Abstract: An automatic tape dispenser including a controller, a reel for supporting tape roll thereon, and a feed system configured to receive the tape and peel the tape from the tape roll. The system further includes a sensor communicatively coupled to the controller, wherein the sensor is operable to detect a characteristic of the tape such that in response to detecting the characteristic, an operation of the feed system is adjusted.

Abstract: An automatic tape dispensing system comprising a feed system having a plurality of rollers, the rollers driven by a motor for peeling tape from a tape roll and dispensing the tape from the dispensing system. The system further includes a reel for supporting the tape thereon and a track supporting the reel. The track extends from a first upper end to a second lower end, the reel movable from the upper end to the lower end in response to tape being dispensed from the system in order to maintain a desired tension on the tape roll.

Abstract: A mounting system for supporting equipment above a surface, such as, for example, a label dispensing unit, is provided. The system includes bracket having a first segment cantilevering from a housing and a second segment extending perpendicularly from the first segment and spaced apart from the housing. The housing and first and second segments form a channel to receive a support structure therein. The support structure is sized to fit within the channel to support the equipment above a surface when the bracket is disposed over the support structure.

Abstract: A label dispenser unit comprising a dispensing reel for supporting a roll of labels attached to a backing strip. The dispenser unit also includes a label releasing station for separating the label from the backing strip and a central take-up hub for receiving the backing strip thereon. The take up hub is formed of a hub portion and a plurality of radially extending spokes extending from the central hub portion. The backing strip extends from the roll of labels around the label releasing station such that an end of the backing strip is secured to the take-up hub between at least two radially extending spokes.
