Abstract: A dispenser package including a stack of flexible sheets adhered together by layers of pressure sensitive adhesive with first and second ends of successive sheets in the stack adjacent; and an enclosure in which the stack of sheets is positioned having top wall portions with spaced opposed surfaces that define a wide slot. The first end portion of the uppermost sheet on the stack projects through the slot and rests against the adjacent first abutment surface.

Abstract: A combination of a tape dispenser including a molded polymeric frame and a cutting blade on a blade support portion of the frame, and a hanger sheet (e.g., of card stock and printed with trademark and use information) having a first end portion engaged with the frame of the dispenser, and a second portion projecting from the dispenser and having an opening adapted to receive a peg in a sales display area so that the tape dispenser can be hung from the peg by the hanger sheet. The blade support portion of the dispenser comprises a plurality of spaced projections from an inner surface of a dispenser wall that have generally coplanar distal end surfaces on which the blade is mounted. The first end portion of the hanger sheet has openings receiving the projections with the first end portion of the sheet around the projections, between the cutting blade and the inner surface of the wall supporting the projections.

Abstract: A tape dispenser having a polymeric frame with a cutter support portion having a cutting edge along one end, opposite side wall portions attached along opposite side edges of the cutter support portion, opposed hub portions projecting toward each other from the side wall portions that are adapted to project into opposite ends of an opening through a tape core to rotatably support the roll of tape, and locating tab portions projecting toward each other from the side wall portions.

Abstract: A stack of pre-cut sheets and a dispenser for those sheets are disclosed. The sheets include different adhesion levels to afford individual dispensing of the sheets.

Abstract: A refillable tape dispenser comprising a housing including a side wall, and a hub having a longitudinal axis defining an axial direction. The hub has inner and outer surfaces, and a first end fixed to the side wall. The hub comprises first and second opposed flexible portions having distal ends remote from the side wall which flexible portions project axially from the side wall. The dispenser also includes a retaining lug at the distal end of each of the flexible portions. The retaining lugs have remote ends spaced axially from the flexible portions. Ribs are present at the distal end of each of the flexible portions. The ribs project radially outward of the flexible portions and have axially extending arcuate bearing surfaces. The dispenser of the present invention is particularly suitable for coupling to a backcard having chevron-shaped openings.

Abstract: A definite length transfer adhesive dispenser is described. The dispenser provides a convenient, hand held device that repeatedly provides a definite length of adhesive. The dispenser may be used to provide a spot of adhesive in a scrapbook or photo album. An adhesive for use with the dispenser is also described.

Abstract: A dispenser for flexible sheets from a stack of adhesive coated sheets disposed one on top of another. The dispenser comprises a first housing portion including a bottom wall, end walls, side walls and a first top wall portion; and a second housing portion comprising a second top wall portion mounted on the first housing portion for movement between a normal position where the top wall portions define an outlet opening for the sheets between adjacent ends, and an open position with the second top wall portion spaced from the first wall portion to afford inserting a stack of sheets into the cavity. The dispenser includes attaching means adapted for releasably attaching the dispenser to several different retaining means including a strap by which the dispenser can be secured on a user's hand or wrist; a support member adapted to be held between user's fingers; a weighted base; or a base adapted to be attached to a surface by various means such as adhesive, suction cups or magnetic material.

Abstract: A stack of individual pre-cut sheets and a dispenser for those sheets are disclosed. The dispenser affords reciprocating movement of the stack within the dispenser to afford individual dispensing of the sheets. Optionally, the dispenser may be mounted on the wrist of a user to afford convenient dispensing.
