Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of transferring a paint or the like by bringing a transfer tape having a paint or an adhesive (hereinafter referred to as "paint or the like") adhered to the surface of the object to be transferred. More particularly, the present invention relates to a supply reel and a take-up reel which are loaded in an applicator main body constituting the applicator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an applicator made by correcting an error or applying an adhesive has a transfer head that holds a transfer tape to which paint or the like adheres is brought into close contact with the surface of an object to be transferred and is slid. In addition, while transferring an unused transfer tape wound around a supply reel loaded in an applicator body constituting the applicator by rotating the transfer tape toward the transfer head, the transfer of the paint and the like is performed. The used transfer tape on which the transfer has been performed is wound up and accommodated by the winding reel in which the rotation of the supply reel is transmitted through meshing of the gear, but the transfer head slide speed is remarkably high. If the transfer tape is fast, the transfer tape sent from the supply reel and wound on the take-up reel may be slack. In order to eliminate the slack of this transfer tape, a part of the supply reel is exposed outside the applicator body so that the transfer tape can be forcibly wound on the supply reel. , A supply reel equipped with a rewind button on the top is attached to the supply reel shaft integrally with the supply reel gear, and when winding the transfer tape,
By rotating the rewind button of the supply reel, the supply reel gear does not rotate, and only the supply reel rotates in the opposite direction to perform winding, so that slack of the transfer tape can be eliminated. Thing (6-878)
No. 49) has been proposed.

In the above-mentioned applicator, the take-up reel loaded together with the supply reel in the applicator main body constituting the applicator has a small space in the narrow applicator main body, reduces manufacturing costs or transfers. For the purpose of facilitating confirmation of the remaining amount of tape, etc., the applicator main body constituting the applicator can be made transparent, and the used transfer tape can be guided to the take-up reel itself, and can be reliably wound. In general, there is no flange formed as described above.

[0004]

However, in the case of a conventional type in which a part of the supply reel is exposed outside the applicator body in order to eliminate the slack generated on the transfer tape by winding, as in the above-mentioned conventional one, If the user inadvertently touches the exposed supply reel when using the applicator, the winding pressure of the unused transfer tape wound on the supply reel increases, so that the paint on the transfer tape, etc. May be transferred to the back side of the transfer tape that is wound around it, and a blank part without paint etc. may occur on the transfer tape even though it is unused, so-called blocking phenomenon may occur. Further, when the contact is excessive, the rotation of the supply reel is completely prevented, and an excessive tension is applied to the transfer tape transferred from the supply reel to the take-up reel. Will lead to worst itself such as cutting, there is a possibility that still can not be used applicator itself despite remains a large amount of unused transfer tape.

Further, since two large movable members, a supply reel and a take-up reel, are loaded in the main body of the applicator constituting the applicator, the support member of the main body of the applicator is structurally arranged at a corner. Since the applicator main body must be enlarged, the applicator main body becomes large and the compactness of the applicator used by the user is lacking, and most of the support members of the applicator main body are arranged in the corners. Therefore, the strength is reduced substantially at the central portion of the main body of the applicator in which the supply reel and the take-up reel, which are movable members, are loaded, and especially when a hole is provided so as to allow contact with the supply reel. When the applicator is gripped with a strong gripping force, the applicator may be easily deformed, hindering the rotation of a movable member such as a supply reel or a take-up reel. Sagging In the case of Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 6-78349, in which the supply reel is provided with a rewind button integrated with the supply reel, the applicator main body is gripped with the above-mentioned strong gripping force. Easily deforms the applicator main body, and the deformation of the applicator main body causes a movable member such as a supply reel to come into contact with the applicator main body, thereby preventing a smooth rotation of the supply reel or the like. May not be able to perform the transfer operation.

On the other hand, if the flange is not formed in the take-up reel in the radial direction, the space in the applicator main body is certainly small as described above, and only the minimum necessary parts can be arranged. Although it is effective from the viewpoint of reducing the manufacturing cost and facilitating confirmation of the remaining amount of the transfer tape, the angle at which the transfer head of the applicator is in close contact with the surface of the transfer object during the transfer operation is insufficient. In this case, the untransferred paint and the like remain on the used transfer tape, especially on the side edge side, and the used transfer tape with the untransferred paint and the like remains on the take-up reel. However, the transfer tape cannot be wound smoothly and swings to the left and right with respect to the winding direction. Inviting trouble That there is. Particularly, in the case of the applicator in which the transfer head of the applicator is slid in the horizontal direction, the transfer tape wound around the take-up reel is moved right and left with respect to the transfer tape winding direction due to the transfer tape being sent out and twisted by the take-up path. Of the transfer tape is liable to occur, and therefore, problems such as cutting of the transfer tape are more likely to occur.

Accordingly, the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, which eliminates the slack of the transfer tape, enables smooth winding of the used transfer tape, and allows the transfer tape to be cut. It is intended to prevent serious problems and ensure that all of the transfer tape can be used up.

[0008]

For this purpose, a transfer tape which is passed between a supply reel and a take-up reel which are loaded into the coating device main body which is divided into two parts, has a transfer head which projects from an opening of the coating device main body. An applicator that is held by the tongue piece, transfers the paint or adhesive on the transfer tape by bringing the tongue piece into close contact with the surface of the object to be transferred, and sliding the tongue piece into the transfer applicator body. A supply reel and a take-up reel, which are rotatably mounted on a supply reel rotation shaft and a take-up reel rotation shaft formed integrally with the applicator body, and a collar constituting the supply reel; Friction body (for example, spring or O-ring) held in the space between the gear body of the take-up reel and the gear body that meshes
The supply reel is provided coaxially with the supply reel rotating shaft on which the supply reel is axially mounted, and a winding flange is provided on the upper surface thereof, at a position corresponding to a window portion formed on the upper surface of the applicator main body of the winding flange. Knurls, which can lock claws and the like, are protruded radially in the radial direction.

A take-up reel which is loaded together with a supply reel into the coating tool main body constituting the coating tool,
A take-up reel is rotatably mounted on the take-up reel rotating shaft, and a flange protruding in at least one end face of the take-up reel in a radial direction of the take-up reel rotating shaft,
It is formed integrally.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In carrying out the present invention, even if the transfer tape is excessively fed and the transfer tape becomes slack, the transfer reel is elastically supported coaxially with the supply reel rotating shaft on which the supply reel is mounted. In the upper surface of the winding flange to be formed, at a position corresponding to the window formed on the upper surface of the applicator main body, the knurl formed to project radially in the radial direction. After locking the fingers etc., the take-up flange is pressed in the direction opposite to the transfer tape sending direction of the supply reel, so that the collar integral with the take-up flange rotates in the same direction as the take-up flange rotates. The slack of the transfer tape, which has occurred on the transfer tape due to excessive feeding, prevents reverse rotation of the supply reel by the ratchet provided on the bottom of one main body and the ratchet claw of the supply reel that meshes with the ratchet. Since it is wrapped around the collar and stored, the transfer tape can be moderately tensioned and its slack can be eliminated, and the slack of the transfer tape can be eliminated. The knurl protruding from the upper surface of the rewind flange that reverses the supply reel is located in the window formed in the applicator main body that constitutes the applicator, so it never touches during normal work. Inadvertent contact prevents rotation of the supply reel, preventing smooth application work,
It is possible to prevent problems such as cutting of the transfer tape due to excessive tensile force on the transfer tape.

Further, the applicator main body divided into upper and lower parts is a supply reel integrally formed with a lower applicator main body rotatably mounted on a supply reel positioned substantially at the center of the applicator main body and a take-up reel. The rotating shaft and take-up reel rotating shaft are supported and fixed to each other substantially at the center of the applicator main body by a support shaft protruding inward of the applicator main body, so that the user can use strong gripping force during use. Even when the applicator is gripped, the deformation of the applicator main body, particularly at the substantially central portion thereof, can be reliably prevented by the support of the supply reel rotating shaft and the take-up reel rotating shaft, and thus occurs with the deformation of the applicator main body. It is also possible to prevent problems such as prevention of rotation of the supply reel or the like due to contact between the supply reel or the like and the inner wall surface in the applicator body.

Further, depending on the angle at which the transfer head is brought into close contact with the surface of the transfer object, paint or the like remains on the surface of the transfer tape, and in particular, the used transfer tape remaining on the side end of the transfer tape causes the used transfer tape to be removed from the take-up reel. Even if the take-up reel is swung in either the left or right direction with respect to the take-up direction, the take-up reel is pivotally mounted on the collar that constitutes the take-up reel. A flange protruding in the radial direction of the take-up reel rotating shaft formed integrally with the applicator main body is integrally formed on at least one end face (the upper end face in FIG. 3) of the take-up reel. Therefore, the used transfer tape that swings to the left or right is restrained from swinging to the right or left, and the transfer tape moves straight in the winding direction of the transfer tape. Reliable on reel The obsolete the transfer tape winding can be accommodated.
