A tape dispenser has a cutter or cutting blade that has at least two rows of teeth opposite each other relative to the cutter or cutting blade. The blade is to be installed on the tape dispenser in any of at least two orientations. By installing the blade in any of at least two orientations, at least one row of teeth will always project from the dispensing end to cut adhesive tape as it is unwound from a roll after being dispensed. This type of blade permits an easier manufacturing ability by reducing or eliminating the need to ensure proper alignment of the teeth to project outwardly from the tape dispenser housing.

Flat wound tape article with a flat core and tape wound around the core. The article is configured so that it can help protect the edges of the tape from adhering to dirt, dust, lint, etc. while maintaining a convenient shape for use.

The dispenser may include a housing that includes an inner cavity for select reception and retention of a tape ribbon. A cap may be movable between a closed position to enclose the inner cavity and the tape ribbon therein and an open position providing access to the tape ribbon in the inner cavity of the housing. Furthermore, the dispenser may also include a dispense channel having a size and shape for selectively dispensing the tape ribbon out from within the inner cavity when the cap is in the closed position. Moreover, a safety wall may extend outwardly from the dispense channel and form an enclosure shielding opposite sides of a free end of the tape ribbon extending through the dispense channel, while permitting front on hand access of the free end for continued select dispensing.

An adhesive tape dispensing device with a tape alignment mechanism, comprising a, body formed from a rigid material or materials, configured to hold and dispense adhesive tape, and a tape alignment mechanism comprising at least one spring that presses laterally against the edge of the tape, the side of the tape form, or against a hub onto which the tape is mounted, and a caulking spacer with guides which allows for dispensing of tape along an external corner, even where such corners are not square.

Apparatus for a sealing material system is provided. The system may include a retaining cage. The system may include a portable sealing dispenser. The portable sealing dispenser may include a handle. The handle may include a wide end and a narrow end. A securing flange may be affixed to the handle. In some embodiments, the retaining cage may be configured to support the securing flange. In some embodiments, the retaining cage may include a first width and a second width. A narrow end of the handle may be configured to pass through the first width. A length of the handle between the narrow end and the wide end may slide through the second width. The wide end of the handle may be supported by the retaining cage.

An adhesive tape dispensing device having a narrow top portion with an opening, across which opening the tape is tensioned, and a blade that cuts the tape by first puncturing it and then proceeding to cut across the remainder of the tape.

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 tape dispenser has a cutter or cutting blade that has at least two rows of teeth opposite each other relative to the cutter or cutting blade. The blade is to be installed on the tape dispenser in any of at least two orientations.

This type of blade permits an easier manufacturing ability by reducing or eliminating the need to ensure proper alignment of the teeth to project outwardly from the tape dispenser housing.

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.
