Most convenient to be this handle adjustable with respect to the applicator pivoting between two positions that the most suitable left hand and the right hand use.A stop mechanism can be set so that handle remains on selected adjusting position between normal used life, so the end user does not need to take special steps such as fastening any parts to fix handle position.

In a presently preferred embodiment, this stop mechanism is a general-duty ratchet form, and it can be transferred to handle any position in the several position.This external enwergy is shaped with distributing box, so that the left hand or the right hand use, this has the advantage that allows the end user can select the handle tilt scope according to personal preference easy to use and comfortable.

Because handle is adjustable, is given to applicator and will moves to zone on it from applicator with the backing strip of crossing so can not be scheduled to bring into.Therefore preferably tape guide is arranged to band guided and passes and axis consistent location basically, handle can be regulated with respect to applicator around this axis.In this method, band can be directed to the applicator edge and relatively between its fixing position, and no matter the handle position that mixes up.

Suitable is that tape guide comprises a pair of cylindrical roller, and the rotating shaft parallel of this pair roller is in pivot shaft, and the enough distances of their spaced surface, so that band can running freely between them.

Simultaneously will fully understand the present invention from the detailed description of a following one exemplary embodiment with reference to accompanying drawing, wherein:
