Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring a film from a carrier tape on a substrate, with a housing in which a supply coil for a carrier tape coated with the film, a take-up reel for taking up the carrier tape separated from the film and one which deflects the carrier tape Application device are arranged, the application device with its one, the deflecting end of the carrier tape protrudes from the housing and around the longitudinal direction of the carrier tape led out of the housing is pivotable.
  • Handheld devices for transferring a film from a carrier tape to a substrate are known in various designs.
  • the can on the film-like carrier tape attached film an adhesive film or a masking compound to cover up faulty paper Characters.
  • a device of the type mentioned at the outset is known from EP 0 656 308 B1.
  • a housing one of which is the supply spool and the other the take-up spool forms.
  • the carrier tape coated with the film is wound on the supply reel, the film being attached to the outside of the carrier tape.
  • This runs from the supply spool arranged in the rear part of the housing
  • Carrier tape over a pin-like tape guide to the application device and is redirected there via a wedge-shaped tapered application bar.
  • a substrate e.g. B. paper
  • the tape After the deflection of the carrier tape on the application bar, the tape is led back into the case and runs over another pen-like Tape guide on the spool core of the take-up spool, which is in the front Area of the housing is arranged.
  • the first mentioned tape guide for the fresh, not yet used Carrier tape is required because the supply spool is in the rear Area of the housing and the take-up reel in the front area of the Housing and two coils and the application device are arranged approximately in a straight line one behind the other. If after a larger amount of used carrier foil after a certain operating time has accumulated on the take-up spool and that on the supply spool existing share of carrier tape has become significantly lower, is due to the mentioned tape guide avoided that the unused carrier tape on returning used carrier tape and on the winding of the take-up reel scrubs and in this way damage to the film on the carrier tape as well as premature detachment of the film from the tape occurs. This is especially important with the so-called correction rollers, because there is It is necessary for the correct functioning that the faulty Character covering film completely without cracks or gaps on the Bring substrate to cover the area to be corrected completely.
  • a disadvantage of the known adhesive roller is the need for tape guides in the area between the unwinding point of the supply reel and the application device provided.
  • the carrier tape is in the area of the tape guides namely, relatively kinked, with part of the film coming from the carrier film can solve.
  • publication WO-A-9712828 is a tape applicator with a pivotable application device known.
  • This device is the Application device about an axis of rotation which is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the from the Housing out led carrier tape is pivoted to convenient use with both left and right hands enable.
  • EP-A-0695645 is also a device for transmitting a Described film from a carrier tape on a substrate, which, however, a has non-swiveling application roll.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object at the beginning of a device mentioned type largely exclude the risk that the on the carrier tape applied film is damaged or prematurely removed from the carrier tape replaces.
  • the supply spool and the take-up spool are arranged one behind the other, it is further proposed that the supply spool be closer than the take-up spool is due to the order facility. In this way there is a multitude possible arrangements in which the carrier tape is self-supporting from the Supply spool to the order facility runs because it is not possible that unused carrier tape in contact with the winding of the take-up reel comes.
  • a particularly slim and handy version of the invention Device is reached when the two coils and the application device in the essentially lie in a line and the supply spool between the take-up spool and the application device is arranged.
  • gears with an intermediate gear it is also possible to use gears with an intermediate gear to be provided so that both coils rotate in the same direction. In this case it does not matter which side of the carrier tape the film is attached to.
  • the device according to the invention can be used as a disposable device or as a refillable device Be designed device.
  • everyone Coil is assigned to a gear that the gears for driving the connection Coils are in engagement with each other and arranged within the housing and that an interchangeable cassette can be inserted into the housing, which contains the two coils and the application device.
  • Such a removable cassette is particularly environmentally friendly because of the amount of consumables is kept low. It is also possible with the same case too Carrier tapes of different widths and with different film material too use.
  • the device according to the invention pivots the application device by very large angles without damaging the on the carrier tape applied film is possible should have extremely large swivel angles can be avoided since the correspondingly strong twisting of the carrier tape increases could damage the film. It is therefore proposed that the application device at least one with a corresponding stop part interacting stop part to limit the swivel angle having.
  • the swivel angle should be at least 90 °, in particular 135 ° and very particularly preferably 180 °.
