The first cover 300 includes a first cover perimeter 320. At least a portion of the first cover perimeter 320 extends beyond the tape roll housing perimeter 207 to form a first lateral flange 330. The first cover 300 completely covers the tape roll housing 200 to restrict access to the roll of tape 500 contained therein. The second cover 400 includes a second cover perimeter 420. In this embodiment, the second cover perimeter 420 extends beyond the outer casing perimeter 207 to form a second lateral flange 430. The second cover 400 completely covers the tape roll housing 200 to restrict access to the roll of tape 500 contained therein. In this embodiment, the first cover 300 or the second cover 400 does not include a tape core support 440. Instead, the tape roll housing 200 fully contains the tape roll 500. The tape dispenser 100 includes a tape dispensing mechanism 210 that includes a dispenser opening 211 (which is in the protective wall 146514.doc 201033105 206 of the tape roll housing 200) and a cutting edge 212. In one embodiment, the cutting edge 212 does not extend beyond the length of the lateral flanges 330, 430. This provides a more securely positioned cutting edge 2 12 . Figure 7 is an exploded perspective view of a tape dispenser 100. When assembled, the tape dispenser 100 appears essentially as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The tape dispenser 100 includes a tape roll housing 200, a first cover 300, and a second cover 400. In this embodiment, the second cover 400 is shown as being secured to the tape roll housing 200. Additionally, in this embodiment, instead of the connection inspections, the first cover 300 includes a attachment surface 310 that mates and engages the tape roll housing 200 through a friction fit. The first cover 300 includes a first cover perimeter 3 20 . At least a portion of the first cover perimeter 320 extends beyond the tape roll housing perimeter 207 to form a first lateral flange 330 (Fig. 3). The first cover 300 completely covers the tape roll housing 200 to restrict access to the roll of tape 500 contained therein. The second cover 400 includes a second cover perimeter 420. In this embodiment, the second cover perimeter 420 extends beyond the outer casing perimeter 207 to form a second lateral flange 430 (Fig. 3). The second cover 400 completely covers the tape roll housing 200 to restrict access to the roll of tape 500 contained therein. In this embodiment, the second cover 400 includes a tape core support 440. However, as shown in Fig. 1, the tape core support 440 is not at the center of the second cover 400. Instead, the tape core support 440 is off-center. Thus, if the dispenser 100 is positioned upright (as shown in FIG. 3) on a table top, table top or other similar surface, the weight of the tape 500 on the tape core support 440 will tend to cause the tape to be applied The adapter maintains I46514.doc -10- 201033105 stationary and does not scroll on the surface. It will be appreciated that this feature may be provided in the previously described embodiments. In this embodiment, the holding legs 601, 6〇2 are further shown. The solid legs 601, 6〇2 are extended outwardly along the periphery of the first cover plate 300. The retaining legs 601, 602 are also located on the periphery of the second cover 4, but are not visible in this view. The retaining legs 6〇1, 6〇2 provide a stabilizing surface that allows the tape dispenser 1 to be positioned upright (as shown in Figure 3) without rolling on a surface. It will be appreciated that a variety of sizes and numbers of such locating feet can be included and that the locating feet can be projections from the tape roll housing 200. It will be appreciated that this feature can be provided in the previously described embodiment commands. Further identified in this embodiment is the landing surface (landing = faCe) 2 () 9. - The landing surface is attached to one of the surfaces before the cutting edge (4) tape is used. For example, the t' tape is pulled from the dispenser opening 21 to the desired length, and then the user engages the tape against the landing.

The cutting edge is considered to have a x. direction along the longitudinal length of the force cutter and a y direction along the upward direction of the cutting edge which is greater than the substantially radial extent of 0P. In general, the conventional Schweiz Court configuration has an onion surface that is parallel to the longitudinal X direction of the cutting edge but perpendicular to the y direction. However, as shown here, the landing surface 209 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the X direction, but is also parallel to the knife. The blade is generally axially y-direction. In other embodiments, the landing surface and the cutting edge do not have to be completely flat with each other at an angle of 0 to 90 degrees with respect to each other. A parallel alignment of the surface of the dome can be allowed to adhere to the landing surface 2〇9 by the tape 146514.doc 201033105 and adhere to the cutting blade 212 to form a "tent J.
