Abstract: A tape dispenser for applying paper lined electrically conductive pressure sensitive adhesive tape or foil on a flat surface for forming a part of an electrical alarm system. The dispenser includes a housing having a tape storage chamber in which is rotatably mounted a roll of paper lined pressure sensitive adhesive foil. The housing has an extension on the front side thereof through which the tape is dispensed. A pressure member is mounted on the housing extension over the point at which the tape is discharged from the housing extension, for use in pressing the tape on a flat surface as it is discharged from the dispenser. The dispenser includes means for stripping the paper liner from the foil as the foil is fed from the roll in the dispenser.

Abstract: A tape dispenser for applying electrially conductive adhesive tape or foil on a flat surface. When applied on a flat surface, the tape forms a part of an electrical alarm system. The dispenser includes a housing having a tape storage chamber in which is rotatably mounted a roll of tape. The housing has an extension on the front side thereof through which the tape is dispensed. A pressure member is mounted on the housing extension over the point at which the tape is discharged from the housing extension for use in pressing the tape on a flat surface as it is discharged from the dispenser. The housing is provided with a guide means for guiding the dispenser in a straight line. The guide means is used for engagement with a window frame for guiding the dispenser as it moves over the window pane. The tape dispenser can also be used for making a right angle turn when applying tape to a flat surface.
