Adhesive tape pedestal

Abstract

An adhesive tape pedestal is equipped with a cyclometer associated with a visual window to indicate the length of tape the user should pull out which just meets with the desired length so as to preclude wasting the tape. Besides, the cyclometer can indicate the total length of tape contained in a roll when it is used up that helps the user check whether or not the actual length of tape in a roll is in comply with the nominal length warranted by the manufacturer. The motion of the bobbin which carries the tape coiled on it is transmitted to actuate the cyclometer either by gear transmission means or by sensor actuating switch.

1 . An adhesive tape pedestal comprising: 
 a pedestal body, a cyclometer, and a roller,    wherein the cyclometer is installed properly on the pedestal body and has a visual window observable from outside, the cyclometer is associated with a driving member at one side for driving the cyclometer to rotate, a serrated cutting blade is sustained by two supporting walls erected at two sides on the front edge of the pedestal body, one of the supporting wall is conjoined to a bobbin, a driving wheel is rotatably sandwiched between the two supporting walls, the driving wheel has a transmission member engaged to one side thereof to actuate the cyclometer to operate, besides, a retainer notch is formed on the upper end of each supporting wall, the roller has a rotating shaft whose two sides are entrained on the two retainer notches formed on the supporting walls so as to make the roller in mesh with the driving wheel.    
   
   
       2 . The tape pedestal of  claim 1 , wherein the bobbin is for carrying a roll of tape coiled thereon to rotate.  
   
   
       3 . The tape pedestal of  claim 1 , wherein a hood is hinged turnably to the rear ends of the supporting walls.  
   
   
       4 . The tape pedestal of  claim 1 , wherein the transmission member is a gear mechanism or a rocking arm.  
   
   
       5 . The tape pedestal of  claim 1 , wherein the driving member of the cyclometer is a sensor actuated switch or a trigger switch.  
   
   
       6 . The tape pedestal of  claim 1 , wherein the driving member of the driving wheel is attached at a side of the roller and lets the driving wheel of the cyclometer to be in mesh with the transmission wheel of the roller.  
   
   
       7 . The tape pedestal of  claim 1 , wherein the pedestal is a handhold type.  
   
   
       8 . the tape pedestal of  claim 1 , wherein the pedestal is a table stand type.
