When you are pulling Cello-tape off the roll it becomes charged
with static.
Normally this is not a problem with heavier materials, but with
light weight
items it can be a nuisance.
For example, when trying to Cello-tape strips of paper, or other
tiny
fragments you may have carefully
positioned, the static retained
in the tape
causes them to fly up and attach themselves prematurely to the
sticky surface
of the tape poised above.
Cello-tape Dispenser With a Beak solves this problem.
The beak is attached to a bird's head (of your choice) and consists
of a simple
stylus that rests gently on the edge of the tape, when the bird's
head is
lowered into position. This stylus removes the static build up as
strips of tape
are pulled out ready for use.
Broad tape dispensers feature a row of birds to spread the weight
of the beaks
resting on the tape and ensure that it is not damaged as it is
extended.

Would this also work for violas?

Given the rather amazing ability for cellotape to produce X-rays of a human finger, it seems more appropriate for the bird's beak to be replaced by a pointing bony digit. Just in time for Halloween :-) |
