ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a combined tape dispenser and hand-held tape applicator formed of a minimum of molded components designed for interlocking assembly without fasteners. The housing includes a handgrip lockable either in an extended position when employed to apply tape to a surface or in a retracted position when not in use or when used to dispense tape from a desk top support. The tape is mounted on a tape carrier normally biased to an extended tape-applicating position and manually retractable to expose a normally guarded cutting blade for severing the tape. While the carrier is moving between retracted and extended positions, a tape catcher clutches the tape reawardly from its free end and holds it captive with the free end thereof extending outwardly beyond the dispensing port in visible readiness for precise visible attachment to a surface to be taped. The tape carrier is movable toward its retracted position either by a trigger adjacent the handgrip or by pivotal movement of the handgrip substantially to its retracted position. A blade guard is normally held in a position to shield the cutter from the tape when the carrier is in its extended position. When the carrier moves to its retracted position, the blade guard is suddenly released to rotate freely from its shielding position to an unblocking position allowing the tape to be suddenly forced against the fixed blade for rapidly cutting the tape.
