Adhesive Tape Binding Platform with Fixing Member
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional desktop adhesive tape binding and cutting platforms are inconvenient due to the adhesive tape's free end moving freely, leading to inefficient binding operations and a risk of the tape sticking to the user's fingers, and are inflexible in accommodating different-shaped and sized articles.
Innovation Solution
A desktop adhesive tape binding and cutting platform with a tape dispensing portion featuring a rotating shaft for the adhesive tape roll, a binding platform with connecting portions, and a cutting portion with a fixing member to secure the tape after cutting, allowing for efficient binding and preventing the tape from sticking backwards, while also being adaptable to various article sizes through modular design elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the adhesive face of the adhesive tape faces upward for binding operation, then the binding operation can be performed, but the free end of the adhesive tape moves freely and is likely to stick to the user's fingers, reducing operational efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blade assembly that serves as an intermediary component. The blade not only performs the cutting function but also provides a surface for the free end of the adhesive tape to adhere to after cutting. This mediator prevents the tape from sticking to the user's fingers and maintains operational efficiency by providing a designated placement area for the tape end.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the problematic function of the blade - instead of the blade merely being a cutting tool, its surface is utilized to hold the free end of the adhesive tape. By taking out this holding function and assigning it to the blade surface, the design eliminates the issue of tape sticking to fingers while maintaining the cutting capability.
2Device complexity
If the conventional desktop adhesive tape binding and cutting bench is fixed in shape and size, then the structure is simple, but it is inapplicable to different-shaped and different-sized articles to be bound
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the binding platform adjustable in size. The platform can be extended or reduced according to the size of the articles to be bound. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the same device to handle various sized articles efficiently, transforming a static fixed-structure design into a flexible adaptive system.
3Ease of operation
If the adhesive tape is not fixed after cutting, then the cutting operation is simple, but the adhesive tape is likely to move freely and be stuck backwards during binding operation
Solution Approach 1:
The blade assembly acts as an intermediary that provides a surface for the cut adhesive tape to adhere to. After cutting, the free end of the tape naturally sticks to the blade surface, preventing it from moving freely or sticking backwards during subsequent binding operations. This intermediary surface solves the reliability issue without complicating the cutting operation.

AI summary
A desktop adhesive tape binding and cutting platform includes a fundamental base provided with a connecting plate. The fundamental base is pivotally provided with a rotating shaft for installing an adhesive tape roll thereon. A binding platform is connected with the free end of the connecting plate, and a cutting portion is connected with the binding platform and has its free end provided with a cutting member and a fixing member. Thus, during binding operation, the desktop adhesive tape binding and cutting platform of this invention is able to cut off adhesive tape via the cutting member and meanwhile fix the adhesive tape in place via the fixing member.
