Abstract:
1. A adhesive tape dispenser adapted to dispense adhesive tape stored on a spool and and having a backing substrate, said adhesive tape dispenser comprising: a frame including a cavity in which said spool of adhesive tape is rotatably mounted therein, and a handgrip extending downwards from said frame and including a removable end cap; an application guide attached at a distal end of said frame; a pair of rollers mounted at said distal end of said frame, said adhesive tape disposed between said pair of rollers when extracted from said dispenser; a spool fastener removably fastened to accommodate replacement of said spool of adhesive tape; a collection chamber formed within said frame and adapted to store said backing substrate as said backing substrate is removed from said adhesive tape and wound into a coil; a removable closure closing said collection chamber to prevent said coil from exiting said collection chamber; a driver gear, a planetary gear, and a take-up gear aligned to rotate within said collection chamber, said gears interconnected with each other to rotate; an electrical motor mechanically coupled to said driver gear; a power source secured within said handgrip by said end cap; and an electrical switch disposed within said handgrip and protruding out from a switch opening formed within said handgrip so that users may operate said electrical switch with a finger when holding said handgrip in one hand, said electrical switch selectively operated to electrically couple said power source to said motor to rotate said driver gear so that said take-up gear winds said backing substrate within said collection chamber to form said coil.
