A forward rotation limited state (R) that can limit the normal rotation of the feeding reel D can be adopted.

The "during transfer operation" is when the transfer tape T to which the transfer material is attached by the transfer head B is pressed against the transfer target surface while the transfer tape T is operated (runs on the transfer target surface). When you are). "At the time of transfer release" means a time other than the time of transfer operation.

Therefore, the clutch mechanism G in this embodiment can take a normal rotation allowable state (P) by utilizing the tension pw applied to the transfer tape T at the time of the transfer operation.

The clutch mechanism G includes a case A capable of accommodating a reel D for feeding and a reel E for winding and rotatably supporting the reel E for winding, and a reel for feeding rotatably supported with respect to the case A. It includes a support member C and a reel D for feeding that is rotatably supported by the reel support member C for feeding.

Subsequently, the operation of the clutch mechanism G in this embodiment will be described.

At the time of release of transfer, the reel support member C for feeding, which is pivotally supported by the case A, is urged by the leaf spring c6 to take the first posture (M). At this time, the first ratchet claw d3 in the feeding reel D supported by the feeding reel support member C and the first ratchet tooth k6 provided in the case A are engaged with each other, and the feeding reel D rotates in the forward direction. Is restricted.

Next, the operation when the user starts the transfer operation for applying the correction tape agent to the transfer target surface using the transfer tool of the present embodiment will be outlined.

During the transfer operation, that is, when the transfer tape T to which the correction tape agent is attached is pressed against the transfer target surface by the transfer head B while the transfer tape T is operated, the transfer is performed with the tip pressing portion b2 of the transfer head B. The transfer tape T located between the target surface and the transfer tape T pulls the transfer tape T on the upstream side (feeding reel D side) to the downstream side. At this time, the tape guide portion c3 of the reel support member C for feeding and the support shaft c2 for pivotally supporting the reel D for feeding are downward due to the tension pw of the transfer tape T during the transfer operation (second support in FIGS. 4 and 5). It is urged in the clockwise direction about the axis j3), and the reel support member C for feeding is rotated in the second posture (N) direction against the urging force of the leaf spring c6.

That is, the clutch mechanism G rotates the reel support member C for feeding from the first posture (M) to the second posture (N) by utilizing the tension pw applied to the transfer tape T at the time of the transfer operation. It is assumed that the normal rotation allowable state (P) can be taken.

When the user stops the transfer operation, the feeding reel support member C returns from the second posture (N) to the first posture (M) due to the urging force of the leaf spring c6, so that the feeding reel D The forward rotation of is returned to the restricted state.

As described in detail above, the transfer tool shown in the present embodiment is such that the transfer tape T unwound from the feeding reel D is wound on the winding reel E via the transfer head B. .. Then, the transfer tool can take a normal rotation allowable state (P) that can allow the forward rotation of the feeding reel D at the time of the transfer operation, and can limit the normal rotation of the feeding reel D at the time of releasing the transfer. A clutch mechanism G capable of taking a state (R) is provided. The clutch mechanism G is capable of taking a normal rotation allowable state (P) by utilizing the tension pw applied to the transfer tape T at the time of the transfer operation.

Therefore, the transfer tool of the present embodiment can provide a transfer tool that can reduce the resistance to the transfer tape T during the transfer operation and contribute to a comfortable transfer operation by the user. In other words, the transfer tool of the present embodiment can reduce the resistance to the rotation of the reel D for feeding during the transfer operation, and thus contributes to providing a suitable usability to the user. ..

That is, since the clutch mechanism G can take the normal rotation allowable state (P) by utilizing the tension pw applied to the transfer tape T at the time of the transfer operation, the transfer head as in the prior art is a case. It is possible to realize a configuration that can suitably reduce the resistance to the rotation of the feeding reel D during use without adopting an unstable configuration that causes relative movement with respect to the reel D.

Therefore, in the case of the transfer tool of the present embodiment, the transfer head B does not give the user a sense of discomfort due to the transfer head moving relative to the case as in the prior art, and conversely, the transfer head B is used. It is possible to give a suitable usability to the user based on the configuration in which it is difficult to move relative to the case A.

A case A in which the clutch mechanism G can accommodate the feeding reel D and the winding reel E and can rotatably support the winding reel E, and a feeding reel rotatably supported with respect to the case A. It includes a support member C and a reel D for feeding that is rotatably supported by the reel support member C for feeding. Then, in the clutch mechanism G, the relationship between the feeding reel D and the case A is released in the normal rotation allowable state (P), and the feeding reel D and the case A are released in the normal rotation limited state (R). The forward rotation of the reel D for feeding is restricted by the involvement of the reels.

Therefore, the feeding reel D and the case A are provided by providing the feeding reel support member C rotatably supported with respect to the case A and supporting the feeding reel D with the feeding reel supporting member C. The presence or absence of the engagement (ON / OFF of the engagement) can be preferably set.

It is configured to be rotatable with respect to the case A between them. Then, the reel support member C for feeding is always urged in the first posture (M) direction by the leaf spring c6 which is an elastic member.

Therefore, the clutch mechanism G can stably position the feeding reel support member C in the first posture (M) when the transfer is released. Therefore, the transfer tool realizes a design in which the reel support member C for feeding can be changed from the first posture (M) to the second posture (N) by utilizing the tension pw applied to the transfer tape T at the time of the transfer operation. It is easy to do.

That is, in this transfer tool, based on the tension pw applied to the transfer tape T at the time of the transfer operation, the reel support member C for feeding is placed in the first posture (in the first posture) against the urging force of the leaf spring c6 which is an elastic member. Appropriate design can be performed so that the transition from M) to the second posture (N) can be performed.

The leaf spring c6, which is an elastic member, is integrally provided on the reel support member C for feeding, and the tip portion thereof can be elastically contacted with the case A.

Therefore, the reel support member C for feeding can stably take a predetermined posture, that is, the first posture (M) at the time of release of transfer without increasing the number of parts.

It is provided with a reel interlocking mechanism F that interlocks the rotations of the reel D for feeding and the reel E for winding. Then, the reel interlocking mechanism F is interposed between the feeding gear f1 that can rotate with the feeding reel D, the winding gear e4 that can rotate with the winding reel E, and the feeding gear f1 and the winding gear e4. It is provided with the intermediate gear f2. Then, the reel support member C for feeding is rotatably supported so as to coincide with the intermediate gear f2.

Therefore, even if the feeding gear f1 supported by the feeding reel support member C moves relative to the case A together with the feeding reel support member C, the feeding gear f2 is reasonably meshed with the intermediate gear f2. It is something to gain.
