Description

  The present invention relates to a tape supply device that can supply a record winding tape without being twisted.

  A tape supply device for supplying a record winding tape has been developed (for example, Patent Document 1). In such a tape supply device, a record winding tape is placed vertically to take out the tape. Then, the tape comes out in the vertical state first. And when it gets a little longer, the tape goes from vertical to horizontal.

  However, there is a problem that it takes a long distance for the tape to be horizontal to vertical. Since this distance is a process in which the tape is laid from vertical to horizontal, the exact length of the portion cannot be measured. So to get the tape length you want, you have to stretch the tape until it is completely lying down. As a result, a space for extending the tape was required, which was inconvenient.

JP2015-224086A

  Therefore, the present inventor considered that the distance should be minimized and the distance for extending the tape should be minimized, and the present invention has been achieved. The problem to be solved by the present invention is that when a record winding tape is placed vertically from a tape supply device and the tape is taken out, there is a distance until the tape becomes horizontal, which is inconvenient in measuring dimensions. It is to provide a tape supply device that has been eliminated.

  A tape supply device according to the present invention is a tape supply device for holding a tape drawn out from a record winding tape, and a U-shaped part having a U-shaped cross-sectional view, and a folding back of the U-shaped part A U-shape that is fixed in a tilted position with the part, formed in a U-shape in plan view, and formed in a U-shape to form a gap with the floor surface when placed on a horizontal floor surface With parts. In this tape supply device, the record winding tape is placed on the floor surface in a state where the winding shaft is in a vertical posture, and the U-shaped part is placed on the floor surface on the side surface of the record winding tape, The U-shaped part of the U-shaped part protrudes in an inclined posture, and in this state, the tape drawn from the record winding tape is inserted into the U-shaped part, and the tip of the tape is further connected to the U-shaped part. It is characterized in that it can be inserted and pulled out in a gap formed between the floor surface.

  According to the present invention, there is an advantage that a desired length can be measured without using a record winding tape unnecessarily long.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the tape supply device according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a use state of the tape supply device of FIG. FIG. 3 is a three-side view of a U-shaped part. FIG. 4 is a three-sided view of a U-shaped part.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tape supply device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. The tape supply apparatus 100 shown in these drawings includes a U-shaped component 1 having a U-shaped cross-sectional view and a U-shaped U-shaped component 2 that supports the U-shaped component 2. The U-shaped part 2 is fixed to the U-shaped folded portion of the U-shaped part 1 in an inclined posture. Further, the U-shaped component 2 is formed in a U shape in plan view. In a state where the U-shaped part 2 is placed on a horizontal floor surface, the U-shaped component 2 is formed in a U shape so as to form a gap with the floor surface. In addition, the U-shaped part 1 is extended from the U-shaped part 2 in a slanted posture with the U-shaped part 1 opened in a state where the U-shaped part 2 is placed on a horizontal plane. Each of the U-shaped part 1 and the U-shaped part 2 is a solid having a constant width and height, and there is no curve other than chamfering. The folded part of the U-shaped part 2 is not rounded and is bent at a right angle.

  This tape supply device 100 has a U-shape with the tip facing diagonally upward. As shown in FIG. 2, the tape supply device 100 is placed on the side surface of the record winding tape in a state where the record winding tape is placed on the floor surface in a state where the take-up shaft is in a vertical posture. The tape supply device 100 projects the U-shaped part of the U-shaped part 1 in an inclined posture with the U-shaped part 2 placed on the floor surface. In this state, the tape drawn from the record winding tape can be inserted into the U-shaped part 1 and the tip of the tape can be further inserted into the gap formed between the U-shaped part 2 and the floor surface. It is said. In this way, the track of the tape is first inclined from the vertical direction with the U-shaped portion 1 fixed in an oblique posture. Further, by passing the tape under the gap formed between the U-shaped part 2 and the ground, the track of the tape can be completely turned sideways.

  Here, the U-shaped component 1 will be described. A three-sided view of the U-shaped part 1 is shown in FIG. The U-shaped part 1 is not a beautiful U-shaped part, and the tip extends diagonally upward after a little from the folded portion. Furthermore, its length is long. The folded portion is shorter than the previous extension and is folded in a horizontal orientation. This U-shape is used to stand vertically on the ground. In other words, the folded portion is parallel to the ground, and from where it is slightly stretched, the two U-shaped tips extend diagonally upward so as to oppose gravity.

  Next, the U-shaped component 2 will be described. A three-sided view of the U-shaped part 2 is shown in FIG. Of the U-shaped parts 2, the part that becomes the base of the U-shape has a U-shape, and when viewed from above, it is U-shaped in a plane. As described above, the U-shaped folded portion is not rounded but is bent at a right angle. When the U-shape is viewed from above, the U-shape is placed on the left straight line of the U-shape when the folded portion is placed in front. The tip of the U-shape is directed toward the front, and the folded portion of the U-shape is placed on the tip of the U-shaped left straight line. Therefore, the width of the U-shape is equal to the width of the left straight line of the U-shape.

  Its width is 7 millimeters. The U-shape is 7 mm throughout, and the U-shape has a width of the folded portion and the straight line on the right side of 7 mm.

  Furthermore, the U-shape is a solid whose thickness is 5 millimeters from the ground except for the straight line on the right side. The right straight line has a thickness of 2 mm instead of 5 mm at the portion between 7 mm from the tip and 7 mm from the turning point. It is also 2 millimeters without touching the ground. In other words, there is a gap between it and the U-shaped right straight line that looks like a wide tunnel.

  Further, each dimension will be described in detail. The U-shape is 5 millimeters thick and is the same thickness as the U-shape.

  The length of the tip of the U-shaped diagonally upward is 50 mm, and the gap of the U-shaped is 2 mm. The angle of the tip diagonally upward is 30 degrees with the ground. The folded portion is 10 millimeters horizontal to the ground. Therefore, the height of the folded portion from the ground is 5 * 2 + 2 = 12 millimeters due to the thickness and gap.

  The material is aluminum. This is because the processing is relatively simple and the weight of the tape supply device according to the embodiment of the present invention is necessary.

  Next, how to use the tape supply apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the U-shaped folded portion of the tape supply device according to the embodiment of the present invention is placed in front, and the U-shaped part is placed in a state of U when viewed from above. Then, the U-shaped parts are inevitably placed on the left straight line of the letter U. In this state, the record winding tape RT is placed in contact with the left side of the U-shaped part. At this time, the record winding tape RT is placed so that the surface of the circle is in contact with the ground so as not to roll.

  Then, the tape TP of the record winding tape RT is pulled. At this time, the tape TP is passed through the U-shaped gap and then through the U-shaped part.

  As a result, when the tape TP is pulled, the distance from the vertical state to the horizontal direction becomes short.

  First, the reason why the tape TP is passed through the U-shape will be described. This is because the tape TP can be more easily turned sideways.

  The tape TP is activated diagonally by passing the tape TP through a U-shape that faces diagonally upward. Therefore, in order to start the tape TP from vertical to horizontal, the trajectory was first inclined.

  Next, the reason why the tape TP is passed through the U-shaped gap will be described. This is to completely start the tape TP sideways. When the tape TP is pulled, the tape TP tries to return vertically. However, since the U-shaped part is covered on the tape TP, the tape TP cannot be oriented vertically, and as a result, it becomes completely landscape.

  Next, the reason for the dimensions of each part will be described. The reason why the angle of the U-shaped tip is set to 30 degrees is that this angle can smoothly pull out the tape, and the tape can be turned sideways as much as possible.

  If the angle in the oblique direction is too large, the tape can be pulled out smoothly, but it is difficult to fix the tape sideways. Moreover, it is contrary to the gist of the present invention to change the shape of the tape from vertical to horizontal at a short distance. On the other hand, if this angle is too small, the tape itself cannot withstand a sudden change in the angle, and it becomes distorted and cannot move smoothly.

  The reason why the U-shaped folded part is horizontal is that the tape is not distorted even if the tape is guided to be horizontal at the U-shaped folded point. If the U shape itself is leveled, the tape itself cannot withstand sudden angle changes, and the crushing and distortion do not move smoothly. However, if only the U-shaped folded portion is made horizontal, the tape passing through the folded portion can be made directly into a horizontal track without making an oblique track.

  The reason why the width of the U-shaped gap that is the path of the tape is 2 mm will be described. This length was adopted from the viewpoint of ease of control of the U-shaped part tape and ease of insertion and removal of the tape when the tape was pulled. If the gap width is too wide, the tape will turn inside the gap width and the tape cannot be guided cleanly. However, if the gap width is too narrow, it is difficult to pass the tape through the U-shaped gap width. Therefore, 2 mm was taken into consideration as a result of these considerations.

  The reason why the length of the U-shaped diagonal direction is 50 millimeters will be described. The reason is that the width of a general record winding tape is 50 millimeters. Therefore, it was thought that it was not necessary to be longer than that, and it was set to 50 millimeters.

  Next, the reason for the U-shaped dimensions will be described. The length of the U-shaped folded portion is 30 millimeters. (Fig. 4, H) The reason is that if this distance is short, the tape will not be able to withstand abrupt changes in its orbit, and it will be able to be pressed down with a U-shaped part, but it cannot be pulled out smoothly. . However, if this distance is long, the direction of the tape changes slowly, and the purpose of quickly changing the tape, which is the gist of the present invention, from vertical to horizontal is difficult to achieve. Therefore, taking these into account, 30 mm was determined to be appropriate.

Here, it is as follows when the usage method of the tape supply apparatus which concerns on an Example is put together.
(1) Place the record winding tape upright so that it touches the U-shaped part (2) Pass the tape through the U-shaped part (3) Next, place the part 2 so that the U-shape straddles the tape (4) Pull the end of the tape. (5) At that time, the tape is immediately turned from the portrait orientation to the landscape orientation by the tape feeder.

  The track is controlled so that the tape is turned sideways by passing the tape through the gaps between the U-shaped parts. Furthermore, the tape is completely turned sideways by covering the tape with a U-shape. After that, when the tape is pulled, the U-shaped part controls the trajectory of the tape, and the tape is immediately turned from the vertical to the horizontal.

  There is also a problem that when the tape is pulled out, the record tape itself rotates and moves. However, the problem is solved by increasing the weight of the tape feeder and bringing it into contact with the record tape. Because its own weight is heavy, it can withstand being pushed by the record tape.

  Thus, according to the tape supply apparatus which concerns on an Example, the part which cannot measure the length of a tape reduces, and it becomes unnecessary to take out a tape wastefully.
