An adhesive tape cartridge can include an adhesive tape roll that winds a double-faced adhesive tape. The double-faced adhesive tape includes a base material layer, a first adhesive layer, a second adhesive layer, a third adhesive layer, and a separation material layer. The first adhesive layer is disposed on one side of the base material layer and includes an adhesive with a first pigment added. The second adhesive layer is disposed on the one side of the first adhesive layer and includes an adhesive with a second pigment added. The third adhesive layer is disposed on the other side of the base material layer. The separation material layer is disposed on the other side of the third adhesive layer. A volume ratio of the first pigment in the first adhesive layer is greater than a volume ratio of the second pigment in the second adhesive layer.

A tape applicator including a housing and an adjustment mechanism. The housing partially defines a cavity. The adjustment mechanism includes a course and an adjustment plate. The course includes a plurality of positions. The adjustment plate is movable along the course among the plurality of positions. The adjustment plate is held in a selected position of the plurality of positions by the housing based on a size of a tape roll configured to be supported in the cavity.

An apparatus and method for forming a tubular masking tape from a planar masking tape easily and quickly. The apparatus includes an elongated frame having a proximal end and a distal end. A tape head is coupled over the distal end. A tape roll of the planar masking tape can be mounted to the tape head. A roller ASSY is spatially positioned above the top side of the frame, wherein the roller ASSY includes an upper roller and a lower roller positioned one above another. A die is mounted over the top side of the frame spatially between the tape head and the roller ASSY. A leading edge from the tape roll is passed through a slot in the die and thereafter the curved leading edge from the slot is pressed between the rollers of the roller assy.

A tape dispenser housing wound adhesive tape includes a brake spoke tapering (i.e., narrowing) from a distal radial end to a proximal radial end relative to a tape rotational axis, wherein the brake spoke effectuates the braking of wound adhesive tape on a hub by contacting the wound adhesive tape, the hub, or both simultaneously.

The invention relates to an adhesive tape applicator with a holder (1) for a roll (2) of adhesive tape and at least one handle (12) and an applicator head (7) arranged so that it is in a fixed position relative to the handle (12), wherein a deflector edge unit (8) is arranged in particular so that it can move relative to the applicator head (7).

A tape dispenser housing wound adhesive tape includes a brake spoke tapering (i.e., narrowing) from a distal radial end to a proximal radial end relative to a tape rotational axis, wherein the brake spoke effectuates the braking of wound adhesive tape on a hub by contacting the wound adhesive tape, the hub, or both simultaneously.

An adhesive closure strip and dispenser are presented. The device includes a dispenser housing including a roller rotatably disposed therein. A sheet comprising the adhesive closure strips is rolled along the roller and is configured to extend out of an opening of the housing. The sheet can include various designs or indicia on an upper side thereof. The lower side of the sheet includes a reusable adhesive material thereon. The sheet is divided into segments via a plurality of perforations wherein each individual segment includes a non-adhesive pull tab portion for easy removal from the housing. The pull tab also allows for a portion of the closure strip to remain free to pull on after the closure strip has been used to seal a bag or container. In use, a section of sheet can be torn away and applied to a flexible bag to releasably seal the opening thereof.

The present invention relates to apparatuses and processes for forming tabs on adhesive backed products. Specifically, the apparatus of the present invention provides a sequential series of mechanisms to form a tab on an adhesive-backed product, such as adhesive tape, so that the same may be easy to remove from an article at a later date. More specifically, the apparatus of the present invention provides a sequential series of mechanisms to form a tab that is formed solely of the adhesive-backed product itself, which may be utilized for the subsequent removal thereof after placement on an article.

A taping head for taping a wire harness with tape of a tape roll includes a base body and a rotatable tape dispenser with a mouth and mandrel for receiving the tape roll. The tape dispenser is configured to rotate the tape roll and is mounted to the base body by means of a quick-release coupling.

An automatic tape dispenser including a controller, a reel for supporting tape roll thereon, and a feed system configured to receive the tape and peel the tape from the tape roll. The system further includes a sensor communicatively coupled to the controller, wherein the sensor is operable to detect a characteristic of the tape such that in response to detecting the characteristic, an operation of the feed system is adjusted.
