Description

本発明は、特に、熱転写プリンタ等のプリンタに用いられる、ロール状に巻回されたインクリボンやラベル等の記録媒体などの帯状体の交換が、円滑、かつ、簡単に行えると共に、大径の帯状体であっても、円滑な回転を可能とした巻回リールおよび巻回リールの支持機構に関する。
In particular, the present invention enables smooth and simple replacement of a belt-like member such as a recording medium such as an ink ribbon or a label wound in a roll used in a printer such as a thermal transfer printer, and has a large diameter. The present invention relates to a winding reel and a winding reel support mechanism that enable smooth rotation even for a belt-like body.

従来、転写フィルムを使ってラベル連続体等の記録媒体に印字を施す熱転写プリンタが知られており、一対の紙管ホルダにて「巻取リール」としての紙管を支持するとともに、紙管ホルダを駆動して紙管にて転写フィルム(インクリボン)を巻取るようにしている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a thermal transfer printer that prints on a recording medium such as a continuous label using a transfer film is known, and supports a paper tube as a “take-up reel” with a pair of paper tube holders. And a transfer film (ink ribbon) is wound around the paper tube (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

先ず、図8に基づき熱転写プリンタの一例を示すと、熱転写プリンタ(プリンタ)51は、記録媒体供給部52と、印字部53と、リボン供給部54と、リボン巻取り部55とを備えている。
記録媒体供給部52は、ロール状としたラベル連続体などの記録媒体56を回転可能に支持する供給軸57が設けられている。
印字部53は、プラテンローラ58とサーマルヘッド59とを備え、プラテンローラ58は図示省略の駆動源により回転駆動するように設けられている。
前記リボン供給部54、およびリボン巻取り部55は、印字部53の上方に設けられ、転写フィルム(インクリボン)60を保持している。
そして、リボン供給部54から繰り出されたインクリボン60は、ガイドローラ61を経て印字部53に移送される。印字部53では、ガイドローラ62を経て記録媒体供給部52から移送されてくる記録媒体56の表面にインクリボン60が重ね合わされるようにして、サーマルヘッド59の図示省略の発熱体の発熱によりインクリボン60のインクを記録媒体56に転写して所望の印字が施されるようになっている。
印字された記録媒体56は、発行口64より前方に繰り出されるとともに、転写済のインクリボン60は、ガイドローラ63を経て上方に移送されリボン巻取り部55にて巻き取られるようにしてある。
First, an example of a thermal transfer printer will be described with reference to FIG. 8. A thermal transfer printer (printer) 51 includes a recording medium supply unit 52, a printing unit 53, a ribbon supply unit 54, and a ribbon take-up unit 55. .
The recording medium supply unit 52 is provided with a supply shaft 57 that rotatably supports a recording medium 56 such as a roll-like continuous label.
The printing unit 53 includes a platen roller 58 and a thermal head 59, and the platen roller 58 is provided so as to be rotationally driven by a drive source (not shown).
The ribbon supply unit 54 and the ribbon winding unit 55 are provided above the printing unit 53 and hold a transfer film (ink ribbon) 60.
Then, the ink ribbon 60 fed out from the ribbon supply unit 54 is transferred to the printing unit 53 through the guide roller 61. In the printing unit 53, the ink ribbon 60 is superimposed on the surface of the recording medium 56 transferred from the recording medium supply unit 52 via the guide roller 62, and the ink is generated by the heat generation of a heating element (not shown) of the thermal head 59. The ink on the ribbon 60 is transferred to the recording medium 56 to perform desired printing.
The printed recording medium 56 is fed forward from the issuing port 64, and the transferred ink ribbon 60 is transferred upward through the guide roller 63 and taken up by the ribbon take-up unit 55.

特許文献1の紙管保持装置は、上記のような熱転写プリンタ(プリンタ)51に設けられるものであり、紙管の左右を紙管ホルダによって回転自在に支持するとともに、一方の紙管ホルダをモータで駆動し、紙管に装着した転写フィルム(インクリボン)等を巻き取るようにした装置であって、紙管(巻回リール)の一方側には切欠部を設け、かつ、前記紙管ホルダに隣接し、軸方向に弾性的に支持するとともに、前記切欠部分に着脱自在とされる爪が形成された爪プレートを設けている。
そして、モータの駆動により爪プレートを円周方向にスライドさせることにより、爪を紙管の切欠部に嵌入するようにしている(同文献の「特許請求の範囲」)。
The paper tube holding device of Patent Document 1 is provided in the thermal transfer printer (printer) 51 as described above, and supports the left and right sides of the paper tube rotatably by the paper tube holder, and one of the paper tube holders is a motor. In which a transfer film (ink ribbon) or the like mounted on a paper tube is wound up, a notch is provided on one side of the paper tube (winding reel), and the paper tube holder And a claw plate that is elastically supported in the axial direction and has a claw that is detachable from the cutout portion.
Then, the claw plate is slid in the circumferential direction by driving the motor, so that the claw is inserted into the notch portion of the paper tube (“Claims” of the same document).

ところで、熱転写プリンタ51では、印字・発行により消費する記録媒体56のほかインクリボン60の交換が発生するが、作業の効率化を図る利用者からは交換回数を極力少なくすると共に、交換作業が円滑かつ容易にできるようにして欲しいとの要望があり、交換回数の減少に応えるため必然的に記録媒体56やインクリボン60を大型化する傾向にある。   By the way, in the thermal transfer printer 51, the ink ribbon 60 is exchanged in addition to the recording medium 56 consumed by printing / issuance. In addition, there is a demand for making it easy to do so, and the recording medium 56 and the ink ribbon 60 tend to be enlarged in order to meet the decrease in the number of replacements.

しかしながら、記録媒体56やインクリボン60を大型化すると、ロール状に巻回した記録媒体56やインクリボン60はロール径が大きくなるとともに重くなり、重くなった分、繰り出しや巻取りに今まで以上の回転力が必要となり、従前の紙管保持装置では耐えられないという問題があった。
すなわち、紙管の切欠部に爪を嵌入し、記録媒体56やインクリボン60が巻回された紙管をモータにより繰り出すものであり、回転により切欠部に爪の回転力が伝わると、重たくなったゆえに切欠部が損傷する恐れがあるという問題があった。
繰り出された記録媒体56やインクリボン60を巻き取る場合も同様であり、巻き取ったロール径が大きくなってくると、重たくなり切欠部が損傷し易いものである。
However, when the recording medium 56 and the ink ribbon 60 are increased in size, the recording medium 56 and the ink ribbon 60 wound in a roll shape become heavier as the roll diameter becomes larger. Therefore, the conventional paper tube holding device cannot withstand such a problem.
That is, a claw is inserted into the notch portion of the paper tube, and the paper tube around which the recording medium 56 and the ink ribbon 60 are wound is fed out by a motor. Therefore, there is a problem that the notch may be damaged.
The same applies to the case where the recording medium 56 and the ink ribbon 60 that have been fed out are wound up. When the rolled-up roll diameter increases, the roll becomes heavier and the cutout portion is easily damaged.

また、記録媒体56またはインクリボン60を利用者が交換する際、大径で重くなった記録媒体56またはインクリボン60を一方の手で支えて爪プレートを軸方向で外側に押し込むと共に、他方の手で(スイッチなどを操作して)モータを駆動させることにより爪プレートを円周方向にスライドさせて紙管の切欠部が形成された適正位置に爪を嵌入するので、片手で重たい記録媒体56またはインクリボン60を装着する必要があり、かつ、爪プレートの押し込みとモータを回して紙管の切欠部へ爪を嵌入するための2動作を行う必要があったので、装着が大変という問題があった。
When the user replaces the recording medium 56 or the ink ribbon 60, the recording medium 56 or the ink ribbon 60 that has become large and heavy is supported by one hand and the nail plate is pushed outward in the axial direction. The claw plate is slid in the circumferential direction by driving the motor by hand (operating a switch or the like), and the claw is inserted into an appropriate position where the notch portion of the paper tube is formed. Alternatively, it is necessary to mount the ink ribbon 60, and it is necessary to perform two operations for inserting the nail into the notch portion of the paper tube by pushing the nail plate and turning the motor. there were.

図4は、上述した巻回リール1に帯状体R(同図において、想像線で示してある)を予め巻き付け「供給リール」として用いるとともに、プリンタ51に装着した状態を例示した支持機構の概略正面図である。
なお、説明の都合上、後述する第1および第2の支持部材12、13や巻回リール1の一部を破断して内部が見えるようにしてある。
巻回リール1の支持機構11は、第1の支持部材12と、この第1の支持部材12より所望距離はなれた、帯状体Rの幅方向(矢示W方向)において対峙する第2の支持部材13とを備えている。
FIG. 4 shows an outline of a support mechanism in which a belt-like body R (shown by an imaginary line in the figure) is wound in advance on the winding reel 1 described above and used as a “supply reel” and mounted on the printer 51. It is a front view.
For convenience of explanation, the first and second support members 12 and 13 and the winding reel 1 described later are partially broken so that the inside can be seen.
The support mechanism 11 of the winding reel 1 is a second support that faces the first support member 12 in the width direction (arrow W direction) of the strip-shaped body R, which is separated from the first support member 12 by a desired distance. And a member 13.

第1の支持部材12には、「回動駆動源」としての図示省略のモータにて回動する回転軸14が挿通されるとともに、この回転軸14の先端部に第1の係合凸部15が回動自在に設けられている。
第1の係合凸部15は、第2の支持部材13側に突出して設けられ、主に、図5に示すように、円錐台状に形成されるとともに、円錐台状の斜面に複数のリブ15aが形成されている。このリブ15aは、前記第1の係合凹部4の溝4aと数および間隔がほぼ同じであり、円錐台状の第1の係合凸部15と前記回転コア2のすり鉢状の第1の係合凹部4が係合した際、リブ15aと溝4aとが嵌合するようになっている(詳細は、後述する)。
A rotary shaft 14 that is rotated by a motor (not shown) as a “rotation drive source” is inserted into the first support member 12, and a first engagement convex portion is formed at the tip of the rotary shaft 14. 15 is rotatably provided.
The first engaging convex portion 15 is provided so as to protrude toward the second support member 13, and is mainly formed in a truncated cone shape as shown in FIG. Ribs 15a are formed. The ribs 15a are substantially the same in number and interval as the grooves 4a of the first engagement recesses 4, and the first engagement projections 15 having a truncated cone shape and a mortar-shaped first mortar-shaped first core. When the engaging recess 4 is engaged, the rib 15a and the groove 4a are fitted (details will be described later).

第2の支持部材13には、円錐台状の第2の係合凸部16が前記第1の係合凸部15と対峙する位置に設けられるとともに、底辺部(図4における右端部)に前記第2の係合凸部16を第1の支持部材12側へ付勢する「付勢手段」としてのバネ17が設けられている。
そして、前記第1の係合凸部15と第2の係合凸部16の間に巻回リール1が挿入されたとき、前記回転コア2の第1の係合凹部4と第1の係合凸部15が、また、回転コア2の第2の係合凹部5と第2の係合凸部16が、各々係合するとともに、前記バネ17の付勢力により巻回リール1が、第1および第2の支持部材12、13間に位置決め・装着されるようになっている(詳細は、後述する)。
The second support member 13 is provided with a frustoconical second engagement convex portion 16 at a position facing the first engagement convex portion 15 and at the bottom (right end in FIG. 4). A spring 17 is provided as “biasing means” for urging the second engagement convex portion 16 toward the first support member 12.
When the winding reel 1 is inserted between the first engaging convex portion 15 and the second engaging convex portion 16, the first engaging concave portion 4 and the first engaging portion of the rotating core 2 are inserted. The mating convex portion 15 is engaged with the second engaging concave portion 5 and the second engaging convex portion 16 of the rotary core 2, and the winding reel 1 is moved by the biasing force of the spring 17. It is positioned and mounted between the first and second support members 12 and 13 (details will be described later).

次に、主に、図6に基づき、支持機構11に巻回リール1を装着する手順を説明する。
支持装置11に巻回リール1が未装着の状態においては、第2の支持部材12に設けられている第2の係合凸部16は、「付勢手段」としてのバネ17の付勢力(矢示Fの付勢方向)によって第1の支持部材13側に突出して待機している。
操作者(図示省略)は、帯状体Rや回転コア2などを手で持って第1および第2の支持部材12、13の間に巻回リール1を運び、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16の近傍に回転コア2を位置決めする。
すなわち、第1の係合凸部15に近接して、回転コア2の一端部に形成された第1の案内フランジ部6を、また、第2の係合凸部16に近接して、回転コア2の他端部に形成された第2の案内フランジ部7を、各々位置決めする。
そして、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16に近接させた巻回リール1の回転コア2を、両端部に形成された第1および第2のフランジ部6、7が当接するように、さらに、接近させて押し入れる。
このとき、第1の案内フランジ部6は、円錐台状に形成された第1の係合凸部15の斜面に形成されたリブ15aに沿って、また、第2の案内フランジ部7は、円錐台状に形成された第2の係合凸部16の斜面に沿って、各々押し入れられるとともに、バネ17により巻回リール1側(矢示F方向)に付勢されている第2の係合凸部16が付勢力に抗して後退(矢示B方向)するため、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16の間が広がる(第2の係合凸部16の後退位置は、想像線にて図示)。
そのまま巻回リール1の押し入れを継続すると、第1および第2の案内フランジ部6、7が第1および第2の係合凸部15、16を乗り越え、回転コア2の第1の係合凹部4に対し第1の係合凸部15が係合し、また、第2の係合凹部5に対し第2の係合凸部16が係合するとともに、対峙して設けられる第1の係合凸部4側に向けバネ17により第2の係合凸部16が付勢されるため、第1および第2の支持部材11、12間の装着位置、より詳しくは、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16間に巻回リール1が装着されるものである。
Next, a procedure for mounting the winding reel 1 to the support mechanism 11 will be described mainly with reference to FIG.
In a state where the winding reel 1 is not mounted on the support device 11, the second engagement convex portion 16 provided on the second support member 12 is biased by the spring 17 as “biasing means” ( The first support member 13 is projected to stand by by the biasing direction of arrow F).
An operator (not shown) carries the winding reel 1 between the first and second support members 12 and 13 by holding the belt-like body R, the rotary core 2 and the like by hand, and performs the first and second engagements. The rotary core 2 is positioned in the vicinity of the convex portions 15 and 16.
That is, the first guide flange portion 6 formed at one end portion of the rotary core 2 is moved close to the first engagement convex portion 15 and the second engagement convex portion 16 is rotated. Each of the second guide flange portions 7 formed at the other end of the core 2 is positioned.
And the 1st and 2nd flange parts 6 and 7 formed in the both ends contact | abut the rotating core 2 of the winding reel 1 brought close to the 1st and 2nd engagement convex parts 15 and 16 so that it may contact | abut. Then push it closer together.
At this time, the first guide flange portion 6 is formed along the rib 15a formed on the inclined surface of the first engaging convex portion 15 formed in a truncated cone shape, and the second guide flange portion 7 is The second engagement is pushed in along the slope of the second engaging projection 16 formed in the shape of a truncated cone and is urged by the spring 17 toward the winding reel 1 (in the direction of arrow F). Since the joint protrusion 16 moves backward against the urging force (in the direction indicated by the arrow B), the space between the first and second engagement protrusions 15 and 16 expands (the retracted position of the second engagement protrusion 16). Is shown in imaginary lines).
If the pushing-in of the winding reel 1 is continued as it is, the first and second guide flange portions 6, 7 get over the first and second engagement projections 15, 16, and the first engagement recess of the rotary core 2. The first engagement convex portion 15 engages with the second engagement concave portion 5, and the second engagement convex portion 16 engages with the second engagement concave portion 5, and the first engagement is provided oppositely. Since the second engaging convex portion 16 is biased by the spring 17 toward the mating convex portion 4, the mounting position between the first and second support members 11, 12, more specifically, the first and second The winding reel 1 is mounted between the engaging projections 15 and 16.

なお、装着時、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16の間に巻回リール1を「押し入れる」と記載したが、図6における上方より回転コア2の第1および第2の案内フランジ部6、7を第1および第2の係合凸部15、16に当接・位置決めし、支え持っている巻回リール1の保持力を緩めると、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16の斜面に沿って第1および第2の案内フランジ部6、7が下方へ位置を移動することにより、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16間が広がるため、大径の帯状体Rが巻回された巻回リール1であっても、重さ(自重)を利用した装着が可能である。 In addition, although the winding reel 1 is described as “push in” between the first and second engaging convex portions 15 and 16 at the time of mounting, the first and second of the rotating core 2 are illustrated from above in FIG. When the guide flange portions 6 and 7 are abutted and positioned on the first and second engaging convex portions 15 and 16 and the holding force of the winding reel 1 that is supported is loosened, the first and second engaging portions Since the first and second guide flange portions 6 and 7 move downward along the slopes of the convex portions 15 and 16, the space between the first and second engaging convex portions 15 and 16 spreads. Even the winding reel 1 around which the large-diameter belt-shaped body R is wound can be mounted using the weight (self-weight).

また、巻回リール1が装着された際、一端部側は、回転軸14の先端に設けられた係合凸部15のリブ15aと、回転コア2の第1の係合凹部4の溝4aとが係合し、リブ15aと溝4aとの凹凸形状により嵌合するため、回転軸14を回転して帯状体Rを繰り出す際、回転軸14の回転力が同期を取った状態で巻回リール1に効率よく伝わるとともに空回りが防止され、また、他端部側は、第2の係合凸部16と回転コア2の穴状の第2の係合凹部5とが線接触で係合するので、回転しやすいものである。 Further, when the winding reel 1 is mounted, the one end portion side is provided with a rib 15 a of the engaging convex portion 15 provided at the tip of the rotating shaft 14 and a groove 4 a of the first engaging concave portion 4 of the rotating core 2. And the ribs 15a and the grooves 4a are engaged with each other by the concavo-convex shape. While being efficiently transmitted to the reel 1, idle rotation is prevented, and on the other end side, the second engaging convex portion 16 and the hole-shaped second engaging concave portion 5 of the rotary core 2 are engaged by line contact. It is easy to rotate.

また、巻回リール1の取外し時は、帯状体Rや回転コア2を手で持ち、装着位置から離反する方向に引っ張ると、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16の斜面に沿って第1および第2の係合凹部4、5が滑るとともに、第1の係合凹部4側に付勢していた第2の係合凹部5を徐々に後退させるため、取り外しが容易である。
なお、取り外し時、バネ17の付勢力に抗して第2の支持部材13側に巻回リール1を押し付け・移動した上で装着位置から離反する方向に引っ張るようにしてもよい。
Further, when the winding reel 1 is removed, the belt R and the rotating core 2 are held by hand and pulled in a direction away from the mounting position, along the slopes of the first and second engaging convex portions 15 and 16. The first and second engaging recesses 4 and 5 slide, and the second engaging recess 5 urged toward the first engaging recess 4 side is gradually retracted, so that removal is easy. .
At the time of removal, the winding reel 1 may be pressed / moved against the second support member 13 against the biasing force of the spring 17 and then pulled away from the mounting position.

上述したように、第1の支持部材12から帯状体Rの幅方向Wに突出して設けられた円錐台状の第1の係合凸部15と、第1の支持部材12から所望距離はなれて設けられた第2の支持部材13から突出し、第1の係合凸部15と対峙して設けられた円錐台状の第2の係合凸部16と、の間に、巻回リール1を押し入れる際、円錐台状の第1および第2の係合凸部15、16の斜面に回転コア2の第1および第2の案内フランジ部6、7が当接し、第1および第2の支持部材12、13側の太い径の部分から先端(帯状体R側)の細い径の部分に向けて形成された斜面を、細い径の方に向かって滑りながら押し入れられるとともに、第2の係合凸部16がバネ(付勢手段)17の付勢力に抗して後退するため、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16の間が押し広げられる状態になり結果、リブ15aを有する第1の係合凸部15と溝4aを有する第1の第1の係合凹部4とが嵌合し、かつ、第2の係合凸部16と第2の係合凹部5とが係合して巻回リール1を支持するため、装着が簡単なものである。   As described above, the desired distance from the first support member 12 is separated from the first support protrusion 12 having a truncated cone shape provided so as to protrude from the first support member 12 in the width direction W of the band-shaped body R. The winding reel 1 is protruded from the provided second supporting member 13 and between the second engaging convex portion 16 having a truncated cone shape provided so as to face the first engaging convex portion 15. When pushing in, the first and second guide flange portions 6 and 7 of the rotating core 2 abut against the inclined surfaces of the frustoconical first and second engaging convex portions 15 and 16, and the first and second The inclined surface formed from the thick diameter portion on the support member 12, 13 side toward the thin diameter portion on the tip (band-shaped body R side) is pushed in while sliding toward the thin diameter, and the second member Since the joint convex part 16 moves backward against the urging force of the spring (biasing means) 17, the first and second engaging convex parts 15. As a result, the first engaging convex portion 15 having the rib 15a and the first first engaging concave portion 4 having the groove 4a are fitted to each other, and the second engaging portion 15 is expanded. Since the engaging convex portion 16 and the second engaging concave portion 5 are engaged to support the winding reel 1, the mounting is simple.

また、巻回リール1が装着された状態において、第1の支持部材12側は、回転軸14の先端部に設けた第1の係合凸部15のリブ15aと第2の係合凹部4の溝4aとが嵌合するため、回転軸14の回転が同期を取って無駄なく巻回リール1に伝達され回転力のロスが少ない分、回転力の向上が図れるとともに、空回りが防止されるものであり、以って、大径の巻回リール1であっても、帯状体Rの繰り出しが円滑となる。   In addition, in the state where the winding reel 1 is mounted, the first support member 12 side has the rib 15a of the first engagement convex portion 15 provided at the distal end portion of the rotating shaft 14 and the second engagement concave portion 4. Since the rotation of the rotary shaft 14 is synchronized and transmitted to the winding reel 1 without waste, the rotational force is improved and the rotational force is improved, and idling is prevented. Therefore, even if the winding reel 1 has a large diameter, the belt-shaped body R can be smoothly fed out.

(第2実施形態)
次に、主に、図7に基づき他の実施の形態の支持機構につき、説明する。
なお、以下において、従来および先の実施の形態と同様の部分は同一符号を付すに止め、詳説を省略する。
図7は、リボン巻取り部55(図8参照)近辺を示す概略斜視図であり、巻回リール1を「巻取リール」として使用する例を示している。
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a support mechanism according to another embodiment will be mainly described with reference to FIG.
In the following description, the same parts as those in the conventional and previous embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view showing the vicinity of the ribbon take-up portion 55 (see FIG. 8), and shows an example in which the take-up reel 1 is used as a “take-up reel”.

同図に示すように、第1の支持部材12には、第2の支持部材13側の側面に突出してガイド部材18が形成されている。
このガイド部材18は、同図における左上側に開口18aが形成されるとともに、開口18aから第1の係合凸部15に向け両端が先細となるよう傾斜して凸状に形成されるとともに、第1の係合凸部15を挟み、開口18aとは反対側(背面側)の半周を囲むよう、いわば、巾着袋状に形成されており、前記第1および第2の支持部材12、13間に前記巻回リール1を押し入れる際、巻回リール1を装着位置に移動・案内するための「ガイド手段」である。
すなわち、第1および第2の支持部材12、13の間に巻回リール1を装着する際、開口18aに回転コア2の第1の案内フランジ部6を押し当て、奥側(同図における、右下側)に向けて押し込むと、巻回リール1は先細のガイド部材18に案内されて第1の係合凸部15へと案内され、一端部の第1の係合凹部4と第1の係合凸部15が嵌合するとともに、他端部の第2の係合凹部5と第2の係合凸部16が係合し、位置決め・装着される。
As shown in the figure, a guide member 18 is formed on the first support member 12 so as to protrude from the side surface on the second support member 13 side.
The guide member 18 is formed with an opening 18a on the upper left side in the figure, and is formed in a convex shape that is inclined so that both ends are tapered from the opening 18a toward the first engagement convex portion 15. The first and second support members 12 and 13 are formed in a so-called drawstring bag shape so as to surround a half circumference on the opposite side (back side) to the opening 18a with the first engagement convex portion 15 interposed therebetween. It is a “guide means” for moving and guiding the winding reel 1 to the mounting position when the winding reel 1 is pushed in between.
That is, when the winding reel 1 is mounted between the first and second support members 12 and 13, the first guide flange portion 6 of the rotary core 2 is pressed against the opening 18a, and the back side (in the figure, When it is pushed in toward the lower right side, the winding reel 1 is guided by the tapered guide member 18 and guided to the first engagement convex portion 15, and the first engagement concave portion 4 and the first one at one end portion are guided. The second engaging concave portion 5 and the second engaging convex portion 16 at the other end are engaged, and positioned and mounted.

なお、第1の係合凸部15の半周、すなわち、開口18aと対峙する半周もガイド部材18により囲まれているため、巻回リール1を押し込んだ際それ以上、奥側に押し込まれることがないものである。
また、取り外す際も、巻取り済みの帯状体Rや回転コア2を持って、同図における斜め左上側に引き出すと、第1および第2の係合凸部15、16と、第1および第2の係合凹部4、5との係合が外れるとともに、ガイド部材18に沿って巻回リール1が容易に取り外せる。
In addition, since the half circumference of the 1st engagement convex part 15, ie, the half circumference which opposes the opening 18a, is also surrounded by the guide member 18, when the winding reel 1 is pushed in, it will be pushed into the back | inner side further. There is nothing.
Also, when removing the belt-shaped body R and the rotating core 2 that have been wound up and pulled out obliquely to the upper left in the figure, the first and second engaging protrusions 15, 16 and the first and first 2 is disengaged from the engaging recesses 4 and 5, and the winding reel 1 can be easily removed along the guide member 18.

上述したように、ガイド部材18を設けると、開口18aに巻回リール1の第1のガイド部材6を押し当てて押し込むだけで第1の係合凸部15へと案内されるため、支え持つのが大変な大径で重たい帯状体Rであっても、円滑に着脱が可能である。
その他の構成、作用、効果については、先の実施の形態とほぼ同様につき詳説を省略する。
As described above, when the guide member 18 is provided, the first guide member 6 of the winding reel 1 is pressed and pushed into the opening 18a and is guided to the first engagement convex portion 15, so that it has a support. Even if it is a very large and heavy strip R, it can be smoothly attached and detached.
About another structure, an effect | action, and an effect, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted since it is the same as that of previous embodiment.

なお、上記実施の形態の構成及び動作は例であって、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更することができることは言うまでもない。
It should be noted that the configuration and operation of the above-described embodiment are examples, and it goes without saying that they can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
