Abstract

An improved adhesive tape dispenser is provided with a holding piece capable of being acted on by a spring to hold the adhesive tape securely to the surface of a rolling wheel so as to permit a user of the dispenser to locate easily the end of the adhesive tape. The dispenser is further provided with a pressing member capable of causing the holding piece to move away from the rolling wheel to release the adhesive tape at such time when the pressing member is pressed with a finger.

Claims

1. An adhesive tape dispenser comprising a housing provided with a reel on which an adhesive tape roll is wound, said housing being further provided at a front end thereof with a rolling wheel mounted on pivot and with a cutter for cutting said adhesive tape;

wherein said housing is further provided therein with a movable member fastened to said housing at one end thereof by a pin such that said movable member can rotate on said pin, said movable member having another end that is provided with a holding piece, a spring pressing said holding piece against said rolling wheel, said housing being still further provided with a pressing member having a top end extending upwards beyond a top surface of said housing and a bottom end engaged to said movable member, wherein normally said holding piece causes said spring to hold said adhesive tape securely against said rolling wheel, wherein when pressing said top end of said pressing member said holding piece rotates downwards moving said holding piece away from said rolling wheel to release said adhesive tape.

2. The adhesive tape dispenser of claim 1 wherein said movable member is provided centrally with a cross bar in contact with said bottom end of said pressing member.
