Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing adhesive tape tubes with pressure sensitive adhesive oriented at the outer circumference there on. The tube is formed from standard one-sided pressure sensitive adhesive tape. A continuous tubular profile is established by passing the tape through a profile configurator with the adhesive orientated outwardly to cause the tape to be formed into a spiral cone with overlapping edges. The overlapping edges of the tape merge together radially and become in mutual adhesive contact beyond said configurator to form tubed tape of cylindrical characteristics with a longitudinal seam.
