Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to a transfer tool to be used in a state that a refill having reels to wind and hold a transfer tape is installed on a transfer tool main body.
    • BACKGROUND ART
  • Conventionally, there have been proposed various transfer tools that include a refill being configured such that a refill main body supports a pair of reels to feed and wind up a transfer tape, and a transfer tool main body having a case that accommodates the refill detachable from the case (See Patent document 1, for example).
  • The transfer tool described in the Patent document 1 can transfer a transfer substance in a required width by selecting and installing one of refills more than one kind in which widths of transfer tapes are different from each other on a common transfer tool main body.
  • However, with the transfer tool described in the above Patent document, most components of the refills such as reels for winding the transfer tapes, members for holding the reels and members for covering the reels from the outside constituting the transfer tool main bodies vary in form depending on the widths of the transfer tapes. In respect to such a transfer set that a plurality of refills are prepared in relation to a common transfer tool main body, the number of components of the transfer tool set therefore becomes much larger than the number of components of a single transfer tool.
    • RELATED ART DOCUMENTS Patent Documents
  • Patent document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-178694.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
  • The present invention has paid attention to the above-described flaws, it is an object of the present invention to provide a transfer tool for which transfer tapes more than one kind that have different width are available while preventing the number of components from increasing.
    • Means of Solving the Problems
  • In order to realize the above object, the present invention has prepared the following means.
  • Specifically, a transfer tool according to the present invention is characterized in that it includes a refill being configured such that a refill main body supports a pair of reels to feed and wind up a transfer tape and a transfer tool main body having a case that is able to selectively accommodate either the refill or another refill which includes other reels having different width from the reels of the refill inside, each of the reels having a wheel part supported by a supporting shaft of the refill main body and a body part provided to be continuous with a periphery of the wheel part so that the transfer tape is wound around a periphery of the body part, the refill main body having a refill base in which at least each part corresponding to each of the reels is flat and a pair of protuberance parts protruding from one face of the refill base toward the wheel parts of the reels, each of top end faces of the protuberance parts guiding the corresponding wheel part of each of the reels.
  • Such configuration facilitates handling a variety of transfer tapes in width through adjusting positions of the top end faces of the protuberance parts and the wheel parts of the reels relative to the body parts on which the transfer tape is wound at least without changing the form of the refill base.
  • Here, shape of the protuberance part is not limited to a cylinder. A polyhedron, a partly-notched cylinder, and so on. In short, any shape may be employed as long as a top end face thereof is able to guide the wheel part of the reel.
  • And, if the transfer tool according to the to the present invention includes a transfer head to guide the transfer tape from the feeding reel toward the winding reel and each of the reels is positioned relatively with the transfer head so that the center in the width direction of the transfer tape is able to pass on the center of the transfer head, changing a feeling of use for an user is effectively avoided even though the widths of the transfer tape varies.
  • As a configuration to facilitate handling a plurality of transfer tapes that have different width without changing size of the transfer tool itself, the configuration can be cited in which each of the body parts of the reels is set such that a part of the body part is laid over a periphery of the protuberance part.
  • As a mode to facilitate unifying components of the transfer tool main body regardless of width of the transfer tape, the mode can be cited in which empty spaces are formed on both sides of each of the reels and have a width equivalent to a width of an exposed part of each of the protuberance parts that is not covered by each of the body parts of the reels.
  • With respect to the refill constituting the above transfer tool, as an example of configuration of the refill base and the reels to facilitate handling the transfer tape that has a narrow width, the configuration can be cited in which each of the reels is configured such that the body part is provided on the periphery of the wheel part to set an end face on a side close to the refill base of the body part is approximately flush with a side face close to the refill base of the wheel part.
  • When handling the transfer tape that has a large width using a common refill base, it is desirable that each of the reels be configured such that the body part is provided on the periphery of the wheel part to extend an end part on a side close to the refill base of the body part toward the refill base further than a side face close to the refill base of the wheel part and dimension of the extended portion of the body part be set smaller than protrusion dimension of the protuberance part.
  • In order to constitute a refill that facilitates getting a preferable feeling of use regardless of width of the transfer tape, it is preferable that the refill be configured such that the transfer head to guide the transfer tape from the feeding reel toward the winding reel is provided on the refill base and each of the reels be positioned relatively with the transfer head so that the center in the width direction of the transfer tape is able to pass on the center of the transfer head.
  • As a configuration to suitably support the reels even if the protuberance parts mate with the reels having the body parts with different width, the configuration can be cited in which each of the protuberance parts has a cylindrical shape with an outside diameter set smaller than an inside diameter of the body part and is provided such that an axis of the protuberance part coincides with an axis of the reel, each of supporting shafts to support each of the wheel parts of the reels protruding at a center part on a top end of each of the protuberance parts. Here, it is unnecessary that diameter of the protuberance parts be larger than diameter of the supporting shafts.
  • In addition, a transfer tool set according to the present invention, which allows selecting a desired transfer tape from among transfer tapes that have different width and can ideally be used with a refill having any width, is characterized in that a plurality of the refills including the above refills are prepared and a common transfer tool main body is able to selectively accommodate any of the refills.
  • That is, a transfer tool according to the present invention is characterized in that it includes a refill being configured such that a refill main body supports a pair of reels to feed and wind up a transfer tape and a transfer tool main body having a case that is able to selectively accommodate either the refill or another refill which includes other reels having different width from the reels of the refill inside, empty spaces being formed on both sides of each of the reels so that the case is able to accommodate the another refill instead of the refill, the another refill including the other reels that have larger width than a width that the reels of the refill have.

The protuberance parts 4 are paired to protrude from one face of the disk parts 5 a toward the wheel parts 32 a, 33 a of the reels 32 and 33, each of top end faces 4 a of the protuberance parts 4 guides the corresponding wheel part 32 a, 33 a of each of the reels 32 and 33. Specifically, each of the protuberance parts 4 has a cylindrical shape with an outside diameter set smaller than inside diameters of the body parts 32 b and 33 b. The axis of one protuberance part 4 coincides with the axis of the reel 32, and the axis of another protuberance part 4 coincides with the axis of the reel 33. Each of the supporting shafts 311 to support the wheel part 32 a, 33 a of each of the reels 32 and 33 is provided to protrude at the center part on the top end of each of the protuberance parts 4. Each of the top end faces 4 a is constituted of a ridge formed into a circular shape at an edge part on the top end of each of the protuberance parts 4. Each of the top end faces 4 a is rubbed against one side face of the wheel part 32 a, 33 a of each of the reels 32 and 33. Specifically, each of the top end faces 4 a of the protuberance parts 4 guides the reel 32, 33 by being rubbed against the outside region around the teeth for the ratchet on the one side face. Also, a pawl for the ratchet to be engaged with the teeth for the ratchet so as to inhibit reverse rotation of the winding reel 33, which is not illustrated, is provided on the protuberance part 4 corresponding to the winding reel 33 for winding up among the above protuberance parts 4. A positioning projection 5 c and positioning recess 5 d to be engaged with the second case 22 described later of the transfer tool main body 2 so as to position the medium refill 3 b itself are provided on the other face of the refill base 5. Specifically, the positioning projection 5 c is formed inside the protuberance part 4 corresponding to the winding reel 33. The positioning recess 5 d is formed inside the protuberance part 4 corresponding to the feeding reel 32 for feeding. Each of the supporting shafts 311 provided on the top of each of the protuberance parts 4 has a shaft main body 311 a having a cylindrical shape with cut parts to be inserted into the bearing 32 f, 33 f of the reel in a rotatable manner, and stopper hooks 311 b provided in the cut part to be elastically engaged with an end face of the bearing 32 f, 33 f so as to prevent the bearing 32 f, 33 f from falling off the shaft main body. A cylindrical-shaped projection 311 c and a cross-shaped projection 311 d to come into contact with the first case 21 described later of the transfer tool main body 2 so as to position the medium refill 3 b are provided on the tops of the supporting shafts 311. That is, the cylindrical-shaped projection 311 c with a circular cross section is provided on the supporting shaft 311 of the winding reel 33, and the cross-shaped projection 311 d with a cruciform cross section is provided on the supporting shaft 311 of the feeding reel 32. The attachment part 312 has a first rib 312 a protruding from one side face of the refill base 5 to be engaged with the first case 21 and a second rib 312 b protruding from the other side face of the refill base 5 to be engaged with the second case 22. The first rib 312 a has a cruciform cross section, the transfer head 34 is provided on the first rib 312 a. Specifically, the transfer head 34 includes a head main body 34 a integrally formed with the first rib 312 a and a transfer roller 34 b supported by the head main body 34 a. The head main body 34 a is composed of plate-like parts integrally provided with the first rib 312 a, a pair of guides 34 c being formed into an approximately triangular shape is provided in top end regions on both sides thereof to prevent lateral slippage of the transfer tape T. The transfer roller 34 b is attached between the top ends of the guides 34 c so that the transfer roller 34 b is rotatable.
  • Next, the wide refill 3 c constituting the third transfer tool 1 c especially shown in FIGS. 1, 12 and 15 will be described. The wide refill 3 c is configured such that a refill main body 31 supports a pair of reels 32 and 33 to feed and wind up a transfer tape T having a widest width, for example, a width of 15 mm. A refill base 5 and a transfer head 34 used as components of the wide refill 3 c are the same as the components of the above medium refill 3 b. On top of that, specific dimension of the reels 32 and 33 in the wide refill 3 c is different from specific dimension of the reels 32 and 33 in the medium refill 3 b. That is, the measure of body parts 32 b and 33 b in the wide refill 3 c is set about 5 mm larger than the measure of the body parts 32 b and 33 b in the medium refill 3 b to wind the transfer tape T having a width of 15 mm. Moreover, length of extending end parts on the side close to the refill base 5 of the body parts 32 b and 33 c toward the refill base 5 further than side faces close to the refill base 5 of wheel parts 32 a and 33 a is set long. Specifically, the length of the extended portions of the body parts 32 b and 33 c is set 2.5 mm longer. Hence, the center of the transfer tape T is located on the center of a transfer head 34 similarly to the medium refill 3 b. The transfer head 34 of the wide refill 3 c is equal to the transfer head 34 of the medium refill 3 b in shape.
  • Then, the narrow refill 3 a constituting the first transfer tool 1 a especially shown in FIGS. 1, 13, 14 and 16 will be described. The narrow refill 3 a is configured such that a refill main body 31 supports a pair of reels 32 and 33 to feed and wind up a transfer tape T having a narrowest width, for example, a width of 5 mm. A refill base 5 being a component of the narrow refill 3 a is approximately the same as the component of the above medium refill 3 b. On the other hand, a narrow head 34 s is employed instead of the transfer head 34 for the narrow refill 3 a. As especially shown in FIG. 14, the narrow head 34 s uses guides 34 c having a large thickness, a short transfer roller 34 b is attached to the narrow head 34 s. Thus, it is possible to surely prevent lateral slippage of the transfer tape T with a width of 5 mm. Moreover, the measure of body parts 32 b and 33 b of the reels 32 and 33 is set about 5 mm shorter than the measure of the body parts 32 b and 33 b in the medium refill 3 b. Specifically, each of the reels 32 and 33 is configured such that the body part 32 b, 33 b is provided on a periphery of a wheel part 32 a, 33 a to set an end face on the side close to the refill base 5 of the body part 32 b, 33 b is approximately flush with a side face close to the refill base 5 of the wheel part 32 a, 33 a.
  • Described below is the common transfer tool main body 2.
  • The transfer tool main body 2 selectively accommodates the narrow refill 3 a, the medium refill 3 b or the wide refill 3 c described above and can constitute any transfer tool among the first transfer tool 1 a, the second transfer tool 1 b and the third transfer tool 3 c. In other words, the transfer tool main body 2 is able to selectively accommodate either the refill 3 a, 3 b, 3 c including the reels 32 and 33 on which the transfer tape T with a certain width is wound or another refill 3 a, 3 b, 3 c including other reels 32 and 33 with a different width from the former reels 32 and 33 inside. The transfer tool main body 2 has the first case 21, the second case 22 attached to the first case 21 so that the second case 22 is turnable, a cap 23 attached to the second case 22 so that the cap 23 is slidable, a feeding gear 24 mounted on the first case 21, a feeding end 26 attached to the feeding gear 24 with a clutch 25 intervening between them, an intermediate gear 27 meshing with the feeding gear 24, a winding gear 28 meshing with the intermediate gear 27, and a winding end 29 integrally provided with the winding gear 28. The feeding gear 24, the clutch 25, the feeding end 26, the intermediate gear 27, the winding gear 28 and the winding end 29 constitute an interlocking mechanism to interlock the rotation of the feeding reel 32 with the rotation of the winding reel 33. The first case 21 is formed with a rear plate 21 a to cover the rear of any of the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c and a peripheral wall 21 b to cover the side of the refill 3 a, 3 b, 3 c to be able to accommodate approximately whole the refill 3 a, 3 b, 3 c. The first case 21 has a first attachment rib 21 c to fix the attachment part 312 of the refill main body 31, a winding shaft 21 d to support the winding gear 28, a feeding shaft 21 e to support the feeding gear 24, and a first hinge part 21 f that is turnably engaged with the second case 22 and able to constitute a hinge. The second case 22 is composed of a transparent resin. The second case 22 has a front plate 22 a to cover the front of the refill 3 a, 3 b, 3 c and a peripheral wall 22 b that rises on an edge part of the front plate 22 a. The peripheral wall 22 b can be engaged with and detached from the peripheral wall 21 b of the first case 21. The second case 22 has a second attachment rib 22 c to fix the attachment part 312 of the refill main body 31, a shaft stoppage recess 22 e to press the feeding reel 32 after installing the refill 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, a shaft stoppage projection 22 d to press the winding reel 33 after installing the refill 3 a, 3 b, 3 c, a cap attachment part 22 g to which the cap 23 is attached in a slidable manner, and a second hinge part 22 f that is engaged with the first hinge part 21 f so as to constitute the hinge. The cap attachment part 22 g is formed on an end part opposite to the second hinge part 22 f having a slit 22 h being an oblong hole to attach the cap 23 and a rail 22 i being a groove to lead the cap into a precise movement. The cap 23 attached to the second case 22 so that it is slidable is able to be positioned in the capping attitude where the transfer head 34 or the narrow head 34 s is capped so as to prevent the transfer head 34 or the narrow head 34 s from touching an object around it when not in use besides the usable attitude where the cap 23 abuts on the second case 22 and the transfer head 34 or the narrow head 34 s is exposed out of the transfer tool main body 2. The cap 23 has a cap main body 23 a like a curved plate to be a main constituent of the cap 23, a bump 23 b protruding from the cap main body 23 a with a bulged part on a top thereof that is passed through a medial position formed to have a wide width in the slit 22 h so as to be attached to the second case 22, and a slider 23 c that is able to slide along the above rail. The feeding gear 24 is attached to the feeding shaft 21 e so that the feeding gear 24 does not come off and is rotatable, the feeding end 26 is attached to the top end side of the feeding shaft 21 e. In detail, the feeding gear 24 has a gear part and a top end part near to the top end side of the feeding shaft 21 e, the top end part being formed into an overhanging shape. And, the feeding end 26 is pressed against the overhanging part away from the gear part, for example, by attaching a metal spring so as to constitute the clutch 25. The rotation of the feeding reel 32 when in use is certainly transmitted to the feeding end 26 because the feeding end 26 is formed into a shape that can be engaged with the rib 32 g provided on the circular disk 32 e. Meanwhile, the winding gear 28 is attached to the winding shaft 21 d so that the winding gear 28 does not come off and is rotatable. The winding gear 28 always rotates at a speed such that the winding gear 28 can wind up a larger amount of the transfer tape T than an amount of the transfer tape T to be fed during using the refill 3 a, 3 b, 3 c because the winding gear 28 has a suitable number of teeth. The transfer tape T is thereby prevented from being loosed in transferring. And, the clutch 25 eliminates the difference in speed caused by winding up rapidly compared with the feeding side. The winding end 29 integrally molded with the winding gear 28 is formed into a shape that can be engaged with the rib 33 g provided on the circular disk 33 e similarly to the feeding end 26, the rotation of the winding end 29 transmitted from the feeding reel 32 via the feeding end 26, the clutch 25, the winding gear 28 and the intermediate gear 27 is certainly transmitted to the winding reel 33. According to the embodiment, the intermediate gear 27 is rotatably attached to a small projection formed at a point intervening between the feeding gear 24 and the winding gear 28 on the first case 21, a disk part larger in diameter than a gear part meshing with the feeding gear 24 and the winding gear 28 is formed to be nearer to the first case 21 than the gear part in the intermediate gear 27. This disk part gets caught between the rear plate 21 a of the first case 21 and the feeding gear 24 besides the winding gear 28 so as to be prevented from falling off the first case 21.
  • The above-described transfer tool set S capable of constituting such transfer tools is configured such that refills more than one kind in which widths of the transfer tapes T are different from each other, more specifically three kinds of refill 3 a, 3 b and 3 c, are prepared and the common transfer tool main body 2 is able to selectively accommodate any of the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c. And, when either of the refills 3 a and 3 b is installed on the transfer tool main body 2 as shown in FIGS. 6, 12 and 13, empty spaces s1 having approximately the same width as each other are formed on both sides of each of the reels 32 and 33 in the first transfer tool 1 a, or empty spaces s2 having approximately the same width as each other are formed on both sides of each of the reels 32 and 33 in the second transfer tool 1 b. In other words, the empty spaces s1, s2 are formed on both sides of the reels 32 and 33 in the first transfer tool 1 a or the second transfer tool 1 b so that the first case 21 and the second case 22 being the case are able to accommodate the wide refill 3 c instead, the wide refill 3 c including another reels 32 and 33 that have larger width than a width that the above reels 32 and 33 have. When the wide refill 3 c is installed on the transfer tool main body 2, the reels 32 and 33 are arranged such that approximately no spaces exist on both sides of each of the reels 32 and 33 allowing the movement of the reels 32 and 33.
  • In this way, since the empty spaces s1 made with the reels 32 and 33 and the protuberance parts 4 are formed on both sides of the reels 32 and 33 and the same as each other in the narrow refill 3 a as well as the empty spaces s2 made with the reels 32 and 33 and the protuberance parts 4 are formed on both sides of the reels 32 and 33 and the same as each other in the medium refill 3 b, the center of the transfer tape T always coincides with the center c of the transfer head 34 although the transfer tapes T of the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c are different in width from each other. In addition, each of the refill bases 5 in the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c to which the transfer head 34 is attached is set in the same position relative to the transfer tool main body 2. Hence, whichever of the three kinds of refill 3 a, 3 b and 3 c is used, the position of the center c of the transfer tape T relative to the transfer tool main body 2 is uniform. Whichever of the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c is used, a feeling of use with the transfer tool set S according to the embodiment is not changed as a result. Therefore a user can suitably use the transfer tools 1 a, 1 b and 1 c regardless of the differences of the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c from each other.
  • Such configuration as above provides each of the transfer tools according to the embodiment with the specifications to facilitate handling a variety of transfer tapes T in width through adjusting positions of the top end faces 4 a of the protuberance parts 4 and the wheel parts 32 a and 33 a of the reels 32 and 33 relative to the body parts 32 b and 33 b on which the transfer tape T is wound at least without changing the form of the refill base 5.
  • In particular, since each of the reels 32 and 33 is positioned relatively with the transfer head 34 so that the center in the width direction of the transfer tape T is able to pass on the center of the transfer head 34 according to the embodiment, changing a feeling of use for the user is effectively avoided even though the widths of the transfer tape T varies.
  • In order to facilitate handling a plurality of transfer tapes T that have different width without changing size of the transfer tool 1 a, 1 b, 1 c itself, the configuration can be cited in which each of the body parts 32 b and 33 b of the reels 32 and 33 is set such that the part of the body part 32 b, 33 b is laid over the periphery of the protuberance part 4 in the medium refill 3 b and the wide refill 3 c according to the embodiment.
  • In order to unify components of the transfer tool main body 2 regardless of width of the transfer tape T and reduce the number of components, empty spaces s1, s2 having the width equivalent to the width of the exposed part of each of the protuberance parts 4 that is not covered by each of the body parts 32 b and 33 b of the reels 32 and 33 are formed on both sides of each of the reels 32 and 33 in the narrow refill 3 a and the medium refill 3 b according to the embodiment.
  • In order to facilitate handling the transfer tape T that has the narrow width of the narrow refill 3 a, each of the reels 32 and 33 is configured such that the body part 32 b, 33 b is provided on the periphery of the wheel part 32 a, 33 a to set the end face on the side close to the refill base 5 of the body part 32 b, 33 b is approximately flush with the side face close to the refill base 5 of the wheel part 32 a, 33 a according to the embodiment.
  • In order to compose the medium refill 3 b and the wide refill 3 c including the transfer tapes T that have the large widths with the common refill base 5, each of the reels 32 and 33 is configured such that the body part 32 b, 33 b is provided on the periphery of the wheel part 32 a, 33 a to extend the end part on the side close to the refill base 5 of the body part 32 b, 33 b toward the refill base 5 further than the side face close to the refill base 5 of the wheel part 32 a, 33 a according to the embodiment. Specifically, dimension of the extended portion of the body part 32 b, 33 b is set smaller than protrusion dimension of the protuberance part 4 in the medium refill 3 b. And, dimension of the extended portion of the body part 32 b, 33 b is set similar to protrusion dimension of the protuberance part 4, that is, the dimension such that enough clearance to allow relative movement is generated in the wide refill 3 c.
  • In order to compose the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c that facilitate getting a preferable feeling of use regardless of the widths of the transfer tapes T, each of the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c is configured such that the transfer head 34 to guide the transfer tape T from the feeding reel 32 toward the winding reel 33 is provided on the refill base 5 and each of the reels 32 and 33 is positioned relatively with the transfer head 34 so that the center in the width direction of the transfer tape T is able to pass on the center of the transfer head 34 according to the embodiment.
  • In order to suitably support the reels 32 and 33 even if the protuberance parts 4 mate with the reels 32 and 33 having the body parts 32 b and 33 b with different width, the configuration according to the embodiment is employed in which each of the protuberance parts 4 has the cylindrical shape with the outside diameter set smaller than the inside diameter of the body part 32 b, 33 b and is provided such that the axis of the protuberance part 4 coincides with the axis of the reel 32, 33, and each of supporting shafts 311 to support each of the wheel parts 32 a and 33 a of the reels 32 and 33 protrudes at the center part on the top end of each of the protuberance parts 4.
  • <Variation>
  • Described below is a variation of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 17 to 19. The elements in the variation that are equivalent to the ones described in the above embodiment are given the same reference signs thereas, the description thereof is omitted.
  • The transfer tool set S according to this variation is configured such that a plurality of refills, for example, a narrow refill 3 a, a medium refill 3 b and a wide refill 3 c, are prepared and the common transfer tool main body 2 is able to selectively accommodate any of the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c. As transfer tools constituted with the transfer tool set S according to the variation, similarly to the above embodiment, a first transfer tool 1 a in which the narrow refill 3 a shown in FIG. 17 is installed on the common transfer tool main body 2, a second transfer tool 1 b in which the medium refill 3 b shown in FIG. 18 is installed on the transfer tool main body 2 and a third transfer tool 1 c in which the wide refill 3 c shown in FIG. 19 is installed on the transfer tool main body 2 can be cited.
  • On top of that, the transfer tools 1 a, 1 b and 1 c according to the variation include the common transfer tool main body 2, refill bases 5 of the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c are formed into a common shape. In this variation, unlike in the above embodiment, the planar refill bases 5 without the protuberance parts 4 are employed. Each of reels 32 and 33 of each of the refills 3 a, 3 b and 3 c is formed such that a body part 32 b, 33 b is provided on a periphery of a wheel part 32 a, 33 a to set an end face on a side close to the refill base 5 of the body part 32 b, 33 b is approximately flush with a side face close to the refill base 5 of the wheel part 32 a, 33 a. And, the narrow refill 3 a for the first transfer tool 1 a and the medium refill 3 b for the second transfer tool 1 b have different spacers 4A in width from each other instead of the protuberance parts 4.
  • As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, in the narrow refill 3 a and the medium refill 3 b, the spacers 4A configured separately from the refill base 5 and each of the reels 32 and 33 intervene. For example, the spacers 4A are members formed into a ringed shape with resin. Whichever of the reels 32 and 33 that have different widths corresponding to the widths of the transfer tapes T are used, the center of the transfer tape T is located on the center of a narrow head 34 s or a transfer head 34 similarly to the wide refill 3 c through adjusting the width of the spacers 4A suitably. According to this variation, the mode is employed in which each of the reels 32 and 33 are mounted on supporting shafts 311 after putting the supporting shafts 311 through the spacers 4A while assembling the refills 3 a and 3 b.
  • As described above, since the spacers 4A having different widths from each other intervene between the refill base 5 and each of the reels 32 and 33 in the first transfer tool 1 a and the second transfer tool 1 b according to the variation, the empty spaces s1, s2 are formed on both sides of each of the reels 32 and 33 so that the first case 21 and the second case 22 being the case are able to accommodate the wide refill 3 c instead. Of course, each of the reels 32 and 33 are mounted in a state of removing the spacers 4A from the refill base 5 when the wide refill 3 c is installed, the reels 32 and 33 are consequently arranged such that approximately no spaces exist on both sides of each of the reels 32 and 33 allowing the movement of the reels 32 and 33.
  • With such configuration, the specifications are yielded to facilitate handling a variety of transfer tapes T in width through adjusting positions of top end faces 4 a of the spacers 4A relative to the wheel parts 32 a and 33 a and the body parts 32 b and 33 b of the reels 32 and 33 at least without changing the form of the refill base 5 similarly to the above embodiment.
  • Needless to say, coil springs that are put on the supporting shafts 311 or the like may used instead of the spacers 4A intervening between the refill base 5 and each of the reels 32 and 33 although the annular resin members are used as the spacers 4A in this variation.
  • While the embodiment of the present invention is described above, the concrete structures of the respective components are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
  • For example, even though the embodiment with the protuberance parts protruding from the refill base and the variations with the spacers or the coil springs and so on separate from the refill body and the reels have been disclosed, of course the mode may be employed in which wheel parts of reels protrude from body parts of the reels toward a refill base so that protuberance parts are provided on the reels. Even though the transfer tool sets according to the embodiment and the variations with the three kinds of refill that have the different tapes in width have been disclosed, of course a more transfer tape having a different width may be added. And refills being components of a transfer tool set do not always have transfer tapes to which the same transfer substance is applied. For example, there may be used not only a refill capable of applying an adhesive agent but also a refill capable of applying a correction agent. There may be used refills having transfer tapes to which an adhesive agent is applied in intermittent patterns different from each other. Even though the modes according to the embodiment and the variation in which the clutch is constituted with the metal spring have been disclosed, of course a clutch using friction between members that are engaged with each other may be provided. Interlocking the feeding reel with the winding reel does not always use the gears, the configuration in which a belt is wrapped around a pulley provided on the side of feeding and a pulley provided on the side of winding so that the belt is able to slip on the pulleys can be employed. In addition, the specific configurations, for example, the width of the tape or the property of the transfer substance itself are not limited to the above-described embodiment and the variation, and various modifications including existing ones are possible.
  • Other than that, the concrete structures of the respective components are not limited to the above-described embodiment and variation, various modifications are possible without departing from the scope and spirit of this invention.
