ABSTRACT:
A tape dispenser for an agricultural/industrial environment having wind and dirt dispenses tape adhesive side upwardly exposed. Centrally of the dispenser there is placed a roll of tape conventionally wound in a spiral. The roll of tape has an outwardly exposed adhesive release surface and an inwardly exposed adhesive coated surface and is wound in a first direction. In the dispenser, the tape is threaded from the first direction of its spiral wound path to a reversed path around the roll in a second and opposite direction. Typically, the reversed path is defined over the surfaces of four rollers with the adhesive release side inwardly exposed to the rollers and the adhesive coated side outwardly exposed. The roll and reverse path are encased within a housing to prevent the outwardly exposed adhesive from adhering either to ambient dust or nearby objects. The tape passes free from the housing along a dispensing path to a convention severing tape knife. The dispensing path includes a section open to the interior of the casing which allows the adhesive release side of tape on the dispensing path to attach to a small portion of the exposed adhesive on the reversed path. Thus, the tape is held by adhesive at the adhesive release coating and can be dispensed from the dispensing path and firmly held in the vicinity of the severing knife when tape is severed.
