Dual use tape dispenser
First Claim
1. A dual use tape dispenser device for extracting and cutting adhesive backed tape from at least one tape reel, comprising two configurations, whereby said tape is extracted and applied to a surface from said tape reel with portable motion of said tape dispenser being hand-held, and said tape is extracted from said tape reel wherein said tape dispenser is resting stationary on a desk-top or a work-surface, comprising:
- (a) a base frame, having a bottom plate orthogonally connected rigidly to a right side panel;
(b) a pressure bar rigidly or rotatably connected orthogonally to said right side panel, disposed to provide a gap between said pressure bar and the leading edge of said bottom plate, whereby said tape is extracted from said tape dispenser through said gap, thereby configuring said tape dispenser for said hand-held use thereof;
(c) a crossbar rigidly connected orthogonally to said right side panel, whereby said tape is extracted over said crossbar, thereby configuring said tape dispenser as said stationary desk-top device;
(d) an axle pin rigidly connected orthogonally to said right side panel of said base frame;
(e) a left side arm rigidly connected orthogonally to said crossbar and said axle pin, said pressure bar rigidly or rotatably connected to said left side arm;
(f) a blade handle assembly provided with at least one blade handle arm, having an axle pin hole disposed at the end of said blade handle arm, said blade handle pivotally attached to said axle pin, whereby said blade handle rests on the top of said cross bar in a closed position and pivots upwardly to provide a means for feeding said tape over said crossbar;
(g) a cutting blade disposed in said blade handle assembly, whereby providing a means for cutting said tape from said tape reel;
(h) a means for holding at least one said tape reel on said base frame assembly.

Abstract
A dual use tape dispenser consisting of a base frame assembly and a cutting blade assembly pivotally connected to the base frame assembly. Integral with the base frame assembly is an array of pins positioned for holding different size reels of tape. Tape from reels of packaging tape is threaded in one and/or two ways so the tape dispenser can be used as a hand-held and/or a desk-top tape dispenser.

10. A tape dispenser device for dispensing adhesive backed tape from at least one tape reel, comprising:
-
(a) a base frame assembly, providing a means for feeding said tape in a hand-held and/or a desk-top configuration, having a bottom plate orthogonally connected to a right side panel; (b) a pressure bar rigidly or rotatably connected orthogonally to said right side panel, positioned to provide a gap between said pressure bar and the leading edge of said bottom plate, whereby said tape is fed through said gap in said hand-held configuration; (c) a crossbar rigidly connected orthogonally to said right side panel, whereby said tape is fed over said crossbar in said desk-top configuration; (d) an axle pin rigidly connected orthogonally to said right side panel; (e) a left side arm rigidly connected orthogonally to said crossbar and said axle pin, and said pressure bar connected rigidly or rotatably to said left side arm; (f) a blade handle assembly having a cutting blade disposed therein, at least one blade handle arm having an axle pin hole disposed at the end of said blade handle arm, said blade handle pivotally attached to said axle pin, whereby said blade handle pivots upwardly on said axle pin, providing a means for feeding said tape over said crossbar, wherein said blade handle assembly rests closed on said crossbar in position for cutting said tape in both said hand-held and said desk-top configurations; (g) a means for supporting at least one said tape reel on said tape dispenser device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
