The drawing is a plan view showing an embodiment of the invention.
Inside the cassette case 1 shown in Fig. 1, there is a rotating shaft 2.
a, 3a, a supply reel 2 rotatably supported, a take-up reel 3, and film guides 6a, 6b, fixed to the cassette case 1;
It is composed of 6c and 6d. The heat-fusible ink film 4 has both ends wound around reels 2 and 3, passes between film guides 6a and 6b, and 6c and 6d, and runs in the direction of arrow A as necessary during driving. The cassette case 1 also has a recess 5 into which a thermal head 7 (not shown) is inserted.
But it is profitable.

FIG. 2 shows the state in which the cassette 1 is attached to the thermal transfer device. The thermal head 7 and the film peeling pin 8 are rotatably supported by a thermal transfer device (not shown) together with a film peeling roller 9, and the thermal head 7 and the film peeling pin 8 are placed inside the recess 5 for the head. It has subsided. At this stage, the thermal head 7 of the recording paper 10 is still far away.

FIG. 3 shows the actual transfer.
At this time, the thermal head 7 and the film peeling pin 8
rotates in the direction of arrow E around the film peeling roller 9, pulls out the ink film 4 from the cassette 1, and brings it into close contact with the recording paper 10. The thermal head 7 is integrally driven in the direction of arrow F with the pin 8 and roller 9 to thermally transfer the ink on the ink film 4 to the recording paper 10, which is intermittently fed toward the top of the drawing. Repeat this while returning to the ′ direction.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the ink film 4 being painted in two tracks. The two tracks 4a and 4b are painted in the order of yellow Y, magenta M, cyan C, and black B, respectively.The first track 4a is a transfer of the outward path when traveling in the direction of arrow A, and the second track 4b is a transfer of the outward path when traveling in the direction of arrow A. It is used for the return trip when traveling in the D direction. The width W of the ink film 4 is 40 dots (4 dots/mm) of the heating element of the thermal head 7.
In this case, approximately 30mm is sufficient.

As a result, by replacing the ink film 4 once, it becomes possible to easily switch between reciprocating transfers by simply turning over the cassette 1. Furthermore, after the cassette 1 has been used both back and forth, the top cover (not shown) of the cassette 1 may be opened and only the ink film 4 may be replaced, or the cassette may be replaced with a new cassette.
