ABSTRACT:
A tape applicator adapted to be hand held and used to apply a length of pressure sensitive adhesive coated tape to a substrate and to cut the applied length from a supply of the tape in the dispenser. An anvil spaced from a hub that supports a roll of tape may be manually rubbed along the backing of tape being applied by moving the applicator to firmly press it against the substrate, and a cutting edge on the side of the anvil opposite the hub may be used to sever the applied tape by pivoting the dispenser. A retainer will be engaged by the adhesive coating on the tape upon cutting of the tape to retain the cut end of the tape in position adjacent the anvil so that it can be manually pressed against and adhered to a new substrate, and the adhesive coating on the tape will be peeled away from the retainer when that cut end is adhered to a new substrate and the dispenser is initially moved to apply the new length of tape. A resiliently flexible support member fixed at one end relative to the hub and anvil will support the applicator along a horizontal substrate with the anvil spaced away from the substrate, and will be resiliently deflected by pressing the housing toward the substrate to bring the anvil into contact with tape being applied to that substrate.
