A tape applicator assembly for securing at least one cable within a corner defined by a first surface and a second surface that includes a body moveable along the at least one cable positioned on the first surface, a tape-receiving cavity defined in the body for receiving a tape assembly having tape, wherein the tape assembly is receivable within the tape-receiving cavity such that the tape is positioned for dispensing from the body, and a tape applying assembly defined within the body. The tape applying assembly is configured to adhere the tape to both the at least one cable and the first and second surfaces defining the corner as the body moves along the at least one cable on the first surface.

A system for rolling up a flexible sheet may include a frame; a friction element mounted on the frame, the friction element having an endless friction outer surface with a sheet-engaging portion positioned to engage an end of the flexible sheet lying in a substantially horizontal position relative to the frame; and a drive connected to the friction element to move the endless friction outer surface such that the sheet-engaging portions thereof move upwardly to engage the end of the flexible sheet and lift up and roll the end of the flexible sheet over on itself to form a roll.

A tarping apparatus including a base frame, a tarp support boom assembly and a drum member. The base frame includes an inner side and an outer side opposite the inner side. The tarp support boom assembly includes a boom member having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is coupled to the base frame and the distal end extends outwardly therefrom beyond the inner side of the base frame. The drum member extends around the boom member and is rotatable about an axis defined by the boom member. The drum member includes a first end corresponding to the proximal end of the boom member and a second end corresponding to the distal end of the boom member. A tarp positioned over the drum member can be rolled up on the drum member through rotation of the drum member relative to the boom member.

A roller apparatus (102) is provided including roller means (104), drive means (110) for driving rotation of the roller means in use, and an electrical power source for providing electrical power to the drive means in use. The electrical power source is provided by one or more batteries (112) located internally of the roller means.

An assembly is disclosed. The assembly has an adhesive layer, a protective film layer that is fused to a first side of the adhesive layer along a first length, and a cover layer that is fused to a second side of the adhesive layer along a second length. The first length is longer than the second length. The adhesive layer is wound in a roll. The second side of the adhesive layer faces outwardly from a center of the roll.

A house wrap dispenser apparatus for use by a single user to use with a roll of house wrap in installation of house wrap on an exterior wall(s) of a stable structure. The house wrap dispenser apparatus includes a house wrap dispenser having a lower house wrap bracket operational with an upper house wrap bracket, a bag, removable fasteners, and a driver. In another embodiment, a water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser apparatus includes a water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser, a multiplicity of threaded dowels, removable fasteners, a bag, and a driver. In an embodiment, a house wrap dispenser apparatus kit, includes a house wrap dispenser apparatus carrying case to contain the house wrap dispenser apparatus. In an embodiment, a water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser apparatus kit includes a water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser apparatus carrying case to contain the water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser apparatus.

A house wrapping device to connect to a wall of a building, the house wrapping device including a main body having an elongate shape, a wrap receiving rod perpendicularly disposed away from a first end of the main body with respect to a direction to receive a house wrap roll thereon and dispense a house wrap from the house wrap roll, and a wedge perpendicularly disposed away from a second end of the main body opposite to the first end with respect to the direction to removably connect the main body to the wall and prevent the main body from falling off the wall.

A machine to apply tape to a surface includes a handle for manipulation by a user connected to a wheeled applicator allowing the tape to be dispensed from the applicator and rolled onto a surface. The applicator includes two sidewalls adjustable relative to each other on guide bars to define space therebetween where rolls of tape having different widths can be accommodated. The sidewalls further include bottom portions shaped complimentarily with the wheel to define a path sized for a width of the tape around the wheel, and where the sidewalls further define a path sized for the width of the tape over at least one guide bar. The applicator also may include a clutched take-up reel operatively connected to the wheel, where rotation of the wheel causes the take-up reel to rotate and collect a liner.

A frame for cradling a rolled surface covering during installation onto a ground surface, including first and second spaced-apart end panels, a surface covering support base extending between the first and second spaced-apart panels and adapted for holding the rolled surface covering during installation. At least one lower roller extends along the support base between the first and second spaced-apart end panels at a level above the support base, and at least one upper roller extends along the support base between the first and second spaced-apart end panels at a level above the support base and is vertically spaced-apart from the at least one lower roller. The space defines a gap extending along a length of the at least one lower roller and the at least one upper roller through which a free end of the rolled surface covering is extended during installation onto the ground surface.

Non-ridable and non-motorized machines for removing temporary tape that include a chassis or frame having front and rear wheels, a vertical support post mounted on the frame or chassis between the front and rear wheels, a horizontal arm mounted on the vertical support post, and a rotatable spool assembly attached to one end of the horizontal arm for winding used temporary tape thereon, wherein the horizontal arm is rotatably coupled to the vertical support to allow the spool assembly to be positioned on either side of the chassis when the horizontal arm is rotated with respect to the vertical support post. The non-ridable temporary tape removal machine can be manually and guided along a pavement during a tape removal operation. The non-motorized temporary tape removal machines can be or coupled to an auxiliary motorized device that pushes the non-motorized temporary tape removal machine during a tape removal operation.
