Abstract: |
A tape leash is provided to facilitate the application of masking tape, duct tape and other types of tape where large quantities of tape are to be applied. The tape leash is comprised of strap elements which may be releasably linked in pairs to form two separate loops. The strap elements in one pair are releasably secured about the wrist of a user and the free ends of the strap elements of the other pair are passed through the center opening of a roll of tape and releasably secured to each other. The roll of tape is thus linked to the wrist of the user to greatly facilitate and expedite the manual application of tape drawn from the roll.
