A tape attachment apparatus includes a tape supply unit configured to provide a tape to be attached to a tip of an electrode roll, a tape attachment unit configured to attach the tape provided by the tape supply unit to the electrode roll, and a frame configured to allow the tape attachment unit to be mounted to the frame. A tape attachment process to prevent unwinding of the electrode roll is automatically performed.

The coating film transfer tool includes: a feeding core around which transfer tape is wound and that feeds a piece of transfer tape, the piece of transfer tape including a piece of base tape and a coating film that is provided on one surface of the piece of base tape; a transfer head that presses the coating film against a transfer target and transfers the coating film thereonto; a winding core that winds up the piece of base tape from which the coating film has been transferred; and an intermediate roller that rotates as the piece of transfer tape travels, in contact with a first surface of the piece of transfer tape fed from the feeding core, the first surface being a surface on which the coating film is not provided. A second surface of the intermediate roller is adhesive with respect to the first surface.

A tape dispenser having a handle, a base plate disposed at an end of the handle, a rotatable tape mount engaged on the base plate, a nose member disposed on the base plate, a cylinder rotatably engaged on the nose member near a cutter and a guide element is provided. The guide member is slidingly engaged on the base plate. The guide element is adjustable between a loading position which is slid rearward ly to provide space between a tape engaging end of the guide element and the nose member and a loaded position where the end of the guide element is located adjacent the nose member. A tape core support assembly can include a shaft secured to the frame and an axle assembly disposed about at least a portion of the shaft. The axle assembly includes a hub having an outer surface and at least three arcuate arms extending outwardly from the hub outer surface. An outer periphery of the arms forms a theoretical or actual cylinder configured to receive the tape core. The rotatable tape core support can include a stationary axle, a spring inclusive bushing mounted to said axle, and a rotatable tape mount. The rotatable tape mount can include a housing that receives the bushing such that the spring engages a surface of the housing to control rotation of the tape mount.

A tape affixing apparatus includes a frame support table for supporting an annular frame, a lifting and lowering unit for lifting and lowering the frame support table, a tape affixing unit, and a controller. The tape affixing unit includes a tape uncoiler, a tape take-up reel, and a presser roller movable from one end to the other end of the annular frame supported on the frame support table while pressing a tape paid out from the tape uncoiler to affix the tape to the annular frame. The controller positions the presser roller in a pressing position, affixes the tape to one end of the annular frame while applying tension to the tape, moves the presser roller toward the other end of the annular frame, and keeps the tension on the tape constant by lifting the frame support table in synchronism with the presser roller as it is moved.

The present invention is a hand masker having a housing structure, a pole, and a cutting mechanism. The hand masker of the present invention is designed with a paper roller and tape wheels to hold paper and tape, a plurality of aligning wheels to adhere the tape to both sides of the paper, a plurality of pressing wheels to adhere the tape and paper to a surface, a cutting blade to cut the paper and tape away from the paper roller and tape wheels, a cut trigger and gear cable to activate cutting from a distance, and an extension pole to operate the present invention from a distance. In use, the present invention allows for precise and efficient coverage of a surface with tape and paper from a distance.

A threadlike adhesive sticking apparatus of the present invention includes a nozzle having an inner wall surface defining a cylindrical internal space and a tip end having a tip end opening allowing the internal space to communicate with the outside at one end of the inner wall surface, and a plurality of portions of a peripheral portion surrounding the tip end opening at the tip end function as a pressing unit that presses a threadlike adhesive, which has been allowed to pass through the internal space and has been led out to the outside from the tip end opening, against an object.

A device for dispensing rolled items, such as tape. The hand-held or mounted tape dispensing device is designed to accommodate variously sized or shaped rolls of tape. The tape dispensing device for dispensing a tape may comprise a support structure and one or more tape holder sliders configured to be moveable from a first position to at least one second position. The tape dispensing device may also include one or more tape holder sliders, which may move simultaneously in a single direction. The tape dispensing device may also include a tape dispenser blade having a cutting edge and configured to be moveable from a first position to at least one second position and to rotate to a position along the cutting edge at different angles.

An apparatus for assembling a securing tape on a trim strip to provide a trim cap structure having a base with an assembly path, a spool assembly to dispense tape from a coil, a guide assembly to guide the strip, and an applicator assembly to guide the securing tape to the portion of the trim strip on the assembly path. A method for assembling a sign component for a sign is also disclosed.

Apparatus for applying a strip P comprising at least one microcreped paper to a carrier material T, where the apparatus comprises the strip P, wound to a reel S, and rotatably mounted rollers R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 for guiding the strip P at least partly unwound from the reel, where the at least one microcreped paper comprised in the strip P wound to the reel has a tensile strength of at least 8 kN/m, an extensibility of at least 4% and a tearing resistance of at least 1200 mN.

A tape dispenser includes a first arm, a second arm, a holder, a roller, a retaining device, a blade, spring(s) and one or more guides. The tape dispenser is positioned on a tape roll by positioning the holder on the inside of the tape roll and positioning the roller and retaining device on the outside of the tape roll. Tape is able to be pulled through the tape dispenser and then cut using the blade. After the tape is cut, the tape on the roll remains on the retaining device for easy access. The tape dispenser is also removable for use with many tape rolls.
