A dispensing box with a roll tensioner houses a material roll and maintains a material cutting edge in an upward position for easy grasping during use. The roll tensioner comprises distal and proximal end sections with opposing bottom tabs separated by a spring back reversion section. A roll tensioner slide assembly integrated in the front wall of the dispensing box has opposing parallel slits terminating at opposing parallel slots with parallel locking flaps. Opposing bottom tabs of a roll tensioner are inserted through the parallel slots, resting in a first position during non-use and adapted to be slid down into a second position in the parallel slits when later engaged for use to retain the material cut edge in the upward position for easy grasping. The locking flaps have break-away top and bottom walls abutting a bend wall and are in a stored position and later opened outward to a locking position during use to prevent movement of the roll tensioner.

A blank forms a dispenser carton. The dispenser carton receives a rolled sheet to form a dispenser carton assembly. The dispenser carton has a top panel. A dispensing state of the dispenser carton the top panel includes a pair of locking tabs with notches received by a pair of flaps of side panels of the dispenser carton. The pair of flaps each have flap notches. The flap notches provide a gap between a top panel flange and a front panel of the dispenser carton. The pair of locking tabs are received into flap apertures of the pair of flaps. A pair of triangular gaps separate a portion of a back panel of the dispenser carton from left and right side panels to bias the pair of locking tabs against stops of the pair of flaps. A bottom panel of the dispenser carton includes a bottom aperture.

A web material dispenser for housing two or more rolls is provided. The web material dispenser includes a housing having a fixed housing portion provided with a first roll support assembly coupled thereto for supporting a first roll of web material. The housing further has a movable housing portion, movable between a closed position and an open position, provided with a second roll support assembly coupled thereto for supporting a second roll of web material. The fixed and movable housing portions defining a housing chamber therebetween when the movable portion is in the closed position, for at least partially enclosing the two or more rolls of web material within the housing chamber. The movable portion is moved to the open position for providing access to the two or more rolls and allowing replacement of at least one of the first and second rolls.

A tape dispensing device with a tape head pivotally mounted on a housing. The first end of the tape head features a cutting tool and the second end features one or more protrusions or feet. Adjacent to the tape head and located on an inner surface of the housing is an arc or trough shaped stop that is complementary in shape to the second end of the tape head. When the user applies force to the first end of the tape head while placing tape on a separate surface, the tape head rotates causing the foot or feet on the tape head to push the length of tape into the trough causing it to stick to the trough. At the same time, the foot creases the tape causing the free end of the tape to stiffen or stick out.

A pad of dispensable adhesive tape segments is shown and described. The pad includes a protective envelope and a number of tape segments. The tape segments are arrayed such that detachable pull tabs for each are exposed for grasp. The envelope may include a strip folded over onto itself and adhered in place. The envelope is pulled open and may be adhered to an environmental surface. Tape segments have adhesive of weaker adherence than the adhesive of the envelope so that when pulled by a pull tab, each tape segment preferentially releases from the next, but the envelope maintains adherence to the environmental surface. Adhesive lined tabs initially holding the envelope closed may also be used for adherence to the environmental surface. Preferably used for medical tape, the envelope is waterproof to maintain sterility of tape segments.

A sheet cassette that accommodates a recording sheet and is connected with a printer includes a first roller contacting a feed roller of the printer, a second roller contacting a recording sheet, a first gear and a second gear attached to a shaft of the first roller, a third gear and a fourth gear attached to a single shaft, and a fifth gear attached to a shaft of the second roller, wherein the first gear independently rotates relative to the first roller and the second gear, the feed gear of the printer engages with the first gear, the first gear engages with the third gear, the fourth gear rotates together with the third gear, the fourth gear engages with the fifth gear, and the second roller is rotated by rotation of the fifth gear.

A portable film packing apparatus includes a main body including a holding-and-drawing rod at the middle portion of the main body, a first combining rod is at a one end, and a second combining rod is disposed at the other end of the main body; a first roller unit having a first roller having its opposite ends respectively fixed with a pair of a first roller unit gears; and a second roller unit having second roller having its opposite ends respectively fixed with a pair of a second roller unit gears, wherein the first roller unit and the second roller unit are provided with the pair of the first roller unit gears and the pair of the second roller unit gears to mesh with each other, wherein a diameter of the first roller is smaller than a diameter of the second roller.

A holder for straps includes a base including a body portion and a tail portion, and a waist where the body portion and the tail portion join. The base defines first and second horizontally opposed recesses and a wrap area disposed therebetween. First embodiments of the holder include pegs disposed on opposing sides of the wrap area. The pegs can engage with S-hooks, D rings, snap hooks, carabiners and the like. Second embodiments of the holder include a base defining slots from edges of the body portion and disposed on opposing sides of the wrap area. The slots can engage with J-hooks, T-hooks, U-hooks, and the like. After securing the hook thereof, each strap is wrapped around the base through first and second recesses. Straps can be secured by disposing a loop such as a loop of bungee cord or a tie about the waist and tightening the cord or tie.

The disclosed tape strip stack is a stack of tape strips arranged one on top of the other for individual removal of each successive tape strip. Secured to a portion of an adhesive on the tape strip, and on alternating ends between successive tape strips, is a tab. The tab protects the adhesive at an exposed tape strip. In some cases, the tab is a removable release tab. Prior to use, the removable release tab is removed, such that a tape strip with an adhesive surface is available for use.

The present disclosure relates to tape dispensers that provide an easy to use locking mechanism for loading and unloading a roll of tape thereon. The dispenser includes a generally U-shaped frame with a pair of flexible sidewall arm portions that extend rearwardly in a generally side-by-side spaced apart relation. The dispenser includes inwardly facing opposed first and second hub portions that have a roll surface, a bottom surface, and an abutment surface, wherein the roll surface is configured to support the roll thereon. The frame also includes a pair of interlocking tabs disposed on the bottom surfaces hub portions. The tabs include a locking means for securing the hub portions together wherein the abutment surfaces of the first and second hubs are in direct contact.
