  • Patent number: 7063120
    Abstract: A hand-held dispenser for applying a tape on a substrate surface, a casing for a supply reel for the tape, a take-up reel, and an application member for applying the tape. The tape is fed from the supply reel to the application member and then back to the take-up reel. The take-up reel and the supply reel are provided separately from each other. The supply reel and the take-up reel are elongated reels. At least the take-up reel includes at least two spaced apart reel members.

  • Patent number: 6796355
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for transferring a film of adhesive, covering, or colored material from a backing tape onto a substrate, having a housing in which a supply reel and a take-up reel for the backing tape are rotatably mounted. The backing tape extends from the supply reel, loops around an application member protruding from the housing, and extends to the take-up reel. A rotating member is arranged in the drive connection between the supply reel and the take-up reel. The rotating member is connected to the take-up reel by a first gearing and has a rotational axis which is radially offset in relation to the rotational axis of the supply reel. The rotational axis of the supply reel is radially offset relative to the rotational axis of the rotating member.

  • Patent number: 6601632
    Abstract: The invention relates to a manual device for transferring a film consisting for example of adhesive, covering or coloured material from a backing strip to a substrate, with a housing in which a supply reel and a take-up reel for the backing strip are mounted so that they can rotate via a pivot bearing, which is formed by two coaxially arranged bearing components, engaging in each other like sleeves in the region of an annular or hollow cylindrical bearing joint, of which one bearing component is held on the housing so that it cannot rotate and the other bearing component is a part of the relevant reel support and in the course of which a return stop is provided for both reels with a locking pawl which meshes with a gear ring. To guarantee a compact design and economical fabrication, the locking pawl is arranged on the one bearing component against a spring force so that it yields elastically and the gear ring is arranged on the other bearing component.

  • Patent number: 6363992
    Abstract: A device for transferring a film from a tape carrier to a substrate. The device, otherwise known as a tape applicator, has a housing in which are arranged a supply wheel for the tape carrier coated with the film, and a take-up wheel (displaced radially with respect to the supply wheel) for receiving the tape carrier once the film has been separated therefrom. An application device, projects from the housing and presents the side of the tape carrier coated with film to the substrate. A drive connection together with a slip coupling is formed between the supply wheel and the take-up wheel by a friction drive, in which, when the supply wheel is driven by drawing off the tape carrier, the drive connection drives the take-up wheel at such a rotational speed that the tape carrier remains always tensioned. In order to improve the transfer of torque between the wheels, the wheels each have at least one disc-shaped wheel wall.

  • Patent number: 6273982
    Abstract: A hand-operated appliance (1) for transferring a film from a carrier tape (7) to a substrate is proposed, this having a casing (2), an interchangeable cassette (3) which can be inserted in the casing (2), a supply spool (4) for a carrier tape (7) coated with a film and a wind-up spool (5) for taking up the carrier tape (7) separated from the film, both spools being held in the interchangeable cassette (3), an applicator device (6) which deflects the carrier tape (7), projects out of the casing (2) and presents the side of the carrier tape (7) which is coated with the film to the substrate, and a drive connection (8) provided with a slip coupling (9) between the supply spool (4) and the wind-up spool (5) which, as the supply spool (4) is driven by drawing off the carrier tape (7), drives the wind-up spool (5) at a rotational speed which is such that the carrier tape (7) always remains tensioned.

  • Patent number: 6000455
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hand-held implement for transferring a film of, e.g., adhesive or coating or colored material from a supporting strip wound on a supply reel onto a substrate, said implement comprising a housing, a pressure-exerting part projecting from the housing and with a pressure tip guiding and deflecting a supporting strip section, and two mounting and/or carrying devices arranged in the interior of the housing for the supply reel and a take-up reel for the supporting strip taken off from the supply reel and guided and deflected round the pressure-exerting part, the housing being open for the purposes of replacing a cassette carrying the supply reel and the take-up real, and a positioning device being provided for positioning the cassette in the housing.
