  • Tape cutting dispenser
    Patent number: 4944441
    Abstract: An improvement for a tape dispensing apparatus equipped with a device for cutting tape into discrete segments. A straight-edged blade vertically disposed and secured within a U-shaped support provides enhanced cutting abilities while protecting the operator from injurious contact with the blade cutting edges. The support is also adapted to allow easy removal of the blade after extended use without allowing excessive adhesive build-up on the cutting edge from adhering to the assembly. The blade is firmly maintained within the support via a spring tab which furnishes stability to the cutting assembly.
