Description

  This invention uses a transfer tape in which a transparent adhesive (glue) or a decorative agent is applied in the form of a thin film on the surface of a tape base material made of a transparent material. The present invention relates to a coating film transfer tool that enables transfer by being pressed onto a transfer surface.

  This type of general coating film transfer tool includes a transfer tape unwinding rotating part and a used tape winding rotating part accommodated in a hollow case, and the transfer tape unwound from the unwinding rotating part. However, it is configured to be taken up by the take-up rotating part via a transfer head arranged at the opening at the front end of the case.

  Then, the user grips the case, and pulls backward while pressing the transfer head on the transfer surface such as a paper surface, so that the coating film applied on the transfer tape is pressed by the transfer head. It can be continuously transferred onto the transfer surface.

  When such a coating film transfer tool is used, it is important that the coating film is accurately transferred to a desired position on the paper surface, which is the transfer surface. However, in the above-described conventional coating film transfer tool, when the transfer head is brought close to a transfer surface such as a paper surface, the transfer head itself becomes an obstacle, and the user can visually recognize the transfer target portion. However, the problem that the coating film is transferred to a portion shifted from a desired transfer position frequently occurs.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, the entire transfer head is made of a transparent resin so that the transfer surface in contact with the transfer head can be seen through the transfer head (see Patent Document 1). In addition, in the configuration in which guide guides of the transfer tape are provided on the left and right of the transfer head, first and second windows are respectively formed in the guide guide and a part of the transfer head, and A configuration in which a transfer site can be observed through a window (see Patent Document 2) has been proposed.

  By the way, the structure of the transfer head disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is a relatively simple chip structure in which the tip portion is formed into a thin plate shape. By molding with the resin material, it is possible to see through the resin material through the surface to be transferred with which the transfer head contacts.

  However, in recent years, a roller member is rotatably provided at the front end portion of the transfer head, and the roller member is rolled on the surface to be transferred, thereby providing a coating film transfer tool having excellent usability. In particular, when the coating film to be transferred is an adhesive such as glue, it is desirable to employ a roller member at the tip of the transfer head, and this kind of so-called tape glue is applied. A roller member is frequently used for the film transfer tool.

  Therefore, it can be recalled that the entire transfer head having the roller member rotatably attached thereto is formed of a transparent material as disclosed in Patent Document 1, but a thin plate-like transfer as disclosed in Patent Document 1 Even if the application example to the head is adopted as it is for a transfer head in which the roller member is rotatably arranged, the same effect cannot be expected.

  That is, the holder member that rotatably holds the roller member needs a certain mechanical thickness in order to compensate for mechanical strength, and even if a transparent resin material is used, It is almost impossible to configure such that the position immediately before the surface on which the roller member rolls can be observed through. Therefore, in the configuration of the transfer head including the roller member, there is a limit to adopting the means for seeing through using the transparent material as described above.

  On the other hand, the transfer head disclosed in Patent Document 2 also has a chip configuration in which the tip is formed into a thin plate shape. Therefore, it is difficult to adopt the configuration shown in Patent Document 2 as it is for the configuration of a transfer head including a roller member.

  That is, even if the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 2 can be adopted as the configuration of the transfer head provided with the roller member, the transfer is performed from the upper side of the transfer head through the first and second windows. In the configuration in which the portion is observed, the central portion of the transfer tape cannot be observed, and therefore, the problem of inconvenience of transferring the coating film to a position shifted from the center of the desired transfer portion remains. .

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the coating film transfer tool provided with the transfer head using the roller member as described above, and the central portion of the immediately preceding position on the transfer surface on which the roller member rolls is clearly shown. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coating film transfer tool that can accurately and efficiently execute a coating film transfer operation at a desired position on a transfer surface. is there.

  The coating film transfer tool according to the present invention, which has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, is accommodated in a hollow case having an opening, and a transfer tape unwinding rotary part and a used tape winding rotary part. And the transfer tape unwound from the unwinding rotary part is configured to be wound around the winding rotary part via a transfer head including a roller member installed in the opening, and A coating film transfer tool configured to transfer a coating film from the transfer tape to the transfer surface by rolling the roller member onto the transfer surface, and the transfer head includes A roller member and a holder member formed in a bifurcated shape that rotatably supports both end portions in the axial direction of the roller member on both leg portions, and the transfer head includes the holder member. A window-like space portion surrounded by four sides is formed by the both leg portions of the member, a holder central portion that integrally couples the both leg portions, and a roller surface of the roller member that faces the holder central portion, The present invention is characterized in that the position immediately before the surface on which the roller member rolls can be observed through the window-shaped space.

  In this case, it is preferable that the roller member is configured to be color-coded in the axial direction in a first region corresponding to a tape width with which the tape contacts and a second region outside the first region.

  Further, as another preferred embodiment, planes opposed to each other in a parallel state with a spacing substantially equal to the tape width of the used tape on the transfer path of the used tape transferred from the roller member toward the take-up rotating portion. A guide member having a portion is formed on the holder member, and each of the opposed flat portions of the guide member is configured to face the window-shaped space portion, and the opposed flat portion is formed of the roller member. There may be a case in which each of them extends in a direction directly above.

  Furthermore, in addition to the above-described configuration, as another preferred embodiment, the roller member may be formed of a permeable material.

  According to the coating film transfer tool having the above-described configuration, both the leg portions of the holder member constituting the transfer head, the holder central portion formed integrally with the both leg portions, and the roller surface of the roller member facing the holder central portion, In this configuration, a window-like space part surrounded by four sides is formed, and through this window-like space part, the immediately preceding position on the transfer surface on which the roller member rolls is observed. Can do.

  Therefore, it is possible to clearly observe the position immediately before the surface on which the roller member rolls, particularly the central portion of the position immediately before. As a result, the coating film can be transferred accurately and efficiently to a desired position on the transfer surface.

  Moreover, even if the said tape base material is a state which is hard to be clearly visually recognized with a transparent raw material by comprising the said roller member by color-coding with the part corresponding to the tape width | variety which the said tape contacts, and its outer part. By observing the color-coded roller members, it is possible to easily grasp the transfer target position of the coating film on the transfer surface.

  Further, as described above, the guide member is provided with the flat portions facing each other, and the opposing flat portions are respectively extended toward the direction directly above the roller member, so that the tape base material is similarly provided. Even if it is a transparent material, the position where the coating film is transferred onto the transfer surface can be easily predicted from the positional relationship between the window-shaped space and the flat surface facing the space.

  In addition to this, by forming the roller member with a permeable material, in addition to the window-shaped space, the observation range on the transfer surface can be further expanded, and the coating film transfer can be positioned. It can contribute to making it easier.

  Hereinafter, the coating film transfer tool according to the present invention will be described based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. In the following description, a coating film transfer tool called a tape glue that uses a transfer tape in which a pressure-sensitive adhesive (glue) is applied in a thin film on the surface of a tape base material made of a transparent material will be described as an example. .

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing a part of the entire configuration of the coating film transfer tool in a see-through state.

By pulling backward while pressing, the coating film (glue) applied on the transfer tape can be continuously transferred onto the transfer surface by the pressure contact action of the transfer head 9.

  In this case, the transfer tape T1 is unwound from the unwinding rotating portion 5 by the rolling of the roller member. As the transfer tape T1 is fed out, the unwinding rotating unit 5 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 1, and the winding rotating unit 6 is also rotated in the same direction via the transmission belt 10. Therefore, the used tape T <b> 2 that has passed through the transfer head 9 is taken up by the take-up rotating unit 6.

  At this time, the take-up rotator 6 acts on the unwind rotator 5 such that the rotation speed is increased by the difference in pulley diameter. A tension is applied to the used tape T2 while sliding between the pulleys and the transmission belt 10, so that the winding rotary unit 6 can wind up the used tape T2 without slack.
