Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tape cartridge which constitutes a transfer tool for transferring a correction coating agent when, for example, correcting characters on a document.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8, a transfer tool for transferring a correction coating material to a correction portion when correcting a character or the like of a document includes a supply reel 3 around which a transfer tape 2 is wound, and a use reel 3 after use. The transfer reel 2 for winding the transfer tape 2 is rotatably held in the main body 1, the transfer tape 2 is exposed to the outside by the head 5, and the transfer tape 2 exposed with the head 5 is brought into contact with a portion to be corrected. By moving in a fixed direction while pressing, the correction coating material is transferred, and the transfer tape 2 after transfer is wound up. 6 and 7 are gears integrally formed on one side surface of each of the supply reel 3 and the take-up reel 4, the gears 6 and 7 mesh with each other, and the take-up reel 4 interlocks with the supply reel 3. Rotate.

By the way, since the supply reel 3 and the take-up reel 4 cannot be removed from the main body 1 by the above-mentioned transfer tool, when the supply of the transfer tape 2 to the head 5 is completed, only the transfer tape 2 is replaced. Is impossible. Therefore, the transfer tool cannot be reused, and as a result, the running cost of the transfer tool becomes expensive.

In recent years, the disposal of plastic products and the like has become a social problem, and effective use of resources is demanded, and it is socially required to reduce the disposal of plastic products as much as possible.

Therefore, a supply reel gear detachably attached to the supply reel, a take-up reel gear detachably attached to the take-up reel,
A transfer tool that includes a head that exposes the transfer tape to the outside and in which the supply reel and the take-up reel can be exchanged can be considered.

[0006]

However, when replacing the supply reel and the take-up reel connected by the transfer tape in the above transfer tool, for example, when the supply reel is mounted on the supply reel gear, the take-up reel is fixed. Since the transfer tape is not installed, the transfer tape hinders the mounting, and the transfer tape is loosened so that the replacement work is not easy. Particularly, in the case of a transfer tape having a surface coated with an adhesive, the adhesive adheres to the hand during replacement and is difficult to handle.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a tape cartridge which constitutes a transfer tool in which a transfer tape can be easily mounted.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a head projecting outward in a casing, a head which can be moved forward and backward with respect to the head, and interlocked rotation in a meshed state. A tape cartridge that forms a transfer tool by being attached to an interlocking portion provided with a slide table on which a supply reel gear and a take-up reel gear are rotatably provided.
A supply reel in which an unused transfer tape wound around the cartridge main body is coaxially attached to the supply reel gear and the take-up reel gear and integrally rotated, and a take-up reel for winding the used transfer tape. A groove having an appropriate length and width that allows the head to be inserted into the opening of the cartridge body, and a plurality of windings around which the transfer tape fed from the supply reel is wound near the opening of the groove. The projection is provided.

[0009]

In the tape cartridge of the present invention, a head protruding outward is provided in the casing, and a supply reel gear and a take-up reel gear are rotatably provided so as to be movable forward and backward with respect to the head and interlockingly rotating in mesh with each other. A tape cartridge which is mounted on an interlocking portion provided with a slide base to form a transfer tool, and which is mounted on the cartridge body coaxially with the supply reel gear and the take-up reel gear, respectively, and rotates integrally. A supply reel around which the transfer tape to be used is wound, a take-up reel for winding the used transfer tape, and a groove having an appropriate length and width into which the head can be inserted are provided in the opening of the cartridge body. Since a plurality of protrusions for winding the transfer tape fed from the supply reel are provided near the opening side of the groove, the tape cartridge can be slid. Moving the upper casing together with, exposed by winding a transfer tape to the head, the usable state.
