Description

  In the present invention, the coating film for correction or paste applied to the transfer tape fed from the supply reel is applied to the paper surface or the like by holding it by hand and moving it backward while pressing the paper surface or the like. The present invention relates to a film transfer tool to be transferred.

  When using the coating film transfer tool, if the front end of the transfer head that is pressed against the paper surface cannot be rotated relative to the case, if the case is tilted slightly, the front end of the transfer head The entire surface cannot be contacted, and only a part of the coating film is transferred, making it difficult to perform a good transfer operation. For this reason, there has been proposed one in which the front end of the transfer head is rotatable with respect to the case within a predetermined range around its axis (for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, the coating film transfer tool (transfer device) described in Patent Document 1 is held by the center portion of the transfer head (crimping blade) in the front-rear direction being sandwiched between holders extending from both inner side walls of the case. Therefore, there are the following problems. That is, the transfer head is formed of a soft synthetic resin that can be elastically deformed so as not to damage the paper surface. When the transfer head is held at the center in the front-rear direction, the front end of the transfer head is pressed against the paper surface. The transfer head is bent in the left-right direction or the like due to the force applied to the case. For this reason, the force applied to the case may not be sufficiently transmitted as a pressing force to the paper surface or the like, and the coating film may not be transferred to a desired position on the paper surface or the like. In addition, the transfer head formed of a soft synthetic resin slides with respect to the holder in a case formed of a hard synthetic resin, and thus is easily worn.

  On the other hand, in the state of use, a coating film transfer tool has been proposed in which the vicinity of the front end of the transfer head is held by a cylindrical cap attached to the front end opening of the case (for example, Patent Document 2).

  In the coating film transfer tool described in Patent Document 2, the pressing force to the paper surface or the like is transmitted well, however, the cylindrical cap is fixed to the case so as not to rotate in use. When the case is tilted, the front end of the transfer head cannot come into full contact with the paper surface or the like, making it difficult to perform a good transfer operation.

Further, even when the cylindrical cap is not in use when the transfer head is covered with the cylindrical cap, the cylindrical cap rotates, so that the transfer tape may be twisted.
