Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the transfer tape having paint or adhesive (hereinafter referred to as “paint” etc.) attached to the surface is slid while transferring and applying the paint etc. by making it slide while adhering to the writing instrument transfer such as paper. In particular, the present invention relates to a slide cover that covers the transfer head when it is not used.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in order to conceal the transfer head exposed from the applicator container in this type of applicator when not in use, there is a transfer head cover, which protects the transfer tape while the transfer head part is not in use. It is to be coated (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-9995).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above conventional one, while the transfer head cover protects the transfer tape on the one hand and conceals this when the transfer head is not used on the other hand, by sliding the transfer head cover along the transfer head, If this is the case, the surface of the transfer tape may be damaged, and the coating film surface may be peeled off. Further, the transfer tape is cut and cannot be wound. Further, in order to solve the above-described problems, a slide cover that covers the outer surface of the transfer head cover separately from the transfer head cover along the applicator container and is slidably covered has been proposed (for example, JP-A-8-267992). ), This slide cover has a problem that the holding force to the applicator container is weakened by long-time use or by heat, humidity, and material, and the head cover slides carelessly during use.
[0004]
Accordingly, the present invention improves the above-described problems, and covers the transfer head exposed from the opening of the container when not in use without damaging the supplied transfer tape, and a slide cover for covering the transfer head It is intended to surely execute the sliding.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
For this purpose, the present invention comprises a supply reel and a take-up reel, and is separately slidable on the outer surface of the head cover that guides and protects the transfer tape in an applicator that transfers and applies the transfer tape to the transfer object by the transfer head. A slide cover is provided on the surface of the applicator container so that the transfer head is exposed or hidden by sliding the slide cover guided along the inner wall of the applicator container, and the auxiliary protrusion protruding from the rear edge is pressed against the inner wall of the applicator container. Thus, the sliding with the locking piece is ensured, and further, the auxiliary protrusion is formed on the locking piece for guiding the inner wall of the applicator container, or the convex part is formed on the auxiliary protrusion toward the inner wall of the applicator container. It is provided.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Since the present invention is configured as described above, in implementation, the transfer head is housed in the applicator container via the supply reel, the supply reel gear meshing with the take-up reel, and the take-up reel gear, and the transfer head from the opening of the applicator container. To expose. Slide the slide cover that slidably fits this transfer head into the opening of the applicator container to conceal the transfer head when not in use and protect it from other objects. And the transfer head is exposed from the opening of the applicator container. When sliding, the sliding engagement protrusion is guided and moved in the sliding groove provided in the inner wall of the applicator container, but the auxiliary protrusion protruding to the rear edge also slides simultaneously, The slide cover is in close contact with the inner wall with sufficient frictional force. In addition, if the auxiliary protruding piece is formed with a convex portion toward the inner wall, a click sound can be generated when it comes into contact with the end edge of the sliding groove, and the end of the operation can be reliably notified.

【Example】
An embodiment of the present invention will be further described with reference to the drawings. (1) shows an applicator, and this applicator (1) has a supply reel (11) and a take-up reel (15) on a substrate (10) and supports a transfer head connected to the substrate (10). It comprises a cartridge body (3) having a transfer head (20) and a head cover (21) covering the transfer head (20) together with a transfer tape (22) via a member (19), and an applicator container (2) for accommodating the cartridge body. The applicator container (2) includes a slide cover (4) slidably fitted into the opening (8) where the transfer head (20) of the cartridge body (3) is exposed. A locking piece (24) is formed at the rear end (inward), and the rear end of the locking piece (24) further has a sliding locking projection (6) protruding toward the inner wall (9), This sliding locking projection (6) is guided in a sliding groove (7) provided on the inner wall (9), slides from the rear end to the front end of the sliding groove (7), and moves the transfer head (20). It is made to appear and disappear from the opening (8).
[0008]
An auxiliary protruding piece (25) is formed in a protruding manner at the front end edge of the locking piece (24), that is, at the rear end edge of the slide cover (4). This is because the slide cover (4) is made of a slightly elastic material such as resin or metal, and is held in pressure contact with the inner wall (9), and a convex portion (26 on the outer surface facing the inner wall (9). ). The convex portion (26) contacts the inner wall (9) and is further deformed to generate a click sound and notify that the operation has been completed (FIGS. 3 and 4).
[0009]
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the auxiliary protruding piece (25 ′) can be formed directly on the front end of the locking piece (24). In this case, the protrusions ( 26) can make contact and generate a higher click sound to announce its completion.
[0010]
The supply reel (11) is pivotally attached to the supply reel shaft (12) and fixed to the substrate (10) by the supply reel fixing pin (14). Similarly, the take-up reel (15) is the take-up reel shaft. Attached to (16) and fixed to the substrate (10) by the take-up reel fixing pin (18), the substrate (10) is integrated with the cartridge body (3), and the above-mentioned from the rear of the applicator container (2). It is inserted into the applicator container (2). In this embodiment, the transfer tape can be easily replenished by exchanging the cartridge body (3). However, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned cartridge type, and the applicator container (2) is appropriately divided and the container (3 ) May be a conventional one that directly accommodates the reel. Here, the supply reel gear (13) meshes with the take-up reel gear (17) to transmit one rotation to the other.
[0011]
The locking step (5) is a step for placing the transfer head (20) in an exposed state at the rear edge of the neck (23) of the slide cover (4) and contacting the opening (8). is there.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, the transfer head can be protected when not in use without damaging the transfer tape by a separate cartridge for protecting the transfer tape, and further, the sliding holding can be performed by heat and humidity. Or, it has an excellent effect that can be surely made regardless of the properties of the material.
