the tape 18 against the paper surface, and the edge is caused to move across the surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the edge.
  • the correction composition becomes transferred from the backing ribbon to the paper surface, as the tip moves fresh tape being drawn from the supply spool 6 and backing ribbon 18' having passed around the tip edge and having therefore had the correction composition removed therefrom is wound up on the take up spool 7. In this way the correction composition is applied to the paper surfaces as a continuous strip 19 (Figs. 3 and 4).
  • the pivotal adjustment permitted between the applicator 12 and the handle 1 allows the handle to be readily adjusted from a position facilitating use by a right handed person, as shown in Figure 3, to a position facilitating use by a left handed person as shown in Figure 4. Furthermore, due to the ratchet system, the angle at which the handle needs to be held relative to the paper can be adjusted for maximum comfort by both left and right handed persons.
