Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transfer tape case having a built-in transfer tape for correcting opaque paint by applying opaque paint to characters on paper.

[0002]

Conventionally, a supply reel, a take-up reel, and a reel gear for rotating each reel are provided in a splittable left and right case body, and a take-up reel is provided from the supply reel via a tape head. While the transfer tape is being wound, the transfer tape is pressed against the paper surface by a tape head, and the paint of the transfer tape is applied to the paper surface to erase unnecessary characters and the like on the paper surface. However, when the transfer tape has been used, it cannot be easily replaced with a new transfer tape to which the paint has adhered, and the case body and the like have been discarded, which is extremely uneconomical. Therefore, when the supply reel, the take-up reel, and the tape head are detachably fixed on one sheet of the backing paper and the transfer tape is wound around each reel and the tape head and loaded into the case body, the case body is Although it can be shared and used economically, it is necessary to detach the backing sheet after loading each reel and the like, and there is a problem that the reel or the tape head comes off when removing the backing sheet. In addition, when the reels and the tape head are incorporated into the tape cassette together with the reel gear, and the tape cassette is attached to and detached from the case body, the problem that the reel or the tape head is separated at the time of replacement can be eliminated. There is a problem that the manufacturing cost cannot be easily reduced.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a transfer tape case in which a tape cassette is removably mounted on a splittable left and right case body and a reel gear is provided on one of the left and right case bodies. The tape cassette is formed by sandwiching a supply reel and a take-up reel for winding the transfer tape, and a tape head for guiding the transfer tape between the left and right substrates. The left and right substrates on which the supply reel, the take-up reel and the tape head are provided can be formed in a flat plate shape, so that the tape cassette structure can be easily simplified, and the reel gear that rotates the supply reel and the take-up reel in conjunction with each other is a tape cassette. It is not necessary to provide
The case body and reel gear can be reused to replace only the tape cassette and refill the transfer tape, reducing the manufacturing cost of the tape cassette, etc., and easily replacing the transfer tape or dropping off the tape head etc. And the like can easily be eliminated.

1) There are no problems such as dropout.

Further, the shaft hole (24) of the supply reel (19) is loosely fitted to the shaft (23) of the left substrate (11), and the protrusion (26) is fitted to the shaft (25) of the large-diameter gear (7). ) To lock the shaft hole (24) of the supply reel (19), and the take-up reel (27) through the opening (27) of the left case body (1) and the opening (28) of the left substrate (11). 20) Shooting (29)
Is projected outward, the take-up reel (20) is rotatably mounted on the shaft (30) of the right substrate (12), and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion (31) of the small-diameter reel gear (8) is taken up by the take-up reel (20). ) Is press-fitted into and out of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion (32), and the shaft (20a) of the take-up reel (20) is rotatably loosely inserted into the hollow portion of the reel shaft (6). The take-up reel (20) is rotated via the small-diameter reel gear (8) by the frictional resistance between 31 and (32), and the transfer tape (18) sent from the supply reel (19) is moved to each reel gear (7).
The take-up reel (20) is wound by the rotation of (8), and the take-up reel (20) is idled by rotating the photographing (29), and the tape (18) between the reels (19) and (20) is rotated.
Nervous.

Further, the tape head (2) made of synthetic resin
A square tubular boss (3) is attached to the elastically deformable arm (33) of (1).
4) is integrally formed, the boss (34) is fitted to the square shaft (35) of the left substrate (11), and the arm (33) is provided between the stoppers (36) (36) of the right case body (2). And the tape head (21) is moved by the swinging flexible force of the arm (33) whose deformation is restricted by the stopper (36).
The transfer tape (18) is pressed against the paper surface (16), the pressure for applying the tape (18) to the paper surface (16) is maintained properly, and the tape (18) is sent from the supply reel (19) and the paint (17) is applied. Makes you wear well.

When assembling the tape cassette (22), the supply reel (19) is attached to the shaft (23) of the left substrate (11), and the take-up reel (28) is inserted into the opening (28) of the left substrate (11). Insert the photograph (29) of (20) and insert the left substrate (1)
The tape head (21) is attached to the square shaft (35) of 1), and each reel (19) (20) and the tape head (2) are mounted.
After the transfer tape (18) is wrapped around during 1), the convex portion (15) of the right substrate (12) is replaced with the concave portion (1) of the left substrate (11).
4), the right substrate (1)
The take-up reel (20) is positioned and supported by the shaft (30) of (2), and when the tape cassette (22) is mounted on the right case body (2), the cylindrical portion (3) of the small-diameter reel gear (8).
1) is smoothly pressed into the cylindrical portion (32) of the take-up reel (20), and connects the gear (8) and the reel (20) with appropriate power transmission.

Also, the shaft (20a) of the take-up reel (20) is inserted into the hollow portion of the reel shaft (6) of the right case body (2), and each reel (1) is inserted into each of the reel gears (7) and (8).
9) Since the tape cassette (22) is supported on the right case body (2) by supporting the (20), the left case body (1) performs only the action of the lid of the right case body (2), and Error of each dimensional dimension of engagement between the main body (2) and the tape cassette (22) is reduced, thereby simplifying molding work and reducing manufacturing costs.

Further, a take-up reel (20) sandwiched between the left and right substrates (11) and (12) and a tape head (2).
The supply reel (19) is arranged between 1) and the shaft (3)
0), the take-up reel (20) is supported in a fixed position on the right substrate (12), and the shaft (20a) of the take-up reel (20) is inserted into the hollow portion of the reel shaft (6) of the right case body (2). As a result, the tape cassette (22) is held at an appropriate position with respect to the right case main body (2), and the shaft hole (2) of the supply reel (19) is opposed to the ridge (26) of the large-diameter gear (7).
4) is engaged in a loose fit state, and each reel gear (7) (8)
And the processing error of the center distances of the reels (19) and (20) can be absorbed, and the left case body (1) acts only as a lid of the right case body (2). When 1) and the left substrate (11) are formed by a transparent synthetic resin molding process, the degree of transparency from the outside of each of the reels (19) and (20) is increased, and the remaining state of the transfer tape (18) can be easily checked. In addition, the unused side and the used portion of the transfer tape (18) can be discriminated and the design appearance can be improved by coloring the reels (19) and (20) by colors.
