Abstract
The tape dispenser has a housing accommodating a tape. The tape consists of a carrier ribbon carrying a coating of a composition. The housing also accommodates used carrier ribbon from which the composition has been removed. The supply of tape is held in an elongated reel wound around a pair of spaced and independently rotatable spool members. Ends of the carrier ribbon are connected together, and the used carrier ribbon is stored on the reel with remaining unused tape.
