DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring now to the drawings, preferred embodiments of the invention are described in detail below.

FIG. 1 through FIG. 22 show the mark transfer tool according to the invention, and same reference numerals indicate same constituent members or elements throughout the entire drawings.

Embodiment 1

The mark transfer tool according to this embodiment is shown in FIG. 1 to FIGS. 7A-7C . This mark transfer tool 1 is, specifically, to transfer marks in a thin film combining characters, codes, patterns or their combination arranged and formed on a mark transfer tape T (in the shown example, only a mark composed of alphabetic letters SEED) M, M, . . . , to a sheet of paper or the like, and it is a refill type having a cartridge structure allowing to exchange the mark transfer tape T as a consumable part.

That is, the mark transfer tool 1 comprises a case 2 having an appearance as shown in FIG. 1 , and a tape cartridge C having a transfer head H as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 .

The case 2 is held and manipulated by one hand, and is a flat box having a front contour shape and dimension and width enough to incorporate the tape cartridge C, and its confronting pair of flat face and back sides 2 a , 2 b are standard gripping sides when holding and manipulating by one hand. The case 2 is a plastic structure integrally formed by injection molding or the like, and a case main body 4 and a cap body 5 are separate, and the tape cartridge is detachably inserted in the case main body 4 . At the leading end of the case 2 , ahead inserting portion 6 for inserting the transfer head H in and out is formed.

The tape cartridge C is an exchangeable consumable part. The tape cartridge C consists of a pay-out reel 11 on which a mark transfer tape T is wound, and a rotatable take-up reel 12 for collecting the mark transfer tape T after use, which are rotatably installed in a cartridge case 10 , and further a transfer head H for pressing and transferring the mark transfer tape to the correction area is installed rotatably about the head axial center.

Although not specifically shown in the drawing, the tape cartridge C further includes a tape interlocking unit for mutually interlocking the pay-out reel 11 and take-up reel 12 , a clutch mechanism for synchronizing the pay-out speed and take-up speed of the mark transfer tape T in the pay-out reel 11 and take-up reel 12 , and other principal and basic components, which are assembled as a unit.

The cartridge case 10 is made of synthetic resin in a form of a cartridge case for accommodating the both reels 11 , 12 , and its shape and dimensions are set to be lightweight and compact in a range of having holding functions of both reels 11 , 12 , and more specifically it is a skeletal structure mainly composed of thin skeletal members.

The mark transfer tape T is to supply transfer marks M continuously, and pressure-sensitive adhesive transfer marks M are disposed and held on the surface of a base tape 15 continuously and peelably at specified intervals. Between the transfer marks M, M, division bodily sensing means 20 showing the division position of transfer marks M is disposed, and corresponding to this, at the tape traveling part of the transfer head H, a bodily sensing engaging part 21 to be engaged with the division bodily sensing means 20 is provided.

In the shown embodiment, the mark transfer tape T has a sectional structure as shown in FIG. 5 , and on the surface of the base tape 15 (the lower side in FIG. 5 B and FIG. 5 C), a transfer mark layer 16 composed of multiple transfer marks M, M, . . . is peelably adhered and held. Since the drawings are intended to help understanding, they are schematic and magnified in the thickness direction, but actually the mark transfer tape T is a thin film, and the boundary of layers is not so clear as illustrated.

The base tape 15 has its both face and back sides processed to be peelable, that is, it is a film tape made of plastic or paper material, having the surface treated to be separable or peelable from the adjacent layers or materials, and a non-stretchable flexible film is preferably used.

The transfer mark layer 16 is a laminate structure integrally laminating a mark forming layer 17 , a mark array layer 18 , and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 19 . This transfer mark layer 16 is continuous over the overall length of the base tape 15 , that is, the transfer marks M, M, . . . are formed continuously, and are properly cut off by transfer operation of the transfer head H at the time of mark transfer.

The mark forming layer 17 is intended to facilitate formation (specifically printing) of mark array layer 18 , and has a function of adhering and holding the transfer mark layer 16 on the surface of the base tape 15 , and a surface layer is formed after transfer of transfer mark M. The mark forming layer 17 is made of an adhesive transparent material. That is, the mark forming layer 17 is preferably made of a transparent see-through resin material of dry type suited to surface layer after parting, having a proper adhesion holding property on the parted surface of the base tape 15 .

The mark array layer 18 is composed of multiple marks (in the shown example, only a mark composed of alphabetic letters SEED) M′, M′, M′, . . . arranged continuously and peelable at specific intervals in the running direction of the base tape 15 , and is specifically formed on the mark forming layer 17 by a known printing technology.

The printing method of the mark array layer 18 includes various known printing techniques, specifically, typographic (relief) printing, offset printing, gravure (intaglio) printing, or silk screen printing, and further novel printing techniques such as laser printer, heat transfer, and ink jet printer systems, which may be properly selected depending on the properties of the forming object area (in the shown case, the mark forming layer 17 ).

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 19 is used to press and adhere the transfer mark layer 16 to the correction area, and to form a surface layer of mark transfer tape T before transfer, and this pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 19 is made of a pressure-sensitive transparent material. That is, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 19 is preferably made of a transparent see-through adhesive material of dry type suited to a surface layer before parting, having a pressure-sensitive adhesion to the correction area.

Such laminated transfer mark layer 16 is, as shown in FIG. 5 , adhered and held on the surface (the lower side in FIG. 5 B and FIG. 5C ) of the base tape 15 processed for parting, peelably and separably through the mark forming layer 17 .

The division bodily sensing means 20 is specifically, as shown in FIG. 5 , a bodily sensing sliding part printed and formed on the surface (the lower side in FIG. 5 B and FIG. 5C ) of the transfer mark layer 16 , and its printing method is one of various conventional printing techniques same as in the case of the mark array layer 18 .

This bodily sensing sliding part 20 is formed corresponding to the mutually adjacent transfer marks M, M of the transfer mark layer 16 , and is formed, for example, by known printing process on the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 19 in the transfer mark layer 16 .

This bodily sensing sliding part 20 has the same sliding characteristics as the parting process applied to the surface and back sides of the base tape 15 , covers the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 19 to extinguish the pressure adhesion of this portion on the correction area. This bodily sensing sliding part 20 is made of a transparent parting material same as the mark forming layer 17 and pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 19 .

The specific forming position of the bodily sensing sliding part 20 is set corresponding to the bodily sensing engaging part 21 of the transfer head H, and is set so as to indicate the division position of one transfer mark M, or the transfer completion position in the shown embodiment, by bodily sensation, when the bodily sensing sliding part 20 is engaged with the bodily sensing engaging part 21 in the mark transfer operation of the mark transfer tool 1 mentioned below to cause a sliding phenomenon in the engaging position.

The bodily sensing engaging part 21 corresponding to the bodily sensing sliding part 20 is set at the tape traveling part of the transfer head H, and the leading edge of the transfer head, that is, the leading end pressing portion 25 functions also as the bodily sensing engaging part 21 .

That is, the mark transfer tape T paid out from the pay-out reel 11 is guided into the leading end pressing portion 25 along the tape traveling surface at one side of the transfer head H, and passes through the leading end pressing portion 25 and is inverted, and is further guided along the tape traveling surface of the opposite side, and taken up on the take-up reel 12 , and as shown in FIG. 4 A and FIG. 4B , the transfer completion position of one transfer mark M is indicated by bodily sensation when the bodily sensing sliding part 20 of the mark transfer tape T is engaged with the leading end pressing portion 25 ( 21 ) of the transfer head H to cause a sliding phenomenon in the engaging position.

More specifically, when the bodily sensing sliding part 20 of the mark transfer tape T is engaged with the leading end pressing portion 25 ( 21 ) of the transfer head H, sliding occurs between the bodily sensing sliding part 20 and the correction area, and running of the mark transfer tape T is stopped, and the mark transfer action is disabled, so that the user knows the transfer complete position of one transfer mark M by bodily sensation. To start transfer action of next transfer mark M, as mentioned below, while pressing the leading end pressing part 25 of the transfer head H somewhat firmly on the correction area preliminarily, by moving on the correction area, running of the mark transfer tape T is started again, so that the mark transfer action is enabled.

The mark transfer tape T in the shown embodiment is manufactured as a band having a tape width corresponding to plural mark transfer tapes T, T, . . . as shown in FIG. 5A , and cut and formed in a width of one tape T by slitter or other cutting device.

According to a specific forming method of the transfer mark layer 16 , the mark forming layer 17 is applied and formed on the surface of the base tape 15 , the mark array layer 18 is printed and formed on the surface of the mark forming layer 17 , and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 19 is applied and formed thereon, and finally the bodily sensing sliding part 20 is printed and formed on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 19 .

The transfer head H presses the mark transfer tape T to a correction area on a sheet of paper, and it is disposed at the leading end of the cartridge case 10 , and has a function of guiding the mark transfer tape T and a function of pressing.

A specific structure of the transfer head H comprises a head main body 30 , a head holding portion 31 , and a rotary operation portion 32 . The head main body 30 is held rotatably about its axial center, that is, a so-called rotary head structure is formed.

The head main body 30 is to press and transfer the mark transfer tape T, and is shaped to be suited to transfer accurately to a desired transfer position, that is, in a pointed form.

The head main body 30 in the shown example is a thin plate having a rectangular shape slightly wider than the mark transfer tape T, and has a taper section, being pointed in a side view so as to be gradually thin toward the leading end. The head main body 30 has flat both side surfaces 30 a , 30 b , which form tape traveling surfaces, and a leading edge 25 is a leading end pressing portion for pressing the mark transfer tape T as mentioned above and also functions as the bodily sensing engaging part 21 . This leading end pressing portion 25 is a straight edge orthogonal to the tape traveling direction in the tape traveling surfaces 30 a , 30 b . At both side edges of the head main body 30 , guide flanges 33 , 33 are formed for guiding running of mark transfer tape T.

If the thickness of the plate for composing the head main body 30 is relatively small, tapering as shown in the drawing is not always necessary, but the plate thickness may be uniform throughout the longitudinal direction, and anyway the structure is not particularly specified as far as the leading end of the pressing portion of the head main body 30 has a thickness (a point) enough to position and indicate the transfer position accurately.

At the base end side portion of the head main body 30 , further, a borne portion 35 is integrally formed as a main body support.

The head holding portion 31 supports the head main body 30 rotatably bout its axial center, and specifically comprises a borne portion 35 as the main body support, and a bearing 36 provided in the cartridge case 10 .

The borne portion 35 is, as shown in FIGS. 6A-6C , a cylindrical portion provided concentrically and integrally with the head main body 30 , and more specifically it is formed in an arc section having a setting opening 35 a of mark transfer tape T to the head main body 30 in a part thereof.

The bearing 36 is disposed integrally at the leading end of the cartridge case 10 . As shown in FIGS. 6A-6C , the bearing 36 is tubular having an inner circumference corresponding to the outer circumference of the borne portion 35 , and same as the borne portion 35 , it is formed in an arc section having a setting opening 36 a of mark transfer tape T to the head main body 30 in a part thereof. The born portion 35 is slidably supported on the bearing 36 , and the head main body 30 is freely rotatable about the axial center in a specified rotating angle range described below.

The rotary operation portion 32 is to determine the rotating direction position of the head main body 30 , and also serves as head position indicator to show the tape pressing and transferring position of the head main body 30 .

The rotary operation portion 32 is a circular bar, and has an operation lever 45 including an operation knob 45 a disposed at its leading end as a principal unit. The operation lever 45 is extended linearly outward in the radial direction from the axial center of the born portion 35 , and projects to the outside of the case 2 , through a slit inserting portion 46 and an operation guide portion 47 disposed at corresponding positions in the bearing 36 and case 2 . In this case, the inserting portion 46 of the bearing 36 functions as a locking portion of the head main body 30 to prevent it from slipping out in the axial direction.

The location of the operation lever 45 in the rotating direction with respect to the head main body 30 is set in relation to the tape pressing and transferring position of the head main body 30 , and the slit inserting portion 46 and operation guide portion 47 are extended in the peripheral direction so as to allow moving of the operation lever 45 in the rotating direction of the head main body 30 . In particular, the operation guide portion 47 of the case 2 defines the operating range in the rotating direction of the operation lever 45 , and is configured to control the tape pressing and transferring position of the head main body 30 .

The relation of the operation lever 45 and the tape pressing and transferring position of the head main body 30 is explained with respect to the operation guide portion 47 . In the shown embodiment, the configuration of the operation guide portion 47 as the operation range defining portion in the rotating direction is set follows, referring to FIGS. 6A-6C .

(a) When the operation lever 45 is in contact with one end 47 a of the operation guide portion 47 , that is, in the vertical downward position (first defined position A shown in FIG. 6 A), the head main body 30 of the transfer head H is located at an angular position for guiding its leading end pressing portion 25 so that the mark transfer tape T may be nearly opposite to the gripping surfaces 2 a , 2 b of the case 2 , that is, the face and back sides of the mark transfer tape T may be directed nearly in the same direction as (parallel to) the gripping surfaces 2 a , 2 b.

In this case, the new mark transfer tape T rolled out from the pay-out reel 11 is at the lower side of the head main body 30 , and is in a state suited to use by lateral pull by a right-handed user (see FIG. 7 A).

(b) When the operation lever 45 is at an intermediate position between both ends 47 a , 47 b of the operation guide portion 47 , that is, in the horizontal downward position (second defined position B shown in FIG. 6 B), the head main body 30 of the transfer head H is located at an angular position for guiding its leading end pressing portion 25 so that the mark transfer tape T may remain in wound state on the pay-out reel 11 and take-up reel 12 , that is, the face and back sides of the mark transfer tape T may be directed nearly in a nearly vertical direction (orthogonal) to the gripping surfaces 2 a , 2 b.

In this case, the new mark transfer tape T rolled out from the pay-out reel 11 is at the left side of the head main body 30 , and is in a state suited to use by vertical pull (see FIG. 7 B).

(c) When the operation lever 45 is in contact with other end 47 b of the operation guide portion 47 , that is, in the vertical upward position (third defined position C shown in FIG. 6 C), the head main body 30 of the transfer head H is located at an angular position for guiding its leading end pressing portion 25 so that the mark transfer tape T may be nearly opposite to the gripping surfaces 2 a , 2 b of the case 2 , in the upside down state of the case (a) above.

In this case, the new mark transfer tape T rolled out from the pay-out reel 11 is at the upper side of the head main body 30 , and is in a state suited to use by lateral pull by a left-handed user (see FIG. 7 C).

As clear from the description above, the direction of the operation lever 45 directly and visually shows the opposite direction of the new mark transfer tape T (function as head position indicator), and the user can confirm the tape pressing and transferring position of the head main body 30 by referring to the direction of the operation lever 45 .

The rotating direction operating range of the operation guide portion 47 (nearly 180° at maximum in shown example) can be set in various desired values from a small angle range to a large angle range in consideration of relation between the operation lever 45 and the tape pressing and transferring position of the head main body 30 .

Using the mark transfer tool 1 having such configuration, to transfer the transfer mark on the mark transfer tape onto a desired correction area 50 on a sheet of paper or the like, whether the user is right-handed or left-handed as mentioned above, the operation lever 45 can be rotated according to the purpose, and an optimum tape pressing and transferring position of the head main body 30 of the transfer head H (typically, first defined position A shown in FIG. 6A , second defined position B shown in FIG. 6B , or third defined position C shown in FIG. 6C ) can be selected and set, and corresponding to this position, the case 2 can be gripped by fingers on the gripping surfaces (standard gripping surfaces are face and back sides 2 a , 2 b of the case 2 , but proper positions or sides of the case 2 may be gripped depending on the purpose), so that various methods of use, for example, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7 C may be possible.

That is, in any method of use, the gripping surfaces of the case 2 are held like holding a writing tool, and the leading end pressing portion 25 of the transfer head H is pressed tightly to the transfer start end of the correction area 50 on a sheet of paper or the like, and the case 2 is moved along the sheet of paper by a specified distance and stopped.

More specifically, with the bodily sensing part 20 provided in the mark transfer tape T being engaged with the bodily sensing engaging part 21 of the transfer head H, that is, the leading end pressing portion 25 , in other words, in the complete state of the previous mark transfer action, the transfer head H is tightly pressed to the transfer start end on the correction area 50 , and the case 2 is directly moved along the sheet of paper, and is stopped when the next bodily sensing sliding part 20 is engaged with the bodily sensing engaging part 21 to cause a sliding phenomenon in the engaging position.

That is, as mentioned above, when the bodily sensing sliding part 20 of the mark transfer tape T is engaged with the leading end pressing portion 25 of the transfer head H, sliding occurs between the bodily sensing sliding part 20 and the correction area 50 , and running of the mark transfer tape T is stopped, and the mark transfer action is disabled, so that the user knows the transfer complete position of one transfer mark M by bodily sensation.

By this operation, the transfer mark M of the mark transfer tape T in the leading end pressing portion 25 of the transfer head is peeled from the base tape 15 , and transferred onto the correction area 50 , and the used mark transfer tape T after the transfer mark M is peeled off, that is, the base tape 15 is taken up and collected on the take-up reel 12 . In this case, the portion of the transfer mark layer 16 having the bodily sensing sliding part 20 is not adhered to the correction area 50 , but is left over on the base tape 15 .

To start transfer action of next transfer mark M from this state, while pressing the leading end pressing part 25 of the transfer head H somewhat firmly on the correction area 50 preliminarily, by moving on the correction area, running of the mark transfer tape T is started again, so that the mark transfer action is enabled.

Since the mark transfer tool 1 of the embodiment has a cartridge structure for exchanging the mark transfer tape T, various transfer marks M, M, . . . depending on the purpose of use can be transferred and used by preparing a plurality of tape cartridges C having mark transfer tapes T of plural types of transfer marks M, M . . . .

Embodiment 2

This embodiment is shown in FIGS. 8A-8C , in which the structure of the mark transfer tape Tin embodiment 1 is modified.

That is, in the mark transfer tape T of embodiment 1, as mentioned above, the transfer mark layer 16 is formed continuously over the entire length of the base tape 15 , whereas in the mark transfer tape T of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 , transfer marks M, M, . . . composing the transfer mark layer 16 are peelably adhered and held on the surface of the base tape 15 independently and at specific intervals.

The bodily sensing sliding part 20 is composed of the surface of the base tape 15 between the mutually adjacent marks M, M in the mark transfer layer 16 .

In this configuration, by the same transfer operation as explained in embodiment 1, with the bodily sensing sliding part 20 being engaged with the bodily sensing engaging part 21 of the transfer head H, the leading end pressing portion 25 of the transfer head H is tightly pressed at the transfer start end of the correction area 50 on the sheet of paper, and the case 2 is directly moved along the sheet of paper, and is stopped when a sliding phenomenon occurs in the engaging position as the next bodily sensing sliding part 20 is engaged with the bodily sensing engaging part 21 .

By this operation, only one transfer mark M of the mark transfer tape T is peeled from the base tape 15 , and is transferred on the correction area 50 .

To start transfer action of next transfer mark M from this state, while pressing the leading end pressing part 25 of the transfer head H somewhat firmly on the correction area 50 preliminarily, by moving on the correction area, running of the mark transfer tape T is started again, so that the mark transfer action is enabled.

The other configuration and operation are same as in embodiment 1.

Embodiment 3

This embodiment is shown in FIGS. 9A-9C , in which the structure of the mark transfer tape T in embodiment 2 is modified.

That is, in the mark transfer tape T of the embodiment, transfer marks M, M, . . . composing the transfer mark layer 16 are peelably adhered and held on the surface of the base tape 15 independently and at specific intervals, and these transfer marks M, M are mutually coupled by means of a thin coupling layer 16 a . The specific layer structure of this coupling layer 16 a is same as that of the transfer mark layer 16 , and is transparent. In the illustrated embodiment, the transfer marks M, M are mutually coupled by means of two thin coupling layers 16 a , 16 a at both side edges in the width direction.

The bodily sensing sliding part 20 is, same as in embodiment 2, composed of the surface of the base tape 15 between the mutually adjacent marks M, M in the mark transfer layer 16 .

In this configuration, the transfer operation is same as in embodiment 2, but the transfer start action is easier when transferring a next transfer mark M after transferring one transfer mark M.

That is, since the mutually adjacent transfer marks M, M are coupled by means of two coupling layers 16 a , 16 b , when the bodily sensing sliding part 20 being engaged with the leading end pressing portion 25 of the transfer head H, sliding occurs between the bodily sensing sliding part 20 and correction area 50 , part of the two coupling layers 16 a , 16 a is left over on the base tape 15 of the mark transfer tape T.

When starting transfer action of next transfer mark M, the remaining portion of the coupling layers 16 a , 16 b promotes restarting of running without causing sliding on the mark transfer tape T, so that the mark transfer action may be smoothly and securely started again.

The other configuration and operation are same as in embodiment 2.

Embodiment 4
