Description

  The present invention relates to a transfer tool.

Conventionally, as a transfer tool for transferring a transfer material detachably attached to one side of a tape to a transfer target surface such as paper, a transfer head is attached to the transfer tool body so as to be rotatable around its axis, and transfer work There is known a mode in which the inclination of the transfer tool main body at the time is absorbed by rotation around the axis of the transfer head so that the entire leading edge of the transfer head can come into contact with the transfer target surface (for example, see Patent Document 1). .
Utility Model Registration No. 2607725

  However, when the transfer head is attached to the transfer tool main body so as to be rotatable only about the axis, the tilt of the transfer tool main body during the transfer operation can be absorbed by the rotation about the axis of the transfer head. Since the axial direction of the transfer head relative to the tool body does not change, when the tip edge is pressed against the transfer target surface, only one side of the tip edge contacts the transfer target surface, and the other side floats from the transfer target surface. Therefore, a phenomenon that the transferred material passing through the tip edge on the floating side cannot be transferred to the transfer target surface, or the entire tip edge of the head is in contact with the transfer target surface, but one side and the other of the tip edge are in contact with each other. The pressure on the transfer target surface is not uniform between the transfer target surface and the transfer product passing through the leading edge can be transferred to the transfer target surface. It caused a phenomenon that is peeled off to. When such a so-called “one-sided” phenomenon occurs, even if the pressing force is continuously applied without changing the holding posture of the transfer tool body, the one-sided phenomenon is not eliminated and a transfer defect is caused.

  As described above, in the conventional transfer tool, when the one-side phenomenon occurs when the leading edge of the transfer head is pressed against the transfer target surface, the holding posture of the transfer tool main body is changed to the entire leading edge of the transfer head. The posture must be consciously changed to the posture that hits the transfer target surface, resulting in inconvenience that the operability and practicality are poor.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such a problem, and the main purpose of the present invention is to always transfer the entire leading edge of the transfer head to the transfer target surface when the leading edge of the transfer head is pressed against the transfer target surface. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transfer tool that prevents the occurrence of transfer failure due to a one-side phenomenon by making contact and making the pressure of the entire leading edge against the transfer target surface substantially equal.

That is, the transfer tool of the present invention is for transferring a transfer material that is releasably attached to one side of a tape to a transfer target surface such as a paper surface, and the transfer tool body and the tape are folded back at the leading edge. And a transfer head that transfers the transferred material to the transfer target surface by bringing the tip edge into contact with the transfer target surface, and the transfer head is integrated with the tip edge of the entire transfer head or the transfer head. head body having a can, wherein are those capable neck oscillation operation in the width direction of the tape, and to set the neck generating shafts which is the center axis of the neck oscillation operation at a position displaced proximally from said leading edge The entire transfer head capable of swinging in the width direction of the tape or the swinging member which is the head main body, the axial direction of the swinging member, and the axis of the support member that supports the swinging member so as to swing The direction is almost the same An elastic urging mechanism for self-returning to a standing position, and the elastic urging mechanism abuts on both side edges of the oscillating member when the oscillating member is positioned at the neutral position; Providing a pair of elastically deforming portions that are elastically deformed while accumulating an urging force that is pressed by the swinging member to return to the neutral position when the swinging member swings in the width direction of the tape. It is characterized by being.

  Here, from the above wording, the member capable of swinging in the present invention may be either “the entire transfer head” or “the head main body integrally including the tip edge of the transfer head”. It is obvious. Further, when the member capable of swinging operation is “a head body integrally including the leading edge of the transfer head”, the leading edge of the head body is the leading edge of the transfer head.

  If this is the case, even if the so-called “one-sided” phenomenon described above may occur when the leading edge is pressed against the transfer target surface, the pressing force remains unchanged without changing the holding posture of the transfer tool body. Is applied to the entire width of the tape so that the entire transfer head or the main body of the transfer head integrally having the leading edge is substantially parallel to the transfer target surface. As a result, the entire tip edge can be brought into contact with the transfer target surface, and the entire tip edge can be pressed against the transfer target surface with substantially uniform pressure. As a result, the phenomenon of one piece does not occur and the transfer operation can be suitably performed.

  As described above, the transfer tool of the present invention can change the axial direction of “the entire transfer head” with respect to the transfer tool body or “the main body of the transfer head having the leading edge integrally”. Occurrence of a piece-by-piece phenomenon, which could not be solved by a conventional transfer tool configured to be rotatable only around, is prevented, and it is highly practical to hardly cause transfer failure.

  In addition, since the oscillation shaft is set at a position displaced from the leading edge of the transfer head to the proximal end side, the leading edge is compared with the aspect in which the oscillation shaft of the head body is set to the leading edge of the head body. When the transfer tool is slid in the transfer direction with the tip edge pressed once against the transfer target surface, the tip edge side positively rotates so as to follow the transfer target surface. Therefore, when the transfer tool is slid in the transfer direction with the tip edge once pressed against the transfer target surface, there is no need to positively rotate the transfer tool main body side directly held by the user. Even if the user is not conscious of this posture, the entire leading edge of the transfer head can be brought into contact with the transfer target surface, and the operability is excellent.

  In particular, when the transfer head is held in a posture inclined with respect to the transfer target surface, which is a standard transfer posture, the entire transfer head or the head body is a virtual surface substantially orthogonal to the transfer target surface. When the head body is held in a standard transfer posture, the swing axis becomes substantially parallel to the transfer target surface when the head body is held in a standard transfer posture. Even if the parallel relationship between the transfer target surface and the leading edge of the transfer head can be disrupted by turning back, etc., the “transfer head as a whole” or the “head body integrally having the leading edge of the transfer head” is transferred. Since the head swings smoothly around the swing axis that is approximately parallel to the target surface, the parallel relationship between the tip edge and the transfer target surface can be maintained, and the entire tip edge is always stable on the transfer target surface. By contacting in the state That.

  Further, a support member for supporting the swinging member, which is the entire transfer head or the head main body capable of swinging in the width direction of the tape, in the axial direction of the swinging member and the swinging member so as to be able to swing. If an elastic biasing mechanism is provided for self-returning to the neutral position where the axial direction is substantially coincident, the transfer is performed when the next transfer operation is performed or when the transfer head is covered with a head cap when not in use. An external operation such as picking the head and returning it to the neutral position becomes unnecessary.

  As a preferred embodiment of the elastic biasing mechanism, when the swinging member is positioned at the neutral position, the swinging member is in contact with or close to both side edges of the swinging member, and the swinging member has a width of the tape. A mode provided with a pair of elastically deforming portions that elastically deform while accumulating an urging force that is pressed by the swinging member to return to the neutral position when the head is swung in a direction. With such a configuration, the elastic biasing mechanism can be realized with a simple configuration, and when the operating force for swinging operation stops, the swinging member is brought to the neutral position by the biasing force of the elastic deformation portion. Self-recovery can be accurately performed. In addition, when the swinging member is positioned at the neutral position, the pair of elastically deforming portions abut or approach each side edge of the swinging member. The member can be stably held in the neutral position.

  In this case, if the elastic deformation portion is provided integrally with the support member, it is possible to effectively simplify the number of parts, and the elastic deformation portion is separate from the support member. In comparison, the work of assembling the elastic support portion to the support member can be omitted, which contributes to simplification of the assembly man-hour.

  Further, when the entire transfer head capable of swinging in the width direction of the tape or a swing member which is the head main body of the transfer head presses the leading edge against the transfer target surface, A pressing portion having a substantially partial arc-shaped pressing surface capable of pressing a substantially partial arc-shaped pressed surface provided on a support member that supports the member in a swingable manner, and the pressing portion is the pressing surface If the oscillating member is allowed to oscillate by sliding along an arc-shaped trajectory while guiding it to the pressed surface, the oscillating operation of the oscillating member becomes stable, Smooth swing motion can be realized.

  As a preferred embodiment, the transfer head includes the head main body and a head attaching portion for attaching the head main body to the transfer tool main body, and the oscillation member is the head main body. In addition, an aspect in which the support member is the head mounting portion, an aspect in which the vibration member is the entire transfer head, and an aspect in which the support member is the transfer tool main body are included.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the front end edge of the transfer head is pressed against the transfer target surface, the entire front end edge of the transfer head always contacts the transfer target surface, and the entire front end edge with respect to the transfer target surface The pressing force is substantially uniform, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of transfer failure due to the phenomenon of one piece.

And a hook portion 313b that can be caught in the hole 322c. The hook portion 313b extends forward and rearward from the upper end portion of the insertion portion 313a, and the downward surface 313c has a partial arc shape. The center of this arc is substantially coincident with the center point X of the arc of the pressing surface 312a. In the present embodiment, each hook portion 313b has a tapered shape with a gradually decreasing thickness dimension from the downward surface 313c upward.

  The head main body 31 of this embodiment is formed by integrally forming a main body portion 311, a pressing portion 312 and a retaining portion 313.

  On the other hand, the head mounting portion 32 includes a mounting portion main body 321 having a support shaft insertion hole 321a into which a support shaft 2A (see FIGS. 1 to 3) provided in the transfer tool main body 2 can be inserted, and a head that supports the head main body 31. And a main body support portion 322. In the present embodiment, the attachment portion main body 321 and the head main body support portion 322 are integrally formed.

  The attachment portion main body 321 has a substantially prismatic shape, and a support shaft insertion hole 321a is formed in the base end portion. In the present embodiment, it is set so that the head mounting portion 32 can rotate around the axis with respect to the transfer tool body 2 in a state where the support shaft 2A of the transfer tool body 2 is inserted into the support shaft insertion hole 321a. Yes.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 11 and the like, the head main body support portion 322 includes a storage portion 322a that opens downward and can store a base end side region of the main body portion 311 of the head main body 31, and a storage portion 322a. An insertion hole 322c that penetrates the upper wall portion 322b in the thickness direction and into which the retaining portion 313 of the head body 31 can be inserted is provided. The insertion hole 322c has a tapered shape in which the opening size is gradually increased downward, so that the insertion operation of the retaining portion 313 with respect to the insertion hole 322c can be easily performed. Then, the retaining portion 313 is inserted from below the insertion hole 322c, and the hook portion 313b of the retaining portion 313 is hooked on the upward surface 322bX of the upper wall portion 322b, thereby supporting the head body 31 on the head mounting portion 32. Can be attached so that it cannot be removed. In the present embodiment, the upward surface 322bX and the downward surface 322bY of the upper wall portion 322b are formed in a partial arc shape. The center points of the arcs of the upper surface 322bX and the lower surface 322bY of the upper wall portion 322b are substantially coincident with the center point X of the arc of the pressing surface 312a, and the head body 31 is attached to the head mounting portion 32 so that it cannot be pulled out. In the attached state, the center points of the arcs of the pressing surface 312a, the downward surface 313c of the hook portion 313b, the upward surface 322bX and the downward surface 322bY of the upper wall portion 322b can be substantially matched. In the attached state, at least one of the pressing surface 312a or the downward surface 313c of the hook portion 313b and at least one of the upward surface 322bX or the downward surface 322bY of the upper wall portion 322b are in contact with each other. The head main body 31 swings in the width direction of the tape T with the center point X as the swing axis A. In this embodiment, when the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 is pressed against the transfer target surface P, the pressing surface 312a abuts on the downward surface 322bY of the upper wall portion 322b (see FIG. 10), and the transfer head 3 When the leading edge 31T is separated from the transfer target surface P, the downward surface 313c of the hook portion 313b can come into contact with the upward surface 322bX of the upper wall portion 322b by the weight of the transfer head 3 (see FIG. 7). That is, the downward surface 322bY of the upper wall portion 322b is the “pressed surface” of the present invention that is pressed against the pressing surface 312a of the pressing portion 312 when the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 is pressed against the transfer target surface P. Function. On the other hand, the upward surface 322bX of the upper wall portion 322b functions as a support surface that supports the retaining portion 313.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6, 8, and 9, the tip portion of the head body support portion 322 is formed in a substantially V shape with a gradually decreasing width dimension toward the tip, The head main body 31 that oscillates with respect to the portion 32 is prevented from interfering with the distal end portion of the head main body support portion 322. An opening 322d that opens forward and upward is formed above the upper wall 322b, and the upper end of the retaining portion 313 is placed in the opening 322d in a state where the head main body 31 is attached to the head attachment 32. Positioned. Furthermore, an upper projecting portion 322e and a lower projecting portion 322f that project upward and downward from other regions are provided on both side edges of the head main body support portion 322, and these upper projecting portion 322e and lower projecting portion 322f are used during the transfer operation. The tape T is prevented from coming off in the width direction. On both side surfaces of the head main body support portion 322, outward projecting portions 322g that can be elastically engaged with recesses formed in the head cap HC are provided.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the transfer tool 1 according to the present embodiment performs transfer when the head main body 31 is held in a standard transfer posture that is inclined with respect to the transfer target surface P. The swing axis A set at a position away from the tip edge 31T of the head 3 is substantially parallel to the transfer target surface P, and the transfer head 3 moves the swing axis A along the virtual surface V substantially orthogonal to the transfer target surface P. It is designed to swing at the center. The head body 31 has a neutral position (N) (see FIGS. 6 and 11) in which the axial direction 31A and the axial direction 32A of the head mounting portion 32 substantially coincide with each other, and the head mounting portion from the neutral position (N). Between the first swing position (S1) (see FIGS. 8 and 12) and the second swing position (S2) (see FIGS. 9 and 13) rotated clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to 32 It is possible to swing.

  Further, the transfer tool 1 according to the present embodiment includes an elastic urging mechanism 4 for self-returning the head body 31 capable of swinging with respect to the head mounting portion 32 to the neutral position (N).

  When the head main body 31 is positioned at the neutral position (N), the elastic urging mechanism 4 is in contact with or close to the side edge of the head main body 31, and when the head main body 31 swings, It is provided with an elastic deformation portion 41 that is elastically deformed while accumulating an urging force that is pressed and returned to the neutral position (N). In the present embodiment, the elastic deformation portion 41 is formed integrally with the head mounting portion 32. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, second openings 322 i that open outward are formed on the outward surfaces of the side wall portions 322 h of the housing portion 322 a, and each second opening 322 i is formed. A hanging piece that hangs downward from the upper wall portion 322j is made to function as the elastic deformation portion 41. The lower end portion of each elastic deformation portion 41 is a free end, and when the head main body 31 is in the neutral position (N), the base portion 311 of the head main body 31 is located near the lower end portion of the elastic deformation portion 41. It is set so that the vicinity of the end edge 311g can come into contact with or be close to. Then, when the head body 31 is rotated from the neutral position (N) to the first swing position (S1) or the second swing position (S2), one of the elastic deformation portions 41 is pressed against the head body 31. The elastic deformation portion 41 accumulates while elastically returning when the leading edge 31T of the head body 31 is separated from the transfer target surface P while accumulating the urging force for returning to the neutral position (N). The head body 31 is pushed back to the neutral position (N) by the force. In this embodiment, when the head main body 31 is rotated from the neutral position (N) to the first swing position (S1) or the second swing position (S2), the base end edge 311g of the main body 311 is used. Struck the side wall portion 322h of the head body support portion 322, thereby further restricting the rotation of the head body 31 in the same direction (see FIGS. 12 and 13).

  Next, an operation method and an operation of the transfer tool 1 will be described while paying attention to such a transfer head 3.

  The tip edge 31T of the head body 31 is pressed against the transfer target surface P while the transfer head 3 is held in the standard transfer posture. The head main body 31 is positioned at the neutral position (N) by the action of the elastic biasing mechanism 4 until immediately before the leading edge 31T of the head main body 31 is pressed against the transfer target surface P. When the leading edge 31T of the head main body 31 is pressed against the transfer target surface P, the leading edge 31T of the head main body 31 is transferred to the transfer target surface due to a slight inclination of the transfer target surface P, the holding posture of the transfer tool main body 2, and the like. In the case where only one side of the leading edge 31T of the head main body 31 can hit the transfer target surface P without being parallel to P, the transfer head 3 has the swing axis A set at a position separated from the leading edge 31T. The tape is rotated in the width direction of the tape T from the neutral position (N) toward the first swing position (S1) or the second swing position (S2). Specifically, based on the operating force that presses the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 against the transfer target surface P, the pressing surface 312a of the pressing portion 312 is the downward surface of the upper wall portion 322b, which is the pressed surface. In a state where 322bY is pressed, it is guided to the downward surface 322bY, and the pressing portion 312 slides along an arcuate locus about the oscillation axis A. As a result, the head edge 31T of the head body 31 is swung to a position where it is substantially parallel to the transfer target surface P, and the entire tip edge 31T is pressed in a state of being in horizontal contact with the transfer target surface P. Then, with the entire leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 pressed against the transfer target surface P, the transfer tool 1 is slid along the predetermined transfer direction to pull out the tape T wound around the supply reel R1. The drawing reel R1 is rotated by the pulling operation force, and the take-up reel R2 is rotated through the reel transmission mechanism by the rotating operation of the feeding reel R1. Then, when the tape T folds the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3, the transferred material attached to one surface of the tape T is transferred to the transfer target surface P. Usually, when performing the transfer operation by sliding the transfer tool 1 along an arbitrary transfer direction, if the operation force for pressing the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 against the transfer target surface P is continuously applied, the transfer target surface P itself Is inclined slightly or when the wrist is turned over, only one side of the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 preferentially hits the transfer target surface P, and the other side floats from the transfer target surface P. The transfer object passing through the leading edge 31T cannot be transferred to the transfer target surface P, or the entire leading edge 31T is in contact with the transfer target surface P, but the transfer target surface is on one side and the other side of the leading edge 31T. Since the pressure with respect to P is different, a phenomenon that the transferred material transferred to the transfer target surface P is easily peeled off (so-called one-side phenomenon) may occur. However, in the transfer head 3 according to the present embodiment, the head body 31 swings in the width direction of the tape T with respect to the head mounting portion 32, and therefore the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 is used as the transfer target surface P. By continuing to apply the pressing operation force, the head body 31 swings about the oscillation axis A so that the leading edge 31 is substantially parallel to the transfer target surface P, and the leading edge of the transfer head 3 The entire 31T can always be pressed against the transfer target surface P, and the entire tip edge 31T can be pressed against the transfer target surface with substantially uniform pressure.

  Further, when the operation force for pressing the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 against the transfer target surface P is stopped, that is, when the leading edge 31T of the transfer head 3 is separated from the transfer target surface P, the elastic urging mechanism 4 is used. As a result, the transfer head 3 self-returns to the neutral position (N).

  As described above, the transfer tool 1 according to the present embodiment has the head main body 31 capable of swinging in the width direction of the tape T. Therefore, when the leading edge 31T of the head main body 31 is pressed against the transfer target surface P. Further, the head main body 31 swings so that the front end edge 31 is substantially parallel to the transfer target surface P, whereby the entire front end edge 31 can be pressed almost uniformly against the transfer target surface P. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of transfer failure due to the one-side phenomenon. In addition, since the oscillation axis A is set at a position displaced from the distal end edge 31T toward the proximal end, the distal end edge 31T of the head body 31 becomes a free rotation end, and the distal end edge 31T is once pressed against the transfer target surface P. When the transfer tool 1 is slid in the transfer direction in this state, the tip end 31 side of the head body 31 is actively rotated so as to follow the transfer target surface P. Therefore, when the transfer tool 1 is slid in the transfer direction with the tip edge 31T pressed against the transfer target surface P, there is no need to positively rotate the transfer tool body 2 side directly held by the user. Even if the user is not conscious of the posture of the transfer tool main body 2, the entire leading edge 31T of the head main body 31 can be brought into contact with the transfer target surface P, and the operability and practicality are excellent.

  In particular, when the transfer head 3 is held in a posture inclined with respect to the transfer target surface P which is a standard transfer posture, the head body 31 vibrates along the virtual surface V substantially orthogonal to the transfer target surface P. Therefore, by performing the transfer operation in a state where the head main body 31 is held in a standard transfer posture, the swing axis A becomes substantially parallel to the transfer target surface P, and the head main body 31 is The tip edge 31T can be smoothly oscillated in a virtual plane V substantially orthogonal to the transfer target surface P so that the tip edge 31T is parallel to the transfer target surface P. It is possible to make an exact contact.

  Further, since the elastic urging mechanism 4 for self-returning the head main body 31 to the neutral position (N) is provided, the head main body 31 remains swung and does not self-return to the neutral position (N). In comparison, when the next transfer operation is performed or when the transfer head 3 is covered with the head cap HC when not in use, the user does not need to pick the head body 31 and return it to the neutral position (N). It will be easy to use.

  In addition, when the elastic urging mechanism 4 positions the head main body 31 at the neutral position (N), the head main body 31 abuts or approaches the both side edges of the head main body 31, respectively. Since it has a pair of elastic deformation portions 41 that elastically deform while accumulating an urging force that is pressed by the head main body 31 to return to the neutral position (N) when the vibration is performed, the elastic urging force is simply configured. The mechanism 4 can be realized, and when the operation force for pressing the tip edge 31T of the head body 31 against the transfer target surface P is stopped, the head body 31 is moved to the neutral position (N) by the urging force of the elastic deformation portion 41. Can be self-recovered accurately. In addition, when the head main body 31 is positioned at the neutral position (N), the pair of elastic deformation portions 41 are in contact with or close to both side edges of the head main body 31, respectively. The vibration operation can be suppressed and the head body 31 can be held in a stable state at the neutral position (N).

  In the present embodiment, since the elastic deformation portion 41 is provided integrally with the head mounting portion 32, simplification of the number of parts can be achieved effectively, and the assembly man-hour can also be simplified.

  Further, when the head main body 31 capable of swinging in the width direction of the tape T presses the leading edge 31T against the transfer target surface P, the head main body 31 is provided in the head attachment portion 32 that supports the head main body 31 so as to be able to swing. A pressing portion 312 having a substantially partial arc-shaped pressing surface 312a capable of pressing a partial arc-shaped pressed surface (downward surface 322bY of the upper wall portion 322b) is provided, and the pressing portion 312 is a pressing surface 312a. Since the head main body 31 is swung along the arc-shaped locus while being guided by the pressed surface (the lower surface 322bY of the upper wall portion 322b), the head main body 31 is swung. The stability of the swing motion is improved, and a smooth swing motion can be realized.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described in detail above.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the transfer head includes a head body and a head mounting portion, and the head body functions as a “swing member” capable of swinging, and the head mounting portion supports the swing member. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an embodiment in which the entire transfer head can swing with respect to the transfer tool main body may be employed. In this case, the entire transfer head functions as the “oscillation member” of the present invention, and the transfer tool main body functions as the “support member” of the present invention. The transfer tool itself may not be a refill type that can refill the transfer tool body with a tape or the like, but may be a disposable type that cannot refill the transfer tool body with a tape or the like.

  Further, when the elastic biasing mechanism positions the swinging member in the neutral position, the elastic biasing mechanism does not contact the swinging member, and only when the swinging member swings in the width direction of the tape. An elastic deformation part (for example, a coil spring, rubber, or the like) that elastically deforms while accumulating an urging force that returns to the neutral position by being pressed by contact may be provided. Furthermore, the elastically deformable portion may be separate from the support member.

  In addition, the elastically deforming portion is provided integrally or integrally with the vibration member, and when the vibration member swings in the width direction of the tape, it returns to the neutral position by being pressed against the support member. It may be elastically deformed while accumulating the urging force to be accumulated.

  Of course, a pressure-sensitive adhesive or an adhesive may be applied as the transfer product.

  In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
