[0024] Figure 1 and Figure 2 a perspective view of the tape dispenser 1 in different states according to one embodiment of the present application is shown, Figure 3 and Figure 4 a perspective view of the tape dispenser 1 with tape 2 installed in different states of use is shown, Figure 5 a schematic view of the tape dispenser 1 being stored in a non-use state is shown.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tape dispenser 1 includes a first clamping rod 11 and a second clamping rod 12. The first clamping rod 11 includes a first rod body 111, and the second clamping rod 12 includes a second rod body 121. The first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12 are hinged by an elastic element 13, so that the second clamping rod 12 can be relative to the initial position of the first clamping rod 11 without external force (such as Figure 1 ​between a closed position (as shown in Figure 2 The elastic element 13 exerts a biasing force on the first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12 to bias the second clamping rod 12 towards the initial position. In the initial position, the distal end 112 of the first rod body 111 of the first clamping rod 11 and the distal end 122 of the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12 can abut each other. Alternatively, a stop portion (not shown) can be provided between the first rod body 111 of the first clamping rod 11 and the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12 to allow the first rod body 111 and the second rod body 121 to abut the stop portion at any predetermined position without external force, for example Figure 1 the first rod body 111 and the second rod body 121 shown in the figure are substantially parallel. In comparison with the initial position, in the open position, the second clamping rod 12 is pivoted relative to the first clamping rod 11 such that the distal end 122 of the second rod body 121 is away from the distal end 112 of the first rod body 111, and the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121 is close to the proximal end 113 of the first rod body 111. In combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the first rod body 111 of the first clamping rod 11 can pass through the central hole 21 of the adhesive tape 2 to support the adhesive tape 2. The first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12 hinged by the elastic element 13 form a clamping member similar to a card. A user can exert a force on the second clamping rod 12 at the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121 to overcome the biasing force of the elastic element 13 to move the second clamping rod 12 from Figure 1 the initial position shown in the figure to Figure 2 the open position shown in the figure, so as to wrap the adhesive tape 2 on the first rod body 111 of the first clamping rod 11 from the side of the distal end 112. Subsequently, the user can release the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121, so that the second clamping rod 12 returns to Figure 1 the initial position shown in the figure under the biasing force of the elastic element 13, so that the adhesive tape 2 is clamped and fixed by the hinged first clamping rod 11 and second clamping rod 12. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first clamping rod 11 can be provided with a stop portion 114 protruding from the first rod body 111 towards the second clamping rod 12 at the distal end 112 of the first rod body 111. The stop portion 114 can be used to prevent the adhesive tape 2 from falling off the first rod body 111.

[0026] As shown in the figure, the first clamping rod 11 can be provided with a stop portion 114 protruding from the first rod body 111 towards the second clamping rod 12 at the distal end 112 of the first rod body 111. The stop portion 114 can be used to prevent the adhesive tape 2 from falling off the first rod body 111. Figure 1 and Figure 4As best shown, the second clamping rod 12 further comprises a cutting portion 124 provided on the second rod body 121 for cutting the adhesive tape 2. In the present embodiment, the cutting portion 124 comprises serrations protruding from the second rod body 121. The cutting portion 124 can be formed of thin and hard plastic, metal or any other suitable material, and the cutting portion 124 can be integrally formed with the second rod body 121 or attached to the second rod body 121 as a separate component. Preferably, the cutting portion 124 is made of hard plastic and can be integrally injection molded with the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12. In other embodiments, any other suitable cutting portion can be provided, such as a blade without serrations, etc.

[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 As best shown, the second clamping rod 12 can further comprise a protrusion 125 protruding from the second rod body 121 and extending along the length direction of the second rod body 121. The protrusion 125 can be used to slide along the outer peripheral surface of the adhesive tape 2 to find the end of the adhesive tape 2 and pick it up. The protrusion 125 is preferably formed in a thin sheet shape. Preferably, the protrusion 125 is made of plastic and can be integrally injection molded with the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12. The cutting portion 124 and the protrusion 125 of the second clamping rod 12 can be spaced apart in the circumferential direction, for example, the cutting portion 124 and the protrusion 125 can be disposed at an interval of 180°.

[0028] The first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12 can be directly hinged to each other by the elastic element 13, or can be indirectly hinged by an additional intermediate element. Preferably, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the adhesive tape dispenser 1 further comprises a bracket 14 connecting the first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12. The first clamping rod 11 is hinged to the bracket 14 by the elastic element 13, and the hinged portion is preferably provided on one side close to the proximal end 113 of the first rod body 111. As Figure 1As best shown, the elastic element 13 can include a coil spring 132 wound around a shaft 131. The first lever body 111 of the first clamping lever 11 is provided with a pair of lugs 115 each having a hole 116 for receiving the shaft 131. Similarly, the bracket 14 can include a pair of lugs (not shown) with holes, the pair of lugs of the bracket 14 can be arranged on the inner side or the outer side of the pair of lugs 115 of the first clamping lever 11. The shaft 131 passes through the holes 116 on the pair of lugs 115 of the first clamping lever 11 and the holes on the pair of lugs of the bracket 14, and one end 133 of the coil spring 132 is clamped by the first clamping lever 11 and the other end 134 of the coil spring 132 is clamped by the bracket 14, thereby the first clamping lever 11 is hinged to the bracket 14. The bracket 14 further includes a mounting hole 141 for receiving the second lever body 121 of the second clamping lever 12. The proximal end 123 of the second lever body 121 of the second clamping lever 12 passes through the mounting hole 141 of the bracket 14 to be connected to the bracket 14. Preferably, the proximal end 123 of the second lever body 121 of the second clamping lever 12 is interference fitted in the mounting hole 141, so that the second lever body 121 can rotate in the mounting hole 141 relative to the bracket 14, and the second lever body 121 can be self-locked in any position relative to the bracket 14 by the friction force between the second lever body 121 and the mounting hole 141. Alternatively, the outer diameter of the proximal end 123 of the second lever body 121 of the second clamping lever 12 can be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 141 of the bracket 14, and an additional locking mechanism can be provided to lock the second clamping lever 12 relative to the bracket 14. The bracket 14 can include a plate-shaped portion 142 hinged to the first lever body 111, and the mounting hole 141 can be formed through the plate-shaped portion 142. The bracket 14 can further include a gripping portion 143 for the user to hold. In the present embodiment, the gripping portion 143 is configured to extend from the plate-shaped portion 142 towards the direction opposite to the second clamping lever 12, i.e., towards the direction away from the distal end 122 of the second lever body 121 of the second clamping lever 12. The gripping portion 143 can be configured to form an obtuse angle, a right angle or an acute angle with the plate-shaped portion 142 according to actual needs. The first lever body 111 of the first clamping lever 11 can also include another gripping portion for the user to hold. Thus, the user can hold the gripping portion of the first clamping lever 11 and the gripping portion 143 of the bracket 14 with, for example, the thumb and the index finger respectively, so as to operate the adhesive tape dispenser 1 to open. In the present embodiment, the hinge portion (i.e., the hole 116) separates the first lever body 111 of the first clamping lever 11 into a proximal end section on one side (the proximal end side) of the hinge portion and a distal end section on the other side (the distal end side) of the hinge portion, and the other gripping portion can be provided on the proximal end section of the first lever body 111. For example, the proximal end 113 of the first lever body 111 of the first clamping lever 11 can be configured as a gripping portion for the user to hold.The proximal end section and the distal end section of the first lever body 111 can be configured to be 180° or to be obtuse about the hinge, specifically about the center of the hole 116, as necessary. The term "obtuse" used herein includes both the case where the proximal end section of the first lever body 111 is inclined toward the second clamping lever 12 relative to the distal end section of the first lever body 111 to form an obtuse angle, and the case where the proximal end section of the first lever body 111 is inclined away from the second clamping lever 12 relative to the distal end section of the first lever body 111 to form an obtuse angle in the reverse direction. As shown in the figure, preferably, the proximal end section of the first lever body 111 on the proximal end side of the hole 116 is 180°, i.e., on the same straight line, as the distal end section of the first lever body 111 on the distal end side of the hole 116. Figure 1

[0029] ​The second clamping rod 12 can further include a fixing cap 126. The fixing cap 126 has a size larger than that of the mounting hole 141 of the bracket 14. The fixing cap 126 is connected to the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121 passing through the mounting hole 141 of the bracket 14 to assist the connection of the second rod body 121 to the bracket 14, preventing the second rod body 121 from being detached from the mounting hole 141 of the bracket 14. The fixing cap 126 can be fixedly connected to the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12. For example, the fixing cap 126 can be provided with a mounting hole (not shown) similar to the bracket 14, such that the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12 is interference-fitted in the mounting hole to fix the second rod body 121 with the fixing cap 126, or the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12 can be bonded to the fixing cap 126 by an adhesive after passing through the mounting hole 141 of the bracket 14. When the fixing cap 126 is fixedly connected to the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12, the fixing cap 126 can also be used as a handle for the user to hold to rotate the second clamping rod 12. In addition, the fixing cap 126 can also serve as an additional locking mechanism to lock the second clamping rod 12 relative to the bracket 14. For example, in the case where the outer diameter of the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 141 of the bracket 14, the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12 can be provided with external threads, and the fixing cap 126 can be provided with mating internal threads, the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12 can pass through the mounting hole 141 and be threadedly engaged with the fixing cap 126. The portion of the proximal end 123 that does not pass through the mounting hole 141 of the bracket 14 can be provided with a stop (not shown) having a size larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 141, i.e., the stop is located on both sides of the mounting hole 141 of the bracket 14, respectively, from the fixing cap 126. Thus, the fixing cap 126 can be tightened so that the stop at the proximal end 123 of the second rod body 121 of the second clamping rod 12 abuts against the bracket 14 to lock the second clamping rod 12 relative to the bracket 14.

[0030] On the one hand, the bracket 14 allows the second clamping rod 12 to be pivoted relative to the first clamping rod 11 between an initial position and an open position, so as to facilitate the wrapping and unwrapping of the adhesive tape 2 on the first clamping rod 11. On the other hand, the bracket 14 also allows the second clamping rod 12 to be rotated about its own axis and locked at any position. In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, the second clamping rod 12 can be rotated so that the cutting portion 124 faces upward to facilitate the cutting of the adhesive tape 2 by the cutting portion 124. As shown in FIG. 3, when the cutting of the adhesive tape 2 is completed, the second clamping rod 12 can be rotated so that the cutting portion 124 faces sideways to prevent the cutting portion 124 from injuring the user. Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 4 ​​As shown, when the second clamping rod 12 is rotated to the position close to the outer circumferential surface of the adhesive tape 2, the end of the adhesive tape 2 can be conveniently found and the end of the adhesive tape 2 can be completely picked up for peeling by the protruding part 125 of the second clamping rod 12 through continuously rotating the adhesive tape 2 wrapped on the first clamping rod 11. In addition, the end of the adhesive tape 2 can also be pasted on the second clamping rod 12, so that the end of the adhesive tape 2 can be quickly found when the adhesive tape 2 is used next time.

[0031] As shown, Figure 5 As shown, since the first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12 of the adhesive tape dispenser 1 are hinged to form a clip-shaped structure, the adhesive tape dispenser 1 (which can be together with the adhesive tape 2 wrapped on the first clamping rod 11) can be clamped on any suitable position, such as the pocket 3 of the user's clothes, when the adhesive tape dispenser 1 is not used. In particular, in this storage state, the second clamping rod 12 can be rotated so that the cutting part 124 faces the side to prevent the cutting part 124 from cutting people.

[0032] The adhesive tape dispenser 1 according to the present application is configured as a clamping member similar to a card, so that the adhesive tape 2 can be conveniently clamped and cut, and the adhesive tape dispenser 1 can also be flexibly clamped on any suitable object for convenient carrying and storage. In addition, the adhesive tape dispenser 1 forms an open adhesive tape fixing structure through the long strip-shaped first clamping rod 11 and the second clamping rod 12, which is beneficial to adapt to adhesive tapes of various widths. The second clamping rod 12 with the cutting part 124 of the adhesive tape dispenser 1 is preferably configured to be rotatable, so that in the non-use state, the second clamping rod 12 can be rotated to a position where the cutting part 124 is not easy to hurt people to improve the safety of the adhesive tape dispenser. In addition, the end of the adhesive tape 2 can be conveniently found and the end of the adhesive tape 2 can be completely peeled off by using the protruding part 125 on the second clamping rod 1.

[0033] Here, the exemplary embodiments of the adhesive tape dispenser according to the present application have been described in detail, but it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments described and shown in detail above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. All these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the present application. Moreover, all the components described herein can be replaced by other technically equivalent components.
