Description

  The present invention relates to a transfer tool that can transfer a transfer product of an adhesive or a correction agent onto paper or the like, and more specifically, to a refill exchange type transfer tool that can repeatedly fill a transfer product by replacing the refill.

  Conventionally, various refill-exchange-type transfer tools have been proposed that can refill a transferred material by exchanging the refill.

  In such a case, the transfer tool is constituted by a pair of half case parts, specifically, a half case part on the refill side that functions as a refill, and a half case part on the main body side that supports the half case part on the refill side. It has been made. And when attaching the half case part on the refill side to the half case part on the main body side, the two half case parts are in a state of facing each other, and while confirming the positions of the corresponding engagement points, they are straightened to each other. In general, an approaching operation is performed (see, for example, FIG. 5 in Patent Document 1). Here, in the present specification, this operation is referred to as “superposition operation”.

On the other hand, when the refill is exchanged, the disengagement operation is first performed. At this time, the operation opposite to the above-described “overlap operation” is performed. That is, an operation of separating straight from the engaged state to the directly opposed state is performed.
JP 2001-96985 A

  However, in the case of such a transfer tool, it is easy for the user to understand during the overlapping operation and the work itself is simple. On the other hand, when releasing the engagement, the transfer tool is made to face up from the engaged state. When trying to move straight away to the state, a complicated structure for releasing each engagement point at once, for example, "stacking operation" such as disengaging a plurality of engagement points simultaneously using both hands Compared to the above, a remarkably complicated operation is required.

  The present invention pays attention to such inconveniences, and the user can replace the refill quickly and easily by separating the half case part on the main body side and the half case part on the refill side more easily. Provide a transfer tool.

  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 a transfer tool that can divide the case of the transfer tool main body into a pair of half-case parts, and when the two half-case parts are engaged, An engagement portion is provided that can release the engagement in a relative posture different from the relative posture of both half case portions.

  Here, in the present specification, the term “refill” is adopted as a term indicating a side that can hold a transferred product and can be refilled / replaced. The term “cartridge”, “replaceable cartridge” "Or" refilling "is synonymous and can be replaced.

  If it is such, since it can cancel | release in the attitude | position different from the attitude | position at the time of engaging, it becomes possible to comprise the transfer tool which can replace | exchange a half case part easily. By doing so, it is possible to provide a transfer tool that can provide a suitable feeling of use by allowing the user to easily replace the refill.

  When replacing the refill, the two half case parts can be combined to make the user feel uncomfortable by using the same method as before, but when releasing, it can operate accurately and rotate. It is possible to provide a user with a simpler operation feeling by adopting a rotation operation that can be easily operated by a rotation operation that relatively rotates only by moving the distal end side.

  As a configuration capable of reliably engaging the half case portions, a plurality of engagement portions are provided, and a plurality of engagement portions are provided on one end side and the other end side of both half case portions. Can do.

  In order to effectively avoid the provision of a separate rotation center, at least one of the engagement portions is a rotation engagement portion having a rotation guide surface that can promote the rotation operation. desirable.

  Specifically, it is preferable that the rotation guide surface is formed in a partial arc shape and has a release guide surface that guides to release the engagement of the rotation engagement portion when rotating.

  And in order to be able to engage suitably also in the case of a stacking operation, it is desirable that the rotation engaging part further has a superposition guide surface capable of guiding the stacking operation.

  In particular, if a pair of rotation engaging portions are provided on both sides of the transfer head in a direction orthogonal to the rotation direction, a virtual rotation shaft is formed between the pair of rotation engaging portions. Therefore, a stable release operation can be performed.

On the other hand, in order to perform a simpler releasing operation, it is desirable that the other end side engaging portion positioned in addition to the rotating engaging portion is a single engaging portion.
It will be a thing.

  In particular, in order to make the other end side engaging portion easily releasable, the other end side engaging portion can be released from the engagement claw and the engagement claw from outside. It is desirable to have an operation unit. In order to ensure engagement by the other end side engaging portion, the other end side engaging portion and a claw pressing portion that presses the nail in a direction that strengthens the engagement of the engaging claw at the time of engagement are further provided. What is necessary is just to provide.

  In order to make the tape difficult to loosen even after repeated engagement and release, one half case part of the paired half case parts is provided with a tape holding mechanism for holding the tape, and the tape holding mechanism. What is necessary is just to attach the drive mechanism which can drive.

  In order to reduce the number of parts related to the driving mechanism, the tape holding mechanism includes a feeding reel that can feed out the tape and a take-up reel that can wind up the tape, and the driving mechanism includes the feeding reel and the winding reel. It is preferable to use a feeding pulley and a winding pulley provided coaxially with the take-up reel, and a belt provided over the feeding pulley and the take-up pulley. With such a configuration, for example, it is possible to effectively avoid the configuration of a special mechanism that holds the gear separately in the half case portion.

  And, the present invention can transfer the correction agent, and has a turning mechanism that can turn the tape by a predetermined angle from the surface direction of the tape on which the tape coated with the transfer is held and guide it to the transfer head. By adopting the transfer tool in such a mode that the tape is likely to be loosened when both half cases are engaged or disengaged, it is possible to provide a transfer tool that can be handled more appropriately.

  According to the present invention, since the posture can be released in a posture different from the posture at the time of engagement, it is possible to configure a transfer tool in which the half case portion can be easily replaced. By doing so, it is possible to provide a transfer tool that can provide a suitable feeling of use by allowing the user to easily replace the refill.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the transfer tool A according to the present embodiment is for transferring a transfer material applied to one side of a tape T so as to be peelable onto a transfer target surface such as a paper surface.

Yes. In this embodiment, the horizontal transfer type transfer is provided by providing a turning mechanism S that can turn the tape T about 90 degrees from the surface direction of the tape T held by the tape holding mechanism 4 and guide it to the transfer head H. It is assumed that the tool A is configured.

  The refill case 20 is provided with a rotation protrusion 21 constituting the rotation engagement portion Q on one end side in the vicinity of the transfer head H and the other end opposite to the position where the transfer head H is provided. On the side, a claw receiving portion 25 constituting the claw engaging portion R is provided.

  Here, the configuration of the claw engagement portion R and the rotation engagement portion Q in the transfer tool A according to the present embodiment will be specifically described.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the claw engaging portion R is constituted by the single claw body 15 and the claw pressing portion 18 on the main body case 10 side and the claw receiving portion 25 on the refill case 20 side as described above. It is what is done. The claw body 15 is formed integrally with the body case 10 and can be elastically deformed in a direction in which the claw body 15 contacts and separates from the claw receiving portion 25 on the refill case 20 side. The claw body 15 is engaged with a claw receiving hole 26 to be described later on the distal end side, protrudes on the proximal side from the engagement claw 16 and is exposed to the outside and pressed by an external force. A release operation portion 17 that can release the engagement between the engagement claw 16 and the claw receiving hole 26 is provided. The claw receiving portion 25 mainly includes a claw receiving hole 26 provided at a position corresponding to the claw receiving hole 26 of the claw body 15, and can be reliably engaged with the engaging claw 16. The claw pressing portion 18 protrudes from the vicinity of the claw body 15 toward the refill case 20 and is in an engaged state (E) in which the body case 10 and the refill case 20 are engaged as shown in FIG. The inside of 20 can be elastically biased.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5, the rotation engaging portion Q is provided as a pair so as to sandwich the transfer head H on one end side of the transfer tool main body A1 as described above. It is comprised by the fitting hole 11 provided in the case 10 side, and the rotation protrusion 21 provided in the refill case 20 side. The fitting hole 11 is a hole that penetrates the main body case 10 into a shape corresponding to the shape of the turning protrusion 21 in plan view so as to accommodate the turning protrusion 21 inside. That is, it has a plan view shape in which one of the short sides from the rectangle is arcuate, the arcuate end surface is the arcuate surface 12 which is the rotation guide surface of the present invention, the short side is the release end surface 13, One surface in the longitudinal direction is a polymerization end surface 14. The rotation protrusion 21 is a protrusion formed on the one end side of the refill case 20 so as to face the position sandwiching the transfer head H. The rotation protrusion 21 is a partial arc-shaped rotation sliding contact surface 22 which is a rotation guide surface of the present invention. The superposition guide surface 23 provided with the long side inclined is provided, and the release guide surface 24 provided with the short side inclined.

  Here, in this embodiment, the claw engagement portion R and the rotation engagement portion Q having such a configuration support the relative posture when the main body case 10 and the refill case 20 are brought into the engaged state (E). The body 1 and the refill 2 are superposed from the posture in which they face each other, and the relative posture at the time of release can be rotated relative to the other of the support 1 and the refill 2 with respect to the other. This is a rotating operation. Below, the operation | movement of the nail | claw engaging part R and the rotation engaging part Q which concern on an overlap operation | movement and rotation operation | movement is explained in full detail.

  In the claw engaging portion R, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the main body case 10 and the refill case 20 are engaged, the claw pressing portion 18 is provided before the engaging claw 16. By contacting the side, it is effectively avoided that an excessive impact is applied to the engaging claws 16. Further, by elastically energizing the main body case 10 and the refill case 20 in the engaged state, the contact pressure between the engagement claw 16 and the claw receiving hole 26 is increased and the engagement is ensured. In addition, when the release operation portion 17 is pressed, the main body case 10 and the refill case 20 can be smoothly and reliably separated by the elastic biasing force of the claw pressing portion 18.

  And in the rotation engaging part Q, when engaging the main body case 10 and the refill case 20 from the state of facing each other as shown in FIGS. 5 and FIG. 6A, since the overlapping guide surface 23 of the rotation protrusion 21 is an inclined surface, when it comes into contact with the end surface 10a of the main body case 10, the pair of rotation protrusions 21 come close to each other. When the refill case 20 is slightly elastically deformed or the main body case 10 is slightly elastically deformed, the refill case 20 can be smoothly overlapped with the main body case 10. When the main body case 10 and the refill case 20 are brought close to each other as they are, the overlapping guide surface 23 comes into contact with the overlapping end surface 14 of the fitting hole 11 as shown in FIG. Is in the engaged state (E) accommodated in the fitting hole 11.

  On the other hand, the rotation operation when releasing the engaged state (E) will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the engagement of the claw engaging portion R is released on the other end side, the rotation sliding contact surface 22 of the rotation protrusion 21 rotates along the arc surface 12. It will be in sliding contact. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, since the release guide surface 24 of the rotation protrusion 21 is an inclined surface, the refill case 20 is displaced from the position in contact with the release end surface 13 of the fitting hole 11 while being slightly elastically deformed. Will occur. As shown in FIG. 8C, when the rotation is further continued, the release guide surface 24 and the release end surface 13 are completely separated from each other, and the engagement between the fitting hole 11 and the rotation protrusion 21 is completely completed. Thus, the main body case 10 and the refill case 20 can be completely separated. Further, during the rotation operation, the rotation engagement portions Q are provided on the both sides of the transfer head H so as to face each other in a direction orthogonal to the rotation direction. Q not only guides the rotation operation but also plays a role of a rotation axis in the rotation operation, thereby realizing a smooth rotation operation. Of course, the rotation engaging part Q performs the operation of the reverse procedure of the operation for releasing the engagement state (E) as described above, and thereby causes the main body case 10 and the refill case 20 to be moved by the rotation operation. It is also possible to be in the engaged state (E).

  With the configuration as described above, the transfer tool A according to the present embodiment releases the relative posture when the support 1 and the refill 2 are brought into the engaged state (E) and the engaged state (E). By providing the rotation engagement portion Q and the claw engagement portion R as the engagement portions for changing the relative postures at this time, it is possible to configure the transfer tool A that facilitates replacement of the refill 2. . By doing so, it is possible to provide the transfer tool A that can provide a suitable feeling of use by allowing the user to easily replace the refill 2. Specifically, when replacing the refill 2, when the two half cases are combined, the same overlapping operation as before is performed so that the user does not feel uncomfortable, but when the release is performed, the operation is performed accurately. In addition, by adopting a rotation operation that can be easily operated by a rotation operation that relatively rotates only by moving the rotation tip side, a simpler operational feeling can be provided to the user. It has become.

  As a configuration in which both half case portions can be reliably engaged, a plurality of engagement portions are provided, and a rotation engagement portion Q and a claw engagement portion R are respectively provided at one end side and the other end side of both half case portions. By providing, the support body 1 and the refill 2 can be reliably engaged.

  In particular, by providing the rotation engaging portion Q, it is effectively avoided to separately provide a special configuration for rotating such as a hinge.

  Further, by providing the arcuate surface 12 as the partial arcuate rotation guide surface, the rotation sliding contact surface 22 and the release guide surface 24, the engagement can be preferably released while facilitating smooth rotation. It has become.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the rotation engaging portion Q is further provided with a superposition guide surface 23 that can guide the overlapping operation so that it can be suitably engaged also during the overlapping operation.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, a pair of opposed rotation members are arranged on both sides of the transfer head H in a direction orthogonal to the rotation direction, in other words, along the extending direction of the axis of the rotation shaft in the rotation operation. Since the joint portion Q is provided, a virtual rotation shaft can be formed between the pair of rotation engaging portions Q, and a stable releasing operation by rotation can be performed.

  In addition, in order to perform a simpler release operation, only a single claw engagement portion R is used in addition to the rotation engagement portion Q in the present embodiment. In particular, the claw engagement portion R, which is the other end side engagement portion, can be easily released, so that the claw engagement portion R is engaged with the engagement claw 16 and the engagement claw 16 from the outside. It is comprised by the cancellation | release operation part 17 which can cancel | release. And in order to ensure the engagement by the claw engagement portion R, the claw that presses the engagement claw 16 in the direction that strengthens the engagement of the engagement claw 16 with the claw engagement portion R in the engaged state (E). The pressing part 18 is further provided.

  In this embodiment, since the tape holding mechanism 4 that holds the tape T and the drive mechanism 5 that can drive the tape holding mechanism 4 are attached to the refill 2 side in advance, the engagement and the release are repeated. However, the tape T is not slackened when the drive mechanism 5 that can drive the tape holding mechanism 4 is brought into contact with or separated from the conventional refill exchange type transfer tool. And in order to reduce the number of parts related to the drive mechanism 5 on the refill 2 side and to appropriately attach it, the drive mechanism 5 is provided with a supply pulley 51 and a take-up pulley 52 provided coaxially with the supply reel 41 and the take-up reel 42. The belt 53 provided between the feeding pulley 51 and the take-up pulley 52 can effectively prevent the refill case 20 from being accompanied with a special mechanism or component that holds the gear separately. It becomes.

  In particular, by adopting the present invention in the transfer tool A in a mode for transferring a correction agent, which is a mode in which the tape T is likely to be loosened when parts are replaced, provision of the transfer tool A that can be handled more appropriately is realized. . Furthermore, if the tape T becomes slack when replacing parts, it is generally a cause of wrinkling or winding failure of the tape T in the horizontal pull type transfer tool compared to the vertical pull type in which the tape is not swiveled inside the transfer tool. Although it tends to be easy, by applying the present invention in which the tape T is not easily slackened when the refill 2 is replaced to the horizontal transfer type tool A having the turning mechanism S, the transfer tool that can be handled more suitably. The provision of A is realized.
