Description

  The present invention relates to a coating film transfer tool used for transferring a coating film provided in a peelable state on one side of a tape to a predetermined transfer surface.

  A coating film transfer tool used for transferring a coating film provided on one side of a long tape in a peelable state onto a predetermined transfer surface has been put into practical use. Examples of the coating film include a correction paint and an adhesive. The coating film transfer tool is used as a correction tape transfer tool when the coating film is a correction paint, and as a glue transfer tool when the coating film is an adhesive. Other coating film transfer tools are used in various ways as marking tape, decoration tape transfer tools, and the like.

There are various types of coating film transfer tools having the functions as described above. Among them, there is one in which the above-mentioned tape provided with a coating film on one side thereof can be replaced.
Such a coating film transfer tool is roughly composed of a main body configured in a case shape and a refill that is detachable from the main body. The above-mentioned tape is built in the refill, and when the tape is used up (when the coating film provided on one side of the tape is transferred to the transfer surface in the entire length direction of the tape), the used refill is completed. Is removed from the body and replaced with a new refill.
In general, the refill is loaded with only the minimum elements including a tape and elements necessary for supplying the tape to the main body for the purpose of its low cost.
By doing so, the user can continuously use the coating film transfer tool while exchanging the refill, while reducing the cost of purchasing the refill that must be continuously performed.

There are various coating film transfer tools that allow refill exchange, and the first transfer reel includes a first reel that is a first rotatable reel, and a second reel that is a second rotatable reel. In that respect, the structure of existing refills is common. The first reel is wound with a tape having a coating film on one side, and the second reel is wound with a tape that can be said to be used after the coating film is transferred to the transfer surface. It is supposed to take.
On the other hand, the existing refill is required to transfer the tape supplied from the refill to the transfer surface, for example, is the transfer part mounted such as pressing the tape against the transfer surface? There is no difference.
In many coating film transfer tools, the transfer portion is provided in the refill and is replaced by replacement of the refill. In this case, the tape supplied from the first reel is transferred onto the transfer surface by the transfer portion of the refill, and is wound around the second reel.
On the other hand, there is a technique in which a transfer unit is provided in the main body and the transfer unit is not replaced when refills are replaced. In this technique, the tape supplied from the first reel is transferred onto its transfer surface by the transfer portion of the main body, and wound around the second reel. The technique of providing a transfer part in the main body has been implemented by the applicant in advance. Such a technique is excellent in that resource saving and low refill price can be achieved by not exchanging the transfer portion.

There is one problem in making the refill including the first reel and the second reel as described above detachable from the main body including the transfer unit.
That is, when the refill is in use, the tape must be tensioned between the first reel, the transfer section, and the second reel, whereas when the refill is replaced, the tape is tensioned. It is better not to.
When the refill is in use, it is necessary to apply tension to the tape in order to smoothly feed the tape from the first reel to the second reel through the transfer portion. On the other hand, if the tape is tensioned when the refill is exchanged, friction between the transfer portion and the tape existing between the first reel and the second reel or the tape is locked to the transfer portion. This makes it difficult to remove the refill from the main body. Therefore, in order to make it easy to remove the old refill from the main body or to attach a new refill to the main body when replacing the refill, It is preferable that the tape is not tensioned between the second reels, that is, in a loose state.
Such a problem does not occur when a transfer part exists in the refill. If the refill is exchanged for each transfer section, the tension between the transfer section and the tape and the locking of the tape to the transfer section can be ensured by applying tension to the tape both during use and during replacement. This is because there is no problem.

  As one measure for solving the above-mentioned problem that is characteristic when the transfer portion is present in the main body, the first reel in the main body of the coating film transfer tool passes from the first reel to the second reel. The applicant of the present application has proposed to provide a movable member that can come into contact with the tape. For example, in Japanese Patent No. 4603738, the applicant of the present application employs a case-like main body that is capable of storing a refill and is divided into two parts that can be opened and closed, and the transfer unit itself is a movable member. Adopts a rack and pinion mechanism that converts the linear movement of the main body into a rotational movement of the transfer unit according to the opening and closing of the unit, so that in use, tension is applied to the tape by the transfer unit abutted against the tape and refill replacement In some cases, the tape is loosened by preventing the transfer portion from coming into contact with the tape.

Patent No. 4603738

However, this technique is not without its improvements.
In the above-described technique proposed by the applicant, a rack and pinion mechanism is employed to convert linear motion into rotational motion. However, unlike a simple gear with a fixed shaft, the pinion meshes with the teeth of the rack while moving its teeth in a linear motion, and therefore, rattling is likely to occur. If such play occurs, the coating film transfer tool, which is commonly known to be made of resin due to cost and weight reduction problems, may cause failure due to breakage.
As described above, the refill is replaced, but the main body is used for a long time, so it is difficult to keep the possibility of failure low, and when a failure occurs, the main body is essentially required. The basic function “can be used for a long time without replacement” is not satisfied.

  This invention makes it the subject to provide the coating film transfer tool of the type which has a transfer part in a main body which can replace | exchange refill and has a low possibility of failure.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present applicant proposes the following invention.
According to the present invention, a first reel, which is a first reel on which a long tape provided with a coating film is provided in a state where the coating film is peelable on one side thereof, and the coating film is transferred to a predetermined transfer surface A coating film for transferring the coating film provided on one surface of the tape to a predetermined surface to be transferred by attaching a refill having a second reel that is a second reel for winding the subsequent tape This is a coating film transfer tool body that functions as a transfer tool.
The coating film transfer tool main body is connected to the first member so that it can move in parallel with the first member, and the refill is separated from the first member. And a second member, wherein the second member is configured to be in a closed position in which the refill can be used in close proximity to the first member. Two members are connected to the first member, the second member main body, and the second member main body so that the second member can be translated in parallel with the direction of translation of the second member relative to the first member. And a slider provided on the second member main body, abutting on the tape fed from the first reel to the second reel, and transferring the coating film of the tape onto the transfer surface. , The first than the slider A transfer portion positioned closer to the member, and a fixing portion provided on the slider for detachably attaching the refill, and when the slider is in the open position, It is located at a first position at a predetermined distance from the transfer portion, and is located at a second position farther from the transfer portion than the first position when the second member is in the closed position. Thus, the shortest distance of the tape from the first reel to the second reel through the transfer portion is longer when the second member is in the closed position than when the second member is in the open position. It is like that.
This coating film transfer tool main body becomes a coating film transfer tool by combining with a refill that can be freely attached to and detached from the coating film transfer tool body in the same manner as a conventional coating film transfer tool.
The coating film transfer tool main body includes a first member, and a second member which can be translated with respect to the first member and to which a refill is attached and which has a transfer portion. The second member can move in parallel between two positions: an open position where the refill can be attached and detached (for example, exchange) and a closed position where the refill can be used. The second member includes a second member main body connected to the first member, and a slider that can be translated with respect to the second member main body. The refill attached to the second member as described above is more specifically attached to the slider, and can be translated with the slider relative to the second member body and the first member. It has become. The slider (that is, the refill) is positioned at the first position when the second member is in the open position, and at the second position farther from the transfer unit than the first position when the second member is in the closed position. It has become.
Since the transfer portion is located closer to the first member than to the refill, the tape that reaches the second reel from the first reel through the transfer portion when the second member is in the closed position rather than when the second member is in the open position. The shortest distance becomes longer. Since the refill is used when the second member is in the closed position, when the second member is in the closed position, the shortest tape distance from the first reel to the second reel through the transfer portion is relatively Longer means that the tape is tensioned when the refill is used. On the other hand, since the refill is detachable when the second member is in the open position, when the second member is in the open position, the shortest tape distance from the first reel to the second reel through the transfer portion is relatively When the refill is shortened, it means that the tension is released from the tape and the tape is loosened when the refill is removable.
In the present invention, with such a mechanism, when the refill is in use, tension is applied to the tape between the first reel, the transfer unit, and the second reel, and the refill is attached or detached when the refill is exchanged. Sometimes we want to create a state where the tape is not tensioned. In addition, in the present invention, since there is no rotation of the transfer portion in order to create such a state, a mechanism for converting linear motion into rotational motion, such as a rack and pinion mechanism, is unnecessary. Both the parallel movement of the second member with respect to the first member and the parallel movement of the slider with respect to the second member main body, for example, make a linear groove that guides the other of them on one of them and locks the groove on the other of them For example, if a guided portion is provided, it is possible to use only a non-movable member. By doing so, the possibility of failure is reduced in the coating film transfer tool body according to the present invention.

The parallel movement of the slider with respect to the second locking portion main body may be caused by any mechanism. For example, this can be realized by the following mechanism.
The coating film transfer tool main body according to the present invention includes a first locking portion that stops the slider from moving in a direction approaching the first member by being locked to a part of the slider and the refill, and the slider And a second locking portion that stops movement of the slider in a direction away from the first member by being locked to a part of the refill, and the slider includes the first locking When the second member moves from the open position to the closed position, the second member main body moves in parallel with the second member main body. When the second member moves from the closed position to the open position, the first locking portion may be locked to the second locking portion.
In this way, basically, the slider that follows the parallel movement of the second member main body with respect to the first member is locked to the second member main body, so that the slider is moved parallel to the second member main body. Will be able to. This also leads to not increasing the number of movable parts more than necessary.
At least one of the first locking portion and the second locking portion may be provided on the first member. Of course, both of these may be provided on the first member. The first locking portion and the second locking portion should not move when the second member is translated with respect to the first member when viewed from the first member. As long as it is a part of the first member, it may be a separate part from the first member.
The coating film transfer tool body of the present application has a first locking portion and a second locking portion, and at least one of the first locking portion and the second locking portion is locked to a part of the refill. In the case where the refill is used, the refill used in combination with the refill is engaged with a part of the refill of the first locking portion or the second locking portion. You may provide the at least 1 to-be-latched part which can be stopped. By doing so, the slider can be reliably stopped by the first locking portion, the second locking portion, or both. The locked portion is provided in such a position as to obtain such an effect at a position where such an effect can be obtained, and the position and shape of the locked portion is a first locking portion with which it abuts. Or it determines relatively by the position, shape, etc. of a 2nd latching | locking part or both.

There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the structure of a 1st member. For example, a hole is formed in the portion of the first member farthest from the second member, and when the first member is located at the closed position, the transfer portion projects from the hole. May be. As described above, the second member can take an open position far from the first member and a closed position close to the first member, and the refill can be attached and detached (for example, replaced) with the second member positioned at the closed position. ), The second member is moved to the closed position so that the refill can be used. If the transfer part protrudes from the hole of the first member when the second member is positioned at the closed position, the user correctly puts the second member in the closed position based on the fact that the transfer part protrudes from the hole. You will know that you are located.
The first member and the second member are arranged so that at least one of the refills prevents the tape from being exposed to the outside in the first member and the second member when the second member is in the closed position. It may be in the shape of a case that houses the part. As described above, the refill has a function of supplying the tape having the coating film to the transfer unit and collecting the used tape. It is preferable that the tape heading from the first reel to the second reel through the transfer portion is not touched by an unplanned tape. If the first member and the second member have a case shape in which at least a part of the refill is accommodated in the second member when the second member is in the closed position so that the tape is not exposed to the outside, There is no risk of touching unscheduled items.

The applicant of the present application also proposes the following coating film transfer tool capable of obtaining the same effects as the coating film transfer tool body of the present application.
An example of the coating film transfer tool includes a first reel, which is a first reel around which a long tape having a coating film provided on one surface thereof is peeled, and the coating film is transferred to a predetermined target. A second reel that is a second reel that winds up the tape after being transferred to the surface; and a coating film transfer tool body that is used in combination with the refill, and is provided on one side of the tape. A coating film transfer tool for transferring the applied coating film to a predetermined transfer surface.
The coating film transfer tool body of the coating film transfer tool is connected to the first member so that the first member and the first member can move in parallel with each other. A second member separated from an open position in which the refill can be attached and detached, and a closed position in which the refill can be used in proximity to the first member. Yes.
The second member can be translated in parallel with a second member body connected to the first member, and in parallel with a direction of translation of the second member relative to the first member. A slider connected to the second member main body, and a tape provided on the second member main body that contacts the tape sent from the first reel to the second reel, and the coating film of the tape is transferred to the transfer target A transfer portion that is transferred to a surface and positioned closer to the first member than the slider, and a fixing portion that is provided on the slider and is detachably attached to the refill, the slider comprising: When the second member is in the open position, the transfer member is positioned at a first position at a predetermined distance from the transfer unit, and when the second member is in the closed position, the transfer unit is closer to the transfer unit than the first position. Since the second member is located at the far second position, the second member passes through the transfer section from the first reel when the second member is in the closed position than when the second member is in the open position. The shortest distance of the tape reaching two reels is increased.

The coating film transfer tool in this embodiment includes a coating film transfer tool body and a refill. As will be described later, the refill can be detachably attached to the coating film transfer tool body. The coating film transfer tool body is a coating film transfer tool having a refill attached thereto.
Hereinafter, the coating film transfer tool main body will be described first.

The coating film transfer tool main body 10 is configured as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 shows the coating film transfer tool main body 10 in a state where a second member, which will be described later, is located at a closed position, which will be described later, and FIG. The tool main body 10 is shown.
Although common to FIGS. 1 and 2, (a) is a right side view including a partial perspective view of the coating film transfer tool body, (b) is a bottom view, and (c) is a coating film in FIG. A sectional view taken along the line AA of the transfer tool body 10, (d) is a plan view, (e) is a sectional view taken along the line BB of the coating film transfer tool body 10 in FIG. (A), (f) is a front view, and (g). FIG.

The coating film transfer tool main body 10 includes a first member 100 and a second member 200.
The first member 100 and the second member 200 are both made of resin, and the internal space is generally hollow. The second member 200 can be translated between an open position away from the first member 100 and a closed position close to the first member 100.

The first member 100 includes a first bottom plate 110 having a substantially rectangular plate shape. The front portion 100A of the first bottom plate 110 has a substantially U-shaped cross section that tapers toward the front side, and the rear portion 100B has a substantially U-shaped cross section with the upper side open. The upper plate of the front portion 100A will be referred to as a first upper surface plate 120.
Also, the plate on the right side of the first member 100 that rises from the right end of the first bottom plate 110 and extends from the front portion 100A to the rear portion 100B is referred to as a first right side plate 130 and rises from the left end of the first bottom plate 110. A plate on the left side of the first member 100 existing from the front portion 100A to the rear portion 100B of the first member 100 will be referred to as a first left side plate 140.
The height of the rear portion 100B of the first right side plate 130 is about １ ／ of the height at the rear end of the front portion 100A, and gradually decreases as it goes rearward. . Although the first left side plate 140 has a substantially semi-elliptical projecting portion directed upward at the rear portion 100B, the entire height of the first left side plate 140 is the same as the rear end of the front portion 100A up to the rear end of the rear portion 100B. The height of the rear part 100B is relatively higher than that of the rear part 100B of the first right side plate 130. In addition, the substantially semi-elliptical protrusion of the first left side plate 140 has a shape that matches the side shape of the refill described later, and it is assumed that the user hangs his / her finger when using it. .

A front opening 100A1 is provided at the front end of the front portion 100A of the first member 100. The front opening 100 </ b> A <b> 1 is for exposing a transfer portion, which will be described later, to the front side of the first member 100 as described later.
Although not necessarily limited to this, an opening 111 that is a rectangular hole is provided behind the first bottom plate 110 of the first member 100. As will be described later, the opening 111 is used to lock the first member 100 and the second member 200 when the second member 200 is located at the closed position.
A cap 112 is provided below the front opening 100A1 of the front portion 100A. The cap 112 closes the front opening 100A1 when the coating film transfer tool is not used, and hides a later-described roller and a tape applied to the transfer portion exposed from the front opening 100A1. The cap 112 is capable of performing a hinge movement as indicated by an arrow X in FIG. 2A about an axis fixed to the front portion 100A by an appropriate method. When in the position shown in FIG. 2A, the front opening 100A1 is exposed, but the cap 112 hides the front opening 100A1 by turning the tip of the cap 112 upward and forward.

On the right side of the first left side plate 140 (inside the first member 100), there are provided an upper guide groove 141 and a lower guide groove 142 that extend over the entire length in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 1 (e)). FIG. 2 (e), FIG. 10, especially FIG. 10). These rear ends always reach the rear end of the first left side plate 140. The upper guide groove 141 is opened downward, and the lower guide groove 142 is opened upward. The widths of the upper guide groove 141 and the lower guide groove 142 are not limited to this, but are equal in this embodiment, and the lower guide groove 142 is positioned directly below the upper guide groove 141.
Further, on the right side of the first left side plate 140, a stepped portion 143 that protrudes inward in a crank shape is provided.

The second member 200 includes a slider support member 210 and a slider 220. The slider support member 210 and the slider 220 are also shown in FIGS.
The slider support member 210 is plate-shaped. The slider support member 210 includes a substantially rectangular main body portion 211 and a support portion 212 extending elongated in a substantially horizontal direction toward the front thereof.
The main body 211 has an upper end corresponding to the upper guide groove 141, a lower end corresponding to the lower guide groove 142, and a vertical length thereof corresponding to the upper guide groove 142. It substantially corresponds to the distance from 141 to the lower guide groove 142. The upper end of the main body 211 of the slider support member 210 is inserted into the upper guide groove 141, and the lower end thereof is inserted into the lower guide groove 142. Accordingly, the main body 211 (and the slider support member 210 to the second member 200) is guided in the front-rear direction while the upper end thereof is guided by the upper guide groove 141 and the lower end thereof is guided by the lower guide groove 142 (first member). It is movable (in the direction in which the distance from 100 approaches or moves away). As a result, the second member 200 can move in parallel between the open position, which is the position shown in FIG. 1, and the closed position, which is the position shown in FIG. The main body 211 is covered by the first left side plate 140 and is not exposed to the outside.
A transfer unit 230 is attached to the tip of the support unit 212. The transfer unit 230 has a U-shaped support member 231 with the front opened in plan view, and a width slightly larger than the width of a tape described later supported rotatably at both ends at the tip of the support member 231. And a cylindrical roller 232 having a long length. The roller 232 has a function of feeding out the tape while pressing a tape, which will be described later, against a surface to be transferred, which will also be described later.

A rear plate 213 that is a curved substantially rectangular plate extending to the right side from the rear end of the main body 211 is connected. Connected to the lower end of the back plate 213 is a second bottom plate 214, which is a substantially rectangular plate extending forward. The front end of the second bottom plate 214 is provided with a front plate 215 that is narrower and thinner than the second bottom plate 214, and is provided at the front end of the front plate 215. Is provided with a protruding piece 216 protruding downward. When the projecting piece 216 comes when the second member 200 is located at the closed position, the projecting piece 216 is fitted into the opening 111 provided in the first bottom plate 110 of the first member 100 from above. Yes. As a result, the second member 200 positioned at the closed position is fixed to the first member 100 and cannot move rearward.
In addition, when the second bottom plate 214 is pushed upward in the middle, the resin as the material may have some elasticity, and the front side of the second bottom plate 214 starts slightly from the rear end connected to the back plate 213. It can be lifted. When the front side of the second bottom plate 214 is sufficiently lifted, the protruding piece 216 provided below the front plate 215 attached to the front side of the second bottom plate 214 is in a state of being removed from the opening 111. It is like that. When the protruding piece 216 is in a state of being disengaged from the opening 111, the second member 200 is released from the first member 100, and the second member 200 is movable rearward.
At the rear end of the main body 211, the right cover plate 217A, which is a substantially rectangular and substantially vertical plate that touches the right end of the second bottom plate 214 and the rear end of the rear plate 213, and the right cover plate 217A, The right end is connected to the upper end of the cover plate 217 </ b> A, and the cover body 217 including the upper cover plate 217 </ b> B which is a substantially rectangular and substantially horizontal plate in contact with the upper end of the back plate 213 is attached.

A main body opening 211A, which is a rectangular hole, is formed near the center of the main body 211. The slider 220 which is a rectangular board is fitted here ((c) in FIGS. 3-6).
An upper notch 211A1 and a lower notch 211A2 are provided on the lower surface of the upper edge of the main body opening 211A and the left (outer) edge of the lower edge over the entire length in the front-rear direction. The slider 220 has a thinned portion at its upper end inserted into the gap between the upper notch 211A1 and the first left side plate 140, and a thinned portion at its lower end inserted into the gap between the first left side plate 140 and the lower notch 211A2. The upper end thereof is guided to the gap between the upper notch 211A1 and the first left side plate 140, and the lower end thereof is guided to the gap between the lower notch 211A2 and the first left side plate 140 to support the main body 211 or the slider. The member 210 to the second member 200 can be translated in the front-rear direction. In particular, the thickness of the rear end of the slider 220 is thicker toward the right side (the inside of the coating film transfer tool main body 10) than the portion fitted into the upper notch 211A1 and the lower notch 211A2, and the slider 220 is located in the main body opening 211A. When trying to move to the rear side, the step 143 comes into contact.

All three gears are rotatably attached to the slider 220 along the right side surface of the slider 220. The three gears are a first gear 221, a second gear 222, and an intermediate gear 223.
The first gear 221 is connected to a first reel of refill described later and rotates together with the first reel. The second gear 222 is connected to a second reel of refill described later, and rotates together with the second reel. The intermediate gear 223 is located between the first gear 221 and the second gear 222 and meshes with both of them. The intermediate gear 223 plays a role of aligning the rotation directions of the first gear 221 and the second gear 222. Note that the teeth of the second gear 222 that mesh with the intermediate gear 223 are present on the back side of the second gear 222, and thus do not appear in any of the drawings including FIG. 1 (a) and FIG. 2 (a).
On the right side surface of the first gear 221, the shaft body 221 </ b> B and the shaft body 221 </ b> B, which are coaxial with the shaft of the first gear 221, are stretched outward from the shaft body 221 </ b> B at a three-way symmetrical position about the axis. A member having a plate-like wing 221 </ b> A adapted to be taken out is provided. Of these members, the wing 221A is used to connect the first gear 221 and the first reel as described later. The shaft body 221B and the first gear 221 can slide relative to each other. The shaft body 221B and the first gear 221 are connected to each other in a coaxial state. In a normal state, the shaft body 221B and the first gear 221 are rotated at the same speed in a synchronized state. One of them slides against the other. By this slip, the rotation of the first gear 221 and the second gear 222 is suppressed, and the rotation amount of the second reel is automatically adjusted.
The right side surface of the second gear 222 is provided with a large number of connecting teeth 222A that are teeth centered on the axis. This is used to connect the second gear 222 and the second reel as will be described later.

The coating film transfer tool main body 10 is as described above.
And the refill 30 as shown in FIGS. 3-6 is attached to the coating film transfer tool main body 10, and it becomes a coating film transfer tool.
The refill 30 is made of resin, and includes a streamlined case 310 that slightly increases in height toward the rear and gradually decreases toward the rear end thereof. Various parts are built in. Although not limited to this, the case 310 is transparent, and the user can visually check the remaining amount of the tape to be described later in the refill 30. The case 310 also covers the bottom surface, the right side surface, and the top surface, but the front surface, the left side surface, and the rear surface are open.
FIG. 7 shows the refill 30 with the case removed, and FIG. 8 shows the disassembled state of the refill 30 with the case removed.
The refill 30 includes a first reel 320. The first reel 320 has a cylindrical shape, and the tape 330 before being used is wound from the base end side. The tape 330 is sent from the first reel 320 to the roller 232 of the transfer unit 230. The tape 330 may be an existing tape, is long and has a constant width, and a coating film (not shown) is attached to one surface (the outer surface of the first reel 320). The coating film may be other materials such as glue, but in this embodiment, it is assumed that the coating film is a correction paint that functions like a correction liquid when transferred to a predetermined transfer surface. A large number of grooves 321 are cut in the inner surface of the first reel 320. When the refill 30 is attached to the coating film transfer tool body 10, the grooves 321 are connected to the first gear 221 when the blades 221 </ b> A provided on the first gear 221 of the coating film transfer tool body 10 enter between them. The first reel 320 is connected. When the first gear 221 and the first reel 320 are connected, the first gear 221 and the first reel 320 rotate at the same speed in a normal state, and the force applied between them becomes excessive. In this case, the shaft body 221B to which the wings 221A are attached slides with respect to the first gear 221 as described above, so that they slide with each other. As a result, the tension applied to the first reel 320 from the tape 330 is kept constant, and conversely, the tape 330 is always applied with a constant tension.
The refill 30 also includes a second reel 340. The second reel 340 is for collecting the tape 330 that can be said to be used, that is, the transfer film 230 has its coating film transferred to a predetermined transfer surface. The second reel 340 includes three arms 341 that are connected at their base ends and extend in a three-way symmetric direction, and locking wings 342 that extend downward from the distal ends of the arms 341 in FIG. The tip of the tape 330 is fixed to one of the locking feathers 342. When the second reel 340 rotates, the tape 330 is wound around the rotating locking wing 342. When the refill 30 is attached to the coating film transfer tool body 10, the inner edge of the locking wing 342 enters between the connecting teeth 222 </ b> A provided on the second gear 222 of the coating film transfer tool body 10. The second gear 222 and the second reel 340 are connected. When the second gear 222 and the second reel 340 are connected, the second gear 222 and the second reel 340 rotate at the same speed without slipping each other.
The positions of the first reel 320 and the second reel 340 are positioned by a holder 350 having a shape as shown in FIG. The holder 350 includes a first hole 351 and a second hole 352 that are two substantially circular holes. The upper end of the first reel 320 in FIGS. 7 and 8 is inserted into the first hole 351 in a rotatable and retaining manner, and the second reel 340 is inserted into the second hole 352 in FIGS. 7 and 8. By inserting the upper end portion rotatably (the length of the arm 341 of the second reel 340 is longer than the radius of the second hole 352, the second reel 340 cannot be removed from the holder 350). And the position of the second reel 340 are determined. The mutual positions of the first reel 320 and the second reel 340 are in accordance with the mutual positional relationship between the first gear 221 and the second gear 222. Therefore, when the refill 30 is attached to the coating film transfer tool body 10, the first reel 320 can be connected to the first gear 221 and the second reel 340 can be connected to the second gear 222 at the same time.

The usage method and operation of the coating film transfer tool main body 10 to the coating film transfer tool described above will be described. This description is mainly based on FIGS.
Although common to FIGS. 3 to 6, (a) is a right side view of the coating film transfer tool, (b) is a left side view (however, left and right are reversed for easy understanding), and (c). These are the left side view of the second member 200 excluding the cover body 217 (note that it is flipped horizontally for ease of understanding), (d) is a plan view of the coating film transfer tool, and (e) is a diagram ( It is AA, BB, CC, or DD sectional drawing of a).

In order to use the coating film transfer tool, first, the refill 30 is attached to the coating film transfer tool body 10, and the coating film transfer tool body 10 is used as the coating film transfer tool.
When the refill 30 is attached to the coating film transfer tool main body 10, as shown in FIG. 3, the second member 200 is located in the open position. In this state, the refill 30 is attached to the coating film transfer tool body 10. When the second member 200 is in the closed position, the slider 220 is positioned on the foremost side of the main body opening 211A of the second member 200.
When attaching the refill 30 to the coating film transfer tool body 10, as described above, the wings 221A provided on the first gear 221 of the coating film transfer tool body 10 are inserted into the grooves 321 of the first reel 320, and The inner edges of the three locking wings 342 of the second reel 340 are inserted between the connecting teeth 222 </ b> A provided on the second gear 222 of the coating film transfer tool body 10. As a result, the first gear 221 and the first reel 320 are connected, and the second gear 222 and the second reel 340 are connected.
When the refill 30 is attached to the coating film transfer tool body 10, the tape 330 is slightly pulled out from the first reel 320 and the tape 330 is applied to the roller 232 of the transfer unit 230. At this time, if the tape 330 is loose, it is easy to attach the refill 30 to the coating film transfer tool body 10. The tape 330 exits from the lower side of the first reel 320 to the front, is folded back further forward of the roller 232, and reaches the upper side of the second reel 340.

Next, the user holds the first member 100 with one hand, pushes the second member 200 held with the other hand forward toward the first member 100, and moves the second member 200 closer to the closed position.
When the second member 200 moves forward, the slider 220 moves forward together with the main body 211 of the second member 200. At this time, the slider 220 is still in the foremost side of the main body opening 211A.
When the second member 200 moves forward to some extent, the front end of the case 310 of the refill 30 attached to the second member 200 is connected to the first upper surface plate 120 of the front portion 100A of the first member 100 and the first right side surface plate 130. I hit it. Then, the slider 220 in a fixed state with the first gear 221 and the second gear 222 connected to the first reel 320 and the second reel 320 of the refill 30, respectively, results in the front portion of the first member 100. It will be in the state latched by 100A, and cannot move forward any more (especially (a) of FIG. 4, (b)). However, the slider 220 of the second member 200 and the portions not fixed to the slider 220 (the main body 211, the support portion 212, the transfer portion 230, etc.) continue to move forward, and the slider 220 moves relative to those portions. And move backward relatively.
In this embodiment, the slider 220 that moves forward stops moving forward due to a part of the refill 30 being locked to a part of the first member 100. A part of the slider 220 may be locked to a part of the first member 100 to stop the forward movement thereof. This can be easily realized by an appropriate design change of the first member 100.

Then, the second member 200 reaches the closed position shown in FIG.
The second member 200 stops its forward movement when the front end of the cover body 217 hits a step slightly ahead of the rear end of the refill 30 that has stopped moving forward. At this time, the coating film transfer tool is configured such that the right side surface, the left side surface, the top surface, and the bottom surface of the coating film transfer tool body 10 and the outer surface of the refill 30 are surrounded by a smooth curved surface. The transfer tool body 10 and the refill 30 are designed to be so. The tape 330 heading from the first reel 320 to the second reel 340 through the transfer portion 230 is exposed to the outside surrounded by the coating film transfer tool, except for a small portion before and after the portion that covers the transfer portion 230. It becomes a state that does not.
In this state, the slider 220 has moved to the rearmost side of the main body opening 211A. As a result, the transfer unit 230 that is fixed to the main body unit 211 is moved away from the slider 220 (moved forward from the state of FIG. 3). As described above, the first reel 320 and the second reel 340 are connected to the slider 220 via the first gear 221 and the second gear 222. Therefore, the shortest path of the tape 330 from the first reel 320 to the second reel 340 via the roller 232 of the transfer unit 230 is twice the distance that the transfer unit 230 has moved forward with respect to the slider 220. The second member 200 extends more than when it is in the open position. As a result, the loosened tape 330 is stretched by being pushed forward by the roller 232. At this time, the roller 232 of the transfer unit 230 protrudes forward from the front opening 100A1 of the first member 100. The user visually observes that the roller 232 protrudes from the front opening 100 </ b> A <b> 1 of the first member 100 in addition to the feeling that the front end of the cover body 217 hits the step slightly before the rear end of the refill 30. It can be confirmed that the two members 200 have correctly come to the closed position.

In this state, the coating film transfer tool can be used.
As shown in FIG. 9, the coating film transfer tool presses the transfer portion 230 against a predetermined transfer surface S (for example, the surface of paper), and moves the coating film transfer tool to the bottom surface side. Used by.
Then, the tape 330 is smoothly pushed and moved by the rotating roller 232 while being pressed against the transfer surface S by the roller 232. The coating film M provided on the surface of the tape 330 is transferred to the transfer surface S.
When the tape 330 moves, the tape 330 is in a tensioned state, so that the first reel 320 and the second reel 340 are rotated by the force that the tape 330 moves. The first reel 320 and the second reel 340 have the first gear 221 and the second gear 222 that have their rotation directions aligned by the intermediate gear 223 and whose rotation speed is maintained at a predetermined ratio. Since they are connected so as not to slip, the length of the tape 330 fed from the first reel 320 and the length of the tape 330 collected by the second reel 340 are always kept synchronized. That is, even if the movement of the tape 330 occurs, excessive tension is not applied to the tape 330, and the tape 330 does not sag. However, as the state where the tape 330 is fed from the first reel 320 and wound around the second reel 340 continues, the diameter from the center of the first reel 320 to the outer periphery of the tape 330 becomes smaller, and the second reel 340 becomes smaller. The diameter from the center of the tape to the tape 330 increases. As a result, the speed of the tape 330 sent from the first reel 320 is decreased as it is, and the speed of the tape 330 wound up by the second reel 340 is increased, that is, the second reel 340 removes the tape 330. A state of pulling strongly occurs. When excessive tension is applied to the tape 330, the above-described slip occurs between the shaft body 221 </ b> B and the first gear 221. In a state where slipping occurs, the shaft 221B or the first reel 320 fixed to the shaft 221B continues to rotate, but the first gear 221 and the second gear 222 synchronized with the rotation of the first gear 221 are fed to the tape 330. The force to stop the rotation works depending on the amount. In addition, the second reel 340 that rotates at the same speed as the second gear 222 also acts to stop the rotation. In short, the second reel 340 tries to stop rotating by the feed amount of the tape 330 with respect to the first reel 320 that continues to rotate. And the speed at which the second reel 340 winds up the tape 330 have an appropriate relationship, and the tension applied to the tape 330 also returns to the appropriate range.
If the movement of the coating film transfer tool with respect to the transfer surface S is stopped, the application of the coating film M to the transfer surface S ends.
Further, when the coating film transfer tool is not used, the front end of the cap 112 is rotated upward and upward, so that the front opening 100A1 and the roller 232 protruding from the cap 112 are hidden. By doing so, the tape 330 is not damaged when the coating film transfer tool is not used.
Of course, when the coating film transfer tool is used again, the cap 112 is removed from the front opening 100A1.

The coating film transfer tool can be used as described above. If the coating film transfer tool continues to be used, the tape 330 that has been wound around the first reel 320 will eventually disappear. When that happens, the refill 30 is replaced.
In order to replace the refill 30, first, the second member 200 is moved backward toward the open position. When the second member 200 moves rearward, the slider 220 moves rearward together with the main body portion 211 of the second member 200. At this time, the slider 220 is still at the rearmost side of the main body opening 211A.
When the second member 200 moves rearward to some extent, the rear end of the slider 220 hits the step 143 of the first left side plate 140 of the first member 100. By doing so, the slider 220 can no longer move backward. When the second member 200 is moved rearward as it is, the slider 220 of the second member 200 and the portion not fixed to the second member 200 move rearward as they are, and the slider 220 moves relative to those portions. It will go forward (Fig. 6).
If the second member 200 is pulled rearward as it is, the coating film transfer tool will be in the state shown in FIG. 3 as a result. As already described, this state is a state in which the second member 200 is in the open position. In this state, as already described, the slider 220 is moved to the foremost side of the main body opening 211A. The fact that the slider 220 is positioned in the foremost side of the main body opening 211A means that the roller of the transfer unit 230 is removed from the first reel 320, compared to the state shown in FIG. This means that the shortest path of the tape 330 that reaches the second reel 340 via 232 is shortened. In this state, the tape 330 has a slack corresponding to the shortened path. Therefore, when the refill 30 is removed, problems such as the tape 330 being locked to the transfer unit 230 do not occur.
When the refill 30 is removed from the coating film transfer tool body 10, a new refill 30 is attached to the coating film transfer tool body 10. The method is as already described.
In this embodiment, the slider 220 that moves rearward is stopped from moving backward by a part of the slider 220 being locked to a part of the first member 100. A part of the refill 30 may be locked to a part of the first member 100 to stop the backward movement. This can be easily realized by an appropriate design change of the first member 100 or the refill 30 or both.
