Tape cutter with string

  The present invention relates to a tape cutter equipped with both a tape used when closing a lid and a string used when binding things, such as an envelope and a cardboard box, and is held with one hand even if the tape and the string are equipped. It has a structure that allows you to work with tape and string, and each work can be done with the finger of one hand. In addition, the combination of tape and string increases work efficiency and provides a combined convenience. Is related to the tape cutter.

Most conventional tape cutters have a function of simply attaching a tape and cutting the tape, but when working such as packing a package or bundling things, it is often used together with a string for packing. In general, tools such as tapes, strings, scissors, or cutter knives are often managed individually, and it is necessary to prepare each at the work place when working, and it takes time and effort to set up the work. It took.
In addition, these are often scattered at the time of work, and the efficiency of work becomes worse. In some cases, these tools are lost or accidents that mistakenly put tools into the package. Had occurred.

  Conventionally, when bundling packages using strings, when binding multiple items such as newspaper, cardboard, magazines, etc., hold the tip of the string with one hand and wrap the string so as not to break the stacked items. Those who were weak and hard-working, such as lifting a bundle, needed to reduce the amount of the bundle. Even after wrapping the string, it is difficult to fix the string, and it may take time and effort due to the failure of the binding. It was.

  However, although there are already devised tape cutters that combine this frequently used tape and string, in order to reduce the size of the main body, the space for storing the string is made up of the paper tube of the tape. By making it a part, there is no part to hold with one hand, and the ease of use that can be held with one hand, which is the goodness of a small tape cutter, is lost, if anything, tape and string, two tools one It was a stationary tape cutter.

  Also, for craft tape, cloth tape, vinyl tape, etc. used for temporarily affixing a lid such as a box, unpack the tool with a cutter knife etc. after transporting the box to the unpacking location. After the work, there was a trouble of cleaning up.

  And when opening the lid etc. of this box, use a tool such as a cutter knife, align the lid cut, and cut the center of the tape to unpack it, but in that case the sharp tip such as the cutter knife, There was an accident that occurred deeper than the gap between the lid of the box and the lid and damaged the product in the box.

  Also, in order to avoid using scissors or a cutter knife, it is necessary to develop and manufacture a special tape that makes it easier to unpack the tape, and a special tape that is pre-attached with a cutting string. The use of these special tapes also increases costs, and when used for other than unpacking work, it may be useless to use special tapes. Had occurred.

  Therefore, the present invention is a tape cutter used for craft tape, cloth tape, vinyl tape, etc. used for packing in the work using tape or string, and tapes vinyl string, paper string, hemp string, etc. used for packing etc. It is possible to hold it with one hand even if it is installed on the paper tube part of, and when using tape or string individually, for example, fixing when feeding and cutting the tape and sending and cutting the string For the work to be done, the structure that realizes the above work by the operation of the finger of the hand holding the tape cutter is provided with a holder part to put the hand in a position different from the paper tube part of the tape that is common in conventional tape cutters, It was necessary to realize.

  In addition, in a tape cutter equipped with tape and string, in order to be able to work with each tape and string with one hand, the work direction, the direction of feeding, and the cutting position can be made common to simplify and simplify the work. Reducing the burden on the operator and improving the ease of use. For that purpose, it is necessary to provide a feed guide in which the leading end of the cord is pulled out from the hole of the case from the bundle of cords stored in the paper tube portion of the tape, and changes the direction in the same direction as the feeding of the tape. The string sent in the same direction needs to have a structure in which the string is cut at the same location as the cutter for cutting the tape.

  The cutter that cuts the tape and the string has a structure that can be cut individually when the tape and the string are used individually. However, depending on the purpose of use, if you want to apply a tape to the string and cut only the attached tape, for example, when you use the strap temporarily, attach the tape to the string and cut only the tape. The purpose is a structure that can not cut the string.

  And, by realizing the function of the above tape cutter, it is possible to use the tape and the string at the same time. As an example of a possible effect, when binding many books such as magazines and newspapers, Rather than pressing with a finger, the end of the string is temporarily fixed with tape, and the work can be done easily as a binding aid for the string. The purpose is to make it easy to tie up.

  And as a further purpose of using the above tape cutter, after temporarily packing in a cardboard box, etc., as a tape to be pasted along the joint between the lid and lid that need to be unpacked, with an arbitrary length of the operator The purpose is to make a stringed tape with a string attached to the center of the tape.

  In order to achieve the above object, the tape cutter according to the first invention (the invention according to claim 1) has a structure in which the tape cutter can be held with one hand because the paper tube portion of the tape is a string storage portion. In order to do this, the holder is matched to the outer shape of the tape, and a hole with a palm shape is provided on the outer periphery. By inserting the palm into this hole, it is possible to hold the tape cutter body without pressing your finger. did. In addition, the position of the holder hole allows the finger to hold the finger on the side of the tape, and allows the finger to work as an important finger that can feed the tape and fix it at the time of cutting. The bundle of the cords stored in the paper tube is taken out from the hole in the center of the paper tube and sent to the front cutter through the guide. The position of the hole for taking out the cord is the hand passed through the holder. It is in a positional relationship suitable for the range in which the thumb can be operated.For example, by providing a guide for fixing the string at the time of feeding and cutting, the finger can be positioned and fixed at the time of cutting. I was able to form an important holder.

  As an example of a guide that can be operated with the thumb of one hand as described above, the string is taken out from the hole in the center of the paper tube and changes its direction to the front of the cutter by about 90 degrees, so a gentle curve is formed. , The string can be easily set in the guide by inserting it along the groove, and when cutting the string, the string passing through the groove is pinched by the stopper by pushing the guide toward the main body, and the string is sent out. It is possible to operate only with the thumb of one hand by providing a stopper guide that makes it easy to cut.

  From the above guide, the string fed in passes through the pipe from the hole opened on the side of the tape cutter, enters the tape cutter body again, is sent to the center of the tape in front of the cutter, and is pulled out and cut in the same working direction as the tape. The cutter could also be placed in the same location as the tape.

  In addition, at the exit where the string is sent out, a roller that functions as a presser at the time of taking out and pasting the tape is arranged, and the removed string becomes the starting point for sticking to the adhesive surface of the tape, and at the same time the string is stuck on the tape It was possible to withdraw

  And as 2nd invention (invention of Claim 2), when temporarily fixing a string, it is necessary to cut a tape, without cutting a string, and the cutter which cuts the tape which stuck the string is It is possible to form a jagged mountain blade lined up in a shape often used in general tape cutters, but in the center part of the jagged center, a groove for escaping the string is used. When cutting, there is a difference in the cutting height of the tape and the string as the role of the groove, and the tape can be cut but the string can be prevented from being cut. The string cutter blade is characterized by a tape cutter provided with a cutter blade capable of cutting the tape and the string, in which the string is cut by pressing the string deeply into the groove.

  By diverting the above functions, the third invention (the invention according to claim 3) is a method of attaching a vinyl string, a paper string, a hemp string or the like to the central portion of a tape such as a craft tape, a cloth tape, or a vinyl tape. The tape can be removed while the operator is making it to any length, and the tape with this string attached is attached to a part of the lid that needs to be unpacked, such as an envelope or cardboard box, so that the scissors and cutter When unpacking without using a knife, pull the string coming out from the tip of the tape to remove the tape, or tear the center of the tape by the string's force to break the tape that was holding the lid and lid. We provide a tape cutter that allows an operator to apply a special tape with an arbitrary length while applying it.

  And if you stop the place other than unpacking with tape, you can use only normal tape, the operator can use the normal tape with one tape cutter and the stringed tape that can be easily unpacked by the operator, Provide a tape cutter that can be attached.
