[0038] As shown in FIG. 3, the main body 110 according to this embodiment may be equipped with a water tape cutting part 140 on one side and a water tape mounting part 120 on the other side, and may mount the water supply part 130 between the water tape mounting part 120 and the water tape cutting part 140.

[0039] In detail, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the main body 110 may include two plate-shaped side covers (111, 112) coupled to both sides of the water tape mounting part 120, the water supply part 130, and the water tape cutting part 140.

[0040] Here, it is preferable that the plate-shaped side covers 111 and 112 are coupled in an attachable or detachable structure to the water tape mounting part 120, the water supply part 130, and the water tape cutting part 140.

[0041] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the water tape mounting part 120 may be mounted on one side of the main body 110 with being coupled to the inner surface of the paper tube of the water tape in the wound structure so that the water tape can be rotated.

[0042] Specifically, the water tape mounting part 120 may include a coupling shaft 121 and a paper tube coupling part 122 having a specific structure.

[0043] The coupling shaft 121 may be mounted on the other side of the main body 110 in a structure extending by a length corresponding to the width of the water tape. In addition, the paper tube coupling part 122 is configured to be coupled to the coupling shaft 121, and may be coupled to the inner surface of the paper tube so that the center of the coupling shaft 121 and the center of the paper tube of the water tape are eccentric from each other.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 4, the paper tube coupling part 122 may have a closed curved structure in surface contact with a part of the inner surface of the paper tube of the water tape when it is viewed in a longitudinal cross-section.

[0045] Depending on the circumstances, the paper tube coupling part 122 may be made of a material having a predetermined amount of elastic restoring force. In this case, the paper tube coupling part 122 may be coupled to the paper tube in a state of pressing the inner surface of the paper tube of the water tape.

[0046] In this case, the portable water tape feeder can be flexibly applied to paper tubes having various inner diameters.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the water supply part 130 may mount a sponge 131 in a direction opposite to the lower surface of the water tape to apply moisture to the lower surface of the water tape discharged from the water tape mounting part 120 so that the water tape has the adhesive ability.

[0048] In detail, as shown in FIG. 6, the water supply part 130 may include a sponge mounting part 132 and a water supply container 134 having a specific structure.

[0049] The sponge mounting part 132 is an airtight structure in which the sponge 131 is filled therein, and a part of the sponge 131 protrudes from the top by a predetermined height, and water can be supplied to the inside from one side.

[0050] In addition, the water supply container 134 has a structure capable of accommodating water therein, and is mounted on a water supply container mounting part 133 to supply water to the inside of the sponge mounting part 132.

[0051] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 8, the sponge mounting part 132 may have a structure capable of opening one side to open or seal the inside to the outside. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, it is preferable that the sponge mounting part 132 is detachably mounted from the plate-shaped side covers 111 and 112 of the main body 110. The sponge mounting part 132 having such a configuration allows a user to easily replace or manage the sponge filled in the sponge mounting part 132.

[0052] It is preferable that the above-mentioned water supply container mounting part 133 has a check valve so that water can flow in one direction from the water supply container 134 toward the inside of the sponge mounting part 132. The check valve is a member that allows the flow of fluid only in one direction, and in this embodiment, it is preferable that the check valve has a simple membrane structure.

[0053] In some cases, the water supply part 130 is equipped with a water supply container mounting part 133 in one side thereof, which is capable of supplying water with dispersing the pressure in the water supply container by simultaneously introducing water and by applying various membrane structures, and the water supply part 130 may include a water supply container 134 for supplying a large amount of water therein.

[0054] In addition, a shut-off valve may be equipped in the water supply container 134 mounting part 133 to seal the water supply container 134 mounting part 133 when the water supply container 134 is separated from the water supply container 134 mounting part 133. In this case, various structures of valves may be applied as well, but the above-mentioned single membrane structure can be applied.

[0055] In some cases, the water supply container 134 mounting part 133 may have a pivot joint capable of changing the mounting direction of the water supply container 134 so that the mounting direction of the water supply container 134 can be changed in various directions according to the usage environment and the user's intention.

[0056] Meanwhile, it is possible to provide a water supply part 130 capable of preventing leakage of moisture-based liquids such as water by using the porous spongy tissue product sponge 131 according to the present embodiment as a stopper for a water container even if the water container is tipped over or inverted, and capable of discharging water or moisture-based liquid by applying a certain pressure to the surface of the porous spongy tissue product 131.

[0057] The water supply part 130 according to the present embodiment has a closed structure in which the spongy 131 is filled therein, and a part of the spongy 131 protrudes from the top by a predetermined height and stores water therein.

[0058] In detail, the scientific principle of the water supply part 130 will be described.

[0059] When water or a moisture-based liquid is poured into the cylindrical container of which the top and bottom are penetrated and the lower entrance is blocked with a porous spongy tissue product (sponge, etc.) like a stopper, countless pores in the porous spongy tissue product act as thin tubes and absorb moisture-based liquids such as water through the capillary action phenomenon. However, when it reaches the limit of absorption, the water-based liquids such as water absorbed out of the porous spongy tissue product is discharged out of the cylindrical container by the force of gravity.

[0060] However, when water or a moisture-based liquid is poured into the cylindrical container of which the top is closed and the lower entrance is blocked with a porous spongy tissue product like a stopper, the water-based liquids such as water is not discharged out of the cylindrical container because the pressure of the inside of the closed cylindrical container is lower than the pressure of the outside of the closed cylindrical container which is closed by the porous spongy tissue product.

[0061] Here, when a certain pressure is applied to the porous spongy tissue product, water-based liquids such as water can be discharged out of the container.

[0062] It is possible to make a portable water tape feeder by modifying and combining the water supply part 130 according to the present embodiment with existing tape cutters using plastic tape (OPP tape) as well as various types of cutters.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 3, the water tape cutting part 140 may mount a pressing roller 142 that comes into contact with the upper surface of the water tape to which the moisture is not applied and presses the water tape toward the surface of the object to be sticked at the same time as the water tape is discharged outside, and a cutting blade 141 for cutting the water tape.

[0064] In some cases, the cutting blade 141 of the water tape cutting part 140 configured to cut the water tape may have an arrow mark printed or mounted at the center thereof. The arrow mark according to this embodiment can be used as a means to confirm the position when applying the water tape to the paper box. In case of OPP tape, the tape can be applied in a straight line when applying to the paper box since the paper box can be seen through the OPP tape, but in case of the water tape, the box cannot be seen through the tape since it is opaque. So, referencing the arrow mark printed or mounted on the cutting blade makes it easy and accurate to apply the water tape.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 4, the water tape upper surface cover 150 may be mounted in a hinge structure 153 at a position adjacent to the water tape cutting part 140 with extending in the direction of the water tape mounting part 120 by a predetermined length and surround a part of the space of the water tape mounting part 120.

[0066] Specifically, the water tape upper surface cover 150 may have a structure including a guide part 151 and a pressing protrusion part 152 having a specific structure.

[0067] The guide part 151 may guide the positions of the upper and lower surfaces of the water tape released from the water tape mounting part 120 to specific positions.

[0068] The pressing protrusion part 152 may have a structure protruding toward the upper surface of the water tape so that the lower surface of the water tape drawn out from the guide part 151 can contact the sponge 131 of the water supply part 130.

[0069] When the water tape upper surface cover 150 is gripped by the user, the pressing protrusion part 152 of the water tape upper surface cover 150 naturally presses the upper surface of the water tape 10, and the lower surface of the water tape 10 comes into contact with the sponge 131 mounted on the sponge mounting part 132. At this time, moisture absorbed by the sponge 131 is transferred to the lower surface of the water tape 10. Subsequently, the water tape 10 is drawn out to one side by the user's movement, and at the same time, moisture is continuously applied to the lower surface of the water tape 10. The water tape 10 with moisture applied to the lower surface can be attached to the surface of the object to be taped while being closely adhered to the surface of the object using the pressing roller 142 of the water tape cutting part 140. After taping an appropriate amount of water tape on the surface of the object, the user can cut the water tape 10 using the water tape cutting part 140.

[0070] In some cases, the hinge structure 153 is mounted behind the guide part 151 of the water tape upper surface cover 150 to give resistance to the surface of the water tape being released from the water tape mounting part 120 to adjust the strength of unwinding.

[0071] As described above, the portable water tape feeder according to the present embodiment which includes a main body 110 having a specific structure, a water tape mounting part 120, a water supply part 130 and a water tape cutting part 140, stably mounts a tape that has adhesive ability when in contact with moisture on one side, stably supplies moisture to one side of the water tape, and feeds the water tape easily.

[0072] In the above detailed description of the present invention, only specific embodiments thereof have been described. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiments mentioned in the detailed description, but rather is understood to include all modifications, equivalents and alternatives within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

[0073] That is, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments and descriptions described above, and anyone having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can make various modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims, and such variations fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
