Description

Transfer tool

The present invention relates to an office coating film transfer tool suitably used in an office.

Conventionally, in offices and homes, various types of adhesives and correction coatings can be transferred to transfer objects for the purpose of easily performing gluing operations and coating correction agents to correct written characters. An office coating film transfer tool has been proposed. Many of these transfer tools were coated with a transfer material on a base material in a housing having a first case and a second case having a so-called halved structure divided into a front side and a back side. Assembling work for assembling the transfer tape and delivery mechanism parts is usually performed during manufacturing.

Many proposals have been made in which the first case and the second case are rotatably connected by a hinge so that the assembly work can be easily performed and the user can easily replace the transfer tape after shipment. (For example, see Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

However, in the case of the transfer tool provided with a hinge in the housing as described above, the work of assembling the first case and the second case can be performed more accurately. However, during the assembling work, the first case and the second case Even if the case is opened, the second case will rotate unexpectedly due to its own weight depending on the orientation of the case, so the user always keeps the case open by opening the first case and the second case. Have to keep,
In other words, the present situation is that there is a demand for a simpler and more accurate assembling operation when manufacturing a transfer tool that is required to be performed more accurately and quickly.

Japanese Patent No. 4972786 JP 2000-313198 A

The present invention focuses on the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a transfer tool that can perform assembly work more easily and accurately when manufacturing the transfer tool.

In the present invention, the following means are taken in order to achieve such an object.

That is, the transfer tool according to the present invention is a transfer tool in which a transfer tape having a transfer material coated on the surface of a substrate is held in a housing, and the housing can attach the transfer tape to the inside of the first case. And a second case that can be used with the first case operably held by closing the inside of the first case, and is provided between the two cases, and the two cases are rotated. Positioning hinges that can be connected to each other and that can position the second case in an open position in which the inside of the first case is opened to the outside so that the transfer tape can be assembled. It is characterized by comprising.

Here, “the weight can be positioned so as to be inoperable toward the use posture under its own weight” means that the second case is in the use posture side regardless of the orientation of the transfer tool when the second case is in the open posture. It means that it is positioned so as not to rotate. Of course, the dead weight means the dead weight of the second case itself. Of course, the case where an external force is applied to the transfer tool in advance or the case where a centrifugal force or the like is generated by the operation are excluded. In addition, the open posture is not limited to the operation end in the direction of opening the second case with respect to the first case. That is, a mode in which a predetermined opening posture is set in the middle of the operable range of the second case and the operation can be freely performed from the opening posture to the operating end on the counter-use posture side is included. Furthermore, the angle which a 2nd case makes with respect to a 1st case in an open attitude | position is not specifically limited. That is, the minimum relative angle between the second case and the first case where the transfer tape can be assembled differs depending on the arrangement and mounting structure of the transfer tape and other mechanical parts, in other words, for each transfer tool configuration. .

If this is the case, when the user who attaches the transfer tape to the housing does not always hold the position of the second case due to the action of the positioning hinge, when the second case is to be opened It can be kept in an open position. Thus, the user does not get in the way of the second case when assembling the transfer tape. In other words, it is possible to omit the operation of the finger that has been used to position the second case so far during the assembly work of the transfer tape. As a result, the operation of opening and closing the housing can be performed more easily and accurately in the assembly process when the transfer tool is manufactured. In other words, the user can concentrate on the assembly work of the transfer tape, and can perform the work more quickly and accurately.

When assembling the transfer tape, as a specific configuration for the user to bring the second case into a desired posture with a simpler operation, the positioning hinge includes a hinge body that rotatably connects the two cases, Used by elastic reaction force when the second case is closer to the use posture than the predetermined thought point that is provided in the vicinity of the hinge body and is elastically deformable and has the hinge body as an axis and is most elastically deformed. When the second case is biased to the posture or the posture in the vicinity of the use posture and when the second case is on the side opposite to the use posture from the thought point, the inside of the first case is opened outward by the elastic reaction force, and the transfer tape The structure which is a snap hinge which has the elastic deformation part which urges | biases the said 2nd case to the open position which enabled assembly | attachment can be mentioned.

As an aspect that can further facilitate the manufacture by reducing the number of parts constituting the transfer tool, an aspect in which the first case, the second case, and the snap hinge are integrally formed with the housing can be exemplified.

In order to make the user's assembly work more reliable by urging the second case more strongly with the snap hinge, the housing is provided with a large curvature part that has a larger curvature than the surrounding area. It is preferable that the hinge main body is positioned between the elastic deformation portions that are paired with the snap hinge, and the snap hinge is provided along an edge of the large curvature portion. This is because the elastic reaction force by the elastic deformation part can be increased because the operation of the elastic deformation part due to the operation of the hinge main body increases as the curvature increases.

In addition, when the user has a transfer head that projects the transfer tape to a position exposed from the housing and supports the transfer tape and presses it in one direction intersecting the projection direction, the transfer head is transferred. When the transfer tape is pressed toward the transfer object, a force for separating both cases is applied, which affects the support strength of the transfer head. As a configuration for effectively avoiding this, there can be mentioned a configuration having an engaging portion for engaging both cases in the vicinity of the transfer head in the housing.

Also, mechanical parts are concentrated in the vicinity of the transfer head inside the casing. However, in order to effectively improve the strength of the casing in the use posture without interfering with the engaging parts to these mechanical parts, It is desirable to use an outward engagement portion having an outward projection that protrudes outwardly provided on one of the cases and an external fitting hole that is provided on the other side and can be fitted onto the outward projection.

And, in order to further improve the strength of the casing in the vicinity of the transfer head during use, it is desirable that the cap engages with both cases in the open state.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a transfer tool capable of performing the assembly work at the time of manufacturing the transfer tool more easily and accurately.

The take-up reel 33 includes a bearing portion (not shown) supported by the refill main body 31, a body portion (not shown) around which the transfer tape T after transferring the transfer material is wound, and a transfer tape to be wound. And a flange 333 for preventing the deviation of T. In this embodiment, one flange 333 on the refill main body 31 side is provided with ratchet teeth 335 that engage with the ratchet pawl 52 and constitute a reverse rotation prevention mechanism. The other flange 333 facing the one flange 333 is integrally formed with a take-up gear 334 that meshes with the transfer tool main body 2 to form an interlocking mechanism. The refill 3 according to the present embodiment includes a feeding reel 32 around which the transfer tape T is wound, and a locking portion 42 and a locking hole 324 when the feeding reel 32 is not held in the transfer tool body 2. The rotation of the supply reel 32 is prohibited by the engagement, and the rotation of the supply reel 32 due to the load transmitted from the supply reel 32 to the release protrusion 21f on the transfer tool main body 2 side when the supply reel 32 is mounted on the transfer tool main body 2. A rotation prohibiting mechanism that can tolerate this.

The transfer head 34 is for projecting the transfer tape T from the housing 20 and pressing the transfer tape T toward the transfer object. The transfer head 34 includes a head main body 341 formed integrally with the attachment portion 311 of the refill main body 31 and a transfer roller 342 supported by the head main body 341. The head main body 341 is a plate-like member provided integrally with the mounting portion 311, and a pair of substantially triangular guides 343 for preventing lateral displacement of the transfer tape T are provided on both sides of the front end side. Yes. The transfer roller 342 is rotatably attached between the tips of the guide 343. Further, a cap stopper 344 that is a protrusion that can position the cap 23 in the closed state (CL) is formed slightly above the mounting position of the transfer roller 342 in the guide 343.

The transfer tool body 2 can accommodate the transfer tape T through the refill 3. The transfer tool body 2 includes a first case 21, a second case 22 attached to the first case 21, a snap hinge 27 that connects the

cases

21 and 22 integrally and rotatably, It has a cap 23 that is rotatably attached to the case 21, a feeding gear 24 that is attached to the first case 21, and a rotating end 26 that is attached to the feeding gear 24 via a clutch 25. . The transfer tool main body 2 has a feeding gear 24 and a clutch 25 as feed mechanism components for a housing 20 made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene, which is formed by integrally forming both

cases

21 and 22 and a cap 23. And the rotation end 26 is assembled.

However, the casing 20 constituting the transfer tool main body 2 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which the

cases

21 and 22 are connected via a snap hinge 27 serving as a positioning hinge. Hereinafter, the housing 20 constituting the transfer tool body 2 will be described in detail.

In addition to the first case 21, the second case 11, and the snap hinge 27, the housing 20 engages the cap 23 for covering the transfer head 34, and the first case 21 and the second case 22 in the vicinity of the transfer head 34. An upper engaging portion 28 and a lower engaging portion 29 for strengthening from above and below are integrally formed. The housing 20 has a large curvature portion 20a having a curvature larger than that of the periphery on the other end side opposite to the one end side where the transfer head 34 is arranged, that is, a bulge with a smaller curvature radius, In the vicinity of the lower side of the large curvature portion 20a, a finger-hanging recess portion 20b formed by recessing the edge portion is formed adjacently. In other words, the curvature of the other end edge is larger and larger than the case of the conventional transfer tool because the part opposite to the position where the transfer head 34 is positioned is recessed so as to be easily held as the finger hanging recess 20b. A curvature portion 20a is formed. A snap hinge 27 is provided on the large curvature portion 20a. In addition, the casing 20 can be freely bent or elastically deformed at a portion where the thickness is partially reduced to a so-called film shape by appropriately adjusting the thickness of the elastic polypropylene material, While using the same material, a part that cannot be deformed and a part that can be deformed are formed, and each part plays a role. Moreover, although the said housing | casing 20 is not shown in figure, the transparent or translucent thing is applied. Thereby, the state of the refill 3 in the housing 20 and the remaining amount of the unused transfer tape T can be easily visually recognized from the outside of the housing 20.

The first case 21 substantially covers from the back surface to the side surface of the refill 3 so that the transfer tape can be attached to the inside. The first case 21 includes a first attachment rib 21a for fixing the attachment portion 311 of the refill main body 31, and a winding. A take-up shaft 21b that directly supports the take-up reel 33, a feed shaft 21c that indirectly supports the take-up reel 32, and a first cap stopper 21d that is a protrusion that can be engaged with the cap 23, and a second case in the use posture (R) 22 has a thin portion 21e provided as a thin portion overlapping with 22, and a release protrusion 21f for contacting the contact end 41 when the refill 3 is mounted and allowing the rotation of the operation reel 32 to be permitted. Further, in the present embodiment, the thin portion 21e is provided intermittently at the periphery of the first case 21 and is not provided so as to completely correspond to the place where the second case 22 is layered.

The second case 22 covers the front side of the refill 3 and closes the inside of the first case 21 to take a use posture (R) in which the transfer tape T is held usable together with the first case 21. To get. The second case 22 includes a second attachment rib 22a for fixing the attachment portion 311 of the refill main body 31, a take-up side holding portion 22c and a supply-side presser for holding the take-up reel 33 and the supply reel 32 after the refill 3 is mounted. It has the part 22b, the 2nd cap stopper 22d which is protrusion which can be engaged with the cap 23, and the insertion edge 22e which can be inserted and laminated | stacked in the inside of a 1st case in use posture (R).

The feeding gear 24 is attached to the feeding shaft 21c so as not to be removable and rotatable, and a rotating end 26 is attached to the distal end side of the feeding shaft 21c. More specifically, the feeding gear 24 has a substantially disk shape attached to the proximal end side of the feeding shaft 21c, and is integrally formed with a clutch 25 in which a portion close to the distal end side of the feeding shaft 21c is formed in an overhang shape. Is formed. Then, for example, a metal spring is attached to the clutch 25 so as to press the rotation end 26 from the operation gear 24, thereby generating a frictional force that can suitably function as the clutch 25.

The cap 23 is integrally attached to the first case 21 so as to be rotatable. The cap 23 is in a closed state (CL) that covers the transfer head 34 and prevents the transfer head 34 from coming into contact with surrounding objects when not in use. ) And an open state (OP) in which the transfer head 34 is brought into contact with and engaged with the

cases

21 and 22 and can be pushed out from the transfer tool body 2 and pressed against a transfer object such as paper. . The cap 23 includes a cap body 23a having a curved plate shape, a rotary hinge 23b that rotatably connects the cap body 23a to the first case 21, and a first cap stopper 21d of the first case 21 in the open state (OP). A first external fitting hole 23c that fits externally, a second external fitting hole 23d that fits externally into the second cap stopper 22d of the second case 22 in the open state (OP), and a transfer head 34 in the closed state (CL). A locking portion 23e that engages with the cap stopper 344, and a tip rib 23f that stands up outward so that the tip of the cap 23 in the closed state (CL) can be easily hooked with a finger or the like. That is, when the cap 23 is in the open state (OP) indicated by an imaginary line in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first outer fitting hole 23c and the second outer fitting hole 23d are fitted into the first cap stopper 21d and the second cap stopper 22d. Thus, the engagement between the

cases

21 and 22 is further strengthened. In the closed state (CL) shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 11, the cap 23 reliably holds the transfer tape T wound around the transfer roller 342 by the engaging portion 23 e being caught by the cap stopper 344 of the transfer head 34. Stable positioning in a protected state.

The upper engagement portion 28 is for strengthening the engagement between the first case 21 and the second case 22 at the upper portion in the vicinity of the transfer head 34 positioned at one end portion in the longitudinal direction in the front view of the housing 20. . In other words, the upper engaging portion 28 exerts a force that separates the

cases

21 and 22 in the vicinity of the transfer head 34 when the transfer tool 1 is used. Therefore, the case 20 is engaged with the

cases

21 and 22 at such a position. This is to maintain the strength of the toner and contribute to stable transfer. The upper engagement portion 28 serving as the outward engagement portion protrudes outward from the housing 20 so as not to interfere with other mechanical components in the vicinity of the transfer head 34 where the mechanical components are closest and concentrated in the housing 20. The projection 28a and the outer fitting plate 28b that can be fitted to the outward projection 28a from the outside are provided. Specifically, the upper engaging portion 28 has an outward projection 28a provided on the first case 21 side and an outer fitting plate 28b provided on the second case 22 side. When the outer fitting plate 28b does not engage with the outward projection 28a, a hinge 28e is formed so as to take a preparation position (S) standing outward from the second case 22, and the plate supported by the hinge 28e. The configuration is such that an external fitting hole 28d, which is a rectangular hole, is formed in the center of the main body 28c. In the use posture (R) (R) of the housing 20 in which the first case 21 and the second case 22 are in close contact with each other, the plate body 28c is tilted so that the outward projection 28a is inserted into the outer fitting hole 28d, and the use position (U) And

The lower engaging portion 29 is provided near the lower side of the transfer head 34 and plays a role of ensuring the strength of the casing 20 near the transfer head 34 together with the upper engaging portion 28. Specifically, the lower engagement portion 29 has the same configuration as the upper engagement portion 28. That is, the lower engaging portion 29 has an outward projection 29a provided on the first case 21 side and an outer fitting plate 29b provided on the second case 22 side. The outer fitting plate 29b is formed with a hinge 29e so as to take a position of standing outward from the second case 22 when not engaging with the outward projection 29a, and in the center of the plate body 29c supported by the hinge 29e. The outer fitting hole 29d which is a rectangular hole is formed.

However, in this embodiment, as described above, the first case 21 and the second case 22 are integrally connected by the snap hinge 27. That is, the snap hinge 27 has a hinge body 27a formed at the edge of the large curvature portion 20a of the housing 20 and a connecting band 27b. The hinge body 27a is provided between the

cases

21 and 22. The hinge body 27a that rotatably connects the

cases

21 and 22 and the connecting band 27b are close to both sides of the hinge body 27a and can be elastically deformed. It is provided by forming the material into a film shape in a triangular shape in side view. The connecting band 27b is elastic reaction force when the second case 22 is on the use posture (R) side with respect to a predetermined thought point (M) that is most elastically deformed in an operation range centered on the hinge body 27a. The second case 22 is urged to the use posture (R) or a posture in the vicinity of the use posture (R) by the above, and when the second case 22 is on the opposite use posture side than the thought point (M), It has a role as an elastic deformation portion that urges the second case 22 to an open posture (P) in which the inside of the first case 21 is opened outward by an elastic reaction force and the transfer tape T can be assembled. ing.

Hereinafter, the second case 22 and the snap hinge 27 when the second case 22 is operated with respect to the first case 21 are rotated along the direction in which the refill 3 is assembled with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. The operation will be described. First, when the refill 3 is assembled to the transfer tool main body 2, the second case 22 is set to the open posture (P) shown in FIGS. Here, for convenience of illustration, FIG. 7 shows an open posture (P) in which the second case 22 is opened by 180 ° with respect to the first case 21, but actually, as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. By the pulling action of the connecting band 27b in the hinge 27, the second case 22 is positioned at a position opened approximately at 90 ° to 120 ° or in the vicinity thereof, which is indicated by an imaginary line in FIG. In other words, in the open position (P), the second case 22 is positioned at a position (relative angle) that does not interfere even if the refill 3 that is the assembly direction of the transfer tape T is separated from the first case 21 along the assembly direction. ing. Further, when the second case 22 is operated so as to be in the use posture (R) shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the user second case 22 is moved from the open posture (P) shown by an imaginary line in FIG. Rotate to the thought point (M) indicated by the imaginary line. At this thought point (M), the connecting band 27b is positioned at a position substantially overlapping in the axial direction of the hinge body 27a and is in the most tensioned state, in other words, the most elastically deformed state. When the user moves the second case 22 closer to the use posture (R) beyond the thought point (M), the second case 22 is brought into the preparation posture (Q by the action of the connecting band 27b contracting, that is, the elastic reaction force. ) Is biased by the connecting band 27b.

Thus, in this embodiment, as particularly shown in FIG. 10, the snap hinge 27 biases the second case 22 not to the use posture (R) but to the preparation posture (Q) in the vicinity of the use posture (R). I am doing so. As a result, the transfer tool 1 according to this embodiment is used for the first time in the use posture (R) of the second case 22 with the upper engaging portion 28 and the lower engaging portion 29 engaged with each other. Can be recognized.

That is, when the second case 22 is moved closer to the use posture (R) by the snap hinge 27, the upper engagement portion 28 takes the preparation position (S) as shown in FIG. In such a preparation position (S), the outer fitting plate 28 b stands from the first case 21. As a result, the user can easily recognize that the transfer tool 1 is not yet available. Then, after rotating the second case 22 from the preparation posture (Q) positioned by the snap hinge 27 by the user himself to the usage posture (R), the outer fitting plate 28b is moved as shown in FIG. By setting the upper engaging portion 28 to the use position (U), the transfer tool 1 can be used according to the user's will. Needless to say, the lower engaging portion 29 is operated in the same manner as the upper engaging portion 28.

With this configuration, in the present embodiment, the second case 22 is opened in an inoperable state (R) depending on its own weight due to the action of the snap hinge 27 serving as the positioning hinge described above. Posture (P) positioning. Thereby, even when the user who assembles the transfer tape T by attaching the refill 3 to the housing 20 does not always hold the position of the second case 22, the second case 22 is opened when it is in the open posture (P). The posture (P) can be maintained. Thereby, the user can omit the operation of the finger that has been assigned to the positioning of the second case 22 so that the second case 22 does not interfere with the assembly work of the transfer tape T. As a result, in the assembly process when the transfer tool 1 is manufactured, the operation of opening and closing the housing 20 can be performed more easily and accurately.

In particular, in this embodiment, since the snap hinge 27 is applied as the positioning hinge, the positioning in the open posture (P) is determined from the thought point (M) by using the elastic deformation of the connecting band 27b as the elastic deformation portion. The second case 22 can be easily moved to the counter use posture. In addition, if the second case 22 is positioned closer to the use posture (R) than the thought point (M), the second case 22 can be easily positioned to the preparation posture (Q) near the use posture (R). In other words, the user can easily position the second case 22 in two desired positions by simply urging the second case 22 in either direction and exceeding the thought point (M). Thus, the user can concentrate on the assembly work of the transfer tape T, and the work can be performed more quickly and accurately.

Further, in the present embodiment, by applying the housing 20 in which the snap hinge 27 is integrally formed with the first case 21 and the second case 22, the number of parts constituting the transfer tool 1 is effectively reduced, and the transfer tool 1 Making manufacture easy.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the casing 20 has a larger curvature than the surroundings in order to make the assembling work of the user more reliable by further urging the second case 22 by the snap hinge 27. A snap hinge 27 is provided in the large curvature portion 20a. This is because the movement of the connecting band 27b due to the movement of the hinge main body 27a increases as the curvature increases, that is, the elastic reaction force against the elastic deformation increases.

Further, when the transfer tool 1 is used, there has been a concern that a force that separates the

cases

21 and 22 is applied in the vicinity of the transfer head 34, which affects the support strength of the transfer head 34. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to effectively avoid or temporarily name such a concern, an upper engagement portion 28 for engaging the

cases

21 and 22 is provided in the vicinity of the upper side of the transfer head 34.

In addition, since the vicinity of the transfer head 34 is a place where mechanical parts are particularly concentrated in the housing 20, it has been difficult to form an engaging portion at the place so far. This is because, for example, the aspect of the engaging portion so far is an aspect using a push button that must ensure operation within the housing 20 or an aspect in which the engaging member is temporarily elastically deformed inside the housing 20. This is because they were using it. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper engagement portion 28 has an outward projection 28a provided on the first case 21 and an outward engagement portion having an outer fitting hole 28d that can be fitted onto the second case 22 outward projection 28a. By doing so, the above-mentioned problems are surely solved.

In addition, in this embodiment, the cap 23 is in an open state in which the cap 23 is engaged with both

cases

21 and 22 during use, thereby further improving the strength of the housing 20 in the vicinity of the transfer head 34 during use. ing.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the cap 23 is also integrally formed with the first case 21 as a part of the housing 20, it contributes to further simplification of the assembly process.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

In the above embodiment, the snap hinge made of resin integrally formed in the housing is applied as the positioning hinge, but of course, various configurations that can position the second case in the open posture can be applied. For example, if the hinge is a hinge structure having a separate shaft and bearing, the click stop mechanism can position the second case in the open position by appropriately setting the shape of the shaft and / or bearing. Can be realized. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which can position a 2nd case in an open position by the structure which carries out uneven | corrugated engagement in the shaft and bearing vicinity. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which positions a 2nd case in the open position by the friction which generate | occur | produces by closely_contact | adhering the member on the 1st case side and the member on the 2nd case side in an axial center direction in an open position.

For example, although the above embodiment discloses the aspect related to the refill exchange type transfer tool, of course, the present invention may be applied to a so-called single use type transfer tool that opens and closes only at the time of manufacture. In addition, in the above embodiment, the snap hinge formed along the edge of the housing is disclosed, but of course, the elastic deformation portion may be provided at a location separated from the hinge body provided at the front view edge of the housing. In addition, the snap hinge itself may be provided at the opening edge so as to open and close an opening provided in a part which is not the edge of the housing instead of the edge of the housing. Further, specific aspects such as the configuration of the refill and the outer shape of the housing are not limited to those of the above-described embodiment, and various aspects including the existing ones can be applied.

In addition, the specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

The present invention can be used as an office coating film transfer tool that can transfer an adhesive or a correction coating film to a transfer object.
