Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a cellophane tape holder, and more particularly to a cellophane tape holder with a storage structure. [Background technology]
[0002] Cellophane tape dispensers are stationery items that are commonly used in various situations in everyday life. A typical cellophane tape holder has a very stable base and a rotating shaft for loading the tape. The tape loading rotary shaft is rotatably mounted on the base. The base has a cutter at one end for cutting cellophane tape. Although the above-described structure provides the function of a cellophane tape holder, the cutter of the cellophane tape holder is exposed to the outside, which poses safety concerns during use.
[0003] On the other hand, if a protective cap is placed over the cutter of the cellophane tape holder, the safety problem during use can be solved. However, when using the cellophane tape dispenser, the protective cap is often removed from the cutter and accidentally lost, so there is room for improvement in the above system. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] The main object of the present invention is to provide a cellophane tape holder with a protective cap storage structure that prevents the loss of protective caps by providing a protective cap storage area. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned problems, a cellophane tape dispenser with a storage structure comprises a base and a protective cap. The base has a bottom surface, a housing that covers the bottom surface, a storage groove recessed into the housing, and a rotary shaft rotatably mounted in the storage groove. The base has a cutting portion at one end. The cutting portion has a cutter. The protective cap is mounted by covering the cutter of the cutting portion of the base. The base further has a storage portion recessed into the bottom surface. The storage portion has a storage groove and an operation groove. The operation groove is connected to one side of the storage groove. The user can remove the protective cap from the storage groove by inserting a finger into the operation groove. The protective cap fits into the storage groove without protruding from the bottom of the base.
[0006] In particular, this device provides a storage compartment in the remaining space at the bottom of the base to secure and store the protective caps, so that the operation and placement of the cellophane tape holder are not affected even when the protective caps are stored. In addition, the storage compartment for the protective caps is fixed, preventing them from being accidentally lost. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] A cellophane tape holder having a storage structure according to the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. In the specification and drawings, nouns indicating directionality are expressed based on the direction in the drawings. The same reference numerals indicate structural features of the same or similar parts.
[0009] (One embodiment) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, a cellophane tape holder with a storage structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base 10 and a protective cap 20.
[0010] The base 10 has a bottom surface 11 for stabilizing the cellophane tape stand on a flat surface, a housing 12 that covers the bottom surface 11, a storage groove 13 formed as a recess in the housing 12, and a rotation shaft 14 rotatably mounted in the storage groove 13. The cellophane tape (not shown in the figure) is attached to the rotating shaft 14 . The base 10 has a cutout 15 at one end. The cutting unit 15 has a cutter 16 .
[0011] The protective cap 20 is attached to cover the cutter 16 of the cutting portion 15 of the base 10 so as not to expose the cutter 16 to the outside.
[0012] The features of this invention are as follows:
[0013] The base 10 further has a storage section 30 formed as a recess in the bottom surface 11 . The storage section 30 has a storage groove 31 and an operation groove 32 . The receiving groove 31 has at least one axial length greater than the operating groove 32 and corresponds in shape and size to the protective cap 20 . In this embodiment, the protective cap 20 is elongated and has a protruding ear 21 formed on one side, which is convenient for use. The protective cap 20 further has two bayonet pins 22 formed to protrude toward one side. In this embodiment, the receiving groove 31 is an elongated groove corresponding to the shape and size of the protective cap 20, and one side is arc-shaped corresponding to the ear 21 of the protective cap 20, but is not limited to this and types of different shapes or sizes may be used according to actual needs. The operation groove 32 is connected to one side of the storage groove 31 . The user can remove the protective cap 20 from the storage groove 31 by inserting his / her finger into the operation groove 32.
[0014] In detail, in the present invention, the protective cap 20 is normally attached to cover the cutter 16 of the cellophane tape holder, so that the cutter 16 can be prevented from being exposed to the outside and causing injury. When using the cellophane tape holder, the protective cap 20 is removed and inserted into the storage groove 31 of the storage section 30 from the bottom surface 11 of the base 10. Since the storage groove 31 is recessed inward, the protective cap 20 fitted into the storage groove 31 does not protrude beyond the bottom surface 11 of the base 10, and the flatness and functionality of the bottom surface 11 of the base 10 can be maintained.
[0015] After the protective cap 20 is retracted, the cellophane tape holder of the present invention is no different from a regular cellophane tape holder and can be placed and used in the same way. After using the cellophane tape holder, the protective cap 20 can be removed from the storage groove 31 and placed over the cutter 16. Due to the above-mentioned features, the cellophane tape mount and the protective cap 20 can continuously perform their respective functions without interfering with each other.
[0016] In this invention, to ensure the stability of the protective cap 20 when it covers the cutter 16 and is inserted into the receiving groove 31, the protective cap 20 has two insert pins 22 protruding from one side, while the receiving groove 31 has an opening 33 inside. The two bayonet pins 22 are inserted into the apertures 33 . At the same time, the cutout 15 of the base 10 has two recesses 17 corresponding to the two bayonet pins 22 . The protective cap 20 covers the cutout portion 15 and fits into the two recessed grooves 17 . In this embodiment, the protective cap 20 and the receiving groove 31 are fixed by the insert pin 22, but this is not limiting and a fitting or engagement method may also be used.
