Correction tape applicator tip with cylindrical projection
First Claim
1. An applicator tip system adapted to direct a transfer tape in a transfer tape dispenser, the system comprising:
- an applicator tip including a platform with a front edge, a rear edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a supply side surface and a return side surface, wherein the supply side surface, return side surface, and front edge are adapted to support a transfer tape, a first wall adjacent the first side edge of the platform, a second wall adjacent the second side edge of the platform;
at least one tape-contacting protuberance extending upwardly from the supply side surface of the applicator tip, wherein the protuberance is disposed adjacent the rear edge and is adapted to maintain outer edges of the transfer tape adjacent to the supply side surface of the platform; and
a length of tape extending over the supply side, contacting the tape-contacting protuberance, and extending around the front edge.

Abstract
A transfer tape dispenser comprises a housing and a supply spool and a take up spool disposed within the housing. A carrier ribbon has a first end and a second end, with the first end connected to the supply spool, and the second end connected to the take-up spool. An applicator tip is partially disposed within the housing and includes a platform with a front edge, a rear edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a top surface, a bottom surface. A first wall is adjacent to the first side edge and a second wall is adjacent to the second side edge. At least one protuberance extends from the applicator tip and is adapted to maintain outer edges of the transfer tape adjacent to the top surface of the platform.

11. A transfer tape dispenser, comprising:
-
a housing; a supply spool rotatably disposed within the housing; a take-up spool rotatably disposed within the housing; a transfer tape with a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected to the supply spool, and the second end is connected to the take-up spool; an applicator tip partially disposed within the housing, the applicator tip including; a platform with a front edge, a rear edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a supply side surface, a return side surface, wherein the transfer tape extends from the supply spool, across the supply side surface, around the front edge, and to the take-up spool; a first sidewall adjacent the first side edge; and a second sidewall adjacent the second side edge; at least one protuberance extending upwardly from the supply side surface of the applicator tip, wherein the protuberance is disposed adjacent the rear edge and contacts the underside of the transfer tape;
wherein the protuberance is adapted to maintain the transfer tape in a convex configuration. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An applicator tip system adapted to guide correction tape within a correction tape dispenser, comprising:
-
an applicator tip including a platform with a front edge, a rear edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a supply side surface and a return side surface and defining a length axis, wherein the supply side surface, return side surface, and front edge are adapted to support a carrier ribbon, a first wall adjacent the first side edge of the platform, a second wall adjacent the second side edge of the platform; and tape-contacting means on the supply side surface adjacent the rear edge for preventing a length of the correction tape disposed over the platform from folding lengthwise up and about itself; wherein the means for preventing the tape from folding forces a center portion of the correction tape further from the supply side surface of the platform than the edges. - View Dependent Claims (20)

21. A device for transferring a correction layer from a transfer tape onto a substrate, the device
a housing; -
an applicator tip disposed in the housing, the tip including a platform with a front edge, a rear edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a supply side surface and a return side surface, wherein the supply side surface, return side surface, and front edge are adapted to support a transfer tape, a first wall adjacent the first side edge of the platform, a second wall adjacent the second side edge of the platform; at least one tape-contacting protuberance upstanding from the supply side surface of the applicator tip, wherein the protuberance is adapted to force the transfer tape into a convex configuration to protect against the transfer tape folding over itself along its length; and the transfer tape disposed in the housing, extending over the supply side surface, contacting the tape-contacting protuberance, and extending around the front edge. - View Dependent Claims (22)
