Abstract
A tape dispenser is disclosed. The tape dispenser may include a pair of spools that are configured to carry tape and a spring disposed between the spools. The spring is preferably arranged to form a claw having two distal ends biased towards each other. The distal ends may each include a roller rotatably attached thereto. The spring may be configured to open responsive to a force on the roller resulting from a shaft coming between the rollers such that the rollers rotate to travel around the shaft to apply the tape.
