Semi-automatic (human powered) case sealing machine

摘要

A case sealing device is provided for applying a sealing tape to a surface of a case to be sealed. The device includes a work surface. A first portion of the work surface defines an entry region and a second portion of the work surface defines an exit region. A taping assembly is mounted adjacent the work surface between the entry region and the exit region. The taping assembly includes a taping head and a taping head linkage. The linkage has a rotatable first end and a second end. The second end is secured to the taping head. The taping head is adapted to hold an associated roll of tape. The taping head and the taping head linkage are configured to cooperate to dispense a strip of the tape from the taping head onto the surface of the case to be sealed as the case to be sealed is brought into contact with the taping assembly during sliding movement from the entry region to the exit region of the work surface.
