Tape dispenser with adjustable gap and tool-free coupling, designed for different roll widths and enabling precise masking of surfaces

Abstract

Adhesive tape dispenser, comprising o at least two components (1) and (2), o wherein component (1) is designed to receive and guide an adhesive tape (4) and ◯ Component (2) is connected to component (1) in a tool-free coupling, characterized in that ◯ an adapter (3) is provided which can be inserted or removed between the components (1) and (2) in order to create an adjustable gap for the adhesive tape (4) and thus enable the use of different roll widths.

Description

The present adhesive tape dispenser has been developed to reliably and efficiently accommodate adhesive tapes of the most varied widths (4) and to ensure precise adhesive bonding of surfaces such as base strips, door frames or transitions. The construction consists of two main components (1) and (2) which are connected to one another via a tool-free coupling. In addition, an adapter ( 3) enables the flexible adaptation of the gap dimension, which in turn supports a clean and uncomplicated application of the adhesive tape ( 4). 1. component (1):◯ This component forms the first base element. It carries a part of the housing in which the adhesive tape ( 4) is guided.The mold is designed to allow for convenient handling for both right and left hand changes.◯2. Component (2):◯ The second base element supplements component (1) and ensures that the adhesive tape (4) is reliably held at 0rt and in place.This component too is ergonomically designed and supports the exact adhesive bonding of parallel edges, corners and inner and outer corners.◯3. Adapter (3):◯ Through the adapter, the gap between component (1) and component (2) is adjusted. As a result, the position of the adhesive tape ( 4) can be variably defined in order to take account of different roll widths.The construction permits the adapter ( 3) to be installed and removed without additional tools, which ensures rapid adaptation to changing requirements.◯4. Adhesive tape (4): is the actual consumable material which is guided between the two components (1) and (2).The web width of the adhesive tape (4) can vary as required, since the adapter (3) provides the necessary flexibility in construction.List of reference numbers:• (1) First component (base element 1) Description: base element for receiving or guiding the adhesive tape.• (2) Second component (base element 2) Description: Supplementary component which together with component (1) forms the roller.• (3) Adapter description: element for adjusting the gap dimension between component (1) and (2) in order to be able to take account of different roll widths.• (4) Adhesive tape Description: Consumable material which is guided between component (1) and (2).

Claims

An adhesive tape dispenser, comprising o at least two components (1) and (2), o wherein component (1) is designed to receive and guide an adhesive tape (4) and ◯ component (2) is connected to component (1) in a tool-less coupling, characterized in that ◯ an adapter (3) is provided, which can be inserted or removed between the components (1) and (2) in order to create an adjustable gap dimension for the adhesive tape (4) and thus to enable the use of different roll widths.Adhesive tape dispenser according to Claim 1, characterized in that the tool-free coupling of the component (1) and the component (2) takes place in a form-fit or force-fit manner, with the result that the components (1) and (2) can be released with little exertion of force and nevertheless ensure stable cohesion during the rolling-off process.Adhesive tape dispenser according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one of the components (1) or (2) has a pressing edge, with which the adhesive tape (4) is pressed on a medium to be bonded during the unrolling, in order to support precise bonding, in particular on parallel edges and inner and outer corners.Adhesive tape dispenser according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the adapter (3) allows a variation of the gap dimension between component (1) and (2) by being able to be inserted or replaced as desired, so that adhesive tapes (4) of different widths can be guided reliably.Adhesive tape dispenser according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the structural form of component (1) and component (2) is symmetrical, so that the dispenser can be used equally from right hand and left hand rears without any adverse effect on function.The adhesive tape dispenser according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the adhesive tape (4) does not have a cutting device on component (1) or component (2), whereby the risk of injury is minimized and the construction is simplified.Adhesive tape dispenser according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the component (1) and the component (2) are each produced from a dimensionally stable plastic or light metal in order to ensure high strength with simultaneously low weight.Adhesive tape dispenser according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the adapter (3) is replaceable and provided in different variants in order to set different distances between component (1) and component (2) and thus to take account of varying roll widths of the adhesive tape (4).Adhesive tape dispenser according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the component (1) and the component (2) are provided at their coupling points with latching, plug-in or clamping devices in order to enable a secure, quickly releasable connection without a tool.Adhesive tape dispenser according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that component (1) and component (2) are designed in such a way that the adhesive tape (4) moves along a guide with low friction during the unrolling, and as a result smooth adhesive bonding of surfaces, such as base strips, door frames, transitions or parallel edges, is ensured.
