Description

The present invention relates to a transfer tool used for transferring a transferred product such as an adhesive, correction tape, or pigment to a paper surface or other transfer target surface.

Conventionally, as this kind of transfer tool, a transfer tool in which a first frame and a second frame having a half-split structure are detachably combined is known. Specifically, the transfer head, the feeding reel on which the transfer tape is wound, the take-up reel, and the like are held in the first frame to form a refill portion, and the feeding reel and the above are described in the second frame. Various refill-type transfer tools have been developed in which a base portion is configured by mounting a gear transmission mechanism or the like for interlocking with a take-up reel (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

By the way, in such a transfer tool, since the base of the transfer head fixed to the first frame is simply fitted into the positioning recess provided in the second frame, it is refilled by the transfer head. It does not have the function of connecting the frame of the portion and the frame of the base portion so as not to separate them. That is, if the refill portion is to be separated from the base portion in a parallel posture, the base portion of the transfer head is pulled out from the positioning recess without resistance to allow the operation.

Therefore, in the case of the one having such a basic structure, there is no problem when the transfer work is performed by gripping the tip portion, but when the transfer work is performed by gripping the portion other than the tip portion, the transfer is performed. When the transfer operation is performed while pressing the head against the transfer target surface, the tip portions of both frames may be separated from each other to form a gap depending on how the load is applied. Therefore, there is a demand for improving the degree of freedom in design regarding the mode of the grip portion so that any position can be gripped in any mode.

It should be noted that such a request is not limited to the refill type described above, but generally exists with an exterior frame having a half-split structure.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The transfer tool of the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 29 includes a transfer head 125 for transferring a transfer material such as an adhesive, correction tape, or pigment from the transfer tape 126 to a paper surface or other transfer target surface. It includes a tool body 1 and an outer case 2 that is attached to and covers the transfer tool body 1. Then, as the outer case 2 rotates and moves relative to the transfer tool main body 1, the transfer tool main body 1 and the transfer head 125 are housed in the outer case 2 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the transfer head 125 of the transfer tool main body 1 can be in a state of use exposed to the outside of the outer case 2.

As shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 11, the transfer tool main body 1 feeds out the transfer tape 126 to which the transfer material to be transferred is attached (that is, supporting the transfer material) to the transfer target surface. The feeding reel 124, the transfer head 125 on which the transfer tape 126 unwound from the feeding reel 124 is wound, the take-up reel 123 for winding the transfer tape 126 after passing through the transfer head 125, and the rotation and winding of the feeding reel 124. It is equipped with a gear transmission mechanism that interlocks with the rotation of the take reel 123. When using the transfer tool of the present embodiment, the transfer head 125 is exposed to the outside of the outer case 2, then the grip portion of the outer case 2 is gripped, and the transfer head 125 is placed on the transfer target surface. While pressing, the transfer tool is displaced relative to the transfer target surface. Then, the transferred material attached to the outer surface of the transfer tape 126 on which the take-up reel 123 is unwound can be transferred from the transfer tape 126 to the transfer target surface. The used transfer tape 126 from which the transfer material has been peeled off is taken up by the take-up reel 123.

The outer case 2 has a half-split structure with the first case member 21 and the second case member 22 as elements. The outer case 2 has a substantially teardrop-shaped outer shape in which the base end side is circular and gradually tapers toward the tip end side in a plan view seen along the extending direction of the rotation axis of the feeding reel 124 and the take-up reel 123. Have. The center of the arcuate contour on the base end side is the center of the rotational movement of the outer case 2 relative to the transfer tool main body 1, and the outer case 2 is the rotation axis of the feeding reel 124 and the take-up reel 123. It rotates forward and reverse around the axis that extends almost parallel to.

The first case member 21 is a resin integrally molded product having a bottom wall 211 having a substantially teardrop shape in a plan view and a peripheral wall 212 standing up from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom wall 211. Further, the second case member 22 has a substantially teardrop shape in a plan view, and the top wall 221 facing the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21 and the top wall 221 hangs down from the outer peripheral edge of the top wall 221 to form the first case member 21. It is a resin integrally molded product having a peripheral wall 222 that abuts against the peripheral wall. The bottom wall 211 and the top wall 221 on the base end side of the outer case 2 are gripping portions that can be gripped by a user who uses the transfer tool.

The peripheral walls 212 and 222 of the outer case 2 are not continuous over the entire circumference of the outer case 2, and are partially cut out. Specifically, one side extending linearly from the tip end side of the outer case 2 toward the base end side, the outer circumference of the base end side forming a partial cylindrical shape of the outer case 2, and the vicinity of the other side side. The area is open. The opening 23 communicates the internal space of the outer case 2 to the outside, and serves as an entrance / exit for moving the tip end side of the transfer tool main body 1 including the transfer head 125 in and out.

The uncut portion of the peripheral wall 212 and 222 is a closed portion that shields the internal space of the outer case 2 from the outside. The closed portion includes a tip portion of the outer case 2 and the other side side extending linearly from the tip side of the outer case 2 toward the proximal end side. On top of that, a hinge 24 that connects the first case member 21 and the second case member 22 so as to be relatively rotatable is attached to the linearly expanding portion.

The second case member 22 rotates about an axis substantially parallel to the direction in which the other side side of the outer case 2 extends (the direction in which the closed portion expands) with respect to the first case member 21. Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, both case members 21 and 22 overlap each other and the outer case 2 is in a closed state, and as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, both case members 21 and 22 are separated from each other. Then, it is possible to take a deployed posture in which the outer case 2 is in an open state. The direction of the rotation axis is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the rotation axis of the feeding reel 124 and the take-up reel 123. When the second case member 22 takes a deployed posture with respect to the first case member 21, the entire area of the plan view transfer tool main body 1 is exposed without being covered by the outer case 2.

The hinge 24 in the present embodiment is a resin molded product that is separate from each of the first case member 21 and the second case member 22. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the hinge 24 constitutes a first mounting portion 241 fixed to a peripheral wall 212 constituting a closing portion in the first case member 21, and a closing portion in the second case member 22. A second mounting portion 242 fixed to the peripheral wall 222, a connecting portion 243 for connecting the pair of mounting portions 241 and 242 in a relative rotatable manner, and a connecting portion 243 straddling both mounting portions 241 and 242. It has a spring portion 244 that is provided and elastically urges both mounting portions 241 and 242.

When the outer case 2 takes a closed posture, the peripheral wall 212 of the first case member 21 and the peripheral wall 222 of the second case member 22 are substantially flush with each other, and therefore, the first mounting portion 241 and the second mounting portion 241 of the hinge 24 The mounting portion 242 and the mounting portion 242 are substantially flush with each other. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the connecting portion 243 has a curved shape so as to protrude toward the outside of the outer case 2. On the other hand, when the outer case 2 takes the unfolded posture, the peripheral wall 212 of the first case member 21 and the peripheral wall 222 of the second case member 22 are expanded so as to form a dominant angle, and therefore the first mounting of the hinge 24 is performed. The portion 241 and the second mounting portion 242 are widened so as to form a dominant angle. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the connecting portion 243 has a curved shape so as to protrude inward of the outer case 2.

The mounting portions 241 and 242 of the hinge 24 are mounted inside the peripheral walls 212 and 222 of the first case member 21 and the second case member 22. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the hinge 24 (mounting portions 241 and 242, connecting portion 243 and spring portion 244) protrudes outward from the outer surface of the peripheral wall 212 and 222 of the outer case 2. do not do.

When the second case member 22 is closer to the first case member 21 than the thought point between the closed posture and the deployed posture, the spring portion 244 of the hinge 24 directs the second case member 22 toward the closed posture or its vicinity. (That is, elastically urges the outer case 2 in the closing direction). On the other hand, when the second case member 22 is farther from the first case member 21 than the thought point, the spring portion 244 directs the second case member 22 to the unfolded posture or its vicinity (that is, the outer case 2). Elastically urges (in the opening direction). In this way, the hinge 24 acts as a snap hinge.

In the process of rotating the second mounting portion 242 with respect to the first mounting portion 241 in other words, in the process of rotating the second case member 22 with respect to the first case member 21, the connecting portion 243 protrudes. The direction changes from the outside to the inside of the outer case 2, or conversely, from the inside to the outside of the outer case 2. The vicinity where the protruding direction of the connecting portion 243 changes is an intermediate point between the closed posture and the unfolded posture of the outer case 2.

The transfer tool main body 1 has a base portion 11 that is detachably attached to the first case member 21 of the outer case 2, and a refill portion 12 that is detachably attached to the base portion 11 and holds the transfer tape 126. Make it an element. As shown in FIG. 7, the refill unit 12 has a feed reel 124 and a take-up reel 123 around which the transfer tape 126 is wound, and a transfer head 125 supported by an integral frame 120. In the transfer tool of the present embodiment, the refill portion 12 is a refill to be replaced in order to replenish the consumed transfer material. When the transfer tape 126 is replaced, it is limited to the refill portion 12, and the base portion 11 is not replaced, that is, the entire transfer tool main body 1 does not need to be replaced, so that the number of waste parts can be reduced. ..

The base portion 11 includes a gear transmission mechanism that interlocks the feeding reel 124 and the take-up reel 123, a cover (or shutter) 14 for protecting the transfer head 125 and the transfer tape 126 from contamination when the transfer tool is not used, and a cover (or shutter) 14. The operating member 15 that is pressed when the outer case 2 is rotationally moved with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 is supported by the integrated frame 110.

The outer shell of the transfer tool main body 1 has a half-split structure with the frame 120 of the refill portion 12 and the frame 110 of the base portion 11 as elements. As shown in FIG. 6, the outer shell of the transfer tool main body 1 has a substantially teardrop-shaped outer shape in which the base end side is circular and gradually tapers toward the tip end side in a plan view. The center of the arcuate contour on the base end side is the center of the rotational movement of the outer case 2 relative to the transfer tool main body 1.

The frame 110 of the base portion 11 is a resin integrally molded product having a bottom wall 111 having a substantially teardrop shape in a plan view and a peripheral wall 112 rising from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom wall 111. Further, the frame 120 of the refill portion 12 has a substantially teardrop shape in a plan view, and has a top wall 121 facing the bottom wall 111 of the base portion 11 and a peripheral wall 112 of the base portion 11 hanging from the outer peripheral edge of the top wall 121. It is a resin integrally molded product having a peripheral wall 122 that abuts against each other.

The peripheral walls 112 and 122 of the outer shell of the transfer tool main body 1 are not continuous over the entire circumference of the transfer tool main body 1, and are partially cut out. In particular, the tip side of the transfer tool main body 1 and one side portion extending linearly from the tip end side toward the proximal end side are open. A cover 14 is arranged in the opening 13. The transfer head 125 supported by the frame 120 of the refill portion 12 is located ahead of the tip end side of the outer shell of the transfer tool main body 1.

As described above, the refill portion 12 of the transfer tool main body 1 is removable from the base portion 11. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 11, an engaging piece 127 projecting from the top wall 121 of the frame 120 of the refill portion 12 toward the base portion 11 is provided on the frame 110 of the base portion 11. It is inserted into and engaged with the engaged portion 115. Moreover, by fitting the support shafts 116 and 117 provided in the frame 110 of the base portion 11 into the inner circumferences of the feed reel 124 and the take-up reel 123 supported by the frame 120 of the refill portion 12, the refill portion 12 is provided. Can be assembled to the base portion 11.

When the refill portion 12 is attached to the base portion 11, the gear 1231 integrally formed on the take-up reel 123 meshes with a predetermined gear 113 of the gear transmission mechanism arranged on the base portion 11. The gear transmission mechanism includes one or more gears rotatably supported by the frame 110 of the base portion 11, one of which gears 113 are coaxial with the feeding reel 124, and the feeding reel 124 and the same. The rotation of the engaging support shaft 117 is transmitted to the take-up reel 123. In the present embodiment, the gear 113 of the gear transmission mechanism is integrally formed on the support shaft 117, and the gear 113 directly meshes with the gear 1231 of the take-up reel 123. However, another gear may be interposed between the gear 113 on the support shaft 117 side and the gear 1231 on the take-up reel 123 side. In that case, the gear is arranged on the base member 11 together with the gear 113 in a state of being meshed with the gear 113 in advance as one of the elements of the gear transmission mechanism.

The support shaft 117 has a sliding clutch (or friction clutch) 118 at its tip, and engages with the feeding reel 124 via the sliding clutch 118 to support the feeding reel 124. The slip clutch 118 is interposed between the feeding reel 124 and the gear 113, and transmits torque between the two while allowing a difference in rotational speed between the two. The slip clutch 118 changes as the transfer tape 126 is consumed, that is, as it is unwound from the reel 124 and wound on the take-up reel 123, and the difference between the rotational speed of the take-out reel 124 and the rotational speed of the take-up reel 123. To absorb.

The upper surface of the top wall 121 of the frame 120 of the refill portion 12 mounted on the base portion 11 is in contact with or close to the lower surface of the top wall 221 of the second case member 22 of the outer case 2 in the closed posture. As shown in FIG. 6, a shaft hole 1211 and an elongated hole 1212 are formed on the upper surface of the top wall 121. The shaft hole 1211 is located at the center of the relative rotational movement of the non-planar case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1, and the elongated hole 1212 forms a partial arc shape concentric with the center thereof in the plan view. Engagement protrusions 2211 and 2212 project from the lower surface of the top wall 221 of the second case member 22, and when the second case member 22 of the outer case 2 is in the closed posture, the engagement protrusions 2211 and 2212 are respectively. Is inserted into and engaged with the shaft hole 1211 and the elongated hole 1212, respectively. The engagement between the engagement protrusion 2211 and the shaft hole 1211 and the engagement between the engagement protrusion 2212 and the elongated hole 1212 do not hinder the relative rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1.

The lower surface of the bottom wall 111 of the frame 110 of the base portion 11 is in contact with or close to the upper surface of the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21 of the outer case 2. As shown in FIG. 11, the bottom wall 111 is formed with a locking hole 1111 that penetrates the bottom wall 111. The locking hole 1111 is located at the center of the relative rotational movement of the non-planar case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1. A locking projection 2111 projects from the upper surface of the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21. The locking projection 2111 is inserted into and engaged with the locking hole 1111. At the tip of the locking projection 2111, there is a claw 2112 protruding in a direction substantially orthogonal to the insertion direction of the locking projection 2111 with respect to the locking hole 1111. The locking projection 2111 inserted into the hole 1111 does not easily come out of the locking hole 1111. Therefore, the bottom wall 111 of the base portion 11 cannot be separated from the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21. That is, the base portion 11 of the transfer tool main body 1 does not separate from the first case member 21 of the outer case 2. Further, the engagement between the locking projection 2111 and the locking hole 1111 does not hinder the relative rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 and 18, slightly recessed recesses 181 and 182 are formed on the outer surfaces of the peripheral walls 112 and 122 of the outer shell forming a partially cylindrical shape on the base end side of the transfer tool main body 1. There is. In a plan view or a plan view, these recesses 181 and 182 are located at two positions symmetrical to the center of the rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1. In FIG. 18, for the sake of simplicity, the illustration of the internal structure other than the outer case 2, the frame 110 of the transfer tool main body 1, the cover 14, the hinge 24, and the transfer head 125 is omitted. In the non-used state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the peripheral walls 112 and 122 and the recesses 181 and 182 on the base end side of the transfer tool main body 1 are exposed through the opening 23 of the outer case 2. The user puts a finger on each of the recesses 181 and 182, holds the peripheral walls 112 and 122 on the base end side of the transfer tool main body 1 so as to be pinched by two fingers, and holds the transfer tool main body 1 with respect to the outer cover 2. You can perform the operation of rotating.

The transfer tool of the present embodiment can selectively take the non-used state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first used state shown in FIG. 4, and the second used state shown in FIG. In the non-use state, the transfer tool main body 1 and the transfer head 125 are housed in the outer case 2. More specifically, the transfer head 125 fits inside the outer periphery (and the peripheral wall 212, 222) of the outer case 2 in a closed posture in a plan view, and the entire area of the transfer tool main body 1 including the transfer head 125 is the same outer case. It is shielded by the bottom wall 211 and the top wall 221 of 2. Then, even if the transfer head 125 is brought into contact with the transfer target surface, the outer case 2 interferes with the transfer target surface, and the transfer head 125 cannot be brought into contact with the transfer target surface.

Not only that, in the non-use state, the cover 14 supported by the frame 110 of the base portion 11 of the transfer tool main body 1 is attached to the peripheral wall 212 222 at the tip end portion of the outer case 2 (that is, the end of the opening 23). Advance to a closed position (on the edge) or very close. The opening 23 of the outer case 2 extends from the base end side of the outer case 2 to the vicinity of the tip end along one side side. For this reason, in the non-used state, a gap is formed between the peripheral walls 212 and 222 at the tip of the outer case 2 and the peripheral walls 112 and 122 of the outer shell of the transfer tool main body 1. However, the cover 14 advances to the side of the transfer head 125 located at the tip of the transfer tool main body 1 to close this gap, and prevents the outer case 2 from coming into contact with the transfer head 125 from the outside. The presence of the cover 14 prevents dust and dirt from entering the outer case 2 and adhering to the transfer head 125 and the transfer tape 126 when the transfer tool is not used.

In the first use state and the second use state, the tip end side of the transfer tool main body 1 and the transfer head 125 are exposed to the outside of the outer case 2. At this time, the cover 14 is displaced from the side of the transfer head 125 and retracts to an open position that does not hinder the contact between the transfer head 125 and the transfer target surface. The first used state is a state in which the outer case 2 is rotated relative to the transfer tool main body 1 by a certain angle from the non-used state, and the second used state is a further outer case from the first used state. It is a state in which 2 is relatively rotated and moved in the same direction by a certain angle.

Therefore, in the transfer tool of the present embodiment, it is possible to retain the outer case 2 in any of the non-use state, the first use state, and the second use state with respect to the transfer tool main body 1. The lock mechanism is implemented.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, ridges 2131 projecting toward the bottom wall 111 of the base portion 11 are formed on the upper surface of the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21. The ridge 2131 surrounds a region serving as a rail 214 forming a partial arc shape concentric with the center of the relative rotational movement of the non-planar case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1. In addition, a part of the inner peripheral surface of the outer ridge 2131 is bulged or projected toward the center of the relative rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1, so that the plurality of retention positions 215 and 216 It constitutes 217.

On the other hand, the base portion 11 of the transfer tool main body 1 is provided with an operating member 15 that is operated to realize the retention of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 and to release the retention. The operating member 15 is assembled so as to fit into a pin 1191 protruding from a predetermined portion of the bottom wall 111 of the base portion 11. Then, the arm portion 155 extends from the position where it engages with the pin 1191 so as to go between the feeding reel 124 supported by the support shaft 117 and the take-up reel 123 supported by the support shaft 116. .. The tip of the arm portion 155 hangs on a support protrusion 1192 protruding from the bottom wall 111 of the base portion 11. Further, the base portion 151 extends from the position of engaging with the pin 1191 toward the tip end side of the frame 110 of the base portion 11 and along the peripheral wall 112 of the base portion 11.

A stopper protrusion 154 projects toward the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21 at a portion of the base 151 of the operating member 15 located directly above the rail 214 formed on the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21. There is. As shown in FIG. 16, the stopper protrusion 154 penetrates the bottom wall 111 through the elongated hole 1193 drilled in the bottom wall 111 of the base portion 11 of the transfer tool main body 1, and the bottom of the first case member 21. It fits within the rail 214 formed on the wall 211.

The retention positions 215, 216, 217 and the stopper protrusion 154 are elements of the locking mechanism. That is, by engaging the stopper protrusion 154 with any of the holding positions 215, 216, and 217, the outer case 2 (the first case member 21) is relative to the transfer tool main body 1 (the frame 110 of the base portion 11). The rotational movement is stopped, and the outer case 2 is held in any of the non-used state, the first used state, and the second used state. FIG. 12 shows a non-used state, FIG. 14 shows a first used state, and FIG. 15 shows a second used state. The elongated hole 1193 through which the stopper protrusion 154 is inserted extends along a locus close to an arc centered on the plan view pin 1191.

A part of the base 151 is a pressing button 152 that is pressed by the user's hand. The pressing button 152 is exposed toward the outside of the transfer tool main body 1 from the windows 161 formed in advance on the peripheral walls 112 and 122 of the outer shell of the transfer tool main body 1, particularly the peripheral wall 112 of the base portion 11. However, the press button 152 is not always exposed at a position where the user's fingers can reach. In the non-use state shown in FIGS. 2 and 12, the push button 152 is obscured and concealed by the peripheral wall 212 and 222 (a part that expands linearly) of the outer case 2, and this can be visually recognized by the user's fingers. It is difficult to do and touch. On the other hand, in the usage state shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the pressing button 152 is exposed from the opening 23 of the outer case 2 or outside the outer case 2, which can be visually recognized by the user. You can easily touch it with your fingers.

As shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, in a plan view or a plan view, the operation member 15 is supported by a support shaft 117 inside the peripheral walls 112 and 122 of the transfer tool main body 1 except for the push button 152. It fits in the space between the feeding reel 124 and the take-up reel 123 supported by the support shaft 116.

In order to release the restraint of the outer case 2 on the transfer tool main body 1 by the lock mechanism, that is, the restraint of the relative rotational movement, the pressing button 152 exposed from the window 161 of the peripheral wall 112 of the transfer tool main body 1 is pressed. Immerse this. Then, the base portion 151 of the operation member 15 is displaced with respect to the frame 110 of the base portion 11 so as to rotate about the pin 1191 together with the push button 152 and the stopper protrusion 154. At the same time, the stopper protrusion 154 formed on the base 151 approaches the center of the relative rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 along the expanding elongated hole 1193, that is, the outer ridge 2131. It is displaced in the direction away from the inner peripheral surface. As a result, the stopper protrusion 154 is separated from the holding positions 215, 216, and 217, and the relative rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 is lifted.

Further, at this time, the operating member 15 elastically deforms and stores a reaction force. In particular, the base 151, whose root is non-displaceable by the pin 1191, bends and deforms so as to approach the arm 155. On the other hand, the arm portion 155 is engaged with the support protrusion 1193, and although the arm portion 155 may be slightly deformed, it is prevented from being displaced to the same extent as the base portion 151. Therefore, the entire operating member 15 does not rotate around the pin 1191.

When the user stops pressing the push button 152, the elastic reaction force stored in the operating member 15 that functions as a spring causes the base 151 to rotate in the opposite direction around the pin 1191 together with the push button 152 and the stopper protrusion 154. Displace to do. Then, the bending deformation of the base 151 is relaxed or eliminated. At the same time, the stopper protrusion 154 formed on the base 151 moves away from the center of the relative rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 along the expanding elongated hole 1193, that is, the ridge 2131 on the outside. Displace in the direction approaching the inner peripheral surface. As a result, the stopper protrusion 154 can be engaged with any of the holding positions 215, 216, and 217 again, and the user can hold the outer case 2 in any used or non-used state by rotating the outer case 2. It will be like. When the outer case 2 rotates with respect to the transfer tool main body 1, the stopper protrusion 154 moves in the rail 214 while sliding with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the protrusion 2131, and the retention positions 215 and 216, When it reaches 217, it fits into the retention positions 215, 216, and 217.

The pressing button 152 is pressed to change the relative angles of the transfer tool main body 1 and the transfer head 125 exposed to the outside of the outer case 2 with respect to the outer case 2. The user who uses the transfer tool presses the transfer head 125 of the transfer tool main body 1 against the transfer target surface. As a reaction, a force is applied to the transfer tool main body 1 in the direction of moving the transfer tool main body 1 from the first use state to the second use state. In the first use state shown in FIGS. 4 and 14, the engagement between the stopper protrusion 154 constituting the lock mechanism and the holding position 216 is intended by the transfer tool main body 1 with respect to the outer case 2 while the transfer tool is in use. Stop spinning without doing it. When the user presses the press button 152, the retention of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 is released, and the outer case 2 or the transfer tool main body 1 is changed from the first use state to the second use shown in FIGS. 5 and 15. It is possible to rotate and move toward the state.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 14, the operating force P received by the pressing button 152 when the user presses the pressing button 152 is first used by the tip of the transfer tool main body 1 provided with the transfer head 125. It includes a component force along the direction R that rotates from the state to the second use state, in other words, parallel to the direction R. In other words, the direction P in which the user pushes the push button 152 and the direction R in which the transfer tool main body 1 is pushed to rotate the transfer tool main body 1 from the first use state to the second use state are close to each other. Therefore, it is possible to transition from the first usage state to the second usage state by a natural operation.

When the outer case 2 or the transfer tool main body 1 is rotationally moved from the second used state to the first used state or the non-used state, it is not always necessary to press the press button 152. If the outer case 2 is vigorously rotated with respect to the transfer tool main body 1, the stopper protrusion 154 can be passed through before being deeply fitted into the retention position 216. However, the pressing button 152 may be pressed when the transfer tool main body 1 and the transfer head 125 are housed in the outer case 2.

The cover 14 that protects the transfer head 125 and the transfer tape 126 when the transfer tool is not used opens and closes in conjunction with the relative rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1. As shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, ridges 2132 protruding toward the bottom wall 111 of the base portion 11 are formed on the upper surface of the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21. The ridge 2132 is inside the plan view rail 214 and has an arc shape or a C shape concentric with the center of the relative rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1. The protruding height of the ridges 2132 is higher than that of the ridges 2131 surrounding the rail 214.

Teeth 218 are present on a part of the outer peripheral surface of the ridge 2132. The teeth 218 mesh with the gear 17 supported by the frame 110 of the base portion 11 of the transfer tool main body 1. As shown in FIG. 16, the gear 17 is provided so as to appear on the surface of the bottom wall 111 of the base portion 11 facing the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21. Further, the gear 17 meshes with the rack teeth 141 formed on the cover 14 slidably supported by the frame 110 of the base portion 11.

The teeth 218, gears 17, and rack teeth 141 are elements of a conversion mechanism that converts the relative rotational movement between the outer case 2 and the transfer tool main body 1 into the slide movement of the cover 14. Then, this conversion mechanism slides the cover 14 from the non-used state to the first used state. Specifically, the first case member 21 of the outer case 2 is the first one shown in FIGS. 4 and 14 from the non-used state shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 12 with respect to the base portion 11 of the transfer tool main body 1. In the process of relative rotational movement toward the use state, the teeth 218 on the outer peripheral surface of the ridge 2132 rotate the gear 17, and the rotating gear 17 causes the cover 14 to slide with respect to the frames 110 and 120, so that the cover 14 Is displaced from the closed position to the open position.

When the cover 14 reaches the open position shown in FIGS. 3 and 13, the gear 17 reaches the portion of the outer peripheral surface of the ridge 2132 where the teeth 218 are not provided. That is, in the used state, the gear 17 and the tooth 218 do not mesh with each other. Therefore, even if the outer case 2 (the first case member 21) further rotates with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 (the base portion 11), the gear 17 does not rotate any more, and the cover 14 is in the open position. Continue to be in. In addition, it does not prevent the structure so that the teeth of the gear 17 do not mesh with the teeth 141 on the cover 14 side in the used state.

When the first case member 21 of the outer case 2 is positioned in the first used state shown in FIGS. 4 and 14 with respect to the base portion 11 of the transfer tool main body 1, the stopper protrusion 154 is in the first used state. Engage in the retention position 216 corresponding to. At the same time, one or a small number of teeth (or protrusions) 219 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the ridge 2132 mesh (or engage) with the gear 17. As a result, the outer case 2 is held in the position of the first used state, the rotation of the gear 17 meshing with the rack teeth 141 is suppressed, and even if an external force acts on the cover 14, the cover 14 is the base portion 11. It is held in the open position without sliding.

Further, when the first case member 21 of the outer case 2 is positioned in the second use state shown in FIGS. 5 and 15 with respect to the base portion 11 of the transfer tool main body 1, the stopper protrusion 154 is the second. Engage in the retention position 217 corresponding to the state of use. At the same time, one or a small number of teeth (or protrusions) 210 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the ridge 2132 mesh (or engage) with the gear 17. As a result, the outer case 2 is held in the position of the second used state, the rotation of the gear 17 meshing with the rack teeth 141 is suppressed, and even if an external force acts on the cover 14, the cover 14 is the base portion 11. It is held in the open position without sliding.

In the process in which the first case member 21 of the outer case 2 rotates relative to the base portion 11 of the transfer tool main body 1 from the first used state to the non-used state, the teeth 218 on the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion 2132 Needless to say, the gear 17 rotates in the reverse direction, and the gear 17 causes a sliding movement of the cover 14 with respect to the base portion 11, so that the cover 14 is displaced from the open position to the closed position.

Supplementing with respect to the gear 17, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the gear 17 is a set of the first gear element 171 and the second gear element 172. The first gear element 171 meshes with the teeth 218, 219, 210 formed on the surface of the bottom wall 211 of the first case member 21 facing the bottom wall 111 of the base portion 11. The second gear element 172 meshes with the teeth 141 formed on the cover 14 slidably supported by the frame 110 of the base portion 11. In normal times, the first gear element 171 and the second gear element 172 rotate integrally to form an integrated gear 17.

One of the first gear element 171 and the second gear element 172 (second gear element 172 in the illustrated example) is provided with a shaft portion 1721 protruding along the extending direction of the rotation shaft of the gear 17, and the other. (In the illustrated example, the first gear element 171) is provided with a shaft hole 1711 into which the shaft portion 1721 is inserted. The shaft portion 1721 and the shaft hole 1711 function as a slip clutch (or friction clutch) that synchronizes the rotation of the first gear element 171 with the rotation of the second gear element 172. A plurality of recesses 1712 that are recessed inward along the radial direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the gear 17 are continuously formed on the inner circumference of the shaft hole 1711. Further, on the outer circumference of the shaft body 1721, convex portions 1722 protruding outward along the radial direction orthogonal to the rotation axis of the gear 17 are continuously formed. The convex portion 1722 engages with any of the concave portions 1712 on the inner circumference of the shaft hole 171. Further, the shaft body 1721 is divided into a plurality of portions (divided in the illustrated example) so as to be elastically deformed inward along the radial direction.

In normal times when the rotational torque acting on the gear 17 is not excessive, torque is transmitted between the first gear element 171 and the second gear element 172 through the engagement between the concave portion 1712 and the convex portion 1722, and the second gear element 172 They do not rotate relative to the first gear element 171 but both rotate as an integral gear 17.

On the other hand, when the rotational torque acting on the gear 17 becomes excessive, the convex portion 1722 escapes from the engaged concave portion 1712 with elastic deformation of the shaft body 1721, and transitions to the adjacent concave portion 1712. That is, slip occurs in the clutch connecting the first gear element 171 and the second gear element 172, torque is not transmitted between the clutch, and the second gear element 172 rotates relative to the first gear element 171. Will come to do. Therefore, although one of the first gear element 171 and the second gear element 172 rotates, the other does not rotate.

When the refill portion 12 that has consumed the transfer tape 126 is replaced with a new refill portion 12, the outer case 2 is opened to take the unfolded posture as shown in FIG. The rotation axis when the second case member 22 rotates with respect to the first case member 21 is a virtual plane orthogonal to the rotation axis when the outer case 2 rotates with respect to the transfer tool main body 1. The virtual plane is orthogonal to the line-of-sight direction in the plan view). The outer surface of the top wall 121 on the base end side of the transfer tool main body 1 and the inner surface of the top wall 221 of the second case member 22 facing the top wall 121 are exposed when the outer case 2 takes the unfolded posture. , It is concealed when the outer case 2 takes a closed posture. In the present embodiment, on one or both of the outer surface of the top wall 121 of the transfer tool main body 1 and the inner surface of the top wall 221 of the second case member 22, the display for displaying the usage method or precautions of the transfer tool is displayed. Regions 1213 and 2213 are provided.

The transfer tool of the present embodiment is equipped with a mooring mechanism for mooring the refill portion 12 of the transfer tool main body 1 to the base portion 11 and the outer case 2. In order to remove the refill portion 12 from the base portion 11 and the outer case 2, it is necessary to release the mooring by this mooring mechanism. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 19, the mooring claw 156 extends from the base portion 151 of the operating member 15 supported by the frame 110 of the base portion 11 toward the frame 120 of the refill portion 12. There is. The toe 1561 protrudes toward the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 122 of the refill portion 12. On the other hand, a moored portion 129 that is recessed outward is formed at a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 122 of the refill portion 12 that faces the toe 1561.

The mooring claw 156 and the moored portion 129 are elements of the mooring mechanism. That is, when the refill portion 12 is attached to the base portion 11, the toe 1561 of the mooring claw 156 is inserted into the moored portion 129 and engaged with the moored portion 129. Then, even if a force that pulls the frame 120 of the refill portion 12 away from the frame 110 of the base portion 11 acts, the toe 1561 of the mooring claw 156 is caught by the moored portion 129 to moor the frame 120 of the refill portion 12. In addition, the frame 120 of the refill portion 12 is not easily separated from the frame 110 of the base portion 11. Therefore, the refill portion 12 does not separate from the base portion 11 and the outer case 2.

To remove the refill portion 12 from the base portion 11 and the outer case 2, first, the outer case 2 is opened to the unfolded posture, and the exposed press button 152 is pressed. Then, together with the base 151 of the operating member 15, the mooring claw 156 is displaced in a direction away from the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 122 of the refill portion 12. As a result, the toe 1561 of the mooring claw 156 is separated from the moored portion 129, and the mooring of the frame 120 of the refill portion 12 with respect to the frame 110 of the base portion 11 is released.

After that, the frame 120 of the refill portion 12 is pulled away from the frame 110 of the base portion 11, the engaging piece 127 is pulled out from the engaged portion 115, and the take-up reel 123 and the feeding reel 124 are supported by the support shafts 116 and 117. Detach from. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the refill portion 12 can be removed from the base portion 11. Then, a new refill portion 12 may be attached to the base portion 11, and the outer case 2 may be closed again to take the closed posture shown in FIGS. 1 to 5.

In the present embodiment, the transfer tool main body 1 provided with the transfer head 125 for transferring the transferred material from the transfer tape 125 to the transfer target surface, and the outer case 2 for accommodating the transfer tool main body 1 are provided, and the outer case 2 is provided. Is moved relative to the transfer tool body 1 so that the transfer head 125 of the transfer tool body 1 is covered with the outer case 2 and the transfer head 125 of the transfer tool body 1 is exposed to the outside of the outer case 2. The first use state and the second use in which the transfer head 125 of the transfer tool main body 1 is exposed to the outside of the outer case 2 and the relative position of the transfer tool main body 1 with respect to the outer case 2 is different from the first use state. It is a transfer tool that can take a state, and is a lock mechanism that stops the relative movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 in the first use state, and is locked by being pressed by the user's finger. A transfer tool provided with a push button 152 for releasing the restraint of relative movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 by the mechanism was configured.

According to the present embodiment, when the transfer tool is used, the restraining force for restraining the relative movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 can be strengthened as necessary and sufficient. The lock mechanism that releases the restraint by the pressing operation force applied to the pressing button 152 can exert a larger restraining force as compared with a simple uneven engagement structure or a moderation mechanism. Therefore, even if a large external force acts on the outer case 2 or the transfer tool main body 1 while the transfer tool is being used, it is possible to prevent the outer case 2 from unexpectedly rotating with respect to the transfer tool main body 1, and the transfer tool can be used as a transfer tool. The ease of use is further improved. In order to shift the outer case 2 or the transfer tool main body 1 from the first used state to the second used state or the non-used state, the pressing button 152 may be pressed to release the restraint by the lock mechanism.

Then, when the transfer tool is used, the first usage state and the second usage state can be arbitrarily selected. That is, it is possible to set the position of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 to a position that is easy to use and fits in the user's hand.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, in the used state, the pressing button 152 is below the transfer tool and in the middle of the entire transfer tool (from the transfer head 125 at the tip of the transfer tool body 1 to the tip of the outer case 2). It is located around. Therefore, in the operation of the user holding the transfer tool and pressing the transfer head 125 against the transfer target surface, the user's fingers do not accidentally press the press button 152.

The pressing button 152 is shielded by the outer case 2 and is not exposed in the non-used state, and the outer case 2 moves relative to the transfer tool main body 1 from the non-used state to the outside of the outer case 2. Since it is exposed, the appearance and dignity of the transfer tool in the non-use state can be enhanced. Further, it is avoided that the presence of the push button 152 restricts the appearance design of the outer case 2, and the degree of freedom in the appearance design is ensured.

Since the relative movement is the relative rotational movement of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1, the posture, angle, or orientation of the outer case 1 with respect to the transfer tool main body 2 is changed according to the preference of each user. Can be used.

In addition, the operating force P received by the pressing button 152 when the user presses the pressing button 152 is a component force along the rotation direction R of the tip of the transfer tool main body 1 including the transfer head 125. Since the push button 152 is arranged so as to include, the direction P for pushing the push button 152 to release the restraint on the rotation of the transfer tool main body 1 and the direction R for pushing the push button 152 to rotate the transfer tool main body 1. The posture, angle, or orientation of the outer case 2 with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 can be changed by a natural operation.

In the transfer tool of the present embodiment, in the first use state, the transfer head 125 is pressed against the transfer target surface to the transfer tool main body 1 from the first use state to the second use state. A force is applied in the direction of use. The lock mechanism prevents the transfer tool main body 1 from rotating due to the force thereof. Therefore, when the transfer tool is used, the transfer tool main body 1 does not rotate from the position in the first used state to the position in the non-used state, that is, the transfer head 125 is immersed in the outer case 2 while the transfer tool is in use. I will never do it.

The spring 15, which is deformed when the user presses the push button 152 and stores the elastic repulsive force, is the transfer tape in the transfer tool main body 1 via the feeding reel 124 for feeding out the transfer tape 126 and the transfer head 125. Since it is arranged using the space between the take-up reel 123 for taking up the 126, the spring 15 that takes up the space can be efficiently incorporated, and the enlargement of the transfer tool main body 1 and the outer case 2 can be suppressed. That is, it contributes to the compactness of the transfer tool.

Further, the transfer tool of the present embodiment includes the transfer head 125, the feeding reel 124, and the take-up reel 123 so that the refill 12 constituting the transfer tool main body 1 is not detached from the outer case 2. A mooring mechanism is provided, and when the push button 152 is pressed by the user's finger, the mooring by the mooring mechanism is released and the refill 12 is allowed to be attached to and detached from the outer case 2. It has become. Therefore, the push button 152 for releasing the restraint of the relative movement of the outer case 2 to the transfer tool main body 1 and the push button 152 for releasing the mooring of the refill 12 to the outer case 2 are shared, and the number of parts is increased. While reducing the number, it is possible to avoid the incomprehensibleness due to the increase in the number of press buttons 152.

Further, in the present embodiment, the transfer tool main body 1 provided with the transfer head 125 for transferring the transfer material from the transfer tape 126 to the transfer target surface, and the outer case 2 for accommodating the transfer tool main body 1 are provided and outside. When the case 2 moves relative to the transfer tool main body 1, the transfer head 125 of the transfer tool main body 1 is covered with the outer case 2, and the transfer head 125 of the transfer tool main body 1 is moved to the outside of the outer case 2. It is a transfer tool that can take an exposed usage state, and the outer case 2 is in a closed posture in which the first case member 21 and the first case member 21 are overlapped with each other and the outer case 2 is in a closed state. The second case member 22 is provided with a second case member 22 capable of taking an unfolded posture in which the outer case 2 is opened apart from the one case member 21, and is concealed in the closed posture and exposed in the unfolded posture. A transfer tool is configured in which display areas 2213 and 1213 for displaying the usage method or precautions of the transfer tool are provided on the inner surface of the second case member 22 and / or the outer surface of the transfer tool main body 1.

According to the present embodiment, by opening the outer case 2 and setting it in the unfolded posture, most or the entire area of the transfer tool main body 1 can be exposed, and the refill 12 constituting the transfer tool main body 1 can be attached / detached and replaced. Becomes easier.

The second case member 22 has a first case so that the second case member 22 can rotate between the closed posture and the deployed posture relative to the first case member 21 by the hinge 24. It is connected to the member 21.

Then, the outer case 2 rotates with respect to the transfer tool main body 1 in a predetermined virtual plane (in the present embodiment, the outer case 2 rotates between the non-used state and the used state with respect to the transfer tool main body 1). The second case member 22 rotates relative to the first case member 21 about an axis substantially parallel to the virtual plane. Since it is a thing, most or the whole part of the transfer tool main body 1 can be suitably exposed in the unfolded posture.

In the transfer tool described above, the portion related to the transfer head 125 has the following special structure. The structure will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 20 to 29.

Here, FIG. 20 is a partial bottom view of the tip portion of the refill portion 12 observed from directly below with the refill portion 12 removed from the base portion 11, except for the frame 120 and the transfer head 125 of the refill portion 12.
