ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a tape dispenser, and more particularly to a tape dispenser with a removable tape reel seat.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As shown in
FIG. 1
, a prior art tape dispenser comprises a seat body
30
which is provided at the front end with a tape cutter
31
, and in the top with a long groove
32
. The seat body
30
is further provided on each of the two side walls of the groove
32
with an insertion slot
33
respectively. These two insertion slots
33
extend downwards for a predetermined distance from the top of the two walls such that they are curved toward the front side of the seat body
30
, and that they have an opening at the top side of the seat body
30
. A tape reel seat
34
is provided with a tape roll
40
mounted thereon. The tape reel seat
34
is provided at the center of two sides with a shaft pillar
341
. The two shaft pillars
341
of the tape reel seat
34
are slid into the curved portion from the opening of the insertion slots
33
, thereby enabling the tape reel seat
34
to be rotatably mounted on the seat body
30
.
The tape reel seat
34
is retained by means of the curved shape of the two insertion slots
33
. Such a retaining force provided by the retaining mechanism is relatively weak. In the event that the seat body
30
is tilted or put upside down, the tape reel seat
34
is apt to escape unexpectedly, thereby resulting in separation or loss of the tape reel seat
34
. As a result, the prior art tape dispenser is useless.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a tape dispenser with a tape reel seat which has a stronger retaining ability.
The present invention comprises a seat body having a tape cutter and a long groove located in the top side. A joining hole is disposed in the top side of the seat body and neighbored at one side of the groove. The bottom side of the seat body has a bottom. seat with a greater weight. A tape reel seat is provided at one end with an insertion portion, and at other end with a mounting portion for mounting a tape roll. The insertion portion of the tape reel seat is inserted into the joining hole to enable the tape reel seat to be removably confined on the seat body.
