Abstract: A laser measurement system operates to identify locations of points of a vehicle in a three-dimensional space and determine whether the points of the vehicle are properly positioned. The laser measurement system includes a scanner device and a target device. The scanner device operates to generate a laser beam. The target device includes an optical detector configured to detect when the laser beam is directed at the target device and a position of the laser beam relative to the optical detector. The target device further includes a light control device configured to shape the laser beam directed to the optical detector of the target device.

Abstract: A device for applying tape to a box driven past the device in which an end of the tape to be applied is initially held adjacent an application member in the path for the box with its adhesive coating facing the box. After the box contacts the tape, the application member is moved by movement of the box to a second position at the side of the object along an essentially linear path disposed so that a component of movement of the application member is in the direction of the movement of the box. Also means are provided to form a central ridge in the end portion of the tape adjacent the contact member to keep it in position prior to contact by a box.

Abstract: A dispenser for one or more rolls of pressure sensitive adhesive coated tape. The dispenser includes a core support having an arcuate surface adapted to support the rolls of tape for rotation about the surface. The core support is fixed at one end to a radially projecting member slidably mounted on a base for the dispenser to afford manual movement of the core support between a dispense position at which a roll of tape is retained around the core support by walls of the dispenser adjacent the side surfaces of the roll of tape as tape is pulled from the roll; and a load position at which empty cores can be removed and full rolls of tape applied over an unrestricted end of the core support.
