Description
July 14, 1964 A. z. SEROR 3,140,805
TAPE DISPENSER Filed April 29, 1963 INVENTOR fies/P7- Z. Smoa ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,140,805 TAPE DISPENSER Albert z. Seror, 1535 N. Clark St., Chicago, n1. Filed Apr. 29, 1963, Ser. No. 276,277 1 Claim. (31. 225-66) This invention relates to tape dispensers and has particular reference to a device for holding a roll of coiled tape and releasing a strip therefrom. The device is particularly useful as a dispenser for pressure sensitive tape.
It is an object of the invention to provide a tape dispenser for a roll of coiled tape from which a strip of tape may be peeled therefrom and severed, leaving a small portion of the tape free for convenience in grasping when another length of tape is desired from the roll.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a tape dispenser which is simple in operation, economical to manufacture, may accommodate tape rolls of various size, and the parts of which may be very easily assembled.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the following description thereof and from an examination of the accompanying drawing which illustrates one embodiment of the invention and in which similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of the device embodying the invention.
FIGURE 2 is a view similar to FIGURE 1 showing a length of tape being severed from the device.
FIGURE 3 is an exploded view of the separable parts of the device, clearly indicating the mode of assembly.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, the reference numeral indicates generally a dispenser for pressure sensitive tape embodying the invention. In this dispenser, a holder for a roll of coiled tape is formed from a single strip of material bent to include a pair of parallel side walls 11 and 12 connected by an end wall 14, a portion of which is cut away so that it is narrower than the side walls, as clearly indicated in the drawings. In each of these side Walls are pairs of spaced axially aligned holes 16 so that a pin or screw bolt 18 may be inserted therein for supporting the walls on opposite sides of a roll of coiled tape with the screw bolt passing through the central opening of the coil. The screw bolt is formed of two parts, one a screw threaded male member and the other a hollow internally screw threaded female member, so that when the parts are screw threadedly united, it holds the sides in proper spaced relation on opposite sides of the coil of tape 15.
A pair of aligned holes 34 is formed through the walls 11 and 12 near the upper outer corner of the upper and side edges of said walls. These openings 34 are at the upper end of bayonet indents 32, the upper ends of said indents communicating with said holes 34 and the indents extend downwardly therefrom parallel with the edges of the sides for a short distance and then are turned at substantially right angles thereto to the edge of the sides.
In the application of the invention shown, there are three sets of holes 16 in spaced relation along the length of the sides 11 and 12. When a roll of tape 15 is placed therein the bolt 18 is placed through that pair of holes 16 which is closest to the internal wall of the roll, as shown in FIGURES 1 and 2.
A pressure and guide portion is indicated at 24, which is also formed from a single blank of material, having a body portion comprising a manipulating flange 30, a pressure portion 27, and an intermediate portion which has a pair of wings 25 issuing laterally from the side edges of the intermediate portion and turned normal thereto, as shown particularly in FIGURE 3. These wings are semi-circular at their ends and at the center of radius thereof are formed with outwardly pressed beads 26 which act as small journals for pivotally mounting the guide portion 24 in the holes 34. The wings 25 are spaced apart a distance substantially equal to the space between the sides 11 and 12. When the portion 24 is applied to the sides 11 and 12, the wings 25 are placed between the sides with the beads 26 engaged in the indents 32 and slid therealong until the beads 26 snap into the holes 34. The guide portion 24 is made of a spring-like material so that the wings will not permanently deform when applied to or removed from the sides 11 and 12, and thus the beads 26 will snap into and stay in the holes 34 forming a pivotal connection with the holder portion of the device.
It is obvious that to more securely hold the roll of coiled tape in the holder, the coil may be provided with a circular disc to snugly fill the hollow center of the coil. The disc has an axial hole therethrough through which may extend the bolt 18, to support the disc and its roll of tape in the holder.
In operation a roll of coiled tape 15 is placed between the sides 11 and 12 of the holder and the screw bolt 18 is placed through the pair of holes 16 so that the bolt will be as nearly as possible against the inside of the roll. The end of the tape on the roll is then peeled off over the web 14 with the tacky side of the tape down on the web 14. Then the pressure portion 24 is applied so that the beads 26 are in the holes 34. When it is desired to remove a length of tape from the roll, the end of the tape will be lifted from the web 14 and pulled, as shown in FIGURE 1, until the desired length has been peeled off the roll, when the pressure portion 27 will be pressed down on the tape forcing it onto the web 14, when the tape can then be severed along the serrated edge of the portion 27. It will be noted that the serrated edge of the portion 27 projects over the edge of the web 14, so that when the tape is severed, a short length thereof will extend over the edge of the web 14, for easy grasping when another length of tape is desired from the roll, this being a principal feature of the invention.
It is therefore apparent that I have devised an exceedingly simple and inexpensive dispenser for coiled tape especially adaptable for use with the larger rolls of masking tape and the like.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A dispenser for pressure sensitive tape, comprising in combination a pair of side walls, an end wall for supporting said side walls spaced so that a roll of tape can be held therebetween, means extending between said walls for supporting a coiled roll of pressure sensitive tape, a pair of axially aligned holes through said side walls adjacent said end wall, a guide portion having a pair of wings removably pivotally mounted in said holes, a pressure portion issuing from said guide portion and extending over said end wall for holding a length of tape against said end wall while being severed by the end of said pressure portion, said pressure portion extending beyond the edge of said end wall for severing the tape and leaving a portion of tape extending over the edge of said end wall for convenience in grasping when another length of tape is desired, said wings provided with beads forming small journals for holding the guide portion pivotally mounted within the holes in the side walls, and bayonet shaped indents communicating with said holes and the edge of said side walls to form a track for said beads in applying the guide portion to the holder.
