Abstract
A single-use tape applicator includes a pair of sidewalls spaced laterally from one another to define a tape storage enclosure, and two posts extending between the sidewalls and spaced from one another to define a generally oval-shaped run. A closed loop of backing material is supported by the posts and is movable relative to the posts along the run. The length of the loop is substantially equal to the length of the run. A piece of tape coated on one side with an adhesive material is supported and carried on the backing material. The enclosure defines an opening through which the tape is pulled from the backing material and dispensed.
