Description

  The present invention relates to a transfer tool capable of transferring a transfer product of an adhesive or a correction agent to paper or the like.

  Conventionally, various transfer tools that can transfer a transfer material such as a correction agent or an adhesive applied to a tape to an object such as paper have been proposed.

  In these devices, the transfer product is transferred from the tape supported at the tip of the transfer head by pressing the transfer head against the object while holding the transfer tool body by hand. Among these, for example, at the tip of the transfer head, the transfer head applied to the tape can be reliably transferred to the object over the entire width of the tape, and the head is in a predetermined range with respect to the transfer tool body. In which the tip of the transfer head can turn with respect to the transfer tool body within a certain range from a predetermined neutral position, and so-called swinging operation can be performed. An adopted one has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Such a swinging operation prevents the transferred material from being transferred in an accurate shape due to a finger displacement or a fine movement at the start of the transfer or during the transfer operation, specifically in a range narrower than the width dimension of the tape. The problem that the transferred material cannot be transferred can be avoided.

On the other hand, it has been proposed that a part of the transfer head attached to the transfer tool body is elastically deformed so that the tip of the transfer head can move within the range of elastic deformation relative to the transfer tool body. Even in such a configuration, the above-described finger displacement and fine movement can be allowed within the above-described elastic deformation range.
JP 2003-2522 A JP 2006-281495 A

  However, if the head can be swung as described in Patent Document 1, the transfer head may move from a predetermined neutral position as it is after the transfer tool has been used once. In some cases, the tape is partially slackened at the end of the transfer head. If the transfer is attempted again in such a state that the tape is partially slack, the slack becomes large, and a state in which the transfer product is not easily transferred in an accurate shape is likely to occur. . Further, the slack spreads to the inside of the transfer tool main body according to the movement of the tape, and the tape winding operation and the interlocking between the winding operation and the feeding operation cannot be performed easily.

  On the other hand, in the device described in Patent Document 2, the tip of the operated transfer head can self-reset by elastic repulsion, but the tip of the transfer head cannot move within the range of elastic deformation. It has become a thing. For this reason, it is not possible to sufficiently allow the above-described movement of the finger as compared with the one that performs the swing motion. In addition, in order to use the elastic deformation so that the transfer head can be operated until the finger movement is sufficiently allowed, the size of the portion that is fixed to the transfer tool main body and elastically deforms is increased. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the transfer head is greatly limited.

  The present invention pays attention to such a problem, and provides a transfer tool that does not impair the accuracy of transfer while preventing the tape from slacking even if it has a transfer head capable of swinging.

  In order to achieve such an object, the present invention takes the following measures. That is, the transfer tool according to the present invention is provided between a support member and a swing member that can swing with respect to the support member, and a neutral return mechanism for self-returning the swing member to a neutral position. A neutral return mechanism having an elastic body provided on one of the two members, and a pressure receiving surface provided on the other and at least two points spaced apart from each other. And when the contact pressure at the two points is different due to the swing motion of the swing member relative to the support member, an elastic biasing force in a direction to eliminate the difference is accumulated in the elastic body. It is premised on what has been configured. The support member is a transfer tool body, and the swinging member is a transfer head. Alternatively, the transfer head includes a head main body and a head mounting portion for mounting the head main body to the transfer tool main body, the support member is the head mounting portion, and the swinging member is the head main body. It is characterized by this.

  In such a case, the swinging member can be accurately moved to the neutral position by using the elastic repulsive force accumulated at any one of the two points on the elastic body so as to cancel it toward the other. It is possible to return to By doing so, when the transfer tool is not used, the tape is always supported at the neutral position by the transfer head, and transfer at the start of transfer can be performed accurately. Further, it is possible to suppress loosening and displacement of the tape due to the transfer head being supported at a position other than the neutral position when the tape is not used. Furthermore, the aspect which utilizes the deformation | transformation of the shape of elastic body itself by employ | adopting the structure utilized so that the elastic repulsion force accumulate | stored in either one of two points in an elastic body may be canceled toward the other Compared to the above, since a compact elastic body can be accurately and sufficiently elastically repelled to the neutral position, the degree of freedom of design is limited, including that the transfer head can be made compact. Can be effectively avoided. That is, if such a configuration is used, the present invention can be suitably applied to the swinging operation of the transfer head using the neutral return mechanism as the transfer tool body, and also to the head body with respect to the head mounting portion of the transfer head.

  In order to make the neutral return mechanism compact, it is desirable that the elastic body be a single protrusion.

When the user applies the transfer tool to the object, the tip of the transfer head can swing the swinging member with respect to the support member so that the entire width of the tape can easily come into contact with the object. It is desirable to do.
And it is preferable to set it as the structure which contacts a pressure receiving surface by the twist operation | movement of a single protrusion as a suitable structure of an elastic body which can respond to turning operation | movement.

  In order to make it easier for the tape to come into contact with the object by the swiveling operation of the swinging member, it is preferable that the swiveling operation is a twisting operation in the direction about the extending direction of the tape from the transfer head.

  In order to ensure that the support member can support the swing member, it is preferable that an elastic body is provided on the swing member and a pressure receiving surface is provided on the support member.

  On the other hand, as a configuration for positioning the swinging member at the neutral position more accurately by the neutral return mechanism, the neutral return mechanism having a plurality of elastic bodies can be exemplified.

  In order to accurately return itself to the neutral position, it is only necessary that any one of the plurality of elastic bodies can accumulate an elastic repulsion force in the direction of movement of the other elastic bodies.

  In addition, as a configuration for effectively allowing a movement such as a slight shake of a finger during a transfer operation by a user, a configuration in which the swinging member can move in a pendulum manner with respect to the support member can be cited.

  In order to accurately set the operating range of the swinging member, it is desirable to provide a plurality of elastic bodies at both ends of the operating region of the swinging member.

  In particular, in order to more effectively allow the finger movement during the transfer operation to realize accurate transfer, the swinging member is moved in a pendulum shape along the surface direction of the tape extending from the tip of the transfer head. It should be possible.

  In order to provide the swing member more compactly, it is desirable to provide an elastic body on the support member and provide a pressure receiving surface on the swing member.

  As a desirable mode of the elastic body, an elastic body made of a resin can be used.

  In particular, by applying the present invention to a transfer agent that can transfer a correction agent that requires more accuracy with respect to the transfer location, the tape cannot be transferred accurately to a desired position because the tape slack and head orientation are not neutral. Effectively avoid such problems.

  Further, generally, the friction applied to the tape by the turning mechanism tends to be large. Therefore, the transfer tool main body is rotated by a predetermined angle from the surface direction of the tape from which the tape stored in the transfer tool main body is pulled out. By adopting the present invention in a transfer tool such as a horizontal pulling type that has a turning mechanism capable of guiding to the transfer head, the tape is loosened when the tape is transferred through the turning mechanism. It is possible to effectively eliminate the anxiety factor that it is easy to cause

  According to the present invention, by accurately returning the swinging member to the neutral position, the tape is always supported by the transfer head at the neutral position when the transfer tool is not used, and the transfer at the start of the transfer can be accurately performed. Since it can be performed, it is possible to suppress the slack and deviation of the tape. Furthermore, the aspect which utilizes the deformation | transformation of the shape of elastic body itself by employ | adopting the structure utilized so that the elastic repulsion force accumulate | stored in either one of two points in an elastic body may be canceled toward the other Compared to the above, even a compact elastic body can accurately and sufficiently elastically repel the neutral position. Therefore, if such a configuration is used, the neck of the transfer head having the neutral return mechanism as the transfer tool body can be used. The present invention can be suitably applied to a swing operation and a head main body with respect to a head mounting portion in a transfer head.

<First embodiment>
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the transfer tool 1 according to the present embodiment is for transferring a transfer product detachably attached to one surface of a tape T onto a transfer target surface such as a paper surface. The transfer tool 1 according to the present embodiment includes a so-called correction tape that can transfer a correction agent as a transfer product. The transfer tool 1 includes a transfer tool body 2 and a transfer head 3 attached to the transfer tool body 2. 1 to 3, the head cap HC that can cover the tape T and the transfer head 3 is shown as a transparent body.

  The transfer tool body 2 includes a first half case 21 and a second half case 22 having a half structure, and the half cases 21 and 22 are assembled in a detachable manner. In the present embodiment, the first half case 21 is provided with a reel, a take-up reel, and a reel transmission mechanism (for example, a take-up reel) for transmitting the rotation of the take-up reel to the take-up reel. And a belt) stretched between the reel and the supply reel. The transfer tool 1 is called a so-called refill exchange type or cartridge exchange type which can be used again by exchanging only the first half case 21 when the first half case 21 is used up. The invention is not limited to the refill exchange type, and may be applied to a so-called single use type.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the transfer head 3 includes a head main body 31 that guides the tape T to be folded back at the leading edge 31 </ b> T, and a head attachment portion 32 for attaching the head main body 31 to the transfer tool main body 2. It is provided. The head main body 31 and the head mounting portion 32 are each made of resin.

  The head mounting portion 32 has a head main body support portion 328 that supports the head main body 31 so as to be able to swing the pendulum. In the same embodiment, the description thereof is omitted, and a second embodiment described later. It shall be described in detail in the form.

  In the present embodiment, the transfer tool main body 2 and the transfer head 3 make the tape attached in a state where the head mounting portion 32 is in a neutral position described later from the surface direction of the tape from which the tape stored in the transfer tool main body 2 is pulled out. The so-called “lateral pulling type” transfer tool 1 is formed by configuring a turning mechanism that can be turned to approximately 90 degrees and guided to the transfer head 3.

  Here, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the transfer tool body 2 is set as the “support member” in the present invention, and the transfer head 3 is set in the “swing member” in the present invention. In addition to the above-described turning mechanism, the transfer head 3 that is a swinging member can be turned to turn the tape within a predetermined angle range with respect to the transfer tool body 2 that is a support member. In other words, the transfer tool 1 can be guided to the transfer head 3 by turning the tape 90 ° ± predetermined angle from the surface direction of the tape from which the tape stored in the transfer tool body 2 is drawn. Yes. In addition, a neutral return mechanism N1 for self-returning the transfer head 3, which is a swinging member, to the neutral position (n1) is provided.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the neutral return mechanism N1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 shows a cross-sectional view corresponding to line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view corresponding to line BB in FIG. 6 and 7 are explanatory diagrams of the operation corresponding to FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the neutral return mechanism N1 is for self-returning the swinging member to the neutral position (n1), and includes a head support portion 210 in the transfer tool main body 2 as a support member, It is comprised by the supported part 320 provided in the head attaching part 32 which is a head swing member.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the head support portion 210 is protruded in parallel with each other along the width direction of the tape T from the standing wall positioned at one end of the first half case 21 in the transfer tool main body 21. It mainly has a first support column 211 and a second support column 214.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the first support column 211 forms a pressure receiving recess 212 on one surface, thereby positioning an elastic protrusion 324, which will be described later, on the pressure receiving surface 213 that is the bottom surface of the pressure receiving recess 212. As a result, the transfer head can be positioned in the width direction of the tape T. And in the back surface side of the pressure receiving recessed part 212, it is in contact with the support ridge 323a of the column insertion part 321 mentioned later. That is, the first support column 211 supports the transfer head 3 by being sandwiched between the elastic protrusion 324 and the support ridge 323a.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the second support column 214 is located on the base end side of the transfer head 3, and the vicinity of the tip is a support surface 215 that contacts a turning guide surface 327 described later. A smooth turning motion can be secured together with the first support column 211.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the supported portion 320 includes a column insertion portion 321 that inserts the first support column 211 and an elastic protrusion 324 that presses the first support column 211. And a turning guide portion 326 in contact with the second support column 214 on the most proximal side of the transfer head 3.

  As shown in cross section in FIGS. 5, 6, and 7, the column insertion part 321 has a large opening dimension from the center in the width direction toward both ends so as to allow the transfer head 3 to rotate. Specifically, the lower side of the figure is a lower tapered wall 323 that is raised in a mountain shape, and both sides of the elastic protrusion 324 are an upper tapered wall 322 that is formed in a V shape. The center of the lower taper wall 323 is a support ridge 323 a that contacts the first support column 211.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the elastic protrusion 324 is interposed between the upper tapered walls 322 and provided at a position facing the support ridge 323 a from the base end side to the tip end of the transfer head 3. A single protrusion that extends. Specifically, the elastic protrusion 324 is formed by cutting out a part of the head mounting portion 32 in a U-shape, and the resin material constituting the head mounting portion 32 originally has as described above. It can be elastically deformed by elasticity. Then, the surface of the elastic projection 324 that contacts the pressure receiving surface 213 is a pressing surface 325, and two points on the pressing surface 325 are two points where the contact pressures in the present invention are different, and the first pressure sensing point 325a and the second pressure sensing. Point 325b.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the turning guide portion 326 is in a substantially partial cylindrical shape that can turn the transfer head 3 itself so as to be turnable by contacting the second support column 214 on the most proximal side of the transfer head 3. This is a protrusion having a turning guide surface 327. The turning guide surface 327 is in sliding contact with the second support column 214 when the transfer head 3 is turned, thereby ensuring a smooth turning operation of the transfer head 3.

  Here, to be exact, the transfer head 3 performs a turning operation around the support ridge 323a and the turning guide portion 326. In particular, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the transfer head 3 is described later by supporting the transfer head 3 so as to be pivotable at two locations along the longitudinal direction of the transfer head 3 by the head support portion 210. The center of rotation of the transfer head 3 during the turning operation can be effectively suppressed.

  Thus, in the transfer tool 1 according to the present embodiment, the neutral return mechanism N1 includes the elastic protrusion 324 as an elastic body and the pressure receiving surface 213 with which the elastic protrusion 324 contacts at least two points apart from each other, and the swinging operation is performed. When a difference occurs in the contact pressure at the two points due to the turning operation, the elastic protrusion 324 as the elastic body is configured to accumulate an elastic biasing force in a direction to eliminate the difference. Is.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, a specific operation related to the neutral return mechanism N1 will be described.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the transfer head 3 is in the neutral position (n1). In this state, there is no difference in the contact pressure between the pressure-receiving surface 213 and the first pressure-sensitive point 325a and the second pressure-sensitive point 325b of the pressing surface 325 in contact with the pressure-receiving surface 213. Yes.

  FIG. 6 shows a state in which the transfer head 3 is turned in one direction from the neutral position (n1). Here, the elastic body does not change from the neutral position (n1) even when the transfer head 3 rotates, so that the pressing surface 325 is in contact with the pressure receiving surface 213. The components are relatively twisted in the direction about the direction in which the tape T extends from the transfer head 3 as an axis. The twisting operation causes a difference in contact pressure between the first pressure-sensitive point 325a and the second pressure-sensitive point 325b of the pressing surface 325, specifically, between the second pressure-sensitive point 325b and the pressure-receiving surface 213. The contact pressure that occurs is higher than the contact pressure that occurs between the pressure-receiving surface 213 and the first pressure-sensitive point 325a. Therefore, the elastic protrusion 324 is provided with elasticity in such a direction that the contact pressure generated between the second pressure sensing point 325b and the pressure receiving surface 213 is lower than the contact pressure generated between the pressure receiving surface 213 and the first pressure sensing point 325a. It will accumulate power.

  On the other hand, FIG. 7 shows a state in which the transfer head 3 is turned in the other direction from the neutral position (n1). Here, the elastic protrusion 324 is in a state in which a twisting operation in the direction opposite to that in FIG. The twisting operation causes a difference in contact pressure between the second pressure sensitive point 325b and the first pressure sensitive point 325a of the pressing surface 325, specifically, between the first pressure sensitive point 325a and the pressure receiving surface 213. The contact pressure that occurs is higher than the contact pressure that occurs between the pressure-receiving surface 213 and the second pressure-sensitive point 325b. Therefore, the elastic protrusion 324 is provided with elasticity in a direction in which the contact pressure generated between the first pressure sensitive point 325a and the pressure receiving surface 213 is lower than the contact pressure generated between the pressure receiving surface 213 and the second pressure sensitive point 325b. It will accumulate power.

  In this way, when the turning movement of the transfer head 3 is released, the transfer head 3 in the state shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is preferably each in the neutral position (shown in FIG. n1) Return to self.

  By adopting the above-described configuration, the transfer tool 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention employs the neutral return mechanism N1 as described above, and therefore, of the two points on the elastic protrusion 324 that is an elastic body. By using the elastic repulsive force accumulated at any one of these points so as to cancel it toward the other, the transfer head 3 as the swinging member can be accurately returned to the neutral position (n1). Yes. By doing so, the tape T is always supported by the transfer head 3 at the neutral position (n1) when the transfer tool 1 is not used, and transfer at the start of transfer can be performed accurately. Further, when the tape T is not used, it is possible to prevent the tape T from being loosened or displaced due to being supported at a position other than the neutral position (n1). Further, by adopting a configuration in which the elastic repulsive force accumulated at any one of the two points in the elastic protrusion 324 is canceled toward the other, the deformation of the entire shape of the transfer head 3 is utilized. Compared to the embodiment, the design can be made compact, including that the transfer head 3 can be configured compactly because it can be elastically repelled to the neutral position (n1) accurately and sufficiently. It is possible to effectively avoid the restriction of the degree.

  Further, in order to make the transfer head 3 more compact, an elastic time 324 that is a single protrusion is adopted as an elastic body.

  In this embodiment, when the user applies the transfer tool 1 to the object, the front end of the transfer head 3 makes it easy for the entire width of the tape T to come into contact with the object. The configuration is operable, and the neutral return mechanism N1 is applied to such a configuration. Further, since the neutral return mechanism N1 can suitably cope with the turning operation, it is configured to contact the pressure receiving surface 213 by the twisting operation of the elastic protrusion 324.

  In order to make the tape T more easily come into contact with the object by the swinging motion of the swinging member, it is preferable that the swinging motion is a twisting motion in the direction about the extending direction of the tape T from the transfer head 3. .

  In this embodiment, it is assumed that the pressure receiving surface 213 is provided on the transfer tool body 2 side, and the transfer tool body 2 can reliably support the transfer head 3.

  Furthermore, the slack of the tape T and the orientation of the transfer head 3 are not in the neutral position by applying the configuration of the present invention to the transfer tool 1 that can transfer a correction agent that requires more accuracy with respect to the portion to which the transferred product is transferred. For this reason, it is possible to effectively avoid the problem that the transfer cannot be accurately performed at a desired position.

In particular, the horizontal pull type transfer tool 1 tends to have a larger friction on the tape T than the vertical pull type that guides the head without turning the tape. By adopting the present invention in such a horizontal pulling type transfer tool 1, when the tape T is transported via a turning mechanism, the tape T is easily wrinkled due to the slack of the tape T. It has become possible to eliminate specific anxiety factors effectively.
<Modification>
As a modification of the present embodiment, a neutral return mechanism N1A as shown in FIG. 8 may be used. In this modification, the basic configuration of the head support unit 210 and the like is the same as that of the above embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted. For components unique to the present embodiment, “A” is added to the end of the reference numerals attached to the components of the corresponding embodiment.

The transfer head 3 shown in the figure is provided so that an elastic protrusion 324A, which is a single protrusion, is in contact with a pressure receiving surface 213A provided on the second support column 214 on the base end side, and is tapered on both sides of the elastic protrusion 324A. A wall 322A is provided to determine the operation end of the turning operation. That is, in comparison with the above embodiment, by omitting the configuration of the turning guide portion 326, the column insertion portion 321, the lower taper wall 323, and the support ridge 323a, the same operation as the above embodiment can be realized with a simple configuration. It has become a thing.
<Second embodiment>
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the present embodiment, a neutral return mechanism N2 that is different from the first embodiment will be described. The present embodiment relates to the same transfer tool 1 as the first embodiment. Therefore, the same components as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the head main body 31 functions as the “oscillation member” of the present invention, and the head mounting portion 32 functions as the “support member” of the present invention. Specifically, with respect to a structure in which the head main body 31 slides along a pendulum-like swinging motion in the width direction of the tape T, that is, the surface direction with respect to the head mounting portion 32, in other words, along a circular arc-shaped locus. The neutral return mechanism N2 according to the present invention is applied.

  Below, the neutral return mechanism N2 which concerns on this embodiment is explained in full detail.

  As described above, the neutral return mechanism N2 includes the head body 31 and the head mounting portion 32.

  As shown in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, the head main body 31 extends upward from a main body 311 that guides the tape T before folding, and a central portion in the width direction on the base end side of the main body 311. When the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 is pressed against the transfer target surface, a pressing portion 312 that can press the head mounting portion 32, and further extends upward from the pressing portion 312 and prevents dropping from the head mounting portion 32. And a retaining portion 313 to be removed. 10 shows a state in which the transfer head 3 is held in a standard transfer posture, specifically, a state in which the transfer head 3 is held in a posture inclined at a predetermined angle (for example, approximately 45 degrees) with respect to a transfer target surface such as a paper surface. It is shown.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, the head attachment portion 32 includes a head body support portion 328 that supports the head body 31 in addition to the supported portion 320 described in detail in the above embodiment. It is provided.

  Thus, in the neutral return mechanism N2 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, the head main body 31 has its axial direction 31A substantially aligned with the axial direction 32A of the head mounting portion 32. A neutral position (N) and a first swing position (S1) and a second swing position (S2) rotated clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to the head mounting portion 32 from the neutral position (N). It can swing between them. The head main body 31 capable of swinging with respect to the head mounting portion 32 is for self-returning to the neutral position (N). 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 12, 13 and 14, the neutral return mechanism N2 according to the present embodiment is configured such that when the head main body 31 is positioned at the neutral position (n2), 2 on the pressure receiving surface of the head main body 31. Biasing force that has pressing surfaces 41a and 41b that are in contact with or close to the side edges 31a and 31b, which are points, and that is pressed by the head body 31 and returns to the neutral position (n2) when the head body 31 swings. The elastic deformation part 41 which is an elastic body which elastically deforms while accumulating is provided. In the present embodiment, the elastic deformation portion 41 is formed integrally with the head mounting portion 32. The lower end portion of each elastic deformation portion 41 is a free end, and when the head main body 31 is in the neutral position (n2), the head main body 31 can come into contact with or be close to the lower end portion of the elastic deformation portion 41. It is set as follows.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when the neutral return mechanism N2 causes a difference in the contact pressure between the side edges 31a and 31b, which are two points in the head body 31 that can contact the pair of elastic deformation portions 41, the elastic deformation portion 41. The elastic urging force in a direction to eliminate the difference is accumulated. Hereinafter, an operation in which the head main body 31 self-returns to the neutral position (n2) by the neutral return mechanism N2 will be described in detail.

  When the head body 31 rotates from the neutral position (n2) shown in FIG. 11 to the first swing position (S1) shown in FIG. 13 or the second swing position (S2) shown in FIG. The elastic deformation portion 41 is elastically deformed while accumulating an urging force that is pressed by the head main body 31 and returns to the neutral position (n2). At this time, a difference occurs in the contact pressure between the pressing surface 41a and the side edge 31a and the pressing surface 41b and the side edge 31b. When the leading edge 31T of the head body 31 is separated from the transfer target surface, the elastic deformation portion 41 moves toward the other elastic deformation portion 41 accumulated while elastically returning to eliminate the difference in the contact pressure. The head body 31 is pushed back to the neutral position (n2) by the elastic repulsive force. In this embodiment, when the head main body 31 is rotated from the neutral position (n2) to the first swing position (S1) or the second swing position (S2), the main body 311 is elastically deformed 41. Further, the head main body 31 is restricted from rotating in the same direction by hitting the head main body support 328 in the head mounting portion 32.

  With the configuration as described above, the transfer tool 1 according to the present embodiment includes the neutral return mechanism N2 described above, and thus any one of two points in the pair of elastic deformation portions 41 that are elastic bodies. By using the elastic repulsive force accumulated at one point so as to be canceled toward the other, the head main body 31 as the swinging member can be accurately returned to the neutral position (n2). By doing so, when the transfer tool 1 is not used, the tape T is always supported by the transfer head at the neutral position (n2), and transfer at the start of transfer can be performed accurately. Further, when the tape T is not used, it is possible to prevent the tape T from being loosened or displaced due to the transfer head being supported at a position other than the neutral position (n2).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the neutral return mechanism N2 has a plurality of elastic deformation portions 41, and the head body 31 can be positioned more accurately at the neutral position (n2). Specifically, it is assumed that one elastic deformation portion 41 of the pair of elastic deformation portions 41 can accumulate an elastic repulsion force in the operation direction to the other elastic deformation portion 41, and accurately to the neutral position (n2). It is supposed to be able to return itself.
