  However, in the transfer tool in which the cartridge can be replaced as described in Patent Document 1, there is a risk that the tape cartridge mounted at the time of transfer may rattle with the replacement or with lapse of time.

  The object of the present invention is a transfer tool in which a tape cartridge including a supply reel, a take-up reel, a transfer head, and a transfer tape is replaceably mounted from the case main body, even if the gripping force for gripping the case main body is small, It is an object of the present invention to provide a transfer tool that can transfer stably.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a case body including a case body and a cap body that opens or closes the case body. In a transfer tool in which a tape cartridge including a supply reel, a take-up reel, a transfer head, and a transfer tape is replaceably mounted, a protrusion provided on the tape cartridge is exposed to the outside from a through hole provided in the cap body. Protruding portions that are exposed to the outside from the through holes protrude from the outer surface of the cap body and are provided with fingertip abutting portions that gradually increase in height toward the transfer head. To do.

Further, the protrusion exposed to the outside from the through hole protrudes from the outer surface of the cap body, and is provided with a second fingertip contact portion that gradually increases in height toward the upper surface direction of the case body. Features.
In the present invention, “front” indicates the transfer head side in the longitudinal direction of the transfer tool, and “upper” indicates the upper side of the transfer tool when viewed from the cap side with the transfer head placed on the left side. .

  According to the first configuration of the present invention, the protrusion provided in the tape cartridge is exposed to the outside from the through hole provided in the cap body, and the protrusion exposed to the outside from the through hole is the cap. By providing a fingertip abutment that protrudes from the outer surface of the body and gradually increases in height toward the transfer head, the fingertip that grasps the case body is in contact with the fingertip when the case body is grasped and transferred. Even when a force in the direction of the transfer head is applied, the fingertip is less likely to slip. Further, since the fingertip directly contacts the tape cartridge, the tape cartridge can be prevented from rattling and the transfer can be stably performed.

  Also, the transfer tape is transferred to the paper surface by holding the case body of the transfer tool and moving the transfer tool while applying a force, so-called transfer pressure, to the paper surface. In order to control not only the direction but also the transfer tool, a gripping force for gripping the case body is also generated. The transfer tool of the present invention is provided with a fingertip contact portion that increases in height protruding from the outer surface of the case body in the direction of the transfer head, so that a force (transfer pressure) is applied to the engagement surface. Is converted into a force (gripping force) to the side between the case body and the cap body of the transfer tool, so that it is easy to maintain contact between the paper surface and the transfer head even if the gripping force is small. , Can be transferred stably.

  According to the second configuration of the present invention, the protrusion exposed to the outside from the through hole protrudes from the outer surface of the cap body, and the height is gradually increased in the upper surface direction of the case body. Providing the fingertip abutting portion makes it difficult for the fingertip to slip due to the force (gripping force) toward the center in the upper surface direction of the transfer tool.

  The present invention provides a transfer tool in which a tape cartridge including a supply reel, a take-up reel, a transfer head, and a transfer tape is replaceably mounted from the case main body, even if the gripping force for gripping the case main body is small. It was possible to provide a transfer tool that can be transferred.

  Next, embodiments of the transfer tool of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

  In the transfer tool 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a tape cartridge 4 including a transfer head 5 is detachably mounted on a case body composed of a case body 2 and a cap body 3. A supply reel 6 and a take-up reel 7 are independently supported on the tape cartridge 4 and a take-up gear 9 is attached thereto. In addition, the supply gear 8 and the intermediate gear 10 are attached to the case body 2. By attaching the tape cartridge 4 to the case body 2 and attaching the cap body 3, the supply gear 8, the intermediate gear 10, the take-up coil are mounted. Each gear of the gear 9 is configured to be interlocked.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the case body 2 is made of resin molded by injection molding, has a peripheral wall 2 </ b> E over substantially the entire circumference, and has a box shape with one end opened. A tape cartridge 4 is detachably attached to the shaft portions 2C and 2D provided in the case body 2. The case body 2 is provided with a head cover 11 that covers the transfer head 5 of the tape cartridge 4 so as to be rotatable by a hinge. Note that the transfer tool 1 of the present embodiment is a horizontal pull type transfer tool in which the tip of the transfer head 5 extends substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis of the supply gear 8, the intermediate gear 10, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the cap body 3 is provided with shaft portions 3D and 3E for positioning the tape cartridge on the inner surface, and the shaft portions 3D and 3E are loosely fitted to the supply reel 6 and the take-up reel 7, The supply reel 6 and the take-up reel 7 are positioned so as to be rotatable. The positioning is also performed in the through hole 3A of the cap body 3 and the protrusion 4A of the tape cartridge 4.

  Further, the cap body 3 is provided with fitting portions 3B and 3C at two positions facing the fitting portions 2A and 2B of the case body 2, and the fitting portions 2A and 2B of the case body 2 and the cap body 3 are provided. The fitting portions 3B and 3C are detachably fitted over, and by removing the cap body 3, the inside of the case body 2 can be opened and the tape cartridge 4 can be mounted or removed.

  When the cap body 3 is fitted to the case body 2, the protrusion 4A provided on the tape cartridge 4 is exposed to the outside from the through hole 3A provided on the surface of the cap body 3, and the protrusion 4A exposed to the outside is exposed to the outside. A fingertip abutting portion 4B having a height gradually protruding from the outer surface of the cap body 2 toward the transfer head 5 is provided, and the protruding portion 4A exposed to the outside has an upper surface direction of the transfer tool 1. A second fingertip abutting portion 4C whose height is gradually increased toward the fingertip is provided continuously with the fingertip abutting portion 4B.

  In order to use the transfer tool 1, the head cover 11 is rotated to expose the transfer head 5 and put into use, and then the case body is gripped. At this time, the thumb is brought into contact with the protrusion 4A of the case cartridge 4 exposed from the through hole 3A of the cap body 3, the fingertip contact portion 4B, and the second fingertip contact portion 4C, and the transfer head 5 is pressed against the paper surface. Thereafter, by moving the transfer tool 1 while controlling the transfer pressure on the paper surface, the coating layer of the transfer tape 12 can be transferred to the paper surface and used.

  In this embodiment, for the sake of convenience, the cap body is detachably fitted to the case body so that the opening in the case body can be opened and closed. However, in the mounting method of the case body and the cap body, the hinge portion is a fulcrum. It is not particularly limited as long as the opening in the case body can be opened and closed, for example, by allowing the opening in the case body to be opened and closed.

  Further, the size of the through hole of the cap body is not particularly limited, but when the case main body is gripped, the opening is such that the entire belly of the gripped finger comes into contact with the protrusion of the tape cartridge exposed from the through hole. It is preferable to have an area. Further, not only the cap body but also the through hole can be formed on the case body side, and other protrusions provided on the tape cartridge can be exposed from the through hole of the case body.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, for convenience, the tip of the transfer head is illustrated as a horizontal pulling type that extends substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis of the supply reel and the take-up reel. The transfer tool may be of a type extending substantially parallel to the rotation axis of the reel and the take-up reel. However, the horizontal pulling type is preferably used for the horizontal pulling type because the transfer pressure is easily applied to the protrusion of the case cartridge exposed from the through hole of the cap body.

  The transfer tool of the present invention is not limited to the type of transfer tape, and can be widely implemented as a transfer tool.
