CLEAR CUT - PVC Tape Dispenser

PVC TAPE DISPENCER
" Making PVC Tape easy and efficient to use "

PVC Electrical Insulation Tape is a very regularly used product. The electrician continuously uses it to cover the open live wires. The problem comes when the user has to cut the tape. The tape is rolled around the wire and  stretched and broken. This leads to a lot of pressure on the wire. The hand may get cut or hurt while stretching the tape. Also, in a case of thin wires , the stretching  of the tape may cause breakage.
CLEAR CUT works with all standard sizes of PVC / Insulation Tape.
The tape can be made of many plastics, but vinyl is most popular, as it stretches well and gives an effective and long lasting insulation.
    A wide variety of electrical tapes are available; some for highly specialized purposes. 
CLEAR CUT is not an adhesive tape dispenser !

The compact design fits in any hand perfectly and makes sure you never have to use both your hands to cut the tape. Simply slide your finger under the top of the mouth to pull the tape out of the dispenser and press the upper and the lower body to cut it.
It uses 2 spring steel sheets to make sure that the motion is smooth while cutting and the blade is never in contact with the tape till the product is pressed. The live hinge at its back and simple locking , allows the user to easily mount the tape inside. For Safety, its sharp blade is placed around the walls of the lower housing , so you may never cut your hand.
Handheld - Small and compact - Space for fingers to pass / hold - Cutting mechanism - Ergonomically efficient - Easily Manufacture able Easy to use and understand
 
Prototyping and Testing
Prototype was made through vaccum forming of HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)
