  • the invention relates to a hand-held device for transferring a film from, for example adhesive, opaque or colored material from a carrier tape to a substrate according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • compressive stress is required with which the friction surfaces press against each other.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • This handheld device is said to be simple Compliance with an optimal carrier tape tension in the narrowest tolerance ranges enable.
  • the supply reel, take-up reel and application device can be integrated in an interchangeable cassette, preferably by a corresponding insertion opening at the rear end of the housing into the housing can be inserted.
  • the take-up reel has a tensioning device for tensioning the Carrier tape has, wherein the take-up reel to prevent rotation of the Provide the take-up spool with a backstop in the unwinding direction of the carrier tape can be.
  • a first is first Embodiment of a hand-held device for transferring a film from a carrier tape described in more detail on a substrate.
  • the handheld device with an application bar is particularly suitable for transferring films from an opaque and / or colored material; to transfer an adhesive film is preferably instead of Applied a pressure roller.
  • the hand-held device essentially comprises a housing 1 consisting of a housing underside 2 and a housing top 3, one in the housing 1 rotatably mounted supply spool 4, a winding spool 5 rotatably mounted in the housing 1 and an application device 6 in the form of an application bar, which passes through an outlet opening 7 in the housing 1 at its front lower corner area (use position) from the Housing 1 protrudes.
  • a carrier tape 8 coated on one side with a film is of the Supply spool 4 led around the applicator bar 6 to the take-up spool 5.
  • the two coil formers 4 and 5 are arranged radially offset from one another and are seated each rotatably mounted on a hollow on the underside 2 of the housing trained journal 9 or 10. At least the supply spool 4 lies on one Projection 11, which is concentric to the journal 9 around it, so that the coils 4, 5 are positioned in the housing 1 such that the carrier tape 8 exactly in the middle of the height of the housing 1 and at the level of the application bar 6 to be described runs.
  • the top of the housing 3 has two pins 16, 17, which in the recesses the journal 9, 10 of the housing underside 2 are pressed in and the housing 1 of the Close the handset firmly.
  • 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.
  • the diameter of the top Coil wall 12 is dimensioned somewhat smaller than the diameter of the lower coil wall 13, which creates a mounting gap. Between the two coil walls 12, 13 is the carrier tape 8 guided, the supply spool 4 up to the larger outer diameter the lower coil wall 13 can be wound.
  • the outer diameter of this Coil wall 15 is significantly smaller than the outer diameter of the coil walls 12, 13 the supply spool.
  • the thickness of the coil wall 15, the outer diameter of the coil walls 13 and 15 and the mutual distance between the two coils 4 and 5 are dimensioned in such a way that the coil wall 15 can engage in the slot 14 of the coil wall 13.
  • the Thickness of the coil wall 15 of the take-up reel 5 is slightly larger than the width of the Slot 14 of the supply coil 4 and the surfaces of the coil wall 15 of the Winding spool 5 can also be roughened, so that the two bobbins 4 and 5 are in direct frictional contact with one another.
  • the frictional rotary drive formed in this way between the supply reel 4 and the take-up reel 5 ensures a drive and through the appropriate torque transmission Slip effect, which causes the take-up reel 5 at any time at a speed is driven that the carrier tape 8 is always slightly tensioned and never tears.
  • the above described design of the drive connection 13, 14, 15 with friction drive compared to the prior art the advantage that a biasing of each other in Frictional elements are not required. Because the coil wall 15 is clamped in the slot 14 of the coil wall 13 is a constant at all times Frictional force between the coils 4, 5 guaranteed.
  • the applicator bar 6 has a cross section at its end located in the housing 1 polygonal, for example square, pin 18 on the corresponding Receptacles 19 and 20 on the bottom 2 and top 3. is rotatably received.
  • the application tip of the application bar 6 is preferably rigidly connected to the pin 18, the applicator tip itself being made of a soft, deformable plastic material.
  • the order tip can also be rigid formed and connected to the pin 18 via an elastic intermediate piece.
  • the handheld device consists essentially of a housing 18 into which a rear opening through a corresponding insertion opening 24 Exchangeable cassette 19 is inserted.
  • the exchangeable cassette 19 consists of a carrier plate 20 on which the two axle journals 9 and 10 for receiving the supply reel 4 and the take-up reel 5, preferably are integrally formed.
  • the two coils 4, 5 are in principle as in the above described first embodiment, in particular they have the same Drive connection 13, 14, 15 with integrated slip clutch by friction drive.
  • 3 and 4 is based on the transfer of an adhesive film aligned from the carrier tape 8 to a substrate containing the exchangeable cassette 19 therefore at its front end instead of the application bar 6 a rotatably mounted Pressure roller 22, the axis of rotation in a corresponding fork-shaped receiving device 21 is added.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the exchangeable cassette 19 does not snap into one illustrated locking device in the housing 18.
  • the interchangeable 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.
  • this groove is 26 through a corresponding opening in the housing 18 for the user from the outside accessible.
  • 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.
  • 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.
