Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to auxiliary tools, and in particular to a tape-sticking tool that facilitates sticking tape into the groove of a workpiece. Background Technology

[0002] The content in this section only provides background information related to this utility model and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] In industrial production and daily life, it is often necessary to apply tape to the surface of objects. In particular, in some situations, it may be necessary to apply tape to the inside of a groove, such as to the bottom wall of the groove. People usually use simple tools such as fingers or sliders to apply tape to the bottom wall of the groove. However, in this case, due to the narrow space inside the groove, it is difficult to accurately position the tape with simple tools such as fingers or sliders. Therefore, the tape is easy to deviate inside the groove, resulting in uneven gaps between the tape and the two side walls of the groove, wrinkles in the tape, air bubbles between the tape and the groove, or even tape being mistakenly applied to the side wall of the groove. The efficiency, accuracy, flatness, firmness, and aesthetics of tape application are all low.

[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to develop a tape-applying tool that facilitates the application of tape to the bottom wall of a groove. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a tape-applying tool that facilitates the application of tape to the bottom wall of a groove. Another objective of this invention is to improve the efficiency of the tape-applying process. A further objective of this invention is to improve the accuracy of tape application.

[0006] This utility model provides a tape application tool, which includes: a bracket; a roller rotatably attached to the bracket, the roller including a cylindrical body, the roller being configured to extend into a groove in a workpiece and roll along the groove to apply tape to the bottom surface of the groove; and a guide plate attached to the bracket above the roller, and the guide plate having a tape positioning groove with one open end to guide the tape to the roller.

[0007] In some embodiments, a guide groove extending in the circumferential direction of the roller body may be provided on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the roller body, the guide groove being configured to receive and guide the tape.

[0008] In some embodiments, the two axial end faces of the roller may be provided with annular protrusions that protrude radially outward from the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the body, and the annular protrusions form the two sidewalls of the guide groove.

[0009] In some implementations, the tape positioning groove of the guide plate and the guide groove of the roller can be aligned in the radial direction of the roller.

[0010] In some implementations, the depth of the guide groove in the radial direction of the roller can be one-third to two-thirds of the thickness of the tape.

[0011] In some implementations, the width of the roller in the axial direction can be equal to the width of the groove in the workpiece.

[0012] In some implementations, the rollers may be made of plastic.

[0013] In some implementations, the roller may be made of polycarbonate plastic.

[0014] In some implementations, the tape applicator may also include a handle attached to a bracket.

[0015] In some embodiments, the opening of the tape positioning groove may taper from the outside of the tape positioning groove toward the inside of the tape positioning groove at its free end.

[0016] The tape applicator of this invention can prevent the tape from shifting in the width direction of the groove during the process of applying the tape to the groove of the workpiece. Therefore, the tape can be quickly, accurately and firmly applied to the groove by simply moving the roller of the tape applicator in the groove. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The following description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention, its application, or its uses. It should be understood that in all these figures, similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The figures only schematically illustrate the concept and principles of embodiments of the invention and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and scale of each embodiment. Certain parts of specific figures may be depicted in an exaggerated manner to illustrate relevant details or structures of embodiments of the invention.

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, the directional terms related to "upper" and "lower" are used to describe the upper and lower positions of the views shown in the accompanying drawings. In practical applications, the positional relationships of "upper" and "lower" used herein can be defined according to the actual situation, and these relationships can be reversed.

[0023] Figure 1 A perspective view of the tape application tool 1 according to the present invention is shown; Figure 2 A partially enlarged perspective view of the tape application tool 1 is shown; Figure 3 A side view of the tape application tool 1 is shown, wherein the direction perpendicular to the paper and inward is the forward direction of the tape application tool 1.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the tape application tool 1 according to this invention is particularly suitable for applying tape 3 to a groove 210 in a workpiece 2. The tape application tool 1 includes a support 110 and a roller 120 rotatably attached to the support 110. The roller 120 is configured to extend into and roll along the groove 210 of the workpiece 2 to roll the tape 3, thereby applying the tape 3 to the bottom surface of the groove 210. Figure 2 As best shown, roller 120 includes a cylindrical body 121 rotatable about its central axis, which is attached to bracket 110 via a rotation axis. Preferably, the axial width of roller 120 can be configured to be equal to or slightly less than the width of groove 210 of workpiece 2, allowing the user to easily operate roller 120 to roll in groove 210, and the side walls of groove 210 can limit roller 120 to prevent it from shifting in the width direction of groove 210 while rolling along it. In other embodiments, roller 120 can also be applied to groove 210 with a larger width, in which case roller 120 can roll along one side wall of groove 210 to limit roller 120.

[0025] The roller 120 can be formed of a material with a certain degree of elasticity to apply uniform pressure to the tape 3 during rolling, ensuring that the tape 3 adheres smoothly to the bottom wall of the groove 210 and preventing air bubbles, wrinkles, or breakage of the tape 3 between the tape 3 and the workpiece 2 during the bonding process. Preferably, the roller 120 can be formed of commonly used plastic materials, such as known polycarbonate plastics. The roller 120 can be formed, for example, by injection molding to facilitate mass production.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the support 110 is constructed as a generally L-shaped plate for easy user operation, and the roller 120 is attached to one end of the support 110. A handle 140 for the user to grip and operate the tape application tool 1 can also be connected to the opposite end of the support 110. In other embodiments, the support 110 can be configured in any suitable shape, and the roller 120 can be attached to other suitable locations on the support 110 besides the ends, such as on the side edges of the support 110, as long as the support 110 does not obstruct the roller 120 from entering the groove 210 of the workpiece 2 and rolling along the groove 210.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the tape application tool 1 also includes a guide plate 130 attached to a bracket above the roller 120. The guide plate 130 has a tape positioning groove 131 with one open end, which receives and positions the tape 3 to guide it onto the roller 120. Further, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As best shown, a guide groove 123 extending in the circumferential direction of the roller 120 can be provided on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface 122 of the roller body 121. The guide groove 123 is configured to receive and guide the adhesive tape 3. Preferably, the depth of the guide groove 123 in the radial direction of the roller 120 is set to be less than the thickness of the adhesive tape 3. In particular, the depth of the guide groove 123 in the radial direction of the roller 120 can be configured to be one-third to two-thirds of the thickness of the adhesive tape 3. Thus, on the one hand, when the roller 120 rolls along the groove 210 of the workpiece 2, the guide groove 123 with a certain depth can position the adhesive tape 3 to prevent undesirable displacement of the adhesive tape 3 in the width direction of the groove 210; on the other hand, the depth of the guide groove 123 is less than the thickness of the adhesive tape 3, so that the roller 120 can apply pressure to the adhesive tape 3 when rolling to firmly adhere the adhesive tape 3 to the bottom wall of the groove 210. In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the roller 120 has two annular protrusions 124 on its two axial end faces, each protruding radially outward from the cylindrical outer peripheral surface 122 of the body 121. These two annular protrusions 124 form the two sidewalls of the guide groove 123. In other embodiments, the guide groove 123 can also be formed in other ways, for example by removing material from the center of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface 122 of the body 121 of the roller 120.

[0028] Preferably, such as Figure 2 Ideally, the tape positioning groove 131 of the guide plate 130 can be configured to align with the guide groove 123 of the roller 120 in the radial direction of the roller 120, so that the tape positioning groove 131 can accurately and smoothly guide the tape 3 received therein into the guide groove 123 of the roller 120. Figure 2 As shown, the opening of the tape positioning groove 131 can be configured to taper from the outside of the tape positioning groove 131 toward the inside of the tape positioning groove 131 at its free end, so that the user can introduce the tape 3 into the tape positioning groove 131.

[0029] When using the tape applicator 1 to apply tape 3, the user can first pull out one end of tape 3 by hand and position it in the tape positioning groove 131 of the guide plate 130 and in the guide groove 123 of the roller 120, so that the sticky side of tape 3 faces the groove 210 of the workpiece 2. Next, stick one end of tape 3 to the desired tape starting position in the groove 210 of the workpiece 2. Hold the handle 140 of the tape applicator 1 with one hand and move the tape applicator 1 so that the roller 120 rolls along the groove 210 to roll and stick the tape 3 to the bottom wall of the groove 210. At the same time, the other hand can hold the tape 3 that has not yet been applied to adjust the tension of the tape 3.

[0030] In this invention, multiple limiting structures can be used to prevent the tape 3 from shifting in the width direction of the groove 210 when it is being applied. First, the tape positioning groove 131 of the guide plate 130 can conveniently and accurately guide the tape 3 to the roller 120, so as to avoid the tape 3 shifting in the width direction relative to the roller 120. Further, the guide groove 123 on the roller 120 can further limit the tape 3 to prevent the tape 3 from shifting in the width direction relative to the roller 120 when the roller 120 is rolling. In addition, preferably, the width of the roller 120 in the axial direction can be equal to or slightly smaller than the width of the groove 210 of the workpiece 2, so that the two side walls of the groove 210 can limit the roller 120 to prevent the roller 120 from shifting in the width direction of the groove 210 when it is rolling. The combination of these limiting structures can achieve the best tape application effect, but it should be understood that these limiting structures can also prevent the tape 3 from shifting in the groove 210 when used alone. Therefore, by using the tape application tool 1 according to this utility model, the user can quickly, accurately, and reliably apply the tape 3 to the bottom wall of the groove 210 of the workpiece 2 by simply moving the roller 120 along the groove 210 of the workpiece 2. This effectively avoids undesirable offset of the tape 3 in the width direction, ensuring that the tape 3 maintains a uniform gap with the side wall of the groove 210. It also effectively avoids the generation of undesirable air bubbles or wrinkles during the application process, thus improving work efficiency and the quality of tape application.
