Abstract:
1. An adhesive tape dispenser comprising: a hollow body having proximal and distal open ends; an adhesive tape dispensing unit removable from and slidably mounted within the body to retractably extend a tape dispensing head thereof from the distal open end of said body; a detachable housing element having a longitudinal central bore open at both ends and mounted at its proximal end to a rotatable control knob and detachably mounted at its distal end to said proximal open end of said hollow body facing said adhesive tape dispensing unit, said detachable housing element remaining fixed during operation of the dispenser; said control knob having a guiding element configured with a cam shaped surface oblique to an axis of said control knob and defined along a distal outer facing edge of said guiding element; a pushing element between said control knob and said adhesive tape dispensing unit, said pushing element traversing the central bore of said housing element and having a follower engaging said cam shaped surface, whereby when said control knob is turned in one direction said follower is directed to move toward the adhesive tape dispensing unit and to cause said adhesive tape dispensing head to extend from the distal open end of the body; and a resilient element mounted in the hollow body to provide a recoil force to the adhesive tape dispensing unit.
