Description

C. J. SEMAN July 19, 1966 ill INVENTOR.
GOLNIAN J. SEMAN United States Patent 3,261,251 TAPING GUN Colman J. Seman, 1409 Spring Lake Drive, Erie, Pa. Filed Feb. 15, 1965, Ser. No. 432,758 6 Claims. (Cl. 83-649) This invention relates to dispensing means and, more particularly, to a dispenser for tape or the like.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved tape dispenser.
Another object of the invention is to provide a dispenser for coiled material.
A further object of the invention is to provide a dispenser which is simple in construction, economical to manufacture, and simple and efficient to use.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists of the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, size, proportions, and minor details of construction without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a side view of a dispenser according to the invention having the cover plate removed for better clarity;
FIG. 2 is a side view similar to FIG. 1 of the dispenser with certain parts broken away and showing the cover plate in place; and
FIG. 3 is a front end view of the dispenser with the cover plate in place.
Now with more particular reference to the drawing, the dispenser which may also be referred to as a taping gun is referred to generally by numeral 10. -The dispenser has three majors parts, (1) the main frame 11, (2) the cover plate 38, which is swingably supported on the frame, and (3) the handle slide 28.
The main frame 11 is generally in the form of a plate having front cover support block 15 fixed thereto and indicated as integral therewith. A similar block 16' is provided in spaced relation to the front cover support block which provides a slot therebetween to receive the cover clamp block 43 which is fixed to the cover plate 38 and which will be more fully described hereinafter.
The upper part of the main frame has spaced guide rails 46 and 47 which provide a slot 48 in which the handle 'slide 28 reciprocates. The handle slide 28 has the slide cut-off adapter 29 clamped to it by clamp screw 30. These members, namely, the slide cut-off adapter 29 and the clamp screw 30, clamp the knife 31 therebetween. The knife 31 is generally in the form of a sharpened blade of high quality steel having a very sharp edge.
The stop pin 37 is fixed to the handle slide 28 and it limits the movement of the handle slide 28 in the main frame 11 as it is urged to the left by the spring 35, which is a tension spring fixed to the handle slide 28 by pin 36 and to the main frame 11 by pin 49.
The handle 27 is integrally fixed to the handle slide 28 and it extends downwardly generally parallel to the rear edge of the main frame. The loop plunger 32 is supported on the handle 27 by means of the screw 34, thus providing a lost motion device which controls the length of the loop 26 in the tape. The screw 34 may be tightened to lock the loop plunger 32 in position on the handle so that the loop could be controlled in length.
The tape roll 24 is supported on a boss which is in the form of a circular tape holder indicated at 13. The plunger guide blocks 12 are fixed to the main frame 11 and provide a space therebetween for the loop plunger 32 to reciprocate.
Patented July 19, 1966 Roller 19 and spaced rollers 20 and 21 are fixed to the frame and they provide a guide means for the tape. A loop 26 is provided when the loop plunger 32 moves in and engages the tape at bight 26'. The rollers 22 and 23 guide the tape to the slot below the front cover support block 15 and the tape portion 25 extends out past the edge of the knife.
The cover plate 38 is in the form of a plate which overlies the front cover support block 15, a plunger guide blocks 12, boss 13, and block 16. The cover plate 38 is swingably supported on pivot pin 17 and is held thereon by means of the nut 50. The upper edge of the cover plate 38 is guided by the cover plate adapter 39 which is in the form of a small plate fastened to the lower guide rail 46 by screws 40. A return spring 44 in the form of a leaf spring is fixed to the guide rail 46 by a screw 45. Spring 44 urges the cover plate away from guide rail 46 in a clockwise rotation. Thus, it will be seen that the cover plate 38 is held in a plane parallel to the plane in which the main frame 11 lies and cover plate 38 can swing on its pivot pin 17. The handle 41, which is in the form of a finger grip member, is fixed to the cover plate 38 by means of screws 42.
Thus, during operation, a roll of tape will be put in the position indicated for the tape roll 24 and the end of it will be pulled up between roller 19 and spaced roller 20 through high-t portion 26, over spaced roller 21 and roller 22, under roller 23, between the front cover support block 15 and the cover clamp block 43, and on out past the end of the knife 31. The operator will then grasp the handle 41 with the tips of his fingers and lay his thumb around handle 27. He will then squeeze the handle 27 toward the handle 41 which will move the handle 27 to the dotted line position 51. This will cause a torsional force on the cover plate 38 exerted on the handle 41 which will cause it to swing around its pivot pin 17 in a counterclockwise direction. Thus, the cover clamp block 43 will move in the tape clamp opening 16 and clamp the tape between the front cover support block 15 and the cover clamp block 43.
At the same time, the upper edge of the cover plate 38 will compress the return spring 44 against the frame shoulder 18. Simultaneously, the handle 27 will have moved to the dotted line position 51 and the loop plunger 32 will have engaged the bight portion 26 of the tape and moved it into the form of the loop 26. The tape which was required to form the loop will have been unrolled from the tape roll 24.
When the operator releases the force on the handle, the spring 35 will return the handle to the full line position and the return spring 44 will move the cover plate clockwise slightly about the pivot pin 17, thereby releasing the tape at the cover clamp block 43. The operator may then stick the end of the tape to the place where it is to be attached, pull on the handle, and pull out the loop 26. This will provide a length of tape between the knife edge and the place where it is attached as aforesaid of a predetermined length. The tape can then be cut off by the knife 31 and the handle again moved to the dotted line position 51 which will rotate the cover plate counterclockwise, thereby clamping the tape at cover clamp block 43. Another loop 26 will be formed from the roll of tape and the cutting and taping operation can then be repeated.
The foregoing specification sets forth the invention in its preferred practical forms but the structure shown is capable of modification within a range of equivalents without departing from the invention which is to be understood is broadly novel as is commensurate with the appended claims.
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
