Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to dispensers (english).
Background
Conventionally, a transfer tool configured to be able to cover the print head with a cap in order to suppress adhesion of debris to the print head and the like has been known (for example, see patent document 1).
However, the conventional cover is configured to rotate in the longitudinal direction with respect to the transfer tool main body. Therefore, in the conventional art, when an external force acts on the cover in the storage device such as the pen box, the cover is opened at will, and the transfer head is exposed.
In addition, in the conventional transfer tool, when the transfer head is exposed, the cover is rotated in the longitudinal direction with respect to the transfer tool main body and is retracted to the upper side of the transfer head. Therefore, in the conventional technique, the cap retracted to the upper side of the transfer tool main body deteriorates visibility of the transfer head when viewed from the user.
The above is not limited to a transfer tool capable of transferring a transfer material, and the same applies to all dispensers capable of discharging contents to the outside through a head.

For example, when the user operates the transfer tool with the right hand, it is preferable to use the head cap B by rotating it leftward with respect to the transfer tool main body (so that the distal end portion 3t of the head cap B is positioned outside the left side wall h1 of the transfer tool main body a), because the transfer head W can be easily visually recognized. When the user operates the transfer tool with the left hand, it is preferable to use the head cap B by rotating it rightward with respect to the transfer tool main body (so that the distal end portion 3t of the head cap B is positioned outside the right sidewall h2 of the transfer tool main body a), because the transfer head W can be easily visually recognized.
The head cover B is supported so as to be capable of approaching and separating from the transfer tool main body a, and is urged in a direction of always approaching the transfer tool main body a by a coil-like spring G as an elastic body interposed between the head cover B and the transfer tool main body a. In other words, the head cap B is configured to be movable in a direction away from the transfer tool main body a against the biasing force of the spring G at a predetermined position guided by the guide mechanism C.
The head cover B is rotatably engaged with a head cover support 1 provided at an upper portion of the transfer tool main body a, i.e., at a front portion of the upper wall h3 of the main body casing D.
The hood B can take: a covering posture (Y) in which the tip end portion 3t is positioned in front of the transfer tool main body a in a plan view and the transfer head W is covered at the tip end portion 3 t; and a use posture (U) which is a posture that the transfer head (W) is exposed to a usable state by moving so as to be shifted in phase at least in the lateral direction with respect to the transfer tool body (A) in a plan view. That is, the head cap B of this embodiment is configured to be rotatable laterally with respect to the transfer tool main body a so that the print head W can be opened and closed.
The head cover B is configured to be capable of performing a proximity/separation operation with respect to the transfer tool main body a between a proximity position (Q) at which the tip end portion 3t is in proximity to the transfer head W and a separation position (R) at which the tip end portion 3t is located farther from the transfer head W than the proximity position (Q) in a process of changing the position of the head cover B between the covering position (Y) and the use position (U).
That is, the head cover B is not only rotatable with respect to a shaft member J provided in the transfer tool main body a, but also supported so as to be able to advance and retreat between the approaching position (Q) and the separating position (R) with respect to the shaft member J without colliding with the transfer head W during posture change between the covering posture (Y) and the use posture (U).
The head cover B is guided by a guide mechanism C described later in detail, and is advanced and retreated and rotated with respect to the transfer tool main body a, and can be changed in posture between a covering posture (Y) for covering the transfer head W and a use posture (U) for retracting from the transfer head W.
The head cover B is provided with: a main body engaging portion 2, the main body engaging portion 2 engaging with a head cap support portion 1 provided on the transfer tool main body a; and a head cover main body 3 that is supported by the body engagement portion 2 in a cantilever manner and has a tip end portion 3t having a shape that can cover the front side, the left and right sides, and the upper and lower sides of the transfer head W in the cover posture (Y). The main body engaging portion 2 and the hood main body 3 constituting the hood B are integrally formed of synthetic resin.

The body engagement portion 2 has a raised portion 2r formed at a central portion in the left-right direction and raised upward from both the left and right side portions, and formed to have a long side in the front-rear direction. The spring housing recess 23, the shaft insertion hole 24, the shaft passage 25, and the second spring holding projection 26 are provided at locations associated with the raised portion 2r, respectively.
The protrusion 22 engages with a first guide groove 11 as a protrusion contact portion provided in the hood support portion 1, and constitutes a guide mechanism C for guiding the operation of the hood B.
< main body of hood 3>
In the cover posture (Y), the head cover body 3 can position the transfer head W in a transfer head arrangement space sp formed in the distal end portion 3t.
The head cover main body 3 includes a tip end portion 3t that can cover the front side, the right and left sides, and the upper and lower sides of the transfer head W in the cover posture (Y), and a lower extension portion 3s that extends rearward from the lower end portion of the tip end portion 3t.
The distal end portion 3t has a transfer head arrangement space sp formed therein. The distal end portion 3t includes: left and right side walls 31, the left and right side walls 31 being disposed on both left and right sides of the transfer head W in the covering posture (Y); a front wall 32 provided between the front end portions of the left and right side walls 31 and arranged on the front side of the transfer head W in the covering posture (Y); a lower wall 33 provided between lower end portions of the left and right side walls 31, the lower wall 33 being disposed below the transfer head W in the covering posture (Y); and an upper wall 34, the upper wall 34 being provided between upper end portions of the left and right side walls 31 and being disposed above the transfer head W in the covering posture (Y).
The transfer head arrangement space sp is surrounded by left and right side walls 31, a front wall 32, a lower wall 33, and an upper wall 34 that constitute the tip portion 3t. The distal end portion 3t is open rearward to form a transfer head arrangement space sp.
The lower extension 3s includes a lower wall extension 35 extending obliquely downward and rearward from a rear end portion of the lower wall 33 and a side wall extension 36 extending obliquely downward and rearward from lower portions of the left and right side walls 31. The lower wall extension portion 35 and the side wall extension portion 36 are integrally provided continuously.
The opening ends formed in the distal end portion 3t and the lower extension 3s, that is, the rear ends of the left and right side walls 31, the rear ends of the lower wall extension 35, and the upper ends and the rear ends of the left and right side wall extensions 36 can abut against the opening end edge ke of the opening k in the main body case D in the covering posture (Y).
Further, a rail-shaped reinforcing rib 3r extending in the front-rear direction between the main body engagement portion 2 and the head cover main body 3 supported by the main body engagement portion 2 is disposed on the head cover B.
The reinforcing ribs 3r are formed to protrude toward the inner surface side of the head cover B, i.e., the transfer head arrangement space sp side. The rib 3r engages with the second guide groove 12 provided in the head cap support unit 1, and functions to regulate the movement of the head cap B in the front-rear direction with respect to the transfer tool main body a.
< guide mechanism C >
The transfer tool is provided with a guide mechanism C for guiding the operation of the head cover B with respect to the transfer tool main body a between a covering posture (Y) for covering the transfer head W and a use posture (U) for retracting from the transfer head W. The guide mechanism C includes a protrusion 22 and a rib 3r provided on the head cover B, a first guide groove 11 as a protrusion contact portion provided on the transfer tool body a and against which the protrusion 22 can come into contact, and a second guide groove 12 against which the rib 3r can come into contact.
The guide mechanism C biases the head cover B in a direction approaching the transfer tool main body a by a spring G interposed between a shaft member J constituting the transfer tool main body a and the head cover B.
< description of operation of hood B >)
In the transfer tool of the present embodiment, an example of an operation (a case where the head cap B is rotated in the left direction with respect to the transfer tool main body a) when the head cap B in the covering posture (Y) is changed to the using posture (U) will be described below.
First, as shown in fig. 1, 4 to 8, 20, and the like, the head cover B covers the periphery of the transfer head W substantially without a gap by cooperation with the main body case D in the covering posture (Y). At this time, the hood B assumes the covering posture (Y). The head cover B is biased by a spring G interposed between the head cover and the shaft member J to be located at a close position (Q) close to the transfer tool main body a.
Next, as shown in fig. 13, 14 and 21, the hood B is moved forward against the biasing force of the spring G by the operation of the user's finger (for example, the operation of pressing the raised portion 2r of the hood B forward). The head cover engaging shaft portion J4 of the shaft member J supported by the transfer tool main body a moves relatively from inside the shaft insertion hole 24 to inside the shaft passage 25 as the head cover B moves forward. At this time, the protrusion 22 of the head cover B is guided by the front-rear guide groove 111 and moves forward from the rear. At the same time, the reinforcing ribs 3r of the head cover B are guided by the second guide grooves 12 to move from the rear to the front. As a result, the hood B moves from the approaching position (Q) to the separating position (R). By changing the position of the head cover B to the separation position (R), the transfer head W is relatively moved to a position where it is not covered by the left and right side walls 31 constituting the distal end portion 3t of the head cover B from the side, and a state where it can be visually confirmed in a side view is obtained. The limit position at which the hood B can advance is defined by the tip ends of the first and second spring holding projections j6 and 26 abutting against each other.
Next, as shown in fig. 15 and 22, the hood B moved to the separated position (R) against the biasing force of the spring G is rotated in the left direction (direction in which the tip portion 3t is moved to the outer surface side of the left side wall h 1) about the shaft member J by the operation of the user's finger. The shaft member J coupled to the head cover B via the spring G rotates with respect to the head cover support 1 in accordance with the rotation of the head cover B. At this time, the protrusion 22 of the head cover B moves in the left direction from the center in the left middle guide groove portion 112. Since the head cover B rotates while being positioned at the separation position (R), the left and right side walls 31 provided at the tip end portion 3t can rotate in the left direction without colliding with the transfer head W.
Then, as shown in fig. 16, 17 and 23, the hood B is further rotated in the left direction by the operation of the user's fingers. At this time, the protrusion 22 of the head cover B is guided by the left rear end guide groove portion 114, and finally reaches the rear end portion n. The protruding portion 22 of the hood B gradually approaches the left-right direction center portion side of the hood support portion 1 while moving rearward in the left rear end guide groove portion 114, and passes through the bent portion m immediately before reaching the rear end portion n. Through the above operation, the hood B guided by the guide mechanism C is changed from the separated position (R) to the close position (Q) and from the covering posture (Y) to the using posture (U).
Since the protruding portion 22 of the head cover B is positioned at the rear end n of the first guide groove 11 by the bent portion m, the movement of the protruding portion 22 in the opposite direction is appropriately restricted by the bent portion m. Therefore, the hood B is properly held in the use posture (U) in addition to the urging force of the spring G.
The operation when the position of the hood B in the use posture (U) is changed to the covering posture (Y) is performed in the reverse order of the above-described order.
As shown in fig. 18, the operation of changing the position of the hood B to the use position (U) by rotating the hood B in the right direction (the direction in which the distal end portion 3t moves toward the outer surface side of the right wall h 2) can also be performed in accordance with the above-described procedure.
As described above, the transfer tool as the dispenser of the present embodiment includes the head cover B having a three-dimensional shape that protects the transfer head W as the head. The head cover B can take a use posture (U) in which the head cover B is moved to be displaced in phase at least in the lateral direction with respect to the transfer tool body a as the dispenser body in a plan view, thereby exposing the transfer head W.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a transfer tool having an excellent degree of freedom in design that can protect at least the transfer head W and that allows the user to appropriately visually confirm the configuration of the transfer head W in the use posture (U) in which the transfer head W is exposed.
That is, the head cover B can take a use posture (U) in which the head cover B is moved so as to be shifted in phase in the lateral direction in a plan view, and the transfer head W is exposed. Therefore, if the transfer tool according to this embodiment is used, it is possible to appropriately design the head cover B so as to be positioned beside the transfer head W in the use posture (U). In the transfer tool according to this embodiment, the user viewing the transfer head W from above can visually confirm the transfer head W without being obstructed by the head cover B.
The head cover B is provided to be rotatable with respect to the transfer tool main body a. Therefore, the visibility of the print head W can be improved with a relatively simple configuration.
The head cover B is supported so as to be capable of approaching and separating from the transfer tool main body a and biased in a direction of approaching the transfer tool main body a. Therefore, the head cover B is not only difficult to move in the direction in which the transfer head W is exposed, but also can be easily operated in the direction in which the transfer tool body a is separated by the user's finger.
The head cover B is rotatably engaged with an upper portion of the transfer tool body a. Therefore, a structure capable of rotatably supporting the head cover B can be easily provided while avoiding erroneous adhesion to the transfer belt P, and an increase in size of the transfer tool main body a can be appropriately suppressed.
The head cover B is configured to be rotatable leftward and rightward with respect to the transfer tool main body a. Therefore, whether the hood B is rotated leftward or rightward can be arbitrarily set according to the dominant hand of the user operating the transfer tool or the like.
A guide mechanism C is provided for guiding the movement of the head cover B with respect to the transfer tool body A. Therefore, the operation in which the head cover B does not interfere with the transfer head W can be appropriately realized by the guidance of the guide mechanism C.
The guide mechanism C includes a protrusion 22 provided on the head cover B, and a first guide groove 11 provided on the transfer tool body a and serving as a protrusion contact portion with which the protrusion 22 can contact. Therefore, the guide mechanism C can be suitably realized by the configuration in which the protruding portion 22 and the first guide groove 11 are provided.
The transfer tool body a includes a replacement E having a transfer head W disposed at a distal end portion thereof, and a body case D capable of accommodating therein portions of the replacement E other than the transfer head W. Therefore, by using the replaceable replacement E, a transfer tool suitable for continued use can be provided.
Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in detail above.
The dispenser is not limited to the transfer tool as long as the contents can be discharged through the head.
The contents that can be discharged from the dispenser may be a liquid such as ink or a correction agent, a gel-like content such as an adhesive, or a solid content such as powder or tape.
The head is not limited to the transfer head. The head may be a brush-like member capable of being coated with a liquid such as ink or a correction agent, or a rod-like or columnar member capable of being impregnated with a liquid.
The transfer head is not limited to the one shown in the present embodiment as long as it functions to press the transfer belt against the transfer target surface. Examples of the transfer head include a plate-like member that presses a transfer target surface against a transfer belt by a plate surface.
The transfer tool may have any configuration as long as it can transfer the transferred material to the transfer target. In other words, the transfer material is not limited to the paste described in the present embodiment, and may be, for example, a correction agent (correction tape) for correction or a decorative agent (decorative tape) for decoration.
The transfer head is not necessarily limited to a transfer head that presses the transfer belt against the transfer target surface, and for example, ink or paste may be applied by directly attaching a transfer roller to the transfer target surface.
The transfer head constituting the transfer tool main body is not limited to the configuration described in the present embodiment. In other words, in the above embodiment, the transfer head is provided in the refill as the replacement member holding the transfer material, and the transfer tool main body is configured by the refill and the main body casing. For example, the transfer head may be fixed to the main body case side in advance, not to the refill side in advance.
The transfer tool is not limited to the replaceable type transfer tool as described in the above embodiment, and may be a disposable type transfer tool which cannot be used any more after the transfer belt is used up.
The guide mechanism is not limited to the mechanism utilizing the cam action as described in the above embodiment, and various mechanisms can be considered. As another guide mechanism, for example, a link having one end rotatably supported by the dispenser main body and the other end rotatably supported by the head cover may be used.
The guide mechanism may be configured such that a protrusion is formed on the dispenser body, and a protrusion contact portion that engages with the protrusion is provided on the head cover.
The elastic body disposed between the head cap and the transfer tool main body can be an elastic body having various configurations.
The spring may not be provided between the head cap and the transfer tool body.
The hood may also cover only a portion of the head. That is, the head cap may be configured to not completely cover the head portion in cooperation with a portion configuring the main body of the transfer tool.
As shown in fig. 24 to 26, a convex portion 2t that protrudes to protrude rearward may be provided at the rear end portion of the protruding portion 2r provided in the hood B. The rear end of the hood B is formed with a projection 2t whose width is set shorter than the ridge 2r, so that the user's fingers can be easily caught. With such a configuration, the operability for a user who rotates the head cover B with respect to the transfer tool body A is excellent.
As shown in fig. 25 and 26, a sliding contact protrusion 1t that can slide on the downward sliding contact surface portion 21 of the headcap B may be provided on the upward sliding contact surface portion 1s of the headcap supporter 1 in the transfer tool main body a. The sliding contact protrusion 1t protrudes upward from the upward sliding contact surface portion 1s, and is provided at the front and rear of the upward sliding contact surface portion 1 s. The respective sliding contact protrusions 1t provided on the front and rear portions of the shaft holding hole 16 of the hood support portion 1 extend along the rotation direction of the hood B rotating around the shaft member J. Since the sliding contact protrusion 1t is provided in the hood support 1, the area in sliding contact with the hood B can be reduced, and smooth operation of the hood B can be improved.
In the above embodiment, the headgear support section 1 is provided exclusively on the main case section H side of the main case D, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.
For example, as shown in fig. 24 to 26, a part of the hood support portion 1 may be provided on the hood I side.
The specific configuration of each part is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
