TAPE spoor. HOLDER Filed June 27, 1950 INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 26, 1952 UNITED STATE-S 'rNrN oi-FICE 8V Claims.
This invention relates to taping' devices and is :riore particularly concerned with means for holding a spool of tape or ribbon and for 'dispensing portions thereof vfor application to var'-l ious' articles.
One of the objects of this i'nventic'in is the provision of a device of the type mentioned which canbe firmly grasped in one hand while the tape or ribbon is unwound and severed with theother hand. u Y
Another object of the inventionv isA adevice of the character mentioned upon which a spool of tape or ribbon may be easily and quickly mounted and from which the `empty spoolA may be removed with the same lease and rapidity.
A further object of the invention is to provide such a device'which includes' mea-ns ior cutting' the tape or ribbon, said means being oii'set from the spool so that a portion of the unwoundtape, after cutting, hangsv free to facilitate its subsequent use.
A still further object isV to provide a device comprising a cylinder having a flange on one side to hold a spool of tape and a lchanneI-like arm pvotedto the vflange in such a way that the channel straddles the spool and the corners of tliesi'de opposite the flange extendsover the edge of the spool in `one pivoted position, while in 'another pivoted position these corners are retracted, whereby the roll 'of tape can bei placed on the spool andV removably' held in position between the flange and the corners of the channel on the other side, the arm carrying an extension with a knife edge parallel to the axis of the spool.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will appear more fully from the following description, considered together with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of an embodiment of this invention with a spool of tape thereon.
lFig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. l "with the spool of tape removed showing the position of the pivoted arm for removal of an empty spool and replacement of a new one.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same embodiment.
4 is a section along the line 4 5 of Fig. 5 is a section along the line 5 5 of Fig. 6 is a section along the line 6 5 of Fig. 7 is a section along the line 1 1 of Fig. 8 is a section along the line 8 8 of Fig. 9 is a section along the line 9 9 of Fig. 1. Referring with more particularity to the draw- 2` ing which` like-numerals designate like' parts, the embodiment illustrated comprises va cylinder li upon which a spool of tape or `ribbon I2 is freely mounted so that it may rotate thereon 'as theV tape or ribbon is unwound.
On one side of the cylinder a flange I3 extends radially outward, one 'of its functions being to Aact as an abutment `for one side of the spool of tape.
An arm ill is pivoted to the outer side'of the ange I3 by means of a rivet l5' or by any other sui-table means. The ar-mextendsv outward from the pivot poi-nt at a substantial distance 'from the' periphery of the roll' l2. The 'outer end l5 of the arm is bent at right angles to form a bracket for mounting the cutter vunit.
The cutter -unitv comprises a rectangular holder 'l'lf having yupper and lower. fianges 3158 and' 'le and a 'ange 2G at 'one-'end'. vBe'tvveeri said flanges a rectangular blade 22 is disposed having a cutting' edge along one side. The blade is 'shorter than the holder 4and an aperture..23 is provided through the holder `between 'the end opposite the ange 23 and the edge off the blade when the latter is in operative yposition. A simila-r aperture '-24 lis provided through the `outer end 15S of the'a'rm to register with the aperture '23; theparts `being so proportioned that when said ape'rtures 23 Iand 24' are fin registry, a portion of the `rnenf'iber ISUoverli/es a portion of the blade '22' and thereby holds it in position.
A bolt 25 passes through the apertures 23 and 24 and is removably held in position by means of a nut 26.
A portion of the holder l1 is provided with a recess 21 to expose the cutting edge of the blade 22.
On the opposite side of its pivot, the arm I4 extends across the cylinder Il and is provided with an oiset portion 28 parallel to the main portion of the arm, but positioned on the opposite side of the cylinder. The offset portion is connected to the main body of the arm by means of a web 29. The arm at this point, together with the offset portion 28 and web 29 form a hand grip.
The web 29 is somewhat shorter than the inside diameter of the cylinder Il to permit the arm to be pivoted through a small angle.` The oiset portion 28 is so proportioned that the corners 30 and 3l thereof opposite the web 29 rides over the edge of the cylinder Il and extends a short distance beyond it (see Fig. 1), when the web is forced against the inside surface of the cylinder in one of the extreme pivoted positions of the arm Ill, while in the opposite extreme position (see Fig. 2) the corners 30 and 3| are retracted. In the one extreme position, the spool of tape ls held between the flange I3 and the corners 3U and 3|. In the other extreme position, the spool is free of contact with the corners 3B and 3l. Accordingly, in the latter position, an empty spool may be readily removed and replaced by a new one, after which the arm with its offset portion 28 is returned to the holding position of Fig. 1.
By these means it may be seen that this invention oiers many advantages. The tape spools are easily and quickly replaced and there is no need to remove or disassemble any parts. Also only a very few parts are needed, but at the same time positive operation is assured. The device also provides a simple and inexpensive means for changing the cutting blade with a minimum of effort and materials.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A tape holder comprising a cylinder adapted to carry a spool of tape, said cylinder having a hollow portion extending from one side to the other, means on one side of said cylinder to abut one side of the spool when positioned on the cylinder, an arm pivotally supported on the same side of said cylinder as said means retractable means carried by said arm and extending through the hollow portion of the cylinder for abutting the other side of said spool and means for cutting unrolled portions, of tape.
2. A tape holder comprising a cylinder adapted to rotatably support a spool of tape, said cylinder having a hollow portion extending from one side to the other, means fixed to one side of said cylinder to abut one side of the spool when positioned on the cylinder, an arm pivotally supported on the same side of said cylinder as said means, retractable means carried by said arm and extending through the hollow portion of the cylinder for abutting the other side of said spool and means carried by said arm for cutting unrolled portions of tape.

8. A tape holder comprising a cylinder adapted to rotatably support a spool of tape, said cylinder having a hollow portion extending from one side to the other, an outwardly extending flange on one side of the cylinder to abut one side of a spool of tape positioned on the cylinder. an arm on the same side of the cylinder pivoted to the flange, a movable abutment for the opposite side of the spool, said abutment being carried by said arm and extending through the hollow portion, a hand grip carried by said arm, a blade holder carried by said arm offset from the cylinder, a blade carried by said blade holder and means for removably securing said blade on said holder and said holder on said arm.
