Abstract
A tape dispenser comprises a body having a dispensing end for dispensing a tape and a size capable of being gripped by a hand of a user. A holding member is disposed in the main body and supports a roll of the tape to permit the roll of tape to undergo displacement in a first direction. A pressing member having a pressing portion at the dispensing end of the main body receives the tape from the roll of tape and presses the tape against a surface for adhering the tape to the surface. A clamping unit applies a clamping force to the tape to releasably clamp the tape at the dispensing end of the main body. A cutting unit is pivotally connected to the holding member and has a blade portion for cutting the tape at the dispensing end of the main body. The blade portion is displaceable between a first position toward the dispensing end of the main body and a second position away from the dispensing end of the main body. Displacement of the blade portion from the first position toward the second position displaces the roll of tape in the first direction to slacken a portion of the tape between the roll of tape and the dispensing end of the main body.
