Description
- The present invention relates to a film transfer tool and, in particular, to a film transfer tool including an application head which is operably moveable between exposed and stowed positions.
- When correcting mistakes in a pencil-written work, an eraser can be used to wipe out the mistakes easily. When correcting mistakes in a pen-written work, correction fluid can be used. A problem that correction fluid suffers is that the fluid takes time to become solid. Further, the fluid has an unpleasant and harmful odor. A correction tape which is an alternative to cover the mistakes, and unlike the correction fluid, the correction tape has no problem of taking time to become solid and harmful odor. The correction tape gradually substitutes the use of the correction fluid.
- Referring to
U.S. Pat. No. 6,622,768 entitled correction tape roll device shows two gears that selectively engage so as to reel a correction tape, and this kind of correction tape roll device sets the basic model in the art. However, a problem with this correction tape roll device is that it has a head exposed and causes the correction tape thereon become dirty by dust or other foreign particle easily. -
EP Pat. No. 1950160 of applicator's invention shows a correction tape dispenser including an application head which automatically moves to a stowed position. The correction tape dispenser includes a front cover with a through slot, a reel assembly with an application head, a retractable device and a rear cover. The reel assembly is mounted in the front cover and partially extends outside the through slot. The retractable device has two ends abutting the core and the rear cover respectively and can control a forward/backward position of the reel assembly. Additionally, the rear cover is connected to the front cover. User can push the reel assembly to make the retractable device push the application head of the reel assembly and cause the application head to extend from outside the front cover. Thus, it is convenient for user to push the reel assembly and therefore make the application head of the reel assembly extended. Further, the application head would be retained inside thefront cover 10 if it is not used, and the correction tape is maintained clean. - Applicant's design has certainly enabled the application head to selectively move to a stowed position. Unfortunately, the correction tape dispenser has relatively numerous components and the cost thereof can not be effectively reduced. Then, it will easily lose its competing strength in the stationary market. Moreover, it is impossible to assemble numerous components quickly and the components increase the cost of manufacturing.
- Applicant is, therefore, intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems by providing a design which reduces the cost of manufacturing, uses fewer components, and enables the application head to move to a stowed position as well.
- According to the present invention, it is an object of the present invention to provide a film transfer tool which reduces the cost of manufacturing, uses fewer components, and enables an application head to move to a stowed position as well.
- A film transfer tool includes an application head which is adapted to be moved to a stowed position and a reel assembly having a wall and two stopping members extended therefrom. The reel assembly and a shell have an active member disposed therebetween. The active member has a looped passage that the two stopping members are adapted to move thereon and the two stopping members can make the reel assembly position in a retained position in which the head extends outside the shell, and release the reel assembly from the retained position in order that the head is stowed inside the shell.
- Additionally, a force-applied member is utilized to control the reel assembly and the positioning of the two stopping members of the reel assembly with respect to the active member enables the head to be stowed.
