Wearable Tape Roll Support

Abstract

Disclosed is a tape roll support device attachable to a wearer's belt. The device comprises a belt connector element and an arcuate roll support member. The belt connector is an elongated strap or hoop adapted to accept a wearer's belt and secure the assembly thereto. The tape roll support member connects to the base of the belt connector and comprises a closed loop and compressible member having an open interior and a teardrop configuration. The member is compressed and fed through the open interior of a tape roll, whereafter the member is released to return to its original shape, supporting the roll along its length. Several tape rolls can be stacked in a horizontal and suspended configuration, whereafter each roll can be successively removed for deployment by the user.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A wearable tape roll support device, comprising:
 a belt connector element connecting to a roll support member;   said roll support member comprising a closed loop, elastic material that is adapted to be compressed together and fed through a tape roll interior, and thereafter return to its original configuration and support said tape roll.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said roll support member further comprises a tear drop shape having a collapsed upper region and a broad lower region, said broad lower region being compressed and returned to its shape after feeding through a tape roll, while said tape roll is supported along said upper region support by said broad lower region. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said belt connector element further comprises an elongated strap length forming a closed loop to accept a belt end therethrough. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said belt connector element further comprises an elongated strap length having a first and second end that form an disconnectable closed loop to form over a belt or accept a belt end therethrough. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said first and second strap length end is connectable using a snap element.
