A new and improved adhesive tape dispenser is adapted to dispense tape wound upon a tape core and includes a frame, an application roller, a cutter assembly, and handle mounted on the frame. The adhesive tape dispenser includes a core support assembly secured to the frame and having a first axis. The core support assembly comprises a shaft secured to the frame, and an axle assembly disposed about at least a portion of the shaft. A spindle adapted to support the tape core is rotatably mounted on the axle assembly. The axle assembly includes a hub having an outer surface with a second axis adjacent the first axis, at least one flange extending radially from the hub, and a cam rotatably mounted on the hub. The spindle freely rotates in a first direction. Wherein rotation of the spindle in a second direction rotates the cam about the second axis in the second direction whereby the cam engages the spindle preventing further rotation of the spindle in the second direction about the axle assembly.

A bath mat comprises a base member made from a first elastomeric material and at least one contrast member differing from the base member but manufactured to be integral with the base member through an over-molding or co-molding process. The contrast member differs in color and/or hardness or feel from the base member providing improved aesthetics and functionality.

An ergonomic dispenser of a roll of adhesive film facilitates application of that film to a surface with minimum manipulation by the user. The dispenser has a low profile where the cutting blade, axis of rotation of the adhesive film roll and dispenser handle lie in closely aligned planes. This creates a low profile dispenser which places the roll of adhesive film in close proximity to the application surface. A flexible shield overlies the cutting blade to prevent unwanted user contact with the blade. Various means are used to manage the loose end of film after it is cut off the roll so that it does not adhere to the roll or double over on itself. Unidirectional movement of the roll is also used to manage the loose end of tape after cutoff. Optionally, blade means may be added to the dispenser's handle for use in opening cartons, cutting string or the like.
