Description

  The present invention relates to a transfer tool, and more particularly to a transfer tool integrally provided with a cover of a transfer head.

By using a transfer tape in which a white coating film for concealment is laminated on one surface of a belt-like base tape, the transfer head is pressed against the transfer surface in a state where the transfer tape is wound around the transfer head. A transfer tool capable of transferring a film is widely used.
The transfer tool includes a case that accommodates a feeding core that supports the transfer tape so that the transfer tape can be drawn, and a winding core of the base tape, and a configuration in which the transfer head projects on the outer peripheral side of the case is employed. Yes.
Therefore, since the transfer head and the transfer tape wound around the transfer head are always exposed to the outside, a transfer tool including a transfer head cap is commercially available in case the transfer tool is not used.

Further, Patent Document 1 discloses a transfer tool including a housing that accommodates the transfer tool and can open the transfer head side when the transfer tool is used.
Utility Model Registration No. 3106294

However, in the transfer tool described in Patent Document 1, a cover is not provided on the transfer tool, but only a cover mechanism is carried on a housing that houses the transfer tool.
For this reason, there is no unity with the transfer tool, and in the state where only the transfer tool is removed from the housing, there is nothing to cover the transfer head, and in this case, it is hung around the transfer head. This causes a disadvantage that the transfer tape contacts an unintended location.

[Object of invention]
The present invention has been devised by paying attention to such inconveniences, and an object of the present invention is to provide a transfer head cover as needed by integrally providing a cover of the transfer head on the case side constituting the transfer tool. It is in providing the transfer tool which can cover.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a feeding core that is disposed in a case and supports a transfer tape provided with a coating film on a base tape so that the transfer tape can be fed, and a transfer head on which the transfer tape is wound around And a transfer tool comprising a winding core for winding the base tape, and a cover of the transfer head,
The cover is rotatably supported between a cover position that is supported in the vicinity of the transfer head and protects the upstream side in the transfer tape feeding direction with respect to the tip of the transfer head, and an open position along the outer periphery of the case. While being provided, the structure which is always urged | biased by the said open position side is taken.

  In the present invention, the cover is engaged with the case side so as to be positioned on the transfer head side to maintain the cover position, and the engagement is performed when the support shaft of the cover is operated in a predetermined axial direction. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which it is released and rotated to the open position on the opposite side of the transfer head.

  In addition, it is preferable that the cover includes an operation unit and is configured to rotate from the cover position to the open position by pressing the operation unit.

According to the present invention, the cover is rotatably provided between the position where the transfer head is covered and the open position near the transfer head. Can be set.
Further, since the cover covers the upstream side in the transfer tape feeding direction from the front end of the transfer head, it can be used as a cover only for a portion where the coating film needs to be protected. The shape can be made compact.
Furthermore, since the cover has a configuration in which the position along the outer periphery of the case is an open position, the presence of the cover does not get in the way when the cover is set to the open position.
Further, while the cover is in the cover position in a state where it is engaged with the case or the transfer head side, the cover can be released simply by operating the operation portion and operating the support shaft of the cover in a predetermined axial direction. The cover can be opened and closed easily and quickly.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the cover 17 includes a support shaft 86 and a cover portion 88 having a substantially square shape in plan view, which is connected in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the support shaft 86. . One end side of the support shaft 86, that is, the lower end side in FIG. 11A is formed as a tapered portion 86A, while the other end side is formed as a large-diameter operation portion 86B. The tapered portion 86A is received in a circular hole 71 formed in the surface of the leaf spring portion 65 of the first holder forming body 16A, while the operating portion 86B is an operating hole of the second holder forming body 16B. 82. As shown in FIG. 2, a coil spring 87 is attached to the outer periphery of the support shaft 86 of the cover 17, and one end of the coil spring 87 is engaged with the cover portion 88, while the other end is on the holder 16. It is designed to engage with the peripheral wall. The coil spring 87 normally biases the cover 17 so that the cover 17 takes an open position along the outer periphery of the holder 16 or the case 11.

  In the present embodiment, the position restricting member 18 is composed of a rod-like elastic member. As shown in FIG. 12, the position restricting member 18 includes an elongated plate-like linear portion 90, a curved portion 91 formed on one end side of the linear portion 90, and a corner provided on the other end side. Part 92. A circular hole 93 is formed in the corner portion 92, and the convex portion 67 formed in the first holder forming body 16 </ b> A fits in the hole 93, while the curved portion 91 has a first shape. Thus, the position restricting member 18 restricts the initial position of the holder 16 accommodated in the case 11.

  Next, an assembly method and transfer operation of the transfer tool 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the transfer tool 10 is assembled, the position restricting member 18 is arranged in the flat surface portion 22 of the first case 11A. As shown in FIG. 1, the position restricting member 18 is arranged in an inclined posture so that the curved portion 91 is in contact with the rib 25, while the corner portion is located obliquely lower left in the drawing. The Then, the feeding core 12 is mounted around the support cylinder 24.

On the other hand, the first head support shaft 63 of the first holder forming body 16A of the holder 16 is inserted into the support hole 55 of the transfer head 15, and the transfer head 15 is fixed. Then, the winding core 13 to which the tip of the transfer tape T is fixed in advance is set so that the upright cylinder 61 is positioned in the rotation center hole 48.
In a state where the mounting of the transfer head 15 and the winding core 13 is completed in this way, the second holder forming body 16B is assembled to the first holder forming body 16A. At this time, the tapered portion 86A of the support shaft 86 of the cover 17 is received in the circular hole 71 of the leaf spring portion 65, and the operation is performed in the operation hole 82 formed on the second holder forming body 16B side. Position part 86B. Then, the cylindrical portion 79 and the insertion shaft portion 80 of the second holder forming body 16B are fitted or abutted with the cylindrical portion 64 and the connecting cylinder 66 of the first holder forming body 16A. Assembling of the holder 16 is completed by fitting the peripheral walls partially formed on the outer periphery of the holder forming bodies 16A and 16B.

  Next, the transfer tape T wound in a roll shape is mounted on the outer peripheral side of the feeding core 12, and the holder 16 is mounted in the first case 11A. For this mounting, the cylindrical body 27 formed in the first case 11A is inserted into the cylindrical portion 64 and the cylindrical body 79 of the holder 16, and the convex portion 67 formed in the first holder forming body 16A is This is performed by fitting into a hole 93 formed in the corner portion 92 of the position regulating member 18, whereby the holder 16 is set at the initial position shown in FIG. 1.

  After the setting of the holder 16 is completed, the second case 11B may be combined with the first case 11A. In this combination, the fitting protrusion shaft 34 and the shaft 37 of the second case 11B are fitted to the support cylinder 24 and the connecting cylinder 28 of the first case 11A, and the peripheral walls of the first and second cases 11A and 11B. This is done by fitting 31 and 39 together. In a state in which the second case 11B is fitted to the first case 11A, the claw piece 50 provided on the winding core 13 is engaged with a ratchet mechanism 76 that meshes with a serrated tooth 76 formed on the inner surface side of the second case 11B. Thus, the winding core 13 is allowed to rotate only in the winding direction.

  When performing the transfer, it is only necessary to hold the case 11 and pull it while pressing the tip of the transfer head 15 against the surface to be transferred. In the transfer operation, at the initial stage of use of the transfer tape T, since the winding diameter of the transfer tape T on the feeding core 12 side is relatively larger than that on the winding core 13 side, the tension is maintained moderately and smoothly. The coating film can be transferred to the transfer surface.

As the consumption of the transfer tape T progresses and the transfer tape winding diameter on the feeding core 12 side becomes smaller,
Since a large force is required to pull out the transfer tape T, when the transfer head 15 is pressed against the surface to be transferred, the holder 16 is displaced toward the feeding core 12 along the transfer force applying direction, and the tension of the rubber belt B is increased. Relax. That is, the transfer head 15 is angularly displaced by receiving a reaction force along the direction in which the transfer force is applied. More specifically, the position restricting member 18 whose one end is engaged with the holder 16 is elastically deformed in the direction of bending at the linear portion 90, and the holder 16 rotates the rotation center shaft 26 about the rotation center 26. As shown in FIG. 13, it is rotated and displaced clockwise in FIG. At this time, at the same time that the winding core 13 approaches the feeding core 12 side, the transfer head 15 is also angularly displaced from the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 13 to the position indicated by the solid line, thereby relaxing the tension. As a result, the transfer tape T is smoothly fed and wound. Incidentally, although the rotation angle of the holder 16 in this embodiment is about 5 degrees, the angle is not particularly limited. When the coating film is transferred to the transfer surface, the coating film may be transferred by being dragged over a certain length from the tip of the transfer head 15 to the upstream side in the transfer tape feeding direction. In this case, when the next transfer is performed, the coating film does not exist at the tip of the transfer head 15 and the coating film cannot be transferred. Since the tension is relaxed by the displacement of the feeding core 12 and the winding of the transfer tape T is promoted, the coating film is fed so that it is positioned at the tip of the transfer head 15 and the transfer is performed each time. Can do.

  When the transfer is completed, the position restricting member 18 exhibits an elastic restoring force to return the holder 16 and the transfer head 15 supported by the holder 16 to the initial position to maintain the same position.

  When the transfer operation is not performed, the transfer head 15 is protected by a cover 17. In this case, the free end side of the cover 17 is picked with a fingertip, and is rotated in the direction of arrow a in FIG. When the cover 17 is rotated to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, that is, to the transfer head 15 side, the side edge of the cover portion 88 is placed on the step portion 84 side formed on the second holder forming body 16B. By moving to the position where the part is hooked, the cover 17 covers and protects the tip of the transfer head 15 and the upstream region of the transfer tape T in the feeding direction. At this time, immediately before the side end portion of the cover portion 88 is hooked on the step portion 84 side, the support shaft 86 of the cover 17 moves in the axial direction so that the tapered portion 86 faces the free end side of the leaf spring portion 65 outward. When the plate spring portion 65 is displaced by being pressed and is caught on the step portion 84, the leaf spring portion 65 is elastically restored, so that the side end portion of the cover portion 88 is kept on the step portion 84.

  On the other hand, when the protection of the transfer head 15 by the cover 17 is released, the fingertip may be applied to the operation portion 86B and pressed. As a result, when the leaf spring portion 65 is displaced by the tapered portion 86B, the axis of the support shaft 86 moves and the side end portion of the cover portion 88 moves in the opposite direction of the step portion 84, the coil spring 87 is attached. Due to the force, the cover 17 is resiliently returned to the initial open position on the opposite side of the transfer head 15.

  Therefore, according to such an embodiment, even if the feeding resistance increases due to a change in tension when the use of the transfer tape T is advanced, the winding core is caused by the rotational displacement of the transfer head 15 and the holder 16. 13 is configured to move closer to the feeding core 12 side, so that the tension can be relaxed and the transfer tape T can be smoothly fed out to transfer the coating film. Therefore, it is possible to provide a transfer tool suitable for use.

  Further, since the cover 17 is integrally provided, there is no possibility of losing the cover 17 and the transfer tape T can be protected as necessary. In addition, since the area to be protected is a portion of the transfer tape T on the upstream side in the feeding direction from the front end of the transfer head 15, that is, only the part where the protection is substantially required is protected, the component shape is compact and It can be formed simply. Further, when the cover 17 is in the open position, the cover 17 is maintained at a position substantially along the outer periphery of the case 11, so that there is no inconvenience that the presence of the cover 17 is in the way.

Although the best configuration, method and the like for carrying out the present invention have been disclosed in the above description, the present invention is not limited to this.
That is, the invention has been illustrated and described with particular reference to particular embodiments, but it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are not deviated from the technical idea and scope of the invention.
