Abstract

(57) [Summary] A tape dispenser has a housing for accommodating a tape. Tape (1) consists of a support ribbon that supports the coating of the components. The housing (4) also contains the used support ribbon from which the components have been removed. A supply of tape (1) is held on an elongated reel wound around a pair of independently rotatable spool members (2, 3).

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION                           Tape dispenser   According to the present invention, a coating component adhered to a paper surface is supported by a ribbon, and dispensing is performed. When using the sensor, the support ribbon is held by the dispenser while the coating Tape dispensers of the type where the components are transferred to the paper as a continuous strip. I do. Such tape dispensers are known and include, for example, writing or typing. Used to make corrections by applying correction ingredients to cover errors . In these known correction tapes, the tape supply and take-up spool Are provided separately in the dispenser casing, and the two spools are Thus when connected and pulled from the supply spool to use the tape The take-up spool is used to wind up the support ribbon. Also spoo Since the rotational speeds of the wheels are not the same, some kind of clutch mechanism is required. Kula Providing a switch increases manufacturing costs, which is disadvantageous. Especially for most days The spencer is intended to be discarded after the first tape has been used. is there. Also, when first manufactured and used, all tapes are supplied by the supply spool. The supply spool is emptied during final use and Because all the support ribbons are wound around the take-up spool, for each spool, Dispenser book that acts as a handle to hold the dispenser during use Requires a large amount of space in the body. As a result, if the body is not Dispenser should be used if the penser is bulky and not inconvenient The length of the tape supplied to the printer is limited. The disadvantage is that the pen or marker Thin and slender so that you can hold the dispenser in the same way you hold it If it is desirable to provide a dispenser with a Become.   In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a coating of a component transferred to the paper surface. The source of the tape consisting of the support ribbon supporting the Having a body adapted to receive only a support ribbon, the source of the tape being: An elongate ribbon wound around a pair of independently rotatable spool members To provide a tape dispenser that is held in the form of a tape.   Most advantageously, the ends of the support ribbon are connected to each other and the used support ribbon is used. Are stored on a common reel with the remaining unused tape.   Elongated reels, e.g., where the spools have the same diameter, By holding the tape supply source, it is possible with a conventional tape storage configuration. Even longer tapes can be stored in an elongated dispenser. further, Placing used support ribbon on a common reel with unused tape Allows the used ribbon to be removed, as with a prior art dispenser. No additional space is required in the housing to accommodate. Inside winding Continuous oval reel to remove tape to feed applicator head from The used carrier ribbon is returned to the outermost winding, usually by reel winding. Slip occurs between layers. This sliding friction effect is also applied to the applicator head. Relying on the tape extending from it to control the tension, thereby The need for a drive and clutch mechanism between the pools can be eliminated. Tape tension Another way to control the force is to mount the spools so that they move toward each other and The provision of spring means to separate the pool.   To facilitate a clear understanding of the present invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, in which: This will be described in detail.   FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an elliptical spool of tape.   FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the correction tape dispenser according to the present invention.   Referring first to FIG. 1, repairs such as those held in a correction tape dispenser are provided. A positive reel is shown. For example, a plastic or paper support of a certain length Supports the ribbon and the corrective component transferred onto the paper by the dispenser The tape 1 is a known tape. According to the present invention, a ribbon having a continuous ribbon The ends of the support ribbon are joined to form a loop, and the tape is Wound in several overlapping layers around equal diameter spool members 2,3 Thereby forming an elliptical reel of tape. As shown in FIG. The whole is elongated and is housed in an elongated casing 4 as described further below. Have been. The part of the tape between the inside of the reel and the outermost winding is the casing Used to push out the tape against the paper when using the dispenser Extending over the applicator head. As shown in FIG. Assembled from two parts supporting a pair of spaced spindles 6, 7 between them The two spool members 2, 3 are independently rotated around the respective axes on the spindles 6, 7. It is supported to turn. The applicator head 5 is moved from the front end of the casing. The free end supports a tip 8 with an edge 9 through which the tape passes. ing. The tape is applied to the tip by a pair of guide pins or rollers 10 and to the tip. I will be guided from here. The casing is patent application no. . . . As described in It can be adjusted to be rotatable with respect to the data head. The tape is at the leading edge 9 When the tip moves on the paper in a direction almost perpendicular to the edge. The positive coating is transferred from the support ribbon to the paper and applied as a continuous strip Be killed. New tape is withdrawn from the supply reel. In the illustrated embodiment Thus, the new tape is pulled from the innermost winding of the reel on the rear spool 3. To help separate the tape from the reel, this spool 3 Preferably having a predetermined contour to move the innermost winding out of the plane . Before moving to the applicator tip 8, the separated tape is moved to the spool at the forefront end. 2 and pass in the direction of the guide pin / roller 10. Around the edge 9 of the tip Through The support ribbon, from which the correction component has been removed, is wound at the outermost end near the front spool 2. Before being sent to the tape reel by a pair of guide pins / rollers 10 Inside. Ribbon with correction tape source used and elliptical reel of tape used As it is gradually replaced by an additional in the casing to accommodate the ribbon No space is needed.   When the tape is fed from the innermost turn of the elliptical reel, the outer layers move inward. Motion and some slippage between adjacent layers occurs. The friction between the sliding layers is Give the head the necessary tension on the tape to control the area around it. Can be used to guarantee that It is held on the elliptical reel shown in FIG. The amount of tape to be stored in the same number of layers around one cylindrical spool It is big.
