<p>The invention is an improved dispenser (71) for a transfer adhesive which is separated from its backing material and transferred onto a working surface, without the backing. The adhesive and backing are initially formed on a tape (87) which is threaded from a supply reel (75), and around a tape roller (79), the spent backing being wound on a take-up reel (77). The adhesive is applied by rolling the tape roller (79) along the working surface. The tape roller (79) is attached to a lever (91), which in a first position prevents the supply reel (75) from rotating, and in a second position allows the supply reel (75) to rotate. The lever (91) is spring-biased so that it is normally in the first position. When the tape roller (79) is pressed against the working surface, so as to apply the adhesive, the lever (91) shifts to the second position. Thus, the dispenser (71) is automatically enabled when one begins to use it, and is automatically disabled when the dispenser (71) is put aside.</p> |
