Definitions

• 6,742,562 (Pitzen), but includes a novel pressure application structure that can apply the tape at exact desired locations with great accuracy, and can apply the tape while moving the device in either of two directions along the surface to be protected, but does not require providing as close a tolerance between tape contact parts of inner surfaces for housing side portions and a roll of tape to be applied by the device, thereby better accommodating the wide variance in widths of different production rolls of tape of the same nominal width.
• the device according to the present invention comprises a housing adapted to receive the roll of tape, which housing has a guide surface adapted to be slid along the surface to be protected and comprises at least one and preferably two housing portions, each of which housing portions has a tape contact part of an inner surface for the housing portion in a first plane, and has in a second plane a guide part of an outer surface for the housing portion adapted to be slid along the surface to be treated.
• Figure ' 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a device according to the present invention being used to apply tape from a roll of tape along a surface to be protected with an edge of the tape extending along a juncture between the surface to be protected and a surface to be treated that is disposed at about a right angle with respect to the surface to be protected;
• Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the device of Figure 1;
• Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the device of Figure 1 taken approximately along line 3-3 of Figure 1;
• Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view of the device of Figure 1 taken approximately along line 4-4 of Figure 1;
• Figure 5 is a perspective view of the device of Figure 1 which has been modified by adding a handle;
• Figure 6 is an exploded perspective view of a second embodiment of a device according to the present invention;
• Figure 7 is an enlarged sectional view of the device of Figure 6 taken approximately along line
• the pressure rollers 34 are mounted on the housing 24 for rotation about their common axis 36, with the peripheral surfaces 35 of the pressure rollers 34 generally in alignment.
• the pressure rollers 34 are also mounted on the housing 24 for pivotal movement about a pivot axis 41 along and transverse to the axis 36 of the rollers 34 midway between the rollers 34. That pivotal movement is preferably only in a plane at about a right angle with respect to a plane along the guide surface 32 and is limited to movement over a small pivot angle (i.e., in the range of plus or minus 1/2 to 4 degrees or preferably about plus or minus about
• each pressure roller 34 is slightly tapered away from its outer edge 37 (e.g., by about 4.5 degrees) so that its peripheral surface 35 will be disposed at an angle in the range of about 80 to 90 degrees (and preferably about 89.5 degrees) with respect to the adjacent second plane 30 when the common axis 36 of the rollers 34 is pivoted its maximum amount to move that roller 34 toward the top side 33 of the housing 24.
• This angle helps to insure that the peripheral surface 35 of the roller 35 can apply firm pressure on the backing of tape being applied by the device 10 along the width of the roller 35 with a higher pressure being applied at and adjacent its outer edge 37.
• the tape contact part 28 of the inner surface for each housing portion 26 along a different one of the side surfaces 22 of the roll 16 of tape can be defined by ridges 40 extending radially from the axis 19 of the roll 16 of tape. Those ridges 40 restrict adhesion to the ridges 40 of adhesive that sometimes migrates to the side surfaces 22 of the roll 16 of tape.
• FIGS. 6, 7, and 8 illustrate a second embodiment for a device 60 according to the present invention that includes an alternative structure for mounting two pressure rollers
• the axle 66 has an annular portion 68 of reduced diameter midway between the rollers 61, which annular portion 68 of reduced diameter has a concave arcuate surface.
• the rollers 61, the axle 66, and the concave arcuate surface of the annular portion 68 are coaxial about an axis 62.
• the axle 66 is positioned between closely spaced parallel planar surfaces 70 on portions on one of the portions 26a of the housing 24a, and that portion 26a of the housing 24a has a support ridge 72 extending along an axis transverse of the common axis of the rollers 61 midway between the rollers 61, which support ridge 72 has a convex arcuate surface that is received in the portion 68 of reduced diameter on the axle 66.
