Abstract
A tape dispenser for taping 90.degree. box corners includes a housing (12-20) for supporting a roll of tape to be dispensed therein, a first guiding member (30) for aligning the tape from the roll along the 90.degree. box corner to dispense a predetermined length of tape from the roll, a second guiding member (32, 34) for guiding initially the tape onto each side surface of the box forming the 90.degree. corner, and a third guiding member (42) for subsequently applying the tape onto the side surfaces of the box. A pair of blade carrying brackets (52, 54) is mounted for reciprocating vertical movement relative to the housing. A holder (58) is provided for receiving the blade carrying brackets for the reciprocating vertical movement therein. A cutting blade (56) is mounted to the lower ends of the blade carrying brackets. A cam actuating mechanism (76) is used to drive the blade carrying brackets downwardly to cause the blade to cut the tape which has been dispensed to the predetermined length.
