Abstract: Herein are disclosed methods and assemblies for adhesively mounting an article to two walls that meet at an angle (e.g., a corner). The methods and assemblies use first and second mounting plates that are deflectably and removably attachable to the article, with the first mounting plate being adhesively attachable to a first wall (e.g., by a piece of double-faced adhesive), and the second mounting plate being adhesively attachable to the second wall.

Abstract: A lint-removing brush. The lint-removing brush having a handle portion, a lint-removing portion, and lint-removing material attached to the lint-removing portion, where the handle portion is connected to the lint-removing portion. In one preferred embodiment, the lint-removing portion includes a free end and a connecting end opposite the free end, a first side and a second side opposite the first side, where the distance between the first side and the second side near the free end is less than the distance between the first side and the second side near the connecting end.

Abstract: A dispenser package for durable index tabs includes a housing attached to a base, in which the housing consists of interconnected side walls and end walls and a cover. The housing and base define a chamber for holding a stack of durable index tabs. The cover comprises a pair of flanges, each of which has one end that is attached to one of the end walls. The flanges have a pair of opposing edges that are spaced from the side walls of the housing. The opposite end of the flanges define a relatively wide opening of the cover for dispensing index tabs made of a relatively inflexible material. The flange incorporates an elliptical relief adjacent to the opening by forming an arched step in the flange wall that extends from the end of the flange that defines the cover opening toward the end wall of the housing.

Abstract: A package for dispensing sheet material from a stack includes a novel biasing device for urging the stack of sheet material toward an opening in one side of the package. The biasing device is comprised of a flat sheet of material sized and shaped to be located within the package beneath the stack of sheet material. An elastomeric element having an unstressed length that is less than a diameter of the flat sheet of material is stressed and positioned between opposite edges of the flat sheet of material. As stress is relieved from the elastomeric element, the elastomeric element draws the opposite edges together and elevates a central portion of the sheet of material in the form of an arch to urge the stack toward the opening as the stack of sheet material is depleted.

Abstract: A hand box sealing tape applicator for dispensing and applying a length of tape from a roll of tape to an object includes a frame comprising a support portion and an angled nose portion. A tape roll support means is provided on the support portion of the frame for rotatably supporting a roll of tape thereon and for providing a gripping surface for a user to hold and manipulate the hand tape applicator.

Abstract: A hand-held tape dispenser has a tape support hub and a support frame. A brake assembly is pivotally mounted on the frame, and has a curved brake actuator and flat brake plate. The brake plate is aligned to engage a tape roll mounted on the tape support hub and inhibit its free rotation (and dispensing) according to an operator's selection of applied pressure. The brake plate bends about the tape roll as pressure is increased to facilitate tape cutting or tape stretching (in the case of stretchable tape in the dispenser).
