Handheld tape dispenser

Abstract

This invention comprises a tape holder body, a tape sleeve, and a tape loop. The tape sleeve is located on the tape holder body and is positioned opposite to the blade on the tape holder body. The tape loop has a loop body and at least one tape retaining part. The loop body is fitted onto the tape sleeve and can rotate around the tape sleeve, with a portion of the inner circumferential surface of the loop body abutting the tape sleeve. At least one tape retaining part protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the loop body, and each tape retaining part has at least one abutting protrusion. This invention uses a tape collar to support the tape, which can firmly bind the tape and allow the tape and tape collar to rotate together. Because the inner circumferential surface of the collar body can abut against the tape sleeve, the tape collar and tape can stably rotate around the tape sleeve. This solves the problems of uneven tape pulling and easy tape roll falling off caused by the large difference between the inner diameter of the tape roll and the outer diameter of the tape sleeve in existing handheld tape dispensers. It provides a handheld tape dispenser that can firmly bind the tape roll.

Claims

1. A handheld tape dispenser, comprising: a tape dispenser body including a blade; a tape sleeve disposed on the tape dispenser body and positioned opposite to the blade; and a tape loop including a loop body and at least one tape retaining portion; the loop body is fitted onto the tape sleeve and is rotatable around the tape sleeve, a portion of the inner circumferential surface of the loop body abutting the tape sleeve; each of the tape retaining portions is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the loop body and has at least one abutting protrusion.

2. The handheld tape dispenser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the tape sleeve includes an axis, a first sleeve segment, and a second sleeve segment; the first sleeve segment protrudes from the tape dispenser body, and the first sleeve segment and the second sleeve segment extend sequentially along the axis of the tape sleeve; the diameter of the second sleeve segment is smaller than the diameter of the first sleeve segment, and a top abutment surface is formed at the junction of the first sleeve segment and the second sleeve segment; the collar body is fitted onto the second sleeve segment of the tape sleeve, and a portion of its inner circumferential surface abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the second sleeve segment of the sleeve.

3. The handheld tape holder as described in claim 2, wherein the second sleeve segment includes at least one limiting protrusion, each limiting protrusion protruding from the outer circumferential surface of the second sleeve segment; the sleeve body abuts against the top abutment surface and is blocked by the at least one limiting protrusion.

4. The handheld tape dispenser as claimed in claim 3, wherein each of the limiting protrusions includes a guide slope that is inclined toward the axis of the tape sleeve rather than the first sleeve segment.

5. The handheld tape dispenser as claimed in claim 3, wherein the tape collar includes an axis and at least one inner engaging portion, the at least one inner engaging portion being disposed on the inner circumferential surface of the collar body corresponding to the position of the at least one limiting protrusion; each inner engaging portion includes an engaging groove parallel to the axis of the tape collar.

6. The handheld tape dispenser as claimed in claim 5, wherein each of the inner engaging portions includes a stop protruding into its engaging groove.

7. The handheld tape dispenser as claimed in claim 6, wherein the stop of each of the inner engaging portions includes a guide ramp inclined toward the axis of the tape loop.
