Antriebsverbindung und Rutschkupplung sind einteilig durch kleine und einfache Bauteile ausgebildet, so daß keine zusätzlichen Teile für die Antriebsverbindung und die Rutschkupplung erforderlich sind und eine einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung erreicht wird.A handheld device of this type is known, for example, from DE-C2-42 20 712 by the applicant known, the two bobbins of the supply spool and take-up spool are here directly in frictional contact with one another. Drive connection and slip clutch are formed in one piece by small and simple components, so that no additional parts for the drive connection and the slip clutch are required and a simple and inexpensive manufacture is achieved.

Die Spulen des in der DE-C2-42 20 712 gezeigten Handgerätes weisen jeweils ein Nabenteil auf, von dem seitliche Spulenwände in Form von runden Scheiben ausgehen, zwischen denen das Trägerband aufgewickelt ist bzw. aufgewickelt wird. Die Antriebsverbindung mit integrierter Rutschkupplung wird durch wenigstens ein Paar unmittelbar in Eingriff stehende Reibflächen gebildet, die an einander gegenüberliegenden Innen- und Außenseiten der scheibenförmigen Spulenwände ausgebildet sind. Um die Drehmitnahme zwischen den Spulen aufgrund der an den Reibflächen wirksamen Reibung zu gewährleisten, bedarf es einer Druckspannung, mit der die Reibflächen gegeneinander drücken. Alternativ dazu kann der Reibungsdruck auch dadurch erzeugt werden, daß wenigstens eine der beiden Reibflächen in Querrichtung nachgiebig und mit einer Kraft gegen die andere Reibfläche vorgespannt ist.The coils of the hand-held device shown in DE-C2-42 20 712 each have Hub part, from which side coil walls in the form of round disks extend, between which the carrier tape is wound or is wound. The drive connection with integrated slip clutch is immediately in at least one pair Engaging friction surfaces formed on opposite inner and Outside of the disc-shaped coil walls are formed. To take the film between the coils due to the effective friction on the friction surfaces, compressive stress is required with which the friction surfaces press against each other. Alternatively, the friction pressure can also be generated in that at least one of the two friction surfaces in the transverse direction and with a force against the other friction surface is biased.

Ferner offenbart die DE-U1-94 07 305 ein Handgerät der eingangs genannten Art, bei dem die Antriebsverbindung zwischen Vorratsspule und Aufwickelspule durch ein in radialer Richtung nachgiebiges und koaxial zur Aufnahmespule angeordnetes Reibradelement gebildet ist, das über eine Rad-Umfangsaußenfläche an einem Umfangs-Flächenabschnitt eines koaxial zur Vorratsspule angeordneten Gegenrad anliegt, um einen Reibkraftübertragungs-Anlagebereich auszubilden. Dieses Handgerät soll auf einfache Weise die Einhaltung einer optimalen Trägerbandspannung in engsten Toleranzbereichen ermöglichen. Furthermore, DE-U1-94 07 305 discloses a hand-held device of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which the drive connection between the supply reel and take-up reel in a radial Direction compliant and arranged coaxially to the take-up friction wheel element is formed, which via a wheel outer circumferential surface on a circumferential surface portion of a counter wheel arranged coaxially to the supply spool bears around a frictional force transmission area train.

Der Durchmesser der oberen Spulenwand 12 ist etwas kleiner bemessen als der Durchmesser der unteren Spulenwand 13, wodurch ein Montagespalt entsteht. Zwischen den beiden Spulenwänden 12, 13 wird das Trägerband 8 geführt, wobei die Vorratsspule 4 bis zum größeren Außendurchmesser der unteren Spulenwand 13 bewickelt werden kann.The supply spool 4 is preferably in one piece at its upper and lower axial end each provided with a coil wall 12, 13 in the form of a disc. The lower one The coil wall 13 is slotted, the depth of the slot 14 being approximately 5 mm and the width of the slot 14 is about 1 mm.

Wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, werden die Vorratsspule 4 und die Aufwickelspule 5 gemeinsam auf die beiden Achszapfen 9, 10 aufgesetzt und rasten an einem an dem Achszapfen 9 für die Vorratsspule 4 umlaufenden Vorsprung 27 ein. Anschließend wird, wie dies in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist, die Wechselkassette 19 mit den beiden Spulen 4, 5 und der Andruckrolle 22 durch eine entsprechende Einschuböffnung 24 im Gehäuse 18 von hinten in das Gehäuse 18 eingeschoben. Die Wechselkassette wird dabei soweit in das Gehäuse 18 eingeschoben, bis die Andruckrolle 22 aus einer Austrittsöffnung 23 am vorderen Ende des Gehäuses 18 herausragt und gleichzeitig die Einschuböffnung 24 am hinteren Ende des Gehäuses 18 durch eine an der Trägerplatte 20 der Wechselkassette 19 angeformte Wandung 25 verschlossen wird. In dieser Gebrauchsstellung rastet die Wechselkassette 19 in einer nicht dargestellten Einrastvorrichtung im Gehäuse 18 ein. Zum Wechseln der Wechselkassette 19 kann die Wechselkassette 19 allein durch Aufwenden von Zugkraft oder zusätzlich durch Betätigen einer ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Entkupplungsvorrichtung aus der Einrastvorrichtung gelöst werden.As shown in Fig. 3, the supply spool 4 and the take-up spool 5 are opened together the two journals 9, 10 put on and rest on one of the journals 9 for the Supply spool 4 circumferential projection 27. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 the interchangeable cassette 19 with the two coils 4, 5 and the pressure roller 22 through a corresponding insertion opening 24 in the housing 18 from behind into the housing 18 inserted. The interchangeable cassette is inserted into the housing 18 as far as until the pressure roller 22 emerges from an outlet opening 23 at the front end of the housing 18 protrudes and at the same time the insertion opening 24 at the rear end of the housing 18th through a wall 25 formed on the carrier plate 20 of the exchangeable cassette 19 is closed. In this position of use, the exchangeable cassette 19 does not snap into one illustrated locking device in the housing 18. For changing the exchangeable cassette 19 can the interchangeable cassette 19 alone by applying tensile force or additionally by actuating a decoupling device, also not shown, from the Snap device be released.

Weiter ist am oberen axialen Ende der Aufwickelspule 5 eine in radialer Richtung verlaufende Nut 26 vorgesehen. Bei eingeschobener Wechselkassette 19 ist diese Nut 26 durch eine entsprechende Öffnung im Gehäuse 18 für den Benutzer von außen frei zugänglich. Mit Hilfe dieser Nut 26 kann die Aufwickelspule 5 vom Benutzer von außen in Aufwickelrichtung des Trägerbandes 8 gedreht und somit das Trägerband 8 bei Bedarf von Hand gespannt werden. Um ein Drehen der Aufwickelspule 5 in die verkehrte Richtung und somit ein Abwickeln des Trägerbandes 8 von der Aufwickelspule 5 zu vermeiden, kann an der Aufwickelspule 5 und dem zugehörigen Achszapfen 10 eine Rücklaufsperre vorgesehen sein. Eine solche Rücklaufsperre kann beispielsweise aus einer an dem Achszapfen 10 außen umlaufenden Verzahnungsabschnitt mit Sägezahn-Geometrie und einem korrespondierenden innen am Spulenkörper 5 umlaufenden Verzahnungsabschnitt gebildet sein, der in den Verzahnungsabschnitt des Achszapfens 10 in Eingriff steht.Next is at the upper axial end of the take-up spool 5 in the radial direction extending groove 26 provided. When the interchangeable cassette 19 is inserted, this groove is 26 through a corresponding opening in the housing 18 for the user from the outside accessible. With the help of this groove 26, the take-up reel 5 can be used by the user from the outside rotated in the winding direction of the carrier tape 8 and thus the carrier tape 8 if necessary be tensioned by hand. To turn the take-up reel 5 in the wrong direction Direction and thus unwinding of the carrier tape 8 from the take-up reel 5 can avoid one on the take-up reel 5 and the associated journal 10 Backstop can be provided. Such a backstop can, for example, from a on the axle journal 10 circumferential toothed section with sawtooth geometry and a corresponding toothed section running on the inside of the bobbin 5 be formed, which engages in the toothed portion of the journal 10 stands.

In dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel des Handgerätes kann selbstverständlich anstelle der Andruckrolle 22 auch eine Auftragleiste 6 eingesetzt werden, um das Handgerät mit einem Korrekturband 8 auszustatten. Andererseits besteht auch bei dem ersten Ausführunsbeispiel die Möglichkeit, die Aufwickelspule 5 mit einer Spannvorrichtung 26 zu versehen. In the second embodiment of the handheld device can of course instead of Pinch roller 22 can also be used to apply the applicator bar 6 with a Equip correction tape 8. On the other hand, there is also the first embodiment the possibility of providing the take-up reel 5 with a tensioning device 26.
