4 Claims. (Cl. 216-33) Thisinvention relates to a tape dispenser for'p'ressure sensitive adhesive tape and it has particular relation to a dispenser for pressure sensitive tape, such as masking tape employed by painters and decorators.
The primary object of the invention resides in providing a device by which the masking tape may be dispensed directly from the roll onto a surface to which it is to be applied, in the manner and position required or desired.
Another object of the invention resides in providing a device in which the body of the device is positioned at an angle greater than 90 degrees, with respect to the tape guiding or applying member. A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a dispenser that is novel in construction, economical to produce and efficient in operation. These and other objects may be inferred from the nature of the invention.
In painting or decorating surfaces, in which two or more colors are employed or where it is desired to protect one surface from paint while painting another, such as the interior of a building or the like, it is important that such protective covering may be easily and efficiently applied. Briefly stated, the tape dispenser of my invention comprises a back member terminating in a flange at the bottom thereof. A centrally disposed tube-like member, for supporting a roll of masking tape is secured to and extends beyond the back member. The flange member is slotted to provide three sections, namely, a central section of substantial length and two relatively short sections which are provided to afiix or apply the tape. The central member of the flange is disposed at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the back and the two short sections are formed at an angle greater than 90 degrees with respect to the back.
For a better understanding of the invention reference may now be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which- Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of a dispenser formed in accordance with the invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the invention, taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of a modified form of the invention.
Fig. 4 is a schematic view showing the invention in position for operation at the juncture of two wall sections, and
Fig. 5 is a view such as shown in Fig. 4, except it is opposite hand.
In practicing the invention, a relatively thin material is employed to provide a back having a centrally disposed opening 11, through which extends, at right angles to the back, a hollow circular member 12 for supporting a roll of masking tape or the like. The member 12 is secured to the back, with the diameter of the member 12 sufficiently large to provide a hand hold in operating the dispenser. It is to be noted that the member 12 projects beyond the back, as indicated at 13, which in a great way improves the handling of the dispenser. Extending inwardly from the bottom of the back is a flange member the 'back, and as shown is provided with slotted openings 16, forming a center flange portion "17 and relativelysh'ort tl- ange members 18 and 19 for applying or afiixing the ape.
As shown in Fig; 2, the center portion17-of the flange is bent at a degree angle with respect to the back, with the members 18 and 19 benta't an'angle greater than 90 degrees. Pin's or rollers 22' and 23 mounted on the back arepositione'd in-spaced relation, above and adjacent to the slots 16, of the flange. An outercasing-25 is mounted on the back adjacent the outer edges of the back. As shown, the casing is substantially'circular' in form and when mounted is spaced from the member 12; thus providing a roll retaining area. A spacer 26 may be provided to maintain a space between the masking tape and the lback member, which will materially reduce the friction or pull necessary in the operation of the dispenser. A serrated edge 29 is conveniently positioned on the ends of the guides for use in severing any desired length of tape which has been removed from the roll.
In operation, a device as described above has a roll of masking tape 30 placed on the support member 12, then passed over one of the pins, through one of the slots 16 and under one of the tape applying members. As shown in Fig. 1, this combination consists of the pin 22, slot 16 and guide 18. An end of the tape is applied to a surface to be protected, as Fig. 4, the surface to be protected is adjacent the juncture of another wall or surface. The surface to be protected being at right angles to the adjoining wall. It will be seen that the operating position of the device is such that with the short flange members positioned in engagement with the surface to be protected and the angle between the short flange members and the back being greater than 90 degrees, the tape will not only be applied properly along the wall but the device when in the operating position will have the top of the device spaced from the adjoining surface, so that a free and easy application may be had of the tape.
Fig. 3 a modified form, which the invention may assume provides an outer casing 35 terminating at the bottom thereof in curved portions 36 over which the tape may pass before positioning under the tape applying members. Fig. 5 is an opposite hand view to that of Fig. 4 and in this the tape is reversed on the support 12, passed over pin or roller 23, through slot 16, then under member 19 for contact with the surface to be protected.
From the foregoing description the many uses and advantages of this invention will be apparent to those familiar with the art.
It is to be understood that the forms of the invention herewith shown and described are merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the invention and that such changes as fall within the purview of one skilled in the art may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A tape dispenser for pressure sensitive adhesive tape comprising a back, a tape supporting member secured to the back, an outer casing mounted on the back in spaced relation with the tape supporting member to form an open faced structure and tape applying members extending at an angle from the bottom of the back a distance substantially equal to the width of the tape, the angle between the tape applying members and the back being greater than 90 degrees.
2. A tape dispenser for pressure sensitive adhesive tape comprising a back having a centrally disposed opening therein, a tube like member, for supporting a roll of tape, extending through said opening, an outer casing mounted adjacent the outer edges of the back to form an open faced structure and tape applying members extending at an angle from the bottom of the back a distance substantially equal to the width of the tape, the angle between the tape applying members and the back being greater than 90 degrees.
3. A tape dispenser for pressure sensitive adhesive tape comprising a back having a centrally disposed opening therein, a tube like member, for supporting a roll of tape, extending through said opening, a spacer mounted on the roll supporting member adjacent the back, to retain the roll of tape spaced from the back, an outer casing mounted on the outer edges of the back to form an open faced structure and tape applying members extending at an angle from the bottom of the back a distance substantially equal to the width of the tape, the angle between the 15 tape applying members and the back being greater than 90 degrees.
4. A tape dispenser for pressure sensitive adhesive tape comprising a back having a centrally disposed opening 10 back above the openings formed by the spacing of the tape applying members from the ends of the flange.
