Description

  The present invention relates to a tape winder, and in particular, to an improvement in a winder that can easily wind and store or pull out a bondable tape (trade name: Velcro) that can be easily joined and peeled off. .

  For example, as a tape winder such as a cloth tape or a metal tape, a tape measure that can be taken in and out of a case is typical. It has a structure that can connect a winding spring, store the spring force (winding energy) when pulling out the tape to this spring, and automatically wind it while releasing the winding energy when storing this tape. Generally used.

For example, as described in Patent Document 1, this winder opens a narrow guide opening enough to allow the tape to be put in and out of the circumferential surface of the circular case, and the end of the tape is connected to the case. It is fixed to the shaft supported at the center. Patent Document 2 proposes a shaft having a double structure in order to store sufficient winding energy.
JP-A-11-295001 Registered Utility Model No. 3020105

  The tape measure described in Patent Document 1 makes it possible to stably apply braking to the tape by bringing a brake shoe into contact with the periphery of the disc in a wedge shape in the braking operation portion. However, the end of the tape is fixed to the winding shaft, and the tape and the case cannot be separated.

  In addition, the shaft structure of the tape measure described in Patent Document 2 is configured so that the shaft can be held in a double structure for a long time in a state where the bending energy of the shaft is increased and the winding energy of the tape is accumulated. is there. In the case of this tape measure, the end of the tape is fixed to the shaft inside the case, and the tape and the case cannot be used separately as described above.

On the other hand, the adhesive tape sold under the name of “Magic Tape” (registered trademark of Kuraray Co., Ltd.) was once completely protected by a basic patent, combining a fine hook with a pile that engages it. In addition, it employs a new engagement mechanism, and can be joined instantly and has extremely strong resistance to peeling, but it is easy and convenient to separate the joints.

  However, since this bonding tape was a remarkably expensive material, when it is used, the tape is cut into small pieces, and each piece is fixed to, for example, the mouth of a bag or the opening / closing portion of clothing. The opening / closing part was easily opened and closed. However, as this patent right expired, each company offered various products to the market at a low price.

  This bonding tape may be sold, for example, as having a width of 7 to 15 mm and a length of 1 to 2 m. As a method of using this, for example, small items such as a bag move on a chair of an automobile, are gathered so that they do not scatter, or are fixed to a fixed object such as a backrest. And the disassembly operation can be made extremely simple. Since this adhesive tape does not require a stringing operation like a string, it has recently become a play tool for children.

  Since this bonding tape has the property of being bonded instantaneously, if it is wound in a spiral shape to bundle it cleanly, it has strong adhesion, so if it is not wrapped around the core fairly carefully, In many cases, the tape sticks out in the width direction and is not laminated beautifully. Therefore, the winding of the bonding tape is extremely troublesome for people and children who are not accustomed to handling. From such a background, there has been a demand for an apparatus or a case for processing the adhesive tape, but a device having a necessary function has not been provided to the market.

  Therefore, the present inventor used a case of the tape measure and studied a method of using this as it is, but when all of the bonding tape is pulled out from the case, it can be wound into the original state again. It was difficult to adopt this structure at all.

  The problem is that the bonding tape quickly and strongly bonds (attaches). Moreover, the tape has a rounded ridge, and therefore, even if it is left alone, it has a property of becoming a natural dango shape. Therefore, it is impossible to wind this ridged tape neatly in a spiral shape. Also, when this type of tape is stored in a case like a tape measure, and all of this is unwound from the case and used, even if you try to rewind the used one in the case, the conventional tape measure Such a manipulation cannot be performed at all with a winder used for the above.

  This problem is that the conventional tape measure does not need to handle an adhesive tape, and after the entire tape is taken out from the case and used, it cannot be fixed again to the winding shaft supported at the center of the case. Due to

  An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus capable of eliminating the disadvantages of the conventional tape winder such as a tape measure and easily fixing the end of the adhesive tape to a reel (winding shaft). It is another object of the present invention to provide a winder capable of winding a reel by rotating a fingertip when a spiral spring is completely opened and winding energy is completely lost. To do.

  The tape winder according to the present invention is configured as follows.
