Abstract
A clip-on tape dispenser for reeled tape comprises, in integral configuration, a middle section, at least portions of which are designed to ride on the outermost turn of the reeled tape, and two flank sections located on either side of the middle section in planes substantially perpendicular to the general plane containing the middle section, and a cutting section being part of and folded up from the middle section and having a tape-cutting edge. The dispenser has at least one tooth-like member provided in at least one of the flanks and configured in such a way as to permit the dispenser to be easily clipped onto the reeled tape in a substantially radial direction thereto and to be slid thereon in a circumferential direction, but to oppose dislodgement of the dispenser in the substantially radial direction.
