Abstract
A hand-held packaging tape dispenser is provided which includes a rotary tape holder controlled by a spring mechanism and an adjusting nut for holding and guiding packaging tape. The packaging tape guide roller provides for a guide for the leading end of the packaging tape. A cutting mechanism includes a pressure plate, a cutter holder, and a swing block which are controlled by a spring for cutting off the leading end of the packaging tape delivered from the housing. A printing mechanism prints on the leading end of the packaging tape and a packaging tape stretching mechanism stretches the leading end of the packaging tape for a printing operation by the printing mechanism.
