The tape reel and adhesive plate are spaced apart and both connected to the cutter box, while the blade is connected to the adhesive plate. In use, the tape roll is mounted on the tape reel. When using the tape for the first time, pull the tape out until it passes over the blade, then lower the tape until it contacts the blade and is cut. The cut tape is used, while the remaining tape falls due to its own weight and adheres to the adhesive plate. For subsequent use, hold the tape roll before it touches the adhesive plate, first moving it upwards to detach the tape from the adhesive plate, then stretch the tape and cut it as described above.

[0004] The disadvantages of existing tape cutters are: the top of the cutter box is open, the tape is taken out upwards, and the blade edge is also facing upwards; the distance between the blade and the right end of the cutter box is also very close, and it is easy to hit the blade edge from the top and right of the tape cutter.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the tape cutter includes a cutter unit, which includes a cutter box 1, a tape shaft 5, an adhesive plate 2, an end baffle 4, and a blade 3. The cutter box 1 includes a box bottom plate 11 and an upper baffle 12. The box bottom plate 11 is vertically arranged, and the upper baffle 12 is horizontally arranged in front of the upper end of the box bottom plate 11 and connected to the box bottom plate 11. The tape shaft 5 and the adhesive plate 2 are both located in front of the box bottom plate 11 and below the upper baffle 12. The tape shaft 5 and the adhesive plate 2 are both perpendicular to the box bottom plate 11 and connected. The tape shaft 5 is close to the left end of the box bottom plate 11, and the adhesive plate 2 is close to the right end of the box bottom plate 11. The upper surface of the adhesive plate 2 is the adhesive surface 21. The blade 3 is arranged along the length of the adhesive plate 2 and connected to the right end of the adhesive plate 2. The upper end of the blade 3 is higher than the adhesive surface 21. The end baffle 4 is connected to the front end of the adhesive plate 2 and covers the blade 3. There is a distance between the blade 3 and the right end of the box bottom plate 11 and the end baffle 4.

[0024] The blade 3 of this utility model is protected by an upper baffle 12 above it, and by a box bottom plate 11 and an end baffle 4 in the front and rear directions, respectively. The left side of the blade 3 is protected by a tape shaft 5 and a tape roll 7 sleeved on the tape shaft 5. There is a distance between the blade 3 and the right end of the box bottom plate 11 and the end baffle 4. In this way, it is not easy to touch the cutting edge of the blade 3 from above, left and right, and front and rear. Therefore, this utility model has the beneficial effect of making it safer to use.

[0025] In use, the tape roll 7 is fitted onto the tape shaft 5. The tape is taken from the front of the cutter box 1, then pulled to the right, passing the blade 3. The tape is then lowered, and the blade 3 cuts it. The cut tape is used, while the remaining tape sinks to the adhesive plate 2 due to gravity. When pulling the tape to the right past the blade 3, the hand holding the tape can pass between the upper baffle 12 and the end baffle 4. Alternatively, the hand holding the tape can be pulled slightly to the side, passing through the front of the cutter box 1; then the tape passes between the upper baffle 12 and the end baffle 4, moving above the blade 3.

[0026] When using the tape cutter, it can be placed on a table with its front end facing the user. It can also be fixed to a treatment cart, still with the front end facing the user. The tape shaft 5 is located near the left end of the box bottom plate 11, and the adhesive plate 2 is located near the right end of the box bottom plate 11. This arrangement is because users usually use their right hand to pick up the tape, and it is more convenient to pull the tape from left to right.

[0027] The tape spool 5 is used to mount the tape roll 7. The tape spool 5 has the following structure: it includes a spool body 51 and an end cap 52. The rear end of the spool body 51 is connected to the bottom plate 11 of the box, and the end cap 52 is threadedly connected to the front end of the spool body 51. The outer diameter of the end cap 52 is larger than the outer diameter of the spool body 51. After removing the end cap 52, the tape roll 7 can be mounted on the spool body 51. Then, the end cap 52 is threadedly connected to the spool body 51, preventing the tape roll 7 from falling off.

[0028] The cutter box 1 can be further configured as follows: the cutter box 1 includes a side baffle 13 and a lower baffle 14. The side baffle 13 is located in front of the left end of the box bottom plate 11 and is connected to the box bottom plate 11. The lower baffle 14 is located in front of the lower end of the box bottom plate 11 and is connected to the box bottom plate 11. Preferably, the end baffle 4 extends downward to the lower baffle 14 and is connected to the lower baffle 14.

[0029] Regarding design parameters: To ensure good protective effect, it is preferable that the upper end of the end baffle 4 is at least 1 cm higher than the upper end of the blade 3, and the distance between the right end of the end baffle 4 and the bottom plate 11 and the blade 3 is at least 1 cm. The distance between the upper end of the end baffle 4 and the upper baffle 12 is preferably sufficient, preferably allowing at least two fingers to easily pass through, so that the tape can be pulled out from between the upper end of the end baffle 4 and the upper baffle 12.

[0030] To protect the tape inside the tape cutter from contamination when it is not in use, the cutter unit preferably includes a cover plate 6. The cover plate 6 is connected to the cutter box 1 and can cover the front and right ends of the cutter box 1. The cover plate 6 can be fitted over the upper baffle 12, the side baffle 13, and the lower baffle 14 to achieve connection with the cutter box 1.

[0031] As described in the background art, medical tape is used in large quantities. In order to install more tape rolls, the tape cutter may include at least two cutter units, each cutter unit is stacked vertically, and the cutter boxes 1 of each cutter unit are connected.
