Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a reel assembly for a tape dispenser that includes a supply reel and a take-up reel. The reel assembly incorporates a clutch in the form of a viscous material disposed between a portion of the supply reel and a portion of the take-up reel. The viscous material serves to couple and provide controlled drag between the supply reel and take-up reel in order to properly tension a correction tape as it is dispensed from a correction tape dispenser. The invention also relates to a tape dispenser that utilizes a reel assembly having a viscous clutch and a tape cartridge. The reel assembly is preferably used in a correction tape dispenser for applying a correction film to a substrate.
