Description

Correction tape dispenser

The present invention relates to a kind of correction tape dispenser, it is used for being placed on the plane, particularly paper having band or the bar of altering agent, reaches the purpose of altering wrong place thereby for example be used for covering this lip-deep symbol.

Known correction tape dispenser is provided with the supply shaft and the winding off spindle of the correction band that is used for supplying with and batch a box, and supply shaft and winding off spindle are around the rotation that parallels to the axis, and supply shaft links to each other with winding off spindle by a sliding connecting device and drives its rotation.Tape drum can be suitable for the user and be directly used in gripping, perhaps also can be made into a box tube and places among the reusable housing.Derived tape drum and on the pressure head (or pressure head) of a slightly pointed seamed edge of tool at one section band between two spools, this pressure head is used for being pressed in and wanting extrusion to change the position of band on the paper altering band.This alter band by one for example the ribbon of plastics or paper forms, have in the one side and contain the coating of altering agent, the outside that coating should be with by pressure head the time.During use, this device is held in the hand and with pressure head is pressed in downwards on the paper, make its seamed edge the overall with of altering band can be pressed on the paper.Altering agent has certain viscosity, and it should be than big with the viscosity of the moving belt that transports it to the viscosity of paper, thereby when its pressure head is moved perpendicular to the pressure head seamed edge on paper, pressure head just will be with from supply spool corresponding to the slip of conveyer belt and pull down.Supply spool must rotate the rotation that has caused winding off spindle, the tension that makes band can keep a substantial constant, winding off spindle is rolled is through pressure head and alter the agent coating and be deposited on used band portion on the paper.Can put the band of continuous correction agent so on paper, this length depends on the distance that the dispenser pressure head moved.

Cover on the paper with regard to altering bar, known correction tape dispenser can be operated satisfactorily.But it needs experience to guarantee that the seamed edge of pressure head correctly is pressed on the paper really, and pressure head is through all requiring to keep the location of its requirement in the whole stroke of paper.Particularly the edge of pressure head all must be flat on the paper at all constantly, just can make to alter to be with to be pressed on the paper equably basically on its whole width.In the form of the correction tape dispenser preferably of prior art, pressure head and dispenser shell are the relations of rigidity, and when therefore coating a correction bar on paper, the user must hold this dispenser and keep it accurately to locate with respect to paper.Because consider the direction of pressure head seamed edge,, so just aggravated this defective because the structure of dispenser shell body makes the user to hold this dispenser with a factitious posture of relative paper with the location.

Known a kind of correction tape dispenser that is provided with the band pressure head from U.S. Pat-A-4671687, its pressure head and being connected that this dispenser shell is done to pivot, pressure head can be rotated around the axle with pressure head length direction traversed by, but, pivot is limited to the tripping head edge suitable distance, is connected with shell at this place's pressure head.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of band and contain the correction tape dispenser that band is pressed onto the pressure head of the seamed edge on the paper, it does not have above-mentioned shortcoming.Wherein pressure head comprise one can be around the part that is connected with supporting member that pivots of pressure head, described rotation is around extending with the pressure head traversed by and carrying out at the axle that passes the pressure head seamed edge on very closely with the pressure head seamed edge at least.With this near the pressure head seamed edge, and and the pressure head seamed edge intersects or the intimate axle that intersects can obtain a self-adjusting between pressure head seamed edge and paper, therefore not only can guarantee the initial horizontal on paper of pressure head seamed edge, and when paper moves, still can guarantee the location that the pressure head seamed edge is smooth on paper when the pressure head seamed edge, because the axle of ram movement places in the paper plane basically.

Described axle is preferably vertical with the direction of pressure head seamed edge basically, and the pressure head moving direction during promptly generally with use aligns, and pivot and pressure head seamed edge intersect at the middle part of pressure head seamed edge in a special embodiment.

It is favourable that pressure head is used to pivot by cartridge housing supporting, but also can use other form of pivot.

Followingly be elaborated, understand completely of the present invention thereby can obtain one with reference to the embodiment of accompanying drawing to a demonstration.In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 is for using the perspective view of correction tape dispenser, for the clear front end of having left out described dispenser main body of expressing by the present invention;

Fig. 2 is the dispenser front view, and wherein shell illustrates with section;

Fig. 3 is the side view of dispenser end portion;

Fig. 4 is the side view of the amplification of dispenser pressure head; With

Fig. 5 A, 5B, 5C are the cross-sectional view of pressure head, illustrate respectively the normal position of pressure head and two extreme pivot the position.

Correction tape dispenser shown in the figure is provided with the overcoat or the shell 1 that comprise supply and winding off spindle 2 and 3.Spool can and link to each other with a slip transmission mechanism in known manner around its corresponding parallel axes rotation, the form of belt wheel 4,5 as described, dragged a driving-belt 6 around this two belt wheel, reached the purpose that the correction band fluffs between prevention two spools thereby make supply shaft 2 batch used correction band with 8 energy of rotation drive winding off spindle 3 rotations corresponding to trailing correction.Usually alter the coating that is provided with a correction agent with 8 sides at conveyer belt.

Pressure head component places on the housing and the outstanding front end that passes housing, and it comprises a pressure head supporting member 9 and an independent sector 10 that forms pressure head.Supporting member 9 is provided with guide wheel or minor axis 12, alter band just by this guide wheel or minor axis guiding or diversion pressure head 10, just can arrest this correction tape dispenser shell with a very common angle of writing when using like this with respect to paper, specifically describe visible UK Patent Application No.9401594.8 (German patent application P4404103.9, Japanese patent application 15438/94 and U.S. Patent Application Serial No.08/192,471).

Pressure head 10 defines pressing head seamed edge 15, altering band by means of the pressure head seamed edge is crushed on the paper, article one, revising agent transfers on the paper from conveyer belt, be provided with a pair of guide vane 16 in the pressure head both sides and be used for altering the auxiliary guiding of band with respect to 15 pairs of seamed edges, and the correct acting in conjunction that can keep altering band and pressure head seamed edge in use.The part of the pressure head of drawing from seamed edge is bifurcated and forms a slotted portion 18 with seamed edge 15 coplanes, holds the formed flat ligule end of end portion of supporting member 9 in this slotted portion.The free end of this ligule end is provided with a columniform bearing-surface 19 of part, it and be complementary by the bearing-surface 20 of the formed complementation of bottom end side of slit 18.These bearing-surfaces are being the center with pressure head seamed edge 15 binary axis P.Two supporting planes form a cartridge housing can make pressure head 10 therefore the dispenser housing be rotated around the P axle with respect to the free rotation of supporting member.Bearing-surface is provided with braking surface 21 in its end, 22, their joint can limit the swing of pressure head around pivot, two limit swing position shown in Fig. 5 B and 5C, the swing that is allowed can be by swinging sideward for example 3-5 ° of several years with the normal center shown in Fig. 5 A, but where necessary can be bigger as greatly to 10 °.When pressure head was pressed on the paper, as long as be held in approximate correct orientation allotting body, the seamed edge of this pressure head can be adjusted automatically it is entirely placed on the paper, is with 8 to be clipped between paper and the pressure head seamed edge and alter.When pressure head moves perpendicular to the seamed edge direction in the paper upper edge, make that by the pressure head applied pressure altering agent adheres on paper, and pressure head is pulled out unworn correction band and under the shop, dead ahead of mobile pressure head from supply spool 2 along the slip of conveyer belt.When making after the correction agent of before being carried stays on paper, the correction band that pressure head had been pressed is retracted in the shell and on winding off spindle.Because pressure head and place the connection moving body dispenser shell of swinging between the pivot on the paper to have slightly basically to rock, but it can not damage coupling smooth between pressure head seamed edge and paper, so can cause being convenient to use of this dispenser yet.

Certainly can carry out various remodeling to this correction tape dispenser not departing from concept and range of the present invention.For example those skilled in the art be not difficult to find out between above-described pressure head 10 and supporting member 9 pivot in succession, also have many methods of attachment that other pivots, and other pivot scheme.

In addition, the present invention can be applied to all correction tape dispensers and need not consider the shape of its shell and the location of relative pressure head seamed edge.This can be provided with one in case of necessity and flick spring and be used for pressure head is biased into the centre position shown in Fig. 5 A, though also can be guaranteed by the tension of altering band.
