  • Patent number: 8443862
    Abstract: A dispensing aid is disclosed for attachment to an annular roll of tape that has an inside radial surface and an outer radial tape surface, such as a roll of masking tape for example. A pair of side risers each have at a lower end thereof an opposing, inwardly-projecting tab that is configured for sliding along the inside radial surface of the roll of tape. A top platform laterally spans the outer radial tape surface width and is fixed with an upper end of each riser. The distance between each riser may be adjustable to accommodate different tape roll widths. A cutting blade projects away from the top platform at a forward end of the platform. One of the risers may include a central slot wherein the riser is slidably engaged within the slot. The riser may include a pivot mechanism such that the riser may pivot from a vertical closed position to a horizontal open position, thereby facilitating the attachment and removal of the aid with the tape roll.
