Abstract: A labor saving taping system for use during the installation of gypsum wallboard, whereby the seam between a pair of adjacent drywall panels can be easily and reliably taped with paper drywall tape that has been pre-coated with wet adhesive mud. This system comprises the detachable interconnection of a frame and a mud reservoir. The drywall tape is fed from a supply roll and threaded along the frame for total emersion in the reservoir so as to receive a coating of mud on both sides thereof.

Abstract: An adhesive bandage dispensing device is provided which facilitates efficient and quick access to an adhesive bandage. The device has a base, a spool holder, a removal platform having a slicer and cutter and an adhesive bandage carrier spool mounted to the device by the spool holder. A continuous strip of adhesive bandages is mounted on the spool. The strip consists of separate adhesive bandages wrapped in a protective coating. The action of pulling the strip away from the spool over the platform causes a portion of the protective covering of strip to be sliced by the slicer. This will expose a bandage which then can be lifted off the remaining portion of the protective coating for use. After this, the cutter is used to separate the bandageless strip from the device for subsequent disposal.

The applicator is pressed against the receptor surface under the control of a compression device and a cutting device for adhesive severs the adhesive below the applicating roller and an air nozzle maintains the cut end of the adhesive in a position for subsequent application.

Abstract: An improved tape dispenser includes a housing having parallel spaced sidewalls which have lower edges defining a housing base. The sidewalls may be joined at the top, front and rear of the dispenser but remain open at the lower edges. A resilient tongue extends between a forward portion of the sidewalls and has a portion which protrudes below the lower edges. The protruding end portion has a straight, radiused end for smoothly engaging and applying the tape. A cutting blade is disposed slightly forward and above the end portion of the tongue. Tabs on a rearward surface of the tongue form a guiding slot for the tape and prevent the leading edge from being retracted into the dispenser. Upon drawing the dispenser rearwardly with the lower edges parallel to the surface, the resilience of the tongue causes the radiused end portion to press the tape down to the surface.

Mounted on said carriage is an unwinding means for the web material as well as a drivable position and press head adapted to be moved in the longitudinal direction of said carriage. The assembly is such that during operation, said press head is caused to steadily move along a zick-zack path and, in the course of unrolling said web material from the supply reel, said head positions said web portion against the surface to be lined progressively from left to right and from right to left and presses said web portion thereagainst at a constant predetermined pressure.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for dispensing discrete lengths of adhesive tape onto a substrate. A take-off reel is rotatably mounted in a housing having an opening through which tape is dispensed. A supply reel, a curved flat spring guide, a tape cutting blade and a dispenser mechanism are all located within the take-off reel. The guide reverses the direction of the tape from the supply reel and presses the adhesive side thereof against the inner surface of the take-off reel. A detent mechanism resists the rotation of the take-off reel after predetermined angular rotations thereof. When properly indexed, the take-off reel is rotated one detent position to properly align the tape with respect to the blade. The blade is actuated to cut from the tape a discrete label which can be dispensed.

Abstract: A tape applicator adapted to be hand held and used to apply a length of pressure sensitive adhesive coated tape to a substrate and to cut the applied length from a supply of the tape in the dispenser. An anvil spaced from a hub that supports a roll of tape may be manually rubbed along the backing of tape being applied by moving the applicator to firmly press it against the substrate, and a cutting edge on the side of the anvil opposite the hub may be used to sever the applied tape by pivoting the dispenser. A retainer will be engaged by the adhesive coating on the tape upon cutting of the tape to retain the cut end of the tape in position adjacent the anvil so that it can be manually pressed against and adhered to a new substrate, and the adhesive coating on the tape will be peeled away from the retainer when that cut end is adhered to a new substrate and the dispenser is initially moved to apply the new length of tape.

Abstract: A one-piece, hand-held dispenser/applicator includes an element extending radially from a generally planar frame. A tape rest supports the lead end of the tape when the tape is not being used. A pressing surface and an adjoining cutting edge are also formed integrally with the element. At rest, the tip of the lead end of the tape extends in front of the pressing surface. In use, the operator applies the lead end of the tape to an object by pressing the pressing surface against the non-adhesive side of the tape. The operator then draws the dispenser/applicator over the object while continually applying pressure to the pressure surface. When the exact amount of tape has been dispensed and applied, the contiguous cutting edge severs the tape by a simple wrist motion. The device permits direct, one-hand, accurate taping and eliminates inconveniences such as curling and wrinkling the tape.
