Abstract: A tape dispenser comprises a housing, a reel core (3) rotatable in the housing about an axis and having an inner periphery formed with an annular array of inwardly directed core teeth (17), and a drive wheel rotatable in the housing about the axis. A plurality of elastically deformable spring tongues (15) formed unitarily with each other each extend at an angle to the axis from the respective inner end fixed to the drive wheel to a respective outer end lying within the reel core adjacent the inner periphery thereof. Each inner end is axially offset and radially inwardly offset from the respective outer end and each outer end is integrally formed with at least one tongue tooth engaging between the core teeth. A supply of tape (14) is wound on the reel core such that when the tape is payed out or wound up on the reel core same rotates relative to the drive wheel and the core teeth move angularly relative to the tongue teeth with elastic inward deflection of same.

Abstract: In a hand operated device for transferring a film (28) from a carrier tape (22) to a substrate, in which in a casing the carrier tape (22) is guided from a smaller supply reel (3) to a pressure edge (33) of an application foot (31) projecting outwards at the bottom on the casing and from the foot back into the casing and onto a larger take-up reel (4), in that the supply and take-up reels (3,4) are coupled together by means of a slip clutch acting in the rotation direction and to the casing are fitted guide means for guiding the carrier tape (22), the supply reel (3) and take-up reel (4) being axially juxtaposed and inclined at an acute angle to one another. At the bottom, the smaller supply reel (3) projects into the inner area (24) of the larger take-up reel (4) on the side thereof open towards reel (3), while its top surface is located completely outside the same. The slip clutch is located centrally between the two reels (3,4).

Abstract: The device, suitable for use in a hand roller, for transferring a film from a carrier tape to a substrate is a cartridge containing a feed reel and a windup reel. The tape travels by way of a protruding stiff applicator bar which has a pressure-applying edge for pressing the tape against the substrate. The stiff applicator bar is on a spring support member which can be deflected until a protrusion on the bar encounters a detent fixed on the housing. The application bar has its pressure-applying edge appropriately shaped to facilitate the transfer action.

Abstract: A hand-operated device for transferring a film from a carrier tape to a substrate has a housing made up of two parts connected by a swivelable linkage. The housing has two rotatable pivot pins coupled to each other by a clutch coupling. A cartridge is held in position in this housing by a suitable arrangement of pins and receptacles. This cartridge has, conrotatably linkable to the pivot pins, a feed reel and a wind-up reel for the tape, and has an applicator element at one end over which the tape runs and which is used to press the tape against the substrate for transfer of the film.
