A manual device for applying a coating to a support by means of tape, in which a first angle formed between the median plane of the applicator tip and the half-line extending from the middle of the application edge of the applicator tip and passing through the point arranged at the intersection of the outer periphery of the first winding and the radius of the first winding perpendicular to the median plane, is between −1° and 10°, whereas a second angle formed between the median plane and the half-line extending from the middle of the application edge and passing through the point arranged at the intersection of the outer periphery of the second winding and the radius of the second winding perpendicular to the median plane, is between 1° and 10°.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for drywall banjo tools for applying joint tape. An example drywall banjo for applying joint tape includes a banjo body. The banjo body includes a panel and side walls protruding from outer edges of the panel to define a cavity that is configured to contain joint compound mud. The side walls include a first side wall that extends between an inlet and an outlet. The example disclosed drywall banjo also includes a sloped mound configured to couple to and project away from the first side wall within the cavity. The sloped mound is configured to guide the joint compound mud within the cavity toward the joint tape travelling between the inlet and the outlet to enable the joint compound mud to uniformly collect on a side of the joint tape.

A multi-tape dispenser, for dispensing reversed-conjoined and non-reversed-conjoined adhesive tape end portions from adhesive tape rolls, includes a housing structure configured with at least two rotatable tape-roll hubs installed perpendicularly to the front wall panel and rear wall panel so that at least one of the tape rolls installed on the rotatable tape-roll hubs is reversed and at least one adhesive edge of at least one tape roll is conjoined partially and longitudinally to a reversed adhesive edge of at least one rear tape roll when the reversed-conjoined tape end portions are being dispensed simultaneously on the same path. The multi-tape dispenser may be manufactured for use with a combination of two tape-roll hubs or three tape-roll hubs with tape rolls mounted thereto to produce reversed-conjoined tape end portions. The dispenser can also be used for dispensing at least one tape roll without being conjoined.

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.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for drywall banjo apparatus for applying joint tape. An example tool for applying joint tape to a corner drywall joint includes a base and a wheel configured to rotatably couple to the base and roll along the corner drywall joint. The wheel includes a body that defines an outer surface. The outer surface includes a first angled surface configured to press the joint tape against a first drywall defining the corner drywall joint, a second angled surface opposite the first angled surface and configured to press the joint tape against a second drywall defining the corner drywall joint, and a rounded vertex defined between the first angled surface and the second angled surface. The rounded vertex is rounded to deter the wheel from perforating the joint tape.

A hand-held handle dispenser comprising: a main frame (12) having a handle (14), an adhesive tape roll (16) provided on a rear side of the main frame for delivering an adhesive tape, an application element (18) provided on the front side of the main frame for applying the adhesive tape onto a parcel and a cutting blade (20) for cutting the adhesive tape, and further comprising an insert strip roll cartridge (26) for storing an insert strip roll (28), transport and affixing elements (26, 30) for conveying the insert strip (24) from the cartridge to the application element and affixing it against the adhesive tape to form a handle, and a holding structure (13) supporting a system (32) for cutting the insert strip.

A device, a system and a method for dispensing adhesive elements are provided. The device comprising a first holder, a second holder, and an alignment element. The first holder is configured to rotatably hold a film having adhesive elements and a protective layer attached on adhesive areas of the adhesive elements. The second holder is configured to receive the protective layer as the protective layer is peeled off the adhesive areas of the adhesive elements while the adhesive elements are moved towards an alignment element. The alignment element is arranged in a direction of movement of the adhesive elements and configured to receive and align the adhesive elements at a predetermined position on the alignment element.

Dispensers, systems and methods dispense strips of a first adhesive tape which have adhesive on both sides and on one side is covered with a liner. A first storage unit from which the first adhesive tape is drawn off is provided, and a second storage unit from which a second adhesive tape is drawn off is provided. A connection installation by means of which the first adhesive tape and the second adhesive tape are interconnected so as to form a two-ply adhesive tape is provided, and an application installation by means of which the two-ply adhesive tape as a composite is capable of being applied to a substrate is provided.

The banjo body includes a panel and side walls protruding from outer edges of the panel to define a cavity that is configured to contain joint compound mud. The side walls include a first side wall that extends between an inlet and an outlet. The example disclosed drywall banjo also includes a sloped mound configured to couple to and project away from the first side wall within the cavity. The sloped mound is configured to guide the joint compound mud within the cavity toward the joint tape travelling between the inlet and the outlet to enable the joint compound mud to uniformly collect on a side of the joint tape.
