ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to combinatorial multi-use tape dispenser, particularly to one having various uses for containing small stationery items, not taking much space of a table surface.
A tape dispenser and a stationary case are common utensils in offices, placed on a table for ready use. A table surface for each employee may be often limited and not enough for placing various kinds of office utensils.
A known conventional tap dispenser
1
shown in
FIG. 1
has an intermediate hollow space for placing a tape
2
, which is pulled out from the dispenser
1
for use. To prevent the dispenser
1
from moving forward when pulling the tape
2
the bottom of the dispenser
1
has a hollow space
3
present for filling in something like sand
4
to make the dispenser
1
heavy so as not to be moved with the tape
2
pulled out. The bottom of the dispenser
1
is provided with two holes
5
to communicate with the hollow space
3
for filling in sand
4
therein and then sealed with a seal pads
6
to prevent sand
4
from leaking out. But this kind of manufacturing process is complicated and not convenient. In pulling out the tape
2
, the dispenser
2
is often also pulled forward together if the pulling force is too large to surpass the weight of the dispenser
1
, and then a hand has to be used to push the dispenser
1
immovable. In addition, the seal pads
6
are made of foam material liable to wear off for sand
4
to leak out.
SUMMRY OF THE INVENTION
The purpose of the invention is to offer a combinatorial multi-use tape dispenser having a tape dispenser body placed on a housing and a hollow space formed in the housing for containing small stationary items therein, saving needed dimensions for them on a table surface.
The invention includes a housing, a tape dispenser body placed on the housing and secured by engagement of an upper engage circumferential edge of the housing and a bottom engage circumferential edge of the tape dispenser body. The housing has an upper open side and a hollow rectangular space and preferably separated rooms formed in the hollow space for placing small stationery items such as clips, pins, rubber erasers, a paper knife, pens, etc., when the tape dispenser body is take off the housing, exposing small stationery items to be taken out.
