DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transfer tape applicator for transferring a transfer tape contained in a container body to a transfer surface or the like, in particular, by pressing the transfer tape onto the transfer surface or the like to transfer the transfer tape. Transfer head and the structure of the transfer head protection device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of transfer tape applicator generally has a bare transfer head. When not in use, the coating film peels off or falls off a desk to damage the transfer head. There is a possibility that dust may adhere to the coating film of the transfer tape held by the transfer head, hindering the transfer operation of the coating film, or other articles may be stained by the peeled coating film. . Therefore, in recent years, commercially available ones equipped with a fitting-type protective cover such as a cap or a sliding-type protective cover so that the transfer coating film does not come off in contact with an unintended part when not in use. Have been.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following problems. In the case of a fitting-type protective cover made of a cap or the like, it is necessary to perform the work of attaching and detaching the protective cover every time the transfer tape applicator is used, which is troublesome and may cause the protective cover to be lost.

In the case of a slide type protective cover, the protective cover is easily stored in the container body when not in use, does not serve to protect the transfer head, and the transfer tape comes into contact with an unintended portion to peel off the coating film. Then, there is a risk that the transfer operation will be hindered when the printer is used next time.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art. With a simple structure, it is possible to protect a transfer head and apply a transfer tape so that a coating film is not peeled off by contact with an unintended part when not in use. Tool.

[0006]

For this purpose, it is wound and held on a delivery reel provided in the container body, and is wound and stored on a winding reel similarly provided in the container body after use. A slide button for pressing the transfer tape to be transferred onto the surface to be transferred and transferring the transfer head, which protrudes from the front end side of the container body and is integrated with the rolling gear, in the container body when not in use. Slidably provided outside the main body container, a rack integrally mounted with the slide button inside the container main body, and a gear interlocking with the rack are specially provided inside the container main body, and the gear on the transfer head side is described above. In conjunction with the rolling gear, the outer gear is simultaneously linked with the teeth on the inner surface of the protective cover slidably mounted in the container body.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Since the above-mentioned configuration is provided, a slide button is slid forward in implementation.
The rack integrated with the slide button also moves forward, and the gear on the transfer head rotates in conjunction with it, and the rolling gear rotates in conjunction with this gear and the rolling gear, causing the transfer head to rotate. It is stored in the container body, and at the same time, the outer gear rotates in conjunction with the rack, and in conjunction with this, the protective cover slides forward to further protect the transfer head.

[0008]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. (1) is a transfer tape applicator which is an embodiment of the present invention. This transfer tape applicator (1) is provided with a delivery reel (7) for winding and holding a transfer tape (4), and the same after use. A container body (2) having a winding reel (8) for winding and storing a transfer tape (4) therein, and a rolling gear (11) integrated with a rolling gear (11) protruding from the tip side of the container body (2). A slide button (9) for storing the transfer head (3) inside the container body when not in use is slidably provided outside the container body, and is integrally attached to the slide button (9) inside the container body. Rack (10) and the rack (1)
The gear (6 ') on the transfer head side is interlocked with the rolling gear (11), and the outer gear (6) is simultaneously inserted into the container main body. It is slidably mounted and linked to teeth on the inner surface of a protective cover (5) divided into upper and lower parts.

In the transfer head (3), by moving the slide button (5) forward, the rack (10) also moves forward, and the inside of the container body (3) interlocked with the rack (10). The gear (6 ') on the transfer head side is rotated, and at the same time, the rolling gear (11) is rotated, so that the transfer head (3) is housed in the container body and, at the same time, the rack (10).
The outer gear (6) interlocking with the outer gear (6) rotates to slide the upper protective cover (5) forward, and at the same time, the lower gear (6 ") interlocking with the rolling gear rotates and lowers. The protective cover (5) also slides forward to protect the transfer head.

Next, when the rack (10) is used, the slide button (5) is moved backward.
Also moves rearward, the gear (6 ') on the transfer head side in the container body (3) interlocked with the rack (10) rotates, and at the same time, the rolling gear (11) rotates to transfer the transfer head ( 3) protrudes from the front end of the container body, and at the same time, the outer gear (6) interlocking with the rack (10) turns to rotate the upper protective cover (5).
Slides backward, and at the same time, the lower gear (6 ″) rotates in conjunction with the rolling gear (11), and the lower protective cover (5) also slides backward and is housed in the container body. And it becomes usable.

As another embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the upper and lower protective covers (5) are formed in a unitary structure such as a cylindrical shape, the lower gear becomes unnecessary. The rack (10) is moved by moving the slide button (5).
The transfer head (3) and the protective cover (5) can be protruded and retracted from the container body by the interlocking of the gear (6 ') on the transfer head side and the outer gear (6).

[0012]

As described above, in a transfer tape applicator for holding a transfer tape, pressing the transfer tape against a surface to be transferred, etc., and bringing the transfer tape into close contact with the transfer tape, a gear is provided between the transfer head and the container body. Has the effect of protecting the transfer head and preventing the transfer tape from coming into contact with an unintended part and preventing the transfer agent from peeling off.
