Dispenser with transfer head
A dispenser with a transfer head includes a feeding roller placed within a case provided with an opening, and supporting a transfer tape T so as to be capable of being fed; a take-up roller for taking up a base material tape that has been used to transfer; a transfer roller for transferring a transfer agent; an interlocking mechanism for rotating the feeding roller and the take-up roller in an interlocking manner; a holding member provided on the opening side in a front/back direction so as to be capable of moving forward and backward; and a rotational frame for supporting the feeding roller, the take-up roller and the transfer roller, wherein when a pressing force is applied to the case while the holding member abuts against a surface to be transferred P, the transfer head is relatively projected, and moved on the surface P with pressing thereto so that the transfer agent can be transferred.
1. A dispenser with a transfer head, comprising:
a case provided with an opening in a fore part of the case through which a transfer head faces the outside, the transfer head being comprised of a transfer roller,
a feeding roller placed within the case and supporting a transfer tape so as to be capable of being fed, the transfer tape being provided with a transfer agent on a band-like base material tape,
a take-up roller for taking up the base material tape, and
an interlocking mechanism for rotating the feeding roller and the take-up roller in an interlocking manner, the transfer agent being provided so as to be capable of being transferred via the transfer roller;
a main frame provided within the case movably in the front/back direction of the case, and
a rotational frame combined rotatably relative to the main frame, and the feeding roller, the transfer roller, and the take-up roller are provided rotatably in a direction permitting the movement of the transfer roller via the rotational frame,
wherein the dispenser is provided with a holding member provided on the opening side of the case so as to be capable of moving forward and backward in a front/back direction, and normally maintaining a front end thereof at a position projecting from the transfer head,
wherein when a pressing force is applied to the case in a state of where a front end of the holding member abuts against a surface to be transferred, the transfer roller is relatively projected, and moved or traveled along the surface with pressing thereto so that the transfer agent can be transferred to the surface,
wherein the main frame is configured to move backward within the case, and wherein the dispenser is configured such that movement backwards of the main frame allows a rotation center of the rotational frame to be displaced backward, and
the main frame comprises a first spring and a second spring having a stronger spring force than the first spring on a front and a back end sides, respectively, the first spring applying a force to the holding member in the direction projecting from the opening, and the second spring applying a force forward to the main frame, wherein the main frame moves backward while overcoming the force of the second spring by a force reactive to the pressing force after the transfer head abuts against the surface, so that the rotation center of the rotational frame is displaced backward to cause the transfer head to be moved along and parallel to the surface.
2. A dispenser with a transfer head, comprising:
a case provided with an opening in a fore part of the case through which a transfer head faces the outside,
a feeding roller placed within the case and supporting a transfer tape so as to be capable of being fed, the transfer tape being provided with a transfer agent on a band-like base material tape,
a take-up roller for taking up the base material tape, and
an interlocking mechanism for rotating the feeding roller and the take-up roller in an interlocking manner, the transfer agent being provided so as to be capable of being transferred via the transfer head;
wherein the dispenser is provided with a holding member provided on the opening side of the case so as to be capable of moving forward and backward in a front/back direction, and normally maintaining a front end thereof at a position projecting from the transfer head, and
wherein when a pressing force is applied to the case in a state of where a front end of the holding member abuts against a surface to be transferred, the transfer head is relatively projected, and moved or traveled along the surface with pressing thereto so that the transfer agent can be transferred to the surface,
wherein the dispenser further comprises:
a slide member movable in the front/back direction within the case near the opening, the holding member being supported by the slide member, and
wherein the slide member comprises a closed loop-shaped recess, and a rotary plate is provided with a convex portion, the convex portion being normally located in place within the recess as an initial position, and guided so as to move within the recess to return to the initial position when the rotary plate is rotated.
