Tapeworm, the Good Kind
Tapeworm is a strip that slides into any roll of tape for an instant tape dispenser. Due to the high yield strength of the material used, Tapeworm returns to its original flat shape despite significant bending and tension. It’s also friendly to you stomach and intestinal track so no worries there.

monkey face says
what about for the small rolls of tape, do we get a tape larvae?
paul sandip says
you are right…tapeWORM would be in different sizes depending on the varying dimensions of tapes.

I love it! simplicity in design ALWAYS prevails.

WELL DONE!!! well done!
ex says
good idea
Steve says
I could see this being added to every roll of tape sold, and only adding minimal extra cost. Just keep it on the inside of the roll with friction then set it up when needed.
TH says
Why would you need to add it to every roll of tape sold, when one is enough? Do we need more stuff to throw away?
Victor says
I really like this idea.
Brian says
Nice idea! I’m not sure if more than two different sizes are needed - most types of tape (big and small roles) are in the 1″ wide range with the larger sizes like 3″ wide being more for packing. The length of the support really is negligible since it is flexible and will curl back upon itself.

i think one of the main purposes of tape dispensers is that you don´t have to peel of the end of the remaining tape from the roll each time you want a piece. looking for that invisible line -then peeling -ugh!
now i like the idea, but i don´t really see tape worm solving this problem. thus : why not still use continue my teeth???
powers says
I think that problem could still be solved in this concept - maybe with a little built in finger tab that folds underneath? This is a great start, though. The kind of simple innovation I love to see.

If you really think its more than a good idea.
don’t sell to 3M. Just sell it by yourself.
