An adhesive tape dispenser has a lower compartment 10 with a bottom aperture 12 and a cutting blade 13 at one side of the aperture. Tape is dispensed through the aperture 12 and chosen length severed by the blade 13. The figure shows the situation where an end of a desired length is about to be severed by continuing to move the dispenser to the right. During dispensing, a pressure roller 18, mounted adjacent the aperture, is pressed down to press the tape firmly against an external surface and to space the tape away from the cutting blade 13 during dispensing.
