Abstract

A connective tape stand which is characterized by a ring tenon and a ring mortise separately provided on the outside of two side walls of the tape stand. A plurality of single-unit tape stands may be connected one another by engaging their ring tenons and ring mortises with corresponding ring mortises and ring tenons on adjoining tape stand. With a series of connected tape stands, tapes of diverse colors and patterns may be conveniently provided for the users to choose freely. The connective tape stand is also characterized by two flanges extended from the rear half circumference of two tape support rings inside the side walls to an adequate width. With these extended flanges, tape reel mounted thereon may be more steadily held without slipping off the tape support rings when the tape is pulled.
