Abstract

Apparatus 100 for unrolling a web of backing material located on a roll 4 and bearing in particular double-sidedly adhesive tape sections 42 includes a handle element 1 fitted on a holding plate 2, mounted rotatably on the holding plate 2, a receiving roller 21 for the roll 4 of backing material web 41, mounted rotatably on the holding plate 2, a pressure roller 22 which brings the backing material web 41 with the adhesive tape sections 42 into contact with the substrate during the dispensing operation and is guided via the receiving roller 21 for the roll 4 in such a way that the adhesive tape sections 42 are dispensed from the backing material web 41 onto the substrate during the dispensing operation, mounted rotatably on the holding plate 2, a drive roller 23, via which the backing material web 41 with the adhesive tape sections 42 is guided such that the drive roller 23 rotates synchronously with the speed of the backing material web 41, mounted rotatably on the holding plate 2, a collecting roller 25, which receives the backing material web 41 after the adhesive tape sections 42 have been dispersed and which in particular is set in rotation via a belt 24 by the movement of the drive roller 23.

Claims

1. An apparatus 100 for dispensing a double-sided adhesive section from a roll of tape 4 comprising a backing material 41 and the double-sided adhesive material 42, the apparatus comprising

a holding plate 2;

a handle 1 mounted on the holding plate 2;

a receiving roller 21 for holding the roll of tape 4 comprising the backing material 41 and the double-sided adhesive material 42, the receiving roller 21 being rotatably mounted on the holding plate 2;

a drive roller 23 rotatably mounted on the holding plate 2;

a pressure roller 22 rotatably mounted on a holding plate 2;

a collecting roller 25 rotatably mounted on the holding plate 2;

the drive roller 23 and the collecting roller 25 are speed-synchronized by a belt drive;

wherein the tape 4 including the double-sided adhesive material 42 and the backing material 41 is brought from the receiving roller 21 via the drive roller 23 to the pressure roller 22 and wherein the pressure roller 22 is positioned such that the double-sided adhesive material 42 may be brought into contact with a substrate, and upon contacting the substrate, the double-sided adhesive material 42 is separated from the backing material 41; and

wherein the backing material 41 is rolled onto the collecting roller 25.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the drive roller 23 is disposed between the receiving roller 21 and the pressure roller 22.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a guide roller 26 disposed between the receiving roller 21 and the drive roller 23.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an arm 3 extended from the holding plate 2, the arm 3 including an adjustable positioning aid 6 for position the tape 4.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the holding plate is adapted such as to accommodate mountings for right handed or left handed users.

6. The apparatus according to ding claim 1, further comprising a friction brake associated with the receiving roller 21.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the pressure roller 22 having two axial ends, one end being mounted to the holding plate 2 and the second end being mounted to a counter plate 8, the counter plate 8 and the holding plate 2 being elongated towards the handle 1, and provide guidance of the apparatus while dispensing.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the adhesive tape material comprises sections.

9. The apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the adjustable positioning aid 6 is adjustable within an elongated groove 62 formed in the arm and wherein the positioning aid 6 is formed as a rotatably mounted shaft 61.
