Abstract
This invention provides a novel and unique hand-held tape wrapping apparatus that is comprised generally of a support frame with a rotating plate mounted to the frame. Means of mounting a roll of tape or spool of similar material to the rotating plate is provided with a constant tension control applied directly to the tape that decreases the tension applied to the tape roll as the tape is unwound. The rotating plate is driven at variable speeds by a trigger controlled air motor that allows the operator to control the speed and easily handle the apparatus as he applies the tape.
