The present invention relates to a support or dispenser for a tape which is adhesive on one or both of its faces, and particularly to a dispenser wherein the cutting of the tape is effected automatically by a blade which is suitably mounted on the support.
Desktop adhesive tape supports are already known. With this type of support, the user must detach the tape from the roll and then cut it by pressing it against a stationary cutting device which is carried by the dispenser.
This involves certain difficulties in use and in the placing of the tape on the surfaces to be taped or connected together.
Another drawback is that in this type of support, after the last use, the free end of the tape of the roll customarily sticks on. The user encounters difficulties upon the following use of the tape since he must detach the stuck end. In most cases an auxiliary tool is required which he ordinarily does not have at hand. In that case he uses his nail, thereby damaging a part of the tape, which must be discarded. All of this means a loss of part of the adhesive tape.
