Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a patch applicator, and more particularly, to a compact patch applier.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when a large number of documents are to be bound, punching holes are formed at two locations along the edges of the documents by using a predetermined punch, and a binding tool is inserted through these punching holes. Has been adopted. Since the punched hole often breaks due to frequent document turning operations, a patch that can be attached so as to surround the punched hole is commercially available as reinforcement to prevent this.

In a commercially available patch, a large number of patches are attached to a release sheet, and the patches are peeled off one by one from the release sheet and attached around the punching holes.
This sticking is not only inefficient, but also involves the inconvenience that the adhesive surface of the patch is weakened because the finger inevitably touches the adhesive surface of the patch.

[0004] In order to solve such inconveniences and to make it possible to always apply patches with a certain degree of accuracy, the applicant of the present invention has applied a patch attachment that can apply a patch by a so-called one-touch operation like a stapler. Vessel was proposed (Japanese Patent Application No. 9-162386). This patch applicator has a shape similar to a stapler, and applies a patch by a simple operation in a manner similar to binding a document using a stapler.

[0005]

However, if the stapler is not used as frequently as the stapler and is often stored in a drawer of an office desk or the like, a stapler-like shape having one end wider than the other end is used. There is a demand for a compact patch applier that requires less storage space than a patch applier.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such a demand, and an object of the present invention is to provide a compact patch attaching device which requires a small storage space.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is to hold a patch having holes corresponding to the punching holes of an adherend in a stacked state, and to punch the patches one by one. A patch sticker provided so as to be able to be attached to the periphery of a press knob having a support shaft provided so as to be able to hold the patches in a stacked state and having a bulging portion formed on the tip end side for locking the patches. The press knob includes a detachable cylindrical sticking table, and the sticking table has a pedestal at one end and a receiving portion that can receive the patch and the support shaft at the other end. , Is adopted. According to such a configuration, it is possible to make the overall shape of the patch applicator compact, such as a columnar or rectangular parallelepiped, which is convenient for storage. In addition, since the attaching portion capable of accommodating the patch and the support shaft is provided on the attaching table, the attaching table also functions as a cover of the patch held by the pressing knob, and when the patch attaching device is not used, this is used. In addition to being compact and can be stored in a drawer of a desk or the like, it is possible to effectively avoid adhesion of dust and greetings to the adhesive layer of the patch.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, the support shaft is
It is preferable to adopt a configuration in which the pressing knob is provided so as to be able to advance and retreat in the axial direction. With this configuration, when a pressing force is applied to the pressing knob in order to stick the patch around the punching hole, the pressing force can be uniformly applied to the entire patch, and The patch can be stuck around evenly. Further, even if the number of stacked patches is reduced, it is not necessary to adjust the positions of the patches.

[0009] Further, the sticking table has a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape, and the pedestal is provided with a paper receiving surface provided on an outer surface of a bottom wall of the accommodating portion, and an adherend is inserted into the paper receiving surface. A perforated tongue-shaped piece member having an outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the bottom wall, which is disposed with a gap therebetween, and the paper receiving surface can receive the front end side of the support shaft. It is preferable to adopt a configuration in which a concave portion is formed. Thereby, the adherend portion in the patch attachment area can be held in a stable posture, and the position of the punching hole is adjusted to the concave portion, so that the position of the punching hole can be maintained at a predetermined position around the punching hole without displacement. Patches can be securely applied. In addition, since the outer diameter of the one-piece member is formed larger than the outer diameter of the bottom wall, the patch applicator can be placed vertically on a desk or the like in a stable state.

Further, it is preferable that a rolling prevention part is formed in at least a part of the one-piece member. Thus, even if the patch applicator is placed horizontally on a desk or the like, it is possible to prevent the possibility that the patch applicator rolls unnecessarily and falls on the floor.

It is preferable that a notch is formed in a corner portion between the accommodating portion and the paper receiving surface on the insertion side of the adherend so as to enlarge an insertion opening width of the adherend. Thereby, it becomes easy to insert the adherend into the gap between the paper receiving surface and the one member, and the efficiency of the patch attaching operation can be further improved.
