  • Patent number: 7069972
    Abstract: An electrically powered tape dispenser device has a housing with a base and a top cover that opens to allow placement and removal of a tape roll supply within a tape well. Operation of a push button control actuates a motor and a pinch roller assembly to drivingly engage and pull a tape segment of select length from the roll supply for dispensing through an open mouth of the housing. The dispensed tape segment is separated from a remainder of the supply by a cutting blade fixed to the housing at the mouth. The tape segment length is preset by pushing a “count up” button to increase length or a “count down” button to decrease length. Another embodiment provides the additional function of dispensing adhesive-backed labels or stamps (e.g. postage stamps) from a roll. A lever is provided to move the pinch roller assembly into engagement with a backing strip that is pulled from the stamp roll, causing one or more stamps to be separated from the backing strip and dispensed through a stamp chute.
