Abstract
A roller assembly for a taping device includes a roller body defining a central bore, a bushing configured to be received within the central bore and rotationally fixed to the roller body, and a shaft configured to be disposed within the central bore. The shaft defines an outer surface that extends through the bushing. The shaft has a boss that extends radially outward from the outer surface. A resistance element is disposable within the central bore is configured to contact the bushing and the boss in a manner providing an amount of rotational resistance between the roller body and the shaft when the roller assembly is in an assembled configuration.
