[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a transfer device capable of performing a required transfer is known for various transfer agents represented by a correction agent made of a white film used for correction of typographical characters or the like or an adhesive used for predetermined adhesion. ing. As this type of transfer device, for example, the type shown in FIG. 7 is known. That is, in the same figure, a transfer device 50 includes a main body case 51 having a substantially elliptical shape in front view, and a transfer device in which a transfer agent is laminated while being disposed inside the main body case 51. A feeding reel 53 around which the tape T is wound, and a head portion 54 that hangs the transfer tape T fed from the feeding reel 53 in the reverse direction, and transfers the transfer agent to an adherend (not shown); A take-up reel 55 that can take up the transfer tape T after the transfer agent is peeled off is provided. Such a transfer device 50 moves in a predetermined direction while pressing the head portion 54 against the adherend surface, whereby the feeding reel 53 and the take-up reel 55 rotate synchronously, and follow the movement locus of the head portion 54. Thus, the transfer agent is transferred onto the adherend surface.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in such a transfer device 50, each of the feeding reel 53 and the take-up reel 55 has a structure in which the transfer tape T is wound in a single row in a substantially concentric manner. The space for the maximum winding diameter of the transfer tape T must be secured inside the main body case 51, and the main body case 51 must be inflated as shown in the figure. This shape is attributed to the fact that the maximum winding diameter on the side of the supply reel 53 is larger than that of the take-up reel 55 because the transfer agent is laminated. Therefore, such a transfer device 50 not only provides a dead space due to the difference in the maximum winding diameter of the reels 53 and 55 in the inside thereof, but also because the main body case 51 is inflated. It is difficult to put it in a pocket or the like, which is inconvenient to carry and has the following disadvantages in that the storage property is not necessarily good.
That is, this type of transfer device 50 is generally stored in a standing state on a pen stand, or stored in a desk drawer or the like. Even if the transfer device 50 is housed, the transfer device 50 cannot be visually recognized from the outside, and the storage area of the pen stand is narrowed. Further, when the transfer device 50 is stored in a desk drawer or the like, since the transfer device 50 is stored in a lying state, there is a disadvantage in that a dead space is generated inside the drawer. Here, if the maximum winding diameter of the feeding reel 53 is reduced by reducing the thickness of the transfer tape T or reducing the length thereof, the transfer device 50 is physically slimmed and made compact. it can. However, the thickness of the transfer tape T cannot be reduced to a predetermined value or less in consideration of technical factors, strength, or concealment properties when the transfer agent is used as a correction agent. The length cannot be made too short for convenience. For this reason, in the structure of the above-described feeding reel 53, there is a limit to realizing slimming and compacting of the transfer device 50.
[0004]
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been devised by paying attention to such inconveniences, and the object of the present invention is to realize slimming and compacting of the transfer device without impairing convenience, and portability of the transfer device.

According to such a configuration, the maximum winding diameter of the transfer tape on the supply reel can be reduced without changing the thickness and length of the transfer tape, and the dead space inside the transfer device can be reduced. In addition, the transfer device can be made slim and compact, and can be made into an elongated pen type. For this reason, the portability and storage property of the transfer device can be greatly improved. Further, since the maximum winding diameter of the transfer tape on the supply reel is reduced, the difference in winding diameter between the take-up reel that takes up the transfer tape and the supply reel can be reduced. Thereby, the slip amount of the empty slip in any one of the reels performed for winding the transfer tape without sagging can be reduced, and the weight of the transfer operation of the transfer tape proportional to the slip amount can be reduced. The transfer operation of the transfer tape can be performed smoothly.

Then, it rotates with it. Here, belts 29 are wound around the support shafts 17 and 28 of the supply reel 13 and the take-up reel 15, whereby the reels 13 and 15 can rotate synchronously. The interlocking of the reels 13 and 15 is not limited to the above-described structure, and various configurations such as interlocking via a predetermined gear or the like can be employed.
[0016]
The head portion 14 has a known structure in which the transfer agent on the transfer tape T can be transferred onto the adherend surface when the transfer device 10 is pulled in a predetermined direction while pressing the front end side against the adherend surface side. The detailed description is omitted here.
[0017]
In the first embodiment, the configuration in which the single feeding reel 13 is provided on the support shaft 17 is illustrated and described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there is a passage through which the transfer tape T can pass. The provided reels may be provided at a plurality of locations along the axial direction of the support shaft 17.
[0018]
Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same or equivalent components as in the first embodiment, and the description is omitted or simplified.
[0019]
[Second Embodiment]
As shown in FIG. 5, the transfer device 30 according to this embodiment includes a substantially cylindrical feeding reel at three axial positions of a single rotation center shaft 31 extending along the extending direction of the main body case 11. It has a feature where 32 is provided. Each supply reel 32 is set to have a winding width that enables the transfer tape T to be wound in a single row in a substantially concentric manner. In the present embodiment, the supply reels 32 are provided at three locations, but may be provided at two locations or at a plurality of locations.
[0020]
Winding of the transfer tape T around the supply reel 32 according to the present embodiment is performed as follows. That is, after one end of a single transfer tape T is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the supply reel 32 farthest from the head portion 14, the transfer tape T is wound around the supply reel 32 in a substantially concentric manner, and then the head It winds around each supply reel 32 sequentially toward the section 14. As a result, the transfer tape T is sequentially fed from the feeding reel 32 closest to the head unit 14 toward the opposite side of the head unit 14. Here, each feeding reel 32 is provided with a bar 33 as a winding state maintaining means on the head unit 14 side, and the rolled reel wound around the feeding reel T is fed from the feeding reel 32. The adhesive tape T is prevented from being scattered. Also in this embodiment, the lead end side of the transfer tape T after being wound around the supply reel 32 is wound around the head portion 14 and fixed to the take-up reel 34. The take-up reel 34 has a take-up width that allows the transfer tape T to be taken up in a single row substantially concentrically.
[0021]
The rotation center shaft 31 is provided in a spline shaft shape and meshes with a spline shaft-shaped rotation shaft 37 interlocked with a gear 36 that can rotate synchronously with the take-up reel 34, whereby the supply reel 32 and the take-up reel are engaged. 34 can be rotated synchronously.
[0022]
[Third embodiment]
As shown in FIG. 6, the present embodiment is characterized in that the feeding reel 13 is configured without providing the partition member 22 in the first embodiment. The feeding reel 13 in this embodiment also has a winding width that is twice or more the tape width of the transfer tape T, and the transfer tape T is wound with a winding width that is twice or more the tape width. Yes. That is, in this embodiment, since there is no partition member 22, the transfer tape T is wound around the supply reel 13 in a random bobbin shape.
[0023]
Therefore, in each of the above-described embodiments, the maximum winding diameter of the feeding reels 13 and 32 is reduced without changing the thickness and length of the transfer tape T, so that the main body is not impaired. The case 11 can be a long and narrow pen type. As a result, the transfer devices 10 and 30 can be stored in a pen stand with a part thereof exposed, or stored in a pen tray or the like provided in a desk drawer. It can be stored in a brush case or the like, and the portability is greatly improved.
[0024]
The structure described in each of the above embodiments can be applied to both a correction transfer device using a transfer agent as a correction agent, or an adhesive transfer device using a transfer agent as an adhesive. is there.
[0025]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the maximum winding diameter of the transfer tape on the supply reel can be reduced without changing the thickness and length of the transfer tape, and the dead inside the transfer device can be reduced. Not only can the space be reduced, it is possible to promote slimming and compactness of the entire transfer device, and it is possible to obtain a shape of the transfer device excellent in portability and storage.
[0026]
Also, in the past, in a transfer device in which a transfer tape is connected between the supply reel and the take-up reel, in order to wind up the transfer tape without slack between the two reels from the beginning to the end, always On the take-up side, the transfer tape has to be taken up by the same distance as the feeding distance. However, for reels on which transfer tape is wound concentrically, from the start to the end, the tape winding diameter is small to large on the winding side, and the tape winding diameter is large on the feeding side. Since each changes from small to small, if the winding side is set to be interlocked with a gear or the like so that the winding side is wound at the same distance as the feeding side at the start time, it will try to wind up many times faster than the feeding side at the end time. . Therefore, at present, the winding side (or the feeding side) is set so that the part to be wound more than the feeding is slipped while the brake is applied. For this reason, the longer the distance of the slip, the heavier the feeding and the operational inconvenience such as the transfer tape being cut.
However, according to the present invention, since the reels can be wound in two or more rows on the same axis, the difference in the winding diameter of the transfer tape between the start time and the end time can be reduced, and the winding near the end can be performed. It is possible to prevent the sliding distance on the reel side (or the feeding reel side) from being reduced and to prevent the transfer tape from being fed out.
[0027]
Furthermore, since the winding state maintaining means for preventing the transfer tape wound around the supply reel from being scattered is provided, sagging of the transfer tape T at the time of transfer of the transfer tape T is prevented, and more stable. The transfer tape T can be fed out.
