Abstract: A rolled material, such as pressure adhesive tape, dispenser that provides for one-handed operation in a forward or backward direction, and applies the rolled material to a surface while being able to remain in contact with a perpendicular surface. The dispenser has a body and a spool to hold a rolled material. The body also has a cylindrical handle, cutting elements, and spindles. The spindles hold the spool, and the payed out material application wheels. The payed material is thread around the application wheels and applied to a surface. The cylindrical handle allows the body to be rotated so that the cutting elements can cut the desired length rolled material. The spool and application wheels have a covering of friction reducing material allowing the device to make contact with a surface perpendicular to the application surface in a safe manner.

Abstract: A portable apparatus for applying a masking tape to surfaces such as along the top edges of baseboards and the like, which comprises a housing having a tape holder adapted to receive a tape roll and a plurality of guiding sleeves rotatably mounted on a housing and together with a cutter assembly adopter to tear the tape.

Abstract: Tape and adhesive dispenser having adhesive-containing hopper with tape inlet and outlet openings adjacent lower wall of the hopper. Roll of tape is supported so that run of tape passes between openings and along upper surface of lower wall and collects adhesive thereon. Outfeed platform extends outwardly from outlet opening and has spaced edge guide means to restrain opposite margins of tape as tape passes along platform. Tape restrainer is mounted for rotation in direction of feed of tape above platform so that a lowermost portion thereof is spaced closely from the platform to permit tape to pass between platform and restrainer. The restrainer has clearance so that minimal adhesive is removed from tape as it passes beneath the restrainer. The restrainer is cylinder carrying pair of thin spaced discs, positioned adjacent central portion of tape to provide restraint at tape center. Two embodiments of self-threading means permit easy threading of tape.
