A dispenser housing for dispensing a multi-layer tape transfer tape used in a paper web turn-up operation, the transfer tape being the combination of a tape substrate coated on one side with a web grabbing adhesive and on the other side with a mounting adhesive, and a release liner having a release liner substrate fully coated on a first side with a release layer and zone-coated on a second side with a release layer, the transfer tape being wound onto a single spool with the release liner facing inward and the mounting side adhesive facing outward, such that buckling is precluded when the transfer tape is unwound from the spool.

Tape cutting inserts suitable for cutting tape strips from a tape roll having a spool, a pair of spaced-apart spool flanges on the spool, a spool opening in the spool and opening through the pair of spool flanges, respectively, and tape wound on the spool between the pair of spool flanges. An illustrative embodiment of the tape cutting insert may include an insert panel having an inner panel surface, an outer panel surface opposite the inner panel surface, a cutting edge extending between the inner panel surface and the outer panel surface and a pair of elongated, parallel, spaced-apart flange receiving slots extending through the insert panel from the inner panel surface to the outer panel surface. In a stowage configuration of the insert panel, the insert panel may be configured to releasably engage the spool at the spool opening. In a functional, tape cutting configuration of the insert panel, the pair of flange receiving slots may be configured to accommodate the pair of spool flanges, respectively, on the spool. Tape cutting insert and tape roll combinations are also disclosed.

Invention includes a non-enclosed tape dispensing apparatus and system that is adapted to communicate with spools of tape or spooled material and allow the material to pass through the middle of the apparatus and then to be cut to a desired length by a cutting surface. The apparatus may also be made of different types of material and can be varied in size and shape to communicate with rolls of tape or spooled material of varying widths.

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.

A tape cutting device includes a device frame adapted to ride along a tape roll. A blade housing may be carried by the device frame. The blade housing may have a pair of spaced-apart tape roll guides and a blade space between the tape roll guides. A blade actuating panel may be pivotally carried by the device frame. A tape cutting blade having a tape cutting edge may be carried by the blade actuating panel. The tape cutting blade may be selectively deployable between a retracted blade position in the blade space and an extended blade position with respect to the blade space in which the tape cutting blade engages the tape roll responsive to pivoting of the blade actuating panel on the device frame. A retaining mechanism may be carried by the tape cutting unit. The retaining mechanism may be adapted to secure the tape cutting unit on the tape roll.

The adhesive tape according to the present invention comprises a tape which comprises a long plastic film having a predetermined width and a predetermined thickness and adhesive layers which are arranged on the tape, wherein at least one row of multiple slits are arranged at regular intervals along the length direction in a region of the tape which turns inward from each end of a first surface as observed in a width direction, each of the slits is formed by a narrow and long concave groove which is depressed to a predetermined depth from the first surface and a crack; which is formed on the bottom of the concave groove and is formed at a predetermined depth toward a second surface, and the adhesive layer is formed on the first surface having the slits formed thereon.

The present invention is to provide a power tape dispenser which capable to automatically dispense and cut packaging tape at a desired speed. The operations of the tape dispenser such as taping and cutting process are controlled by the engagement of surface triggering device, the main triggering device and the electrical components.

Belt mounted folding tape holders and related methods and systems. In a first illustrative embodiment, a tape holder assembly has a body with a belt clip disposed on a first side, on the opposite side, a folding hook may be stored in a recess when not in use to provide a slim profile. For use, the folding hook is released from the recess and folded down to provide a generally horizontal shelf on which one or more rolls of tape may be placed. A generally vertical member is disposed at a distal end of the shelf to retain the tape roll thereon. In some embodiments, the vertical member may fold and in others it may be fixed to the end of the shelf member.

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 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.
