Abstract
A hand held tape dispenser and applicator having a light weight plastics material housing with a hollow hub at one end mounting an exposed roll of pressure sensitive adhesive tape and a hand grasped hollow finger extending from the hub to a dispensing outlet where a feed roll receives the adhesive foil of the tape and directs the opposite face to a press roll for applying the tape to a surface. A thumb operated slidable trigger on the top of the finger selectively rocks a cutter head over the press roll to sever the dispensed tape. The housing is longitudinally split with the two mating components snap fitted together and easily pulled apart to insert the tape roll and thread the tape over the feed roll. A belt clip receives the hollow hub permitting the applicator to be releasably suspended from the waist belt of a user.
