ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a packing tool, and more particularly to a tape dispenser, which can hold the tail of tape on the dispenser.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1
shows a conventional tape dispenser
90
, which is applied to the workplace, such as the warehouse department of a factory, the post office or delivery company where need to pack boxes and the like a great quantity and frequently. Please refer to
FIG. 1
, the tape dispenser
90
disposes a tape roll thereon. The tape
91
is drawn out and runs along a cylinder
92
with a pressing piece
93
pressing the tape
91
. Then the tape
91
is drawn to the cutter
94
.
In operating, please refer to
FIG. 2
, operator holds the handle of the tape dispenser
90
and attaches the tail of the tape
91
on the box
95
first. Thus, operator can move the dispenser
90
to draw the tape
91
out to make it attached on the box
95
. After packed the box
95
, the operator can turn the dispenser
90
an angle to make the cutter
94
cutting the tape
91
off. However, when the cutter
94
cuts the tape
91
off, there is nothing to hold the tail of the tape
91
that will make the tape tail waving freely. Operator needs to holds the tail of the tape
91
to make it attached on another box
95
first, and then he/she can draw the dispenser
90
to make the tape
91
attached on the box.
An earlier invention to fix the problem is to provide a metal seat member, which is the element labeled
96
in FIG.
1
and FIG.
2
. The metal seat member
96
can produce static electricity on the surface to make the plate, which is the element labeled
97
in FIG.
1
and
FIG. 2
, between the cylinder
92
and the cutter
94
attracting the tail of the tape
91
. Thus, the plate
97
will attract the tail of the tape
91
the after the tape
91
being cut. But I found the seat member
96
can not concentrate the static electricity on the plate
97
only, the static electricity will spread to the entire seat member
96
. So sometime the plate
96
is fail to attract the tape.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a tape dispenser, which can hold the tail of tape fixedly after the tape being cut off.
According to the objective of the present invention, a tape dispenser comprises a handle. A base plate is disposed at an end of the handle, which has a tape mount pivoted at back side thereof and a seat member disposed at front side thereof. The seat member provides a cylinder for free rotating and a cutter. An attracting piece is disposed on the seat member between the cylinder and the cutter, which can produce static electricity on the surface thereof. Thus, the tail of the tape can be attracted by the attracting piece.
