ABSTRACT:
A combined tape reel storage, transport, and dispensing device has a core supporting axle holding a tape roll for free rotation within a generally cylindrical durable polypropylene housing. Tape is fed through a tangential feed slot, over a support ledge, and beneath a V-shaped cutter. The cutter smoothly severs a desired length of tape without twisting or binding. The recessed cutting edge also prevents the user from jabbing or cutting themselves. A finger sized slot in the cutter allows precise and safe feeding and starting of the tape unwinding process. An integral carrying handle is incorporated into the housing top and a flat support surface is incorporated into the housing bottom. An integral central boss forms the axle for supporting the spool of tape. A flat retaining bar secures the tape within the housing while providing instant visual inspection of the remaining tape on the reel. The retaining bar is secured to the housing with a quickly removable wing nut or other quick fastener to allow easy replacement of tape spools.
