TRANSFER TOOL AND REFILL FOR TRANSFER TOOL
A transfer tool 1 according to the present invention is configured so that a refill 3 has a feeding reel 32 on which a transfer tape T is wound and a rotation-inhibiting mechanism X to inhibit rotation of the feeding reel 32 when the feeding reel 32 is not held in a transfer tool main body 2 , the rotation-inhibiting mechanism X being able to permit rotation of the feeding reel 32 with loading the transfer tool main body 2 with the feeding reel 32 when the feeding reel 32 is attached to the transfer tool main body 2.
1 . A transfer tool comprising:
a transfer tool main body capable of accommodating a transfer tape that is able to transfer a transfer substance onto a transfer target by pressing the transfer tape against the transfer target in a state of wrapping the transfer tape around a transfer head; and
a refill capable of being installed on the transfer tool main body, the refill having a reel to wind the transfer tape and a rotation-inhibiting mechanism to inhibit rotation of the reel when the reel is not held in the transfer tool main body, the rotation-inhibiting mechanism being able to permit rotation of the reel with loading the transfer tool main body with the reel when the reel is attached to the transfer tool main body.
2 . The transfer tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the reel includes a feeding reel to feed the transfer tape wound around it and a winding reel to wind up the transfer tape fed from the feeding reel and wrapped around the transfer head,
the rotation-inhibiting mechanism is able to inhibit rotation of the feeding reel.
3 . The transfer tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the rotation-inhibiting mechanism is provided between the reel and a refill base holding the reel.
4 . The transfer tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the rotation-inhibiting mechanism has a plurality of openings provided on the reel, a rotation-inhibiting end to be inserted into the opening and able to inhibit rotation of the reel, and an elastic deformation part to be elastically deformed with a load transmitted from the reel so as to move the rotation-inhibiting end out of the opening.
5 . The transfer tool according to claim 4 , wherein
the opening is opened in the axial direction of the reel, and besides the rotation-inhibiting end is able to approach to and be moved away along the axial direction.
6 . The transfer tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the rotation-inhibiting mechanism has a contacting end that is able to contact the transfer tool main body before the reel is attached to the transfer tool main body.
7 . A refill to be used while at least a part of the refill is put in a transfer tool main body capable of accommodating a transfer tape that is able to transfer a transfer substance onto a transfer target by pressing the transfer tape against the transfer target in a state of wrapping the transfer tape around a transfer head, comprising:
a reel to wind the transfer tape; and
a rotation-inhibiting mechanism to inhibit rotation of the reel when the reel is not held in the transfer tool main body, the rotation-inhibiting mechanism being able to permit rotation of the reel with loading the transfer tool main body with the reel when the reel is attached to the transfer tool main body.
