Description

【０００１】
【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、転写テープ上の塗膜を紙面等に転写するための塗膜転写具に関するものであり、詳しくは、塗膜転写具のハウジングの保持機構に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
塗膜転写具は、転写テープを紙面等に転写するためのものとして種々提案されている。塗膜転写具は一般的に、ハウジング内に内部部品として、転写テープ、繰出部、転写部、巻取部、駆動部を含んで構成される。転写テープは、薄葉紙やプラスチックフィルムの基材上に被覆層や粘着層を積層したものであり、いわゆる修正テープやマーキングテープ、粘着テープなどがある。転写テープはハウジング内で、繰出部から転写部を経由し、巻取部へとつながる経路をたどる。繰出部は転写される前の転写テープを保持し、一般的には転写テープを巻回し保持する。巻取部は、被覆層や粘着層を転写した後の基材を保持し、一般的には基材を巻回し保持する。駆動部は、転写テープの繰出し、巻取りのために機能し、回転駆動して転写テープを繰出部から巻取部へ送出する。転写部は、転写テープの転写層を紙面等の被転写面へ転写するためにハウジングから突出するよう設けられている。
【０００３】
転写部では転写前の転写テープの転写層が露出しているため、保管時等の使用時以外にはその露出部分に埃やゴミが付着するおそれがある。転写層にゴミなどが付着すると、場合によってはその部分に転写不良が発生し塗膜の転写が困難となる。また、転写層が露出していると、転写層が被転写面以外に不用意に付着するということもある。さらに、転写部の先端が鋭角であるため周囲を損傷するということもあり得る。これらを防止するために転写部、または転写層の露出部分には、これらの部分を覆い、保護するカバーが設けられているものもある。
【０００４】
転写部の保護カバーとしては、ハウジングとは別体のキャップ部品として構成し、取り外しが可能なものや、キャップ部品がハウジングに蝶番式に固設されるもの、円筒状の保護カバーがハウジングに摺動自在に設けられているものなどがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。さらに、転写部のカバー手段として、転写ヘッドを覆うキャップに後方へ突出したアームを一体に設けるとともに、そのアームの後端部に回転軸部を設け、又、ケース本体の前端近傍の側面に前後方向に長い軸受溝を設けて、上記のアームの後端部に設けた回転軸部をその軸受溝に前後方向へスライド自在に且つ回転自在に嵌合させたことを特徴とするものがある（例えば、特許文献２参照）。
【０００５】
塗膜転写具は転写テープ等内部部品が交換可能なものと、内蔵の転写テープを使い切り再使用しないものとがある。交換可能なものは、ハウジング内の転写テープのみを交換するもの、転写テープと駆動部の一部または全部を交換するもの等、交換する内部部品の組合せにより種々のものがある。交換方法は、内部部品それぞれを個別に交換する方法、内部部品がホルダー板などに着脱可能に保持され、内部部品の装着後ホルダー板を取り除く方法、内部部品が固定されたカートリッジを交換する方法等がある。内部部品が交換可能な塗膜転写具はいずれも、交換時に塗膜転写具のハウジングから内部部品あるいはカートリッジが分離可能な状態にならなくてはならず、ハウジングを複数に分離できること、あるいはカートリッジの出し入れの可能な開口部を有する必要がある。ハウジングを開閉可能とするために、ハウジングには解除可能な保持手段が設けられることが一般的である。保持手段は、ハウジングの保持位置と保持解除位置とを移動し、保持解除位置ではハウジングを保持せず、ハウジングが分離できるという仕組が一般的である。
【０００６】
ハウジングの保持手段の中には、塗膜転写具の部品点数を減少させ、資源の節約、またコストダウンを実現するために、ハウジング保持の機構を他の部材に付加し、該部材にハウジングの保持手段を兼ねさせたものもある。塗膜転写具ハウジング表面に保持機構が設けられる塗膜転写具は、ハウジングが二部材からなり、カートリッジにより内部部品が交換可能なものが一般的である。例えばカートリッジの表面に、ハウジングの表面に突出するスライド可能な保持部材を設け、ハウジングの表面には、保持部材が突出しかつスライド可能な開口部を設ける。保持部材は、ハウジング表面に突出する部分がその突出部分を支える軸部分より大きく、ダンベル状の形状とし、また開口部は、保持部材の表面に突出する部分が貫通する大孔と、突出する部分は通ることができない、軸部分の幅程度の大きさの小孔とがつながった形とする。このような構成を備えた塗膜転写具の、一方のハウジング、カートリッジ、他方のハウジングを重ね合わせ、ハウジングから突出した保持部材をハウジング開口部の大孔に通し、保持部材を小孔側へスライドさせると、ハウジングとカートリッジが結合され、ハウジングは保持状態となる。保持部材が大孔側に位置すると、保持は解除され、一方のハウジングを分離することができる。このような保持手段を転写部の部材に適用し、前記保持部材を転写部材と一体化して構成されたものもある（例えば、特許文献３、４参照）。
【０００７】
あるいは、転写部カバーと保持手段を一体化したものがある（特許文献５参照）。これは、転写部を経由し露出する転写テープを保護するロックカバーを前後可動式に具備してなる転写器に於いて、ロックカバーの長手方向一側縁に縁方向に亘る長尺爪を設けると共に、その他側縁にはその縁方向所要の位置で前記長尺爪よりも短い短尺爪を設ける一方、ケース本体とケース蓋とのいずれか一方側に、前記ロックカバーの長尺爪をスライド可能に係合させる長尺爪溝を設けると共に、他方側には短尺爪をスライド可能に係合させる短尺爪溝を設けて、この長尺・短尺爪溝に対する長尺爪と短尺爪との挿入係合によりケース本体とケース蓋を掴持連結してなり、更に短尺爪溝の溝方向における所要の位置に短尺爪の長さに相当する開口幅にて切欠開口せしめた爪離脱用凹欠部を設けてなるものである。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の保持手段と保護カバーとを一体化したものは、保護カバーは、保護カバーに設けられた長尺爪がハウジングに設けられた長尺爪溝にスライド可能に係合し保持されるものであるため、ハウジング分離後の、ハウジングから保護カバーが脱落しやすいという問題がある。また、保護カバーの爪溝の溝方向への摺動ラインに、転写部の保護位置、転写部を露出させる転写位置、ハウジングの保持を解除する解除位置が並ぶため、転写部の保護のための移動中にも保持解除位置に位置し、不用意にハウジングが分離するおそれがある。本願はこのような問題を解消するものである。
【００１０】
ハウジングが複数部からなる塗膜転写具において、ハウジングの保持手段は、第１に各部を強固に保持することが必要とされる。保持力が弱いとハウジングが容易に分離し、またその分離によって内部部品やカートリッジがハウジング内から飛散し、使用することができなくなるからである。次いで、ハウジングの保持は容易に解除できる構造であることが必要とされる。ハウジングの内部部品を交換し、繰り返し使用を可能にするため、あるいは、塗膜転写具自体を分解して各部材ごとに分別廃棄を可能とするためには、ハウジングの保持の解除が容易でなければならない。さらに、内部部品が交換可能な塗膜転写具にあっては、多数回にわたる保持、保持解除の動作によっても、その保持力や操作性が劣化しないものである必要がある。本願はこのような課題を解決する塗膜転写具及びそのハウジングの保持機構を提供するものである。
【００１１】
転写部の保護カバーは、転写不良の発生や周囲の汚損を防止するために確実に転写部、または転写層の露出部分を覆うものであることが必要である。また、紛失を防止するために塗膜転写具のハウジング等と別離しないものが望ましい。この場合、さらに、ハウジングに固設された保護カバーが転写時に転写操作の邪魔にならない位置に固設されることが望ましい。
【００１２】
本願は、これらの、ハウジングの保持手段と転写部の保護カバーに個別に要求される性能を満たし、かつ保持手段と保護カバーとを一体化して、塗膜転写具の部品点数を減少させ、資源の節約、またコストダウンを実現する、ハウジングの保持機構及びその保持機構を適用した塗膜転写具を提供することを目的とする。
【００１３】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本願は、分離可能なハウジングと、基材と転写用塗膜とからなる転写テープと、転写テープの繰出部と、ハウジングの開口部から突出する塗膜の転写部と、基材の巻取部と、ハウジング保持部とを備える転写具であって、ハウジング保持部は、保持部材と、ハウジング上に設けられた保持部材嵌合案内孔とを含み、前記保持部材は、前記案内孔を摺動し、かつ所定位置で回転する突起と、ハウジング保持片とを有するものとする。前記ハウジング保持部材は、前記保持部材嵌合案内孔の転写部保護位置とハウジング保持位置間を摺動し、かつ前記保持部材嵌合案内孔の転写部保護位置でハウジング保持部材の突起の回転によりハウジングの保持を解除する。
【００１４】
ハウジング保持部材は、底面とその両側に設けられる側壁とを有し、一方の側壁は一端が底面及び他方の側壁よりも長く、その一方の側壁の底面及び他方の側壁よりも長い一端に、前記案内孔に保持される突起を設けた形状とし、ハウジングに設けられる保持部材嵌合案内孔は長円形状とする。前記ハウジング保持部材の突起は、前記案内孔に保持される。また、ハウジング保持部材はハウジングの開口部に面して設けることができる。
【００１５】
【００１６】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施例である塗膜転写具の正面図を図１に示した。図１の塗膜転写具は、転写部に面して保持手段を備えるものである。
【００１７】
本願発明は、複数部からなるハウジングの保持手段を有する塗膜転写具に関するものである。ハウジングが、少なくとも二部材からなる塗膜転写具に適用される。二部材からなるものは、ハウジングの一方に内部部品または内部部品を内包するカートリッジを装着し、他方をふたとして重ね合わせ、両ハウジングを保持部材で分離しないよう保持した上で使用される。内蔵される転写テープは、薄葉紙やプラスチックフィルムの基材上に被覆層や粘着層を積層したもので被覆層及び粘着層を紙面等に転写する、いわゆる修正テープやマーキングテープ、粘着テープなど適宜選択することができる。
【００１８】
巻取部及び繰出部は、リールと該リールの支軸を有する駆動手段を含む。細長いテープ状の転写テープが繰出部のリールに巻回され、巻取部のリールには塗膜を転写した後の転写テープ基材が巻回される。繰出部と巻取部は、塗膜転写具内で並べて配置されてもよく、重ねて配置されてもよい。繰出部、巻取部の駆動手段は、ギヤやプーリなど回転物を連動させる機構が利用される。繰出部と巻取部との回転を同期させるためにＯリングなどを用いた滑り機構などを使用することもできる。駆動手段や回転の同期手段は適宜組合せて選択することができる。
【００１９】
転写部は転写テープを紙面等被転写面に転写するためにハウジングから突出するよう設けられる。転写部の形状は転写テープを被転写面に転写可能なものであればよく、転写テープの種類により、先の尖った略三角柱やへら状の板体、ローラーなど適宜選択することができる。転写部には転写テープの走行を安定させるための、テープ案内板を設けることができる。
【００２０】
内部部品は、ハウジング内に各々配置されていてもよく、一部もしくは全部がカートリッジやホルダー上に保持されていてもよい。内部部品は交換可能であっても、内蔵の転写テープを使い切り再使用しないものであってもよい。内部部品の交換は、内部部品それぞれをそのまま交換する方法であっても、内部部品がホルダー板などに着脱可能に保持され、内部部品の装着後ホルダー板を取り除く方法であっても、内部部品が固定されたカートリッジを交換する方法であってもいよい。
【００２１】
ハウジングの保持手段は、ハウジング上に設けられた案内孔と、前記案内孔に保持される突起と、ハウジング保持片とを含むハウジング保持部材とからなる。ハウジング保持部材は、底面とその両側に設けられる側壁とを有し、一方の側壁は一端が底面及び他方の側壁よりも長く、その一方の側壁の底面及び他方の側壁よりも長い一端にハウジングに設けられた案内孔に保持される突起を設けた形状であることが必要である。前記側壁の形状はハウジングを挟持して保持できる形状であればよく、適宜選択される。ハウジング保持部材は保持解除用意位置とハウジング保持位置間をハウジングの案内孔に沿って摺動し、保持解除用意位置と保持解除位置では前記突起を軸に回転して、転位する。保持解除用意位置では保持部材は依然ハウジングを保持しており、保持は保持部材が保持解除位置に転動することではじめて解除される。そのため、保持部材の突起を設けない側壁は保持解除位置であっても、突起を設けた側壁と共にハウジングを挟持する形状であることが必要である。
【００２２】
保持手段を設ける位置は、ハウジングを挟持できる箇所であればよいが、保持解除用意位置で保持部材の一部がハウジングに重ならない位置に設けることが好適である。このような位置に設けることで、保持部材の底面の一端を持って保持部材を回転させることができ、より小さな力で容易に保持を解除することができる。また、ハウジング保持位置では、保持部材の側壁全体がハウジングの表面に重なる位置に設けることが好適である。保持部材全体がハウジング表面に重なっているので、保持部材を回転させるための発端を掴みにくく、保持解除用意位置以外での、保持解除の回転を防ぐことができる。
【００２３】
保持手段と転写部の保護カバーを一体化する場合には、前記保持解除用意位置が転写部保護位置となる。この場合、保持部材は転写部に面して設ける必要がある。さらに保持部材は転写部または露出した転写層を覆う形状である必要がある。
【００２４】
保持部材の突起は、ハウジング上の保持部材嵌合案内孔を、摺動しかつ回転できる形状であることが必要である。例えば、突起を円筒状にし、その先端に前記案内孔にかかる爪を設けることで、保持部材がハウジングから脱落することなく、保持部材のみでハウジングに係設することができる。保持部材の底面には、摺動の操作を容易にするために、つまみや突起を設けることができる。
【００２５】
ハウジングに設ける保持部材嵌合案内孔は、保持部材の突起を摺動、回転させる形状であればよい。ハウジング上の保持部材の突起を有する側壁が重なる部分には、該側壁の形状に沿った窪みを設けることができる。ハウジング保持位置では該端がハウジングの窪みにはまり、不用意に突起を軸に回転して保持を解除することを防ぐことができる。分離させたハウジングを保持する際の位置決め、また保持をより強固にするために、一方のハウジングに係合爪を設け、他方に爪受溝を前記案内孔と平行して設けてもよい。
【００２６】
【発明の効果】
本願は、ハウジングの保持手段と転写部の保護カバーに個別に要求される性能を満たし、かつ保持手段と保護カバーとを一体化して、塗膜転写具の部品点数を減少させ、資源の節約、またコストダウンを実現する、ハウジングの保持機構及びその保持機構を適用した塗膜転写具を提供することができる。また、保持解除用意位置とハウジング保持位置は摺動により移行し、転写部保護位置と保持解除位置は回転により移行するので、不用意に保持部材が保持解除位置に移行することを防止することができる。

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
The present invention relates to a coating film transfer tool for transferring a coating film on a transfer tape onto a paper surface or the like, and more particularly to a holding mechanism for a housing of the coating film transfer tool.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Various coating film transfer tools have been proposed for transferring a transfer tape onto a paper surface or the like. Generally, the coating film transfer tool includes a transfer tape, a feeding unit, a transfer unit, a winding unit, and a driving unit as internal components in a housing. The transfer tape is obtained by laminating a coating layer or an adhesive layer on a thin paper or plastic film substrate, and includes a so-called correction tape, marking tape, and adhesive tape. In the housing, the transfer tape follows a path leading from the feeding portion to the winding portion via the transfer portion. The feeding portion holds the transfer tape before being transferred, and generally winds and holds the transfer tape. The winding unit holds the base material after the coating layer or the adhesive layer is transferred, and generally winds and holds the base material. The drive unit functions for feeding and winding the transfer tape, and rotates to send the transfer tape from the feed unit to the winding unit. The transfer portion is provided so as to protrude from the housing in order to transfer the transfer layer of the transfer tape to a transfer surface such as a paper surface.
[0003]
Since the transfer layer of the transfer tape before transfer is exposed at the transfer portion, there is a possibility that dust or dirt may adhere to the exposed portion except during use such as storage. If dust or the like adheres to the transfer layer, in some cases, transfer failure occurs in that portion, and it becomes difficult to transfer the coating film. Further, when the transfer layer is exposed, the transfer layer may be inadvertently attached to a surface other than the transfer surface. Furthermore, since the tip of the transfer part has an acute angle, the surroundings may be damaged. In order to prevent these problems, there are some cases in which a transfer portion or an exposed portion of the transfer layer is provided with a cover that covers and protects these portions.
[0004]
The protective cover of the transfer unit is configured as a cap part separate from the housing and can be removed, the cap part is hinged to the housing, or the cylindrical protective cover slides on the housing. Some are provided so as to be movable (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Furthermore, as a means for covering the transfer section, an arm that protrudes rearward is integrally provided on the cap that covers the transfer head, a rotating shaft is provided at the rear end of the arm, and front and rear sides are provided on the side surface near the front end of the case body. A long bearing groove is provided in the direction, and the rotating shaft provided at the rear end portion of the arm is fitted into the bearing groove so as to be slidable and rotatable in the front-rear direction. For example, see Patent Document 2).
[0005]
There are two types of coating film transfer tools, in which internal parts such as a transfer tape can be exchanged, and those that use up the built-in transfer tape and are not reused. There are various types that can be exchanged depending on the combination of exchanged internal parts, such as an exchange of only the transfer tape in the housing, an exchange of part or all of the transfer tape and the drive unit, and the like. The replacement method includes a method of individually replacing each internal component, a method of removing the holder plate after the internal components are detachably held on the holder plate, a method of replacing the cartridge to which the internal components are fixed, etc. There is. Any film transfer tool with replaceable internal parts must be able to separate the internal parts or cartridge from the film transfer tool housing at the time of replacement. It is necessary to have an opening that can be taken in and out. In order to make the housing openable and closable, the housing is generally provided with a releasable holding means. In general, the holding means moves between a holding position and a holding release position of the housing, does not hold the housing at the holding release position, and can separate the housing.
[0006]
In the housing holding means, in order to reduce the number of parts of the coating film transfer tool, to save resources, and to reduce the cost, a housing holding mechanism is added to another member, and the housing is attached to the member. Some also serve as holding means. A coating film transfer tool having a holding mechanism provided on the surface of the coating film transfer tool housing is generally one in which the housing is composed of two members and the internal parts can be replaced by a cartridge. For example, a slidable holding member that protrudes from the surface of the housing is provided on the surface of the cartridge, and an opening that allows the holding member to protrude and slide is provided on the surface of the housing. The holding member has a dumbbell-like shape in which the portion protruding to the housing surface is larger than the shaft portion supporting the protruding portion, and the opening is a large hole through which the portion protruding to the surface of the holding member penetrates. Is connected to a small hole whose size is about the width of the shaft. In the coating film transfer tool having such a configuration, one housing, the cartridge, and the other housing are overlapped, the holding member protruding from the housing is passed through the large hole of the housing opening, and the holding member is slid to the small hole side. If it does, a housing and a cartridge will be couple | bonded and a housing will be in a holding state. When the holding member is positioned on the large hole side, the holding is released and one of the housings can be separated. There is a configuration in which such a holding unit is applied to a member of a transfer unit and the holding member is integrated with a transfer member (see, for example, Patent Documents 3 and 4).
[0007]
Or there exists what integrated the transfer part cover and the holding means (refer patent document 5). This is a transfer device that is provided with a lock cover that protects the transfer tape exposed through the transfer portion so that it can be moved back and forth, and a long claw extending in the edge direction is provided on one side edge in the longitudinal direction of the lock cover. In addition, the other side edge is provided with a short claw shorter than the long claw at a required position in the edge direction, and the long claw of the lock cover can be slid on either the case body or the case lid. A long claw groove is provided on the other side, and a short claw groove on which the short claw is slidably engaged is provided on the other side, and an insertion member for inserting the long claw and the short claw into the long / short claw groove is provided. The case body and the case lid are gripped and connected, and a notch for removing the nail is formed by opening a notch at the required position in the groove direction of the short claw groove with an opening width corresponding to the length of the short claw. It is provided.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional holding means and protective cover are integrated, and the protective cover is such that the long claw provided in the protective cover is slidably engaged with the long claw groove provided in the housing. Therefore, there is a problem that the protective cover is easily dropped from the housing after the housing is separated. Also, the protection position of the transfer part, the transfer position that exposes the transfer part, and the release position that releases the holding of the housing are arranged on the sliding line in the groove direction of the claw groove of the protective cover. There is a risk that the housing may be inadvertently separated while being in the holding release position even during movement. The present application solves such a problem.
[0010]
In a coating film transfer tool having a housing having a plurality of parts, first, the housing holding means needs to firmly hold each part. This is because if the holding force is weak, the housing is easily separated, and internal parts and cartridges are scattered from the housing due to the separation, and cannot be used. Next, the housing needs to be structured so that it can be easily released. In order to replace the internal parts of the housing and enable repeated use, or to disassemble the coating film transfer tool itself and make it possible to dispose of each member separately, the housing must be released easily. I must. Furthermore, in the coating film transfer tool in which the internal parts can be exchanged, it is necessary that the holding force and the operability are not deteriorated even by holding and releasing operations many times. This application provides the coating-film transfer tool which solves such a subject, and the holding mechanism of the housing.
[0011]
The protective cover of the transfer part needs to cover the transfer part or the exposed part of the transfer layer in order to prevent the occurrence of transfer failure and surrounding contamination. In order to prevent loss, it is desirable that the coating film transfer tool is not separated from the housing. In this case, it is further desirable that the protective cover fixed to the housing be fixed at a position that does not interfere with the transfer operation during transfer.
[0012]
The present application satisfies the performance required individually for the holding means of the housing and the protective cover of the transfer unit, and integrates the holding means and the protective cover to reduce the number of parts of the coating film transfer tool, An object of the present invention is to provide a housing holding mechanism and a coating film transfer tool to which the holding mechanism is applied.
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present application includes a separable housing, a transfer tape composed of a base material and a transfer coating film, a transfer tape feeding portion, a transfer portion of a coating film protruding from an opening of the housing, and a winding portion of the base material And a housing holding part, wherein the housing holding part includes a holding member and a holding member fitting guide hole provided on the housing, and the holding member slides on the guide hole. And a protrusion that rotates at a predetermined position and a housing holding piece. The housing holding member slides between the transfer portion protection position of the holding member fitting guide hole and the housing holding position, and is rotated by the protrusion of the housing holding member at the transfer portion protection position of the holding member fitting guide hole. Release the housing.
[0014]
The housing holding member has a bottom surface and side walls provided on both sides thereof, and one side wall has one end longer than the bottom surface and the other side wall, and one end longer than the bottom surface of the one side wall and the other side wall, The projection is held in the guide hole, and the holding member fitting guide hole provided in the housing is oval. The protrusion of the housing holding member is held in the guide hole. The housing holding member can be provided facing the opening of the housing.
[0015]
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The front view of the coating film transfer tool which is an Example of this invention was shown in FIG. The coating film transfer tool of FIG. 1 has a holding means facing the transfer portion.
[0017]
The present invention relates to a coating film transfer tool having a housing holding means composed of a plurality of parts. The housing is applied to a coating film transfer tool composed of at least two members. The two-membered member is used after mounting an internal part or a cartridge containing the internal part on one side of the housing, stacking the other part with a lid, and holding both housings so as not to be separated by a holding member. The built-in transfer tape is made by laminating a coating layer or adhesive layer on a thin paper or plastic film substrate, and the coating layer and adhesive layer are transferred to the paper surface, etc., so-called correction tape, marking tape, adhesive tape, etc. can do.
[0018]
The winding unit and the feeding unit include a driving unit having a reel and a spindle of the reel. An elongated tape-shaped transfer tape is wound around the reel of the feeding portion, and the transfer tape substrate after the coating film is transferred is wound around the reel of the winding portion. The feeding unit and the winding unit may be arranged side by side in the coating film transfer tool, or may be arranged in an overlapping manner. As the driving means for the feeding unit and the winding unit, a mechanism for interlocking a rotating object such as a gear or a pulley is used. In order to synchronize the rotation of the feeding part and the winding part, a sliding mechanism using an O-ring or the like can be used. The driving means and the rotation synchronizing means can be selected in appropriate combination.
[0019]
The transfer portion is provided so as to protrude from the housing in order to transfer the transfer tape to a transfer surface such as a paper surface. The shape of the transfer portion is not particularly limited as long as the transfer tape can be transferred onto the transfer surface, and can be appropriately selected depending on the type of the transfer tape, such as a pointed substantially triangular prism, a spatula-like plate, or a roller. The transfer unit can be provided with a tape guide plate for stabilizing the running of the transfer tape.
[0020]
Each of the internal parts may be disposed in the housing, or a part or all of the internal parts may be held on a cartridge or a holder. Even if the internal parts are replaceable, the internal transfer tape may be used up and not reused. Internal parts can be replaced either by replacing each internal part as it is, or even if the internal part is detachably held on a holder plate and the holder plate is removed after mounting the internal part. It may be a method of replacing the fixed cartridge.
[0021]
The housing holding means includes a housing holding member including a guide hole provided on the housing, a protrusion held in the guide hole, and a housing holding piece. The housing holding member has a bottom surface and side walls provided on both sides of the housing, and one side wall of the housing holding member is longer than the bottom surface and the other side wall, and has one side wall longer than the bottom surface and the other side wall. It is necessary to have a shape provided with a protrusion held in the provided guide hole. The shape of the side wall may be any shape as long as it can hold and hold the housing. The housing holding member slides between the holding release ready position and the housing holding position along the guide hole of the housing, and at the holding release ready position and the holding release position, the housing holding member rotates around the protrusion and shifts. In the holding release ready position, the holding member still holds the housing, and the holding is released only when the holding member rolls to the holding release position. Therefore, the side wall on which the protrusion of the holding member is not provided needs to have a shape that sandwiches the housing together with the side wall on which the protrusion is provided, even at the holding release position.
[0022]
The holding means may be provided at a location where the housing can be clamped, but it is preferable that the holding means is provided at a position where the holding member does not overlap the housing at the holding release ready position. By providing at such a position, the holding member can be rotated by holding one end of the bottom surface of the holding member, and the holding can be easily released with a smaller force. In the housing holding position, it is preferable that the entire side wall of the holding member is provided at a position overlapping the surface of the housing. Since the entire holding member overlaps the housing surface, it is difficult to grasp the starting point for rotating the holding member, and rotation of holding release other than the holding release preparation position can be prevented.
[0023]
When the holding means and the protective cover of the transfer portion are integrated, the holding release preparation position becomes the transfer portion protective position. In this case, the holding member needs to be provided facing the transfer portion. Further, the holding member needs to have a shape covering the transfer portion or the exposed transfer layer.
[0024]
The protrusion of the holding member needs to have a shape that can slide and rotate the holding member fitting guide hole on the housing. For example, by forming the projection in a cylindrical shape and providing a claw for the guide hole at the tip, the holding member can be engaged with the housing with only the holding member without dropping from the housing. A knob or a protrusion can be provided on the bottom surface of the holding member to facilitate the sliding operation.
[0025]
The holding member fitting guide hole provided in the housing may have a shape that slides and rotates the protrusion of the holding member. A recess along the shape of the side wall can be provided in a portion where the side wall having the protrusion of the holding member on the housing overlaps. At the housing holding position, the end fits into the recess of the housing, and the holding can be prevented from being inadvertently rotated about the shaft to be released. In order to position and hold the separated housing more firmly, an engagement claw may be provided on one housing, and a claw receiving groove may be provided on the other side in parallel with the guide hole.

【The invention's effect】
The present application satisfies the performance required individually for the holding means of the housing and the protective cover of the transfer section, and integrates the holding means and the protective cover to reduce the number of parts of the coating film transfer tool, thereby saving resources. Further, it is possible to provide a housing holding mechanism and a coating film transfer tool to which the holding mechanism is applied, which realizes cost reduction. Further, the holding release ready position and the housing holding position are shifted by sliding, and the transfer portion protection position and the holding releasing position are shifted by rotation, so that it is possible to prevent the holding member from inadvertently shifting to the holding release position. it can.
