Abstract: A tape applicator including a frame with a rotatable mandrel for mounting one or more rolls of adhesive tape, the frame including a flat, elongated portion under which the tape passes and which acts to apply the tape positively and firmly to a selected surface as the applicator is moved thereover, and the frame further including guides at the location of the elongated portion through which the tape passes to insure accuracy in application and equidistant spacing between multiple tape strips. The guides also act as means for removing any tape lining as the tape is applied. The applicator is designed for one hand operation and is disposable, being constructed of inexpensive materials with the frame preferably formed from a flat cutout of paperboard or the like.
