Abstract: A tape dispenser comprises a housing (2), a tape feeder (3) for feeding tape (4), and at least a first and a second tape guiding surface for guiding the tape (4) from the tape feeder (3) in a taping direction. The tape guiding surfaces (6, 7) are separated from each other in the taping direction and located at the external side of the housing (2). The first and second tape guiding surfaces (6, 7) are oriented such that a common tangent plane touches the first tape guiding surface (6) in a first section (8) and the second tape guiding surface (7) in a second section (9). A portion of the second tape guiding surface (7) at a side of the second section (9) located remote from the first tape guiding surface (6) is angled with respect, to the tangent plane towards the housing (2), and the tape feeder (3) is disposed at the side of the first section located (8) remote from the second tape guiding surface (7).
