Abstract
A dispenser for correction tape, reinforcement tabs and the like which is singularly capable of housing and dispensing one at a time of a permanent correction tape or permanent reinforcement tabs each of which includes a releasable backing sheet. The dispenser is also capable of housing and dispensing a readhering correction tape which does not require a separate backing sheet. The dispenser is of integral plastic construction molded as a single unit preferably by injection molding. The dispenser is adapted for easy loading and dispensing of the permanent correction tape, the permanent reinforcement tabs, or the readhering type correction tape. The dispenser is composed of a case which has a backface, two opposite facing side walls, a bottom panel, and an open front area. A cylindrical spindle is connected to the backface and protrudes into the case. The spindle holds the tape. The dispenser is provided with a first and a second cutting member and two threading members disposed therebetween. The threading members are secured to the back face and each threading member has a horizontal guide panel which is perpendicular to the back face. A continuous supply of either type of tape or reinforcement tabs is dispensed by manually pulling on the exposed end of the tape.
