Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an applicator that is applied by transferring a correction paint or an adhesive (hereinafter referred to as “correction paint or the like”) applied to the surface of a transfer tape while being in close contact with the surface of the transfer object.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in an applicator that is applied by transferring a correction paint or the like applied to the surface of a transfer tape in close contact with the surface of the transfer object, it is actually held in close contact with the surface of the transfer object. In general, a transfer head for transferring and applying a correction paint applied to the surface of the transfer tape to be applied protrudes from a container body constituting the applicator and is fixed. Therefore, if this applicator is left on a desk or the like when not being used as an applicator, the transfer head protruding from the container body and held in contact with other places for any reason will be held by this transfer head. The correction paint applied on the surface of the transfer tape is transferred by the pressure at the time of contact, causing inadvertent fouling, or in the correction paint on the transfer tape surface held by this transfer head, the above-mentioned The surface of the transfer tape that is held by the transfer head when this applicator is used due to the peeling of the correction paint, etc. caused by inadvertent contact with other places, and the dust directly adhering to the correction paint on the surface of the transfer tape. The adhesion of the corrective paint to the surface of the transfer object is hindered by the adhering dust, and the transfer tape can be transferred and applied smoothly on the transfer tape surface by the transfer head. Because the defects in coating operations, such as can not occur, a cap which covers only the transfer head that is fixedly held to protrude from the container body constituting the applicator has been proposed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-mentioned conventional stains caused by inadvertent contact with other places when the correction paint applied to the surface of the transfer tape is not used, or correction paints or adhesives caused by inadvertent contact with other places In the application work, such as peeling, and transfer or application of correction paint on the surface of the transfer tape by the transfer head cannot be performed smoothly due to dust directly adhering to the correction paint or adhesive on the surface of the transfer tape. In order to prevent the occurrence of defects, the cap mounted so as to cover only the transfer head that protrudes from the container main body constituting the applicator and is securely attached is not used as the applicator. However, when using this applicator on a desk on which various small objects are present randomly, The cap mounted to cover this transfer head is very small and easily lost, and the user must search for the cap every time it needs to cover the transfer head, It will be troublesome.
[0004]
In addition, when using this applicator continuously, it is very troublesome to attach the cap to the transfer head that is held out by protruding the cap from the container body of the applicator at the end of each operation. In the user, the cap is not attached to the transfer head of the applicator until after all the work is finally finished, and the transfer head of the applicator inadvertently contacts other places during the work, There are problems in application work such as contamination of other parts by the correction paint or adhesive applied to the surface of the transfer tape, and smooth transfer obstruction due to adhesion of dust etc. to the correction paint or adhesive on the surface of the transfer tape. There is also a disadvantage that it occurs.
[0005]
Therefore, the present invention is to improve the disadvantages of the above-mentioned conventional ones, and when the transfer head of the applicator is stored in the container body easily and reliably, left on the desk or carried in a pocket of clothes, etc. A smooth application operation can be performed by preventing contamination of the transfer tape held by the transfer head due to inadvertent contact and adhesion of dust to the transfer tape itself.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
For this purpose, a container main body and a substrate that is detachably loaded in the container main body are configured. The substrate is a supply reel for winding an unused transfer tape and a take-up reel for winding a used transfer tape. In addition, a transfer tape supply and take-up mechanism is provided in which the transfer tape is supplied via a transfer head protruding from the container main body, and the substrate is placed in a container so that the transfer head can be protruded and retracted from the container main body opening. A sealing piece that is rotatably held in the main body and that closes the container main body opening as the substrate rotates is provided.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In carrying out the present invention, after using the applicator, a supply reel that winds an unused transfer tape and a take-up reel that winds a used transfer tape, and a supply reel gear and a winding that are each coaxially mounted. The unused transfer tape is supplied to the transfer head protruding from the opening of the container main body and used for the take-up reel at the same time as it is brought into close contact with the surface of the transfer object by rotating through the engagement of the take-up reel gear. The transfer head of the substrate that protrudes out of the opening of the container main body is accommodated in the container main body by rotating the substrate in the container main body, which is integrally provided with a transfer tape supply and take-up mechanism for winding the tape. Since the sealing piece provided on the substrate rotates along with the substrate along the inner wall surface of the container body and closes the container body opening, the transfer head is released on a desk on which various small objects are scattered. Or, even if it is carried in a pocket of clothes, etc., it prevents contamination without inadvertent contact with other places, and dust adheres to the unused transfer tape itself held by this transfer head. Thus, it is possible to reliably supply and take up the transfer tape, and to smoothly apply correction paint and the like. If the transfer head moves toward the center in the radial direction as the substrate rotates, it is easier to accommodate the transfer head in the container body.
[0008]
Furthermore, if the transfer tape supply and take-up mechanism are integrated into a board, the board can be freely attached to and detached from the container body. After the unused transfer tape is used up, the board is removed from the container body and loaded with a new board. By doing so, it can be easily replaced. The substrate may be any substrate that can rotate within the container body, and may be a substrate that can freely rotate around the substrate without being pivotally attached. Further, the substrate can be rotated by appropriately projecting a knob piece integrated with the substrate from any side surface of the container body.
[0009]
【Example】
The present invention will be further described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. (1) is an applicator that is an embodiment of the present invention. The applicator (1) is a container body (2) and an unused transfer that is detachably loaded into the container body (2). A supply reel gear (7) having a supply reel (6) for winding the tape (8) and a take-up reel (9) for winding the used transfer tape (11), each being coaxially mounted; and Interlocked with the take-up reel gear (10). In addition, since the unused transfer tape (8) is supplied to the transfer head (12) protruding from the container main body opening (3) to be in close contact with the surface of the transfer object, it is used for the take-up reel (9). A transfer tape (11) that has already been wound is wound up, and a transfer tape supply and winding substrate (13) comprising these are integrally provided with a substrate (5). The substrate (5) may be provided as a cartridge type that can be fixed to the container body (2) so that it can be rotated or removed. Then, the knob piece (15) is fixed to the peripheral edge of the substrate (5), and the end portion protruding outward of the knob piece (15) protrudes from the peripheral edge of the container body (2) so as to be rotatable. . When the substrate (5) and the container body (2) have substantially the same shape, the knob piece (15) protrudes from any periphery of the container body (2) to rotate the substrate (5) within the container body (2). You can also.
[0010]
And since this transfer head (12) can protrude from the container main body opening (3) so as to be able to protrude and retract, the substrate (5) is pivotally attached to the container main body, and the substrate (5) is rotated in the container main body. A curved or elastic sealing piece (14) that moves along the wall surface (4) to close the container body opening (3) is provided, one end is fixed to the edge of the substrate (5), and the other end is a free end. As mentioned above, it is made to adhere to the inner wall surface (4). The blocking piece (14) does not necessarily have its other end in close contact with the inner wall surface (4), and the function can be sufficiently achieved by simply closing the opening (3).
[0011]
Since the applicator (1) according to the embodiment of the present invention has the above-described configuration, the use of the applicator (1) is performed with respect to the transfer head (12) protruding from the container body opening (3). At the same time as supplying the unused transfer tape (8), the transfer tape supply for winding the used transfer tape (11) on the take-up reel (9), and the substrate (5) integrated with the take-up mechanism (13), When the knob piece (15) is rotated from the outside in the container body (2) pivotally mounted, the transfer head protrudes integrally with the substrate (5) protruding outside the container body opening (3). (12) is inserted and accommodated in the container body (2). At the same time, the blocking piece (14) provided at the rear of the substrate (5) in the rotation direction is accompanied by the rotation of the substrate (5). Rotate along the inner wall surface (4) of the container body and close the container body opening (3) Transfer head (12) is accommodated in the container body (2) inside since. Therefore, the transfer head (12) holding the unused transfer tape (8) is inadvertent even if left on a desk where various small items are scattered randomly or stored in a pocket of clothes or the like. In this case, it is possible to prevent fouling due to adhesion of correction paint or the like on an unused transfer tape (8) due to contact with other places, and to the unused transfer tape (8) itself held by the transfer head (12). Since adhesion of dust can also be prevented, reliable transfer tapes (8) and (11) can be supplied and wound, and the application work of correction paint, etc. can be performed smoothly.
[0012]
When the applicator (1) according to the embodiment of the present invention is used, the container body opening (3) of the container body (2) constituting the applicator (1) is formed on the transfer tape (8) ( 11) A transfer head (12) that holds the transfer head (12) is immersed and accommodated in the container body (2), and a transfer tape supply and winding mechanism (13) including the transfer head (12) is provided on the substrate (13). 5) Since it is sealed by a sealing piece (14) provided integrally with the sealing piece (14), the edge on the side where the transfer head (12) is fitted projects radially outward from the edge on the side where the sealing piece (14) is exposed. It is desirable to do. Further, by properly rotating the substrate (5) from the outside of the container main body (2) in the opposite direction to the above, the blocking piece (14) blocking the container main body opening (3) becomes the inner wall surface of the container main body. The transfer head (12) that rotates in the opposite direction along (4) and is immersed in the container body (2) also rotates and is exposed from the container body opening (3). . As described above, the edge of the opening (3) is such that the exposed side of the transfer head (12) protrudes outward from the radial center from the transfer head (12) side. It can be easily used.
[0013]
In addition, the substrate (5) integrally including the transfer tape supply and winding mechanism (13) is detachable from the container main body (2) constituting the applicator (1), so that unused transfer can be performed. After the tape (8) has been used up, it can be easily replaced by removing the substrate (5) from the container body (2) and loading a new substrate (5). The rotation of the substrate (5) is rotated between the stoppers of the grooves provided in the container body (2), and the end point thereof stops at the position so that the rotation in the reverse direction cannot be easily performed.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the container main body constituting the applicator, the transfer tape supply and winding mechanism including the transfer head that holds the unused transfer tape and protrudes from the container main body opening, and the sealing piece that seals the container main body opening. When the coating tool according to the present invention is not used, the substrate that is rotatably loaded in the container body is rotated to hold the transfer tape. The head can be concealed and accommodated in the container body, and at the same time, the container body opening from which the transfer head protrudes is sealed with a sealing piece. It is possible to perform smooth application of corrective paint, etc. to prevent contamination to other places due to contact, prevent peeling of corrective paint on the transfer tape, and supply and wind up the transfer tape reliably. And it is intended to have an effect.
