Description

  The present invention relates to a delivery core in which a transfer tape having a coating film coated on a long belt-shaped substrate that has been used is wound, and a winding core that winds up the substrate of the transfer tape sent from the delivery core; The present invention relates to a holder and a transfer tool that can be safely, easily and surely refilled with a new one.

  Winding a delivery core with a transfer tape coated with a coating film on a long strip of base material, and the remaining base material with the coating film transferred to the transfer medium out of the transfer tape delivered from this delivery core A take-up core, and when the base material is completely taken up by the take-up core and the use is completed, the delivery core and the take-up core used so far are taken out of the casing, and are formed into a flat plate shape. There is known a so-called refill type transfer tool for refilling a new delivery core and a take-up core arranged in a holder.

In this type (refill type) transfer tool, the following Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 have been known as a technique for mounting a member to be refilled on the housing side, that is, as a document related to the present application.
JP 2001-213493 A JP-A-6-286927

  Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for easily taking out a storage medium disc (for example, CD: Compact Disc) from a storage case in that only the holder is removed after refilling in the transfer tool.

  That is, Patent Document 1 discloses a disc formed on the outer edge portion of a tilting portion extending outward from a joining shaft that is bent in a direction to be pressed by a finger over the front and back directions of the CD and engaged with the center hole of the CD. This is a configuration having an engagement portion and a disc lift member extending outwardly with respect to the joining axis on the side opposite to the side where the tilting portion of the disc engagement portion is located.

  In Patent Document 1, when the joining shaft is held down by a finger, the joining shaft is bent in a valley shape, and the tilting portion is tilted about the joining shaft, and accordingly, the distance between the disk engaging portions is the center hole of the CD. The disk lift member pushes up the back side of the CD.

  Patent Document 2 discloses that the transfer tool and the take-up core are arranged in the holder and mounted on the housing in the transfer tool.

  That is, in Patent Document 2, a feeding core and a winding core are formed with a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion in order from the shaft end, and the holder is cut around a hole in which the feeding core and the winding core are mounted. A tongue piece that is elastically deformed in the front and back direction by forming the notch is formed.

  In Patent Document 2, when attaching the shafts of the delivery core and the winding core to the hole of the holder, the tongue piece is elastically deformed to get over the large diameter portion, and the tongue piece is elastically restored when reaching the small diameter portion. The large diameter portion and the tongue piece (inner peripheral portion of the hole) engage with each other.

  However, Patent Document 1 tilts so that the tilting member bends in a valley shape around the joining axis, and the distance between the disk engaging portions becomes smaller than the diameter of the center hole of the CD along with this. Since the member is configured to push up the back surface side of the CD, there is a problem that the finger is pinched by the valley-like bending of the tilting member (pressing the joining shaft).

  On the other hand, although Patent Document 2 discloses that the sending core and the winding core are mounted on the casing, the holder itself is also mounted on the casing and removed from the casing after the feeding core and the winding core are mounted. It is not configured. Here, when Patent Document 1 is adopted as Patent Document 2, the following new problem arises.

  Patent Document 2 has a hole in which a tongue piece is formed on the surface of the holder, and a small-diameter portion engages with the hole on the outer periphery of the shaft of the delivery core and the winding core. On the side, a gear shaft provided in the housing is inserted.

  That is, since the direction in which the holder is pushed when the sending core and the winding core are attached to the housing and the direction in which the gear shaft portion is inserted into the hole formed in the holder are contradictory, adopting the configuration of Patent Document 1 Since the gear shaft moves in a direction (for example, upward) opposite to the direction (for example, downward) in which the joint shaft is pressed with a finger, the tilting member does not tilt and the effect of Patent Document 1 cannot be obtained.

  If the joint shaft is pushed by the gear shaft and the joint shaft is bent in a mountain shape in the configuration of Patent Document 1, this time, the joint shaft protrudes from the surface of the holder to the operation side by the user, Inconveniences such as the joining axis sticking into the finger occur.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that Patent Document 1 has a configuration in which a finger that presses the joining shaft is sandwiched by a valley-shaped bend of the tilting member, and Patent Document 2 is configured to remove the holder from the housing. And when Patent Document 1 is adopted in Patent Document 2, the tilting member is not tilted, and the effects of the Patent Document 1 cannot be obtained, or the joint shaft is stuck in the finger. That is, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, it is possible to refill the take-up core and the take-up core safely and easily and reliably using a holder.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the holder of the present invention is provided with a hole centered on the shaft core in each of the delivery core and the winding core, and is tiltably provided on the inner periphery of the hole. A bent portion that is bent in the direction opposite to the direction in which the winding core is mounted on the housing, and the engagement between the feeding core and the winding core is released at the time of bending, and the feeding core and the winding core are engaged when not bent. An engaging bent portion provided with an engaging portion and a wall surface portion standing on the outer peripheral edge portion of the hole portion and having a height equal to or higher than the maximum bent height of the bent portion.

  In addition, the transfer tool of the present invention includes a rotating cylindrical portion that is inserted into the inner periphery of the delivery core and the winding core and that rotates in conjunction with the rotational power on the casing side, and a housing at a central portion of the rotating cylindrical portion. An extrusion column is provided on the inner surface of the body to bend the bent portion of the holder when the holder of the present invention is attached to the housing.

  When the feeding core and the winding core are attached to the transfer tool of the present invention using the holder according to the present invention, the following operational effects can be obtained. Since the holder has a hole and an engaging bent portion provided with a bent portion and an engaging portion, the feeding core and the winding core are fixedly arranged on the holder until refilling, that is, the holder, the feeding core and the winding core are fixed. The core can be handled integrally.

  In addition, the holder is stably (integrally) disposed on the holder by the engaging bend until the delivery core and the take-up core are mounted on the housing by the holder. Since the engagement between the delivery core and the take-up core and the holder is released at the time of attachment, the delivery core and the take-up core can be easily and surely attached to the housing, and The holder can be removed from the housing.

  The transfer tool is provided with an extrusion column on the inner surface of the casing at the central portion of the rotating cylindrical portion, so that when the holder is pushed in the mounting direction, the extrusion column relatively turns the bent portion into the casing. The bent portion can be bent by pushing in the direction opposite to the mounting direction.

  At this time, the bent portion that is bent by the extruded column protrudes from the hole portion of the holder, but the protruding portion from the hole portion when the bent portion is bent by the wall surface portion provided in the holder is the holder. Therefore, it is possible to safely mount the delivery core and the take-up core on the casing.

  When the bent portion is bent, the engagement between the holder, the delivery core, and the take-up core is disengaged, and the feed core and the take-up core move quickly to the housing side, so that only the holder can be easily moved. Can be removed.

  The present invention can be implemented by the embodiments shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 partially shows the transfer tool of the present invention. 2 and 3 show the holder of the present invention. FIG. 4 shows a situation immediately before mounting the (feeding core and the winding core) on the casing. FIG. 5 shows the situation immediately after mounting the (feeding core and) take-up core on the housing. FIG. 6 shows the (delivery core and) take-up core. FIG. 7 shows a rotating cylindrical part (winding side).

  In the following description, the configuration that characterizes the present invention is described with reference numerals, but the description, illustration, and reference numbers of other configurations are omitted. Further, in the drawings, in consideration of the point that it is difficult to see, partial cross-sectional hatching is omitted in FIGS.

  The transfer tool 1 shown in FIG. 1 removes the lid portion from the main body portion 2A in a housing 2 including a main body portion 2A and a lid portion (not shown) that can be removed from the main body portion 2A. In addition, a feeding core 21 wound with a transfer tape T coated with a coating film on a long belt-like base material that has been used, and a winding for winding up the base material of the transfer tape T sent out from the sending core 21 The state which took out the core 22 is shown.

  The transfer tool 1 of this example includes, for example, a main body portion 2A of a housing 2, a feed gear 3 that rotates a feed core 21, a take-up gear 4 that rotates a take-up core 22, and the feed gear 3 and the take-up gear. 4 and an intermediate gear 5 meshed with 4.

  In the state where the delivery core 21 and the take-up core 22 are mounted on the main body 2A side, the tip protrudes from the housing 2 in the middle of the transfer path of the transfer tape T from the feed core 21 to the take-up core 22. A transfer portion 6 is provided so as to do so.

  Further, the casing 2 is provided with a cover 7 that covers the transfer portion 6 when the transfer tool 1 is not used and exposes the transfer portion 6 when the transfer tool 1 is used, with the shaft 7a pivotally supported. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the cover 7 is disposed on the main body 2A side.

  The transfer tool 1 having the above-described configuration is further inserted into the inner periphery of the delivery core 21 and the take-up core 22, and the feed gear 3 and the take-up gear that are used as the rotational power of the feed core 21 and the take-up core 22. 4 has rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9 that rotate in conjunction with the rotation.

  In this example, the rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9 are provided with respect to the delivery gear 3 and the take-up gear 4, for example, and are pivotally supported and rotated by extrusion columns 10 and 11 described later. For example, a so-called slip mechanism is provided between the rotating cylindrical portion 8 and the delivery gear 3 (sending side), and the rotating cylindrical portion 9 and the winding gear 4 (winding side) are integrated. There may be.

  In this example, each of the rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9 has a predetermined axial width on the outer peripheral surface at the end in the direction in which the delivery gear 3 and the take-up gear 4 are positioned, and projects in the circumferential direction. Joint portions 8A and 9A are formed. The engaging portions 8A and 9A are engaged with mounting portions 21C and 22C formed on the inner periphery of a sending core 21 and a winding core 22 described later when mounting.

  In addition, each of the rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9 has a triangular shape in plan view at predetermined angular intervals on the outer peripheral surface, for example, four on the sending side and three on the winding side in the axial direction. Protruding rotation synchronization portions 8B and 9B are formed. The rotation synchronization portions 8B and 9B come into contact with locking portions 21B and 22B formed on the inner periphery of a delivery core 21 and a take-up core 22, which will be described later, at the time of mounting.

  The rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9, the engaging portions 8A and 9A, and the rotation synchronizing portions 8B and 9B represent the rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9 on the winding side (rotating cylindrical portion in FIG. 9).

  Further, the main body 2A of the housing 2 is located at the central portion of the delivery gear 8A, the take-up gear 9A, and the rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9, and pivotally supports them. Extruding columns 10 and 11 for bending bent portions 201Ba and 202Ba, which will be described later, of the holder when mounted on the holder 2 are provided. The extrusion columns 10 and 11 are higher than the axial height of the rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9 and lower than the width (thickness) of the housing 2.

  On the other hand, the holder 20 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is configured as follows. The holder 20 has a flat plate shape, and is arranged in a state where the transfer tape T is hung on the (new) delivery core 21 and the winding core 22 in advance.

  Here, the configuration of the sending core 21 and the winding core 22 arranged in the holder 20 will be described. In this example, the feeding core 21 and the winding core 22 protrude on the inner peripheral surface of the arrangement side end edge of the holder 20 in the center direction at a predetermined angular interval, for example, and the engagement bending portions 201B and 202B of the holder 20 described later. The fixing portions 21A and 22A that engage with the engaging portions 201Bb and 202Bb are formed.

  Further, the inner peripheral surface of the holder 20 on the side opposite to the arrangement side of the delivery core 21 and the winding core 22 is in contact with the rotation synchronization portions 8B and 9B of the rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9 on the housing 2 side. Thus, locking portions 21B and 22B that lock each other against movement in the circumferential direction are formed.

  The locking portions 21B and 22B are columnar members protruding in the axial length direction toward the center at a predetermined distance from the inner peripheral surfaces of the delivery core 21 and the take-up core 22, and the upper end portions thereof are It is combined with the inner peripheral surface. That is, the locking portions 21B and 22B can be elastically deformed in the outer diameter direction at the lower end portion by the distance from the inner peripheral surface.

  Further, in this example, the locking portions 21B and 22B are, for example, five locations on the sending side and four locations on the winding side, and the rotation synchronization portion 8B (four locations) no matter which circumferential position is attached to the housing 2. , 9B (3 places) immediately to prevent excessive play in rotation.

  In this example, mounting portions 21C and 22C are formed at the lower end portions of the locking portions 21B and 22B to be engaged with the engaging portions 8A and 9A of the rotating cylindrical portions 8 and 9 on the housing 2 side. Has been. The mounting portions 22C and 22C further protrude in the center direction on the center side surfaces of the locking portions 21B and 22B.

  In the present example, the mounting portions 21C and 22C exceed the engaging portions 8A and 9A due to the elastic deformation of the mounting portions 21C and 22C when mounted on the housing 2, and move upward and downward with the engaging portions 8A and 9A due to elastic restoration. Engage with. This prevents the delivery core 21 and the take-up core 22 from being easily detached from the housing 2.

  Note that the delivery core 21 and the winding core 22, the locking portions 21B and 22B, and the mounting portions 21C and 22C are representative of the delivery core 21 and the winding core 22, and the winding side (the winding core 21) in FIG. ).

  The holder 20 in which the feeding core 21 and the winding core 22 having the above-described configuration are arranged has the following configuration. In this example in which the holder 20 penetrates the front and back surfaces and the axes of the delivery core 21 and the take-up core 22 are in the center, for example, oval holes 201 and 202 and the transfer portion 6 when mounted on the housing 2. An insertion hole 20a into which a part is inserted is formed.

  On the surface of the fitting hole 20a on the side where the feeding core 21 and the winding core 22 are arranged, a latching portion 20b for hanging the transfer tape T on the holder 20 is provided upright. With the insertion hole 20a and the latching portion 20b, the transfer tape T can be hung on the transfer portion 6 simply by mounting the holder 20 on the housing 2 and then removing the holder 20 from the housing 2 later. This eliminates the trouble of putting the transfer tape T on the transfer portion 6 after the holder 20 is mounted on the housing 2.

  The coupling portions 201A (4 pieces) and 202A (4 pieces) are provided at four locations on the inner peripheral surfaces of the hole portions 201 and 202, in this example, for example, each of the oval hole portions 201 and 202, which are linear portions facing each other. Is provided. The coupling portions 201A and 202A are formed in a string shape in this example, and are coupled to bendable engagement portions 201B and 202B, which will be described later, to the hole portions 201 and 202 in a tiltable manner.

  The engaging bent portions 201B and 202B have the following configuration. In addition, it demonstrates on behalf of the engagement bending part 202B (winding side). As shown in FIGS. 4B and 5B, the engagement bent portion 202B is a member that is substantially concave in a side view (cross section), and is located at the center position of the central horizontal portion of the concave. A bent portion 202Ba is formed.

  When the holder 20 is mounted on the housing 2, the engaging bent portion 202 </ b> B is bent in a substantially W shape as a whole by the push column 11 around the bent portion 202 </ b> Ba.

  At both end positions around the portion where the bent portion 202Ba of the engagement bent portion 202B is formed, the bent portion 202Ba engages with the fixing portion 22A of the winding core 22 when the bent portion 202Ba is not bent, and the bent portion Engagement portions 202Bb and 202Bb are formed that are disengaged when 202Ba is bent.

  In addition, the engaging bent portion 202B is formed with vertical portions 202Bc and 202Bc at intermediate positions from the bent portion 202Ba to the engaging portions 202Bb and 202Bb. Is coupled to the coupling portion 202A.

  Again, both the sending side and the winding side will be described. In each of the hole 201 (delivery side) and the hole 202 (winding side), the periphery of the surface opposite to the side on which the delivery core 21 and the winding core 22 are arranged is the maximum of the bent portions 201Ba and 202Ba. Wall surface portions 201C and 202C that are higher than the bending height are provided.

  The wall portions 201C and 202C are operated by the bent portions 201Ba and 202Ba protruding toward the user side from the holes 201 and 202 of the holder 20 by the push columns 10 and 11 when the holder 20 is mounted on the housing 2. It is intended to protect against finger sticking and touching.

  In order to attach a new delivery core 21 and take-up core 22 to the transfer tool 1 having the above-described configuration using the holder 20, it is performed as follows. The transfer tool 1 is in a state where the cover 2 of the housing 2 is opened and the used sending core 21 and the winding core 22 are removed, that is, the state shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, the holder 20 is in a state where a new delivery core 21 and a take-up core 22 are arranged, and the transfer tape T is hung on the hooking portion 20b, that is, the state shown in FIGS.

  The holder 20, the delivery core 21, and the take-up core 22 immediately before and after being attached to the housing 2, with reference to FIGS. I will explain it. 4 and FIG. 5, each figure (a) shows the AA line cross section of FIGS. 1-3, and each figure (b) shows the BB line cross section of FIGS. 1-3. Yes.

  The fixing portion 22A of the winding core 22 is engaged with the engaging portion 202Bb of the holder 20 in a state where the bent portion 202Ba is not yet bent. Further, the engaging bent portion 202B is coupled to the hole portion 202 of the holder 20 by a coupling portion 202A. Thereby, the winding core 22 is fixedly arranged without moving from the holder 20.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the winding core 22 before being mounted on the housing 2, the extruded column 11 does not bend the bent portion 202 Ba, and the mounting portion 22 </ b> C of the winding core 22 is associated with the rotating cylindrical portion 9. It is not engaged with the joint portion 9A. Note that the locking portion 22 </ b> B of the winding core 22 is in contact with the rotation synchronization portion 9 </ b> B of the rotating cylindrical portion 9 from when the rotating cylindrical portion 9 is fitted into the winding core 22.

  Thereafter, when the wall surface 202C or the like is pushed to move the holder 20 to the main body 2A side, as shown in FIG. 5, the pushing column 11 is relatively moved to the holder 20 side by the movement of the holder 20 (winding core 22). At this time, the top end of the extruded column 11 bends the bent portion 202Ba in the direction opposite to the direction in which the holder 20 is pushed.

  When the holder 20 is pushed to the main body side 2A, the bent portion 202Ba is bent in a mountain shape so as to protrude from the hole portion 202 by the pushing column 11, and at the same time, the engaging bent portion 202B is deformed into a substantially W shape, and the engaging portion The engagement between 202Bb and the fixing portion 22A of the winding core 22 is released.

  When the mounting portion 22C of the winding core 22 gets over and engages with the engaging portion 9A of the rotating cylindrical portion 9 due to the elastic deformation of the locking portion 22B, the winding core 22 is completely on the main body portion 2A side, that is, Since it is attached to the casing 2 and the coupling relationship between the winding core 22 and the holder 20 is eliminated, only the holder 20 can be easily removed.

  At this time, the bent portion 202Ba protrudes from the hole portion 202, but even if the wall surface portion 202C is pushed to perform the above-described series of mounting operations, the wall surface portion 202C has a height equal to or higher than the maximum bent height of the bent portion 202Ba. Because it does not stick or touch the finger. Therefore, the transfer tool 1 of the present invention can refill the delivery core 21 and the take-up core 22 securely, easily and reliably using the holder 20 of the present invention.
