ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for taping work surfaces without kneeling, stooping, or bending. The apparatus is comprised of a carriage body having wheels and a push handle for imparting locomotion thereto. The push handle is located at a height sufficient for allowing a user to tape a surface from an upright walking position. The carriage body mounts a tape dispenser coupled to a tape registering device on its front surface. A roll of tape is mounted in the tape dispenser, and the tape is first fed manually to the tape registering device, which registers the tape upon a work surface. Upon firm registration, the apparatus is wheeled forward, and the tape is automatically unrolled, and applied to the work surface, until the desired amount of tape is applied. The tape dispenser and tape registering device can be uncoupled as a unit, and selectively positioned in a different geometric plane, for taping a new work surface. For example, the user can selectively tape a ground surface and then adjust the tape dispenser and tape registering device to tape a wall surface.
