Abstract of the Disclosure A hand box sealing tape applicator for dispensing and applying a length of tape from a roll of tape to an object includes a frame comprising a support portion and an angled nose portion. A tape roll support means is provided on the support portion of the frame for rotatably supporting a roll of tape thereon and for providing a gripping surface for a user to hold and manipulate the hand tape applicator. Furthermore, an applicator member, preferably comprising an application roller, is operatively supported by the angled nose portion of the frame so that a space will be defined between the applicator member and a roll of tape when it is supported on the roll support means, wherein the space is positioned and of sufficient size so that when a roll of tape is supported on the roll support means and the roll of tape is held above one surface of an object, the application member can be positioned against another surface of the object that is perpendicular to the first surface with a corner of the object within the space. A guide means, preferably defined by at least one guide roller, is also provided for defining a tape guide path from the roll support means to the applicator member, and a cutting means is positioned adjacent to the applicator member for cutting the length of tape from the roll after it has been dispensed and applied to an object. The hand box sealing tape applicator is advantageously compact, portable and controllable and permits direct application of the box sealing tape to the surface of a box or carton. Moreover, the geometry and design of the present hand box sealing tape applicator minimizes user reorientation of the device even as the device sequentially applies box sealing tape in the manner of a conventional C-clip of tape.
