Description

【０００１】
【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、転写テープ上の塗膜を紙面等に転写するための塗膜転写具に関するものであり、詳しくは、塗膜転写具のハウジングの保持機構に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
塗膜転写具は、転写テープを紙面等に転写するためのものとして種々提案されている。塗膜転写具は一般的に、ハウジング内に内部部品として、転写テープ、繰出部、転写部、巻取部、駆動部を含んで構成される。転写テープは、薄葉紙やプラスチックフィルムの基材上に被覆層や粘着層を積層したものであり、いわゆる修正テープやマーキングテープ、粘着テープなどがある。転写テープはハウジング内で、繰出部から転写部を経由し、巻取部へとつながる経路をたどる。繰出部は転写される前の転写テープを保持し、一般的には転写テープを巻回し保持する。巻取部は、被覆層や粘着層を転写した後の基材を保持し、一般的には基材を巻回し保持する。駆動部は、転写テープの繰出し、巻取りのために機能し、回転駆動して転写テープを繰出部から巻取部へ送出する。転写部は、転写テープの転写層を紙面等の被転写面へ転写するためにハウジングから突出するよう設けられている。
【０００３】
転写部では転写前の転写テープの転写層が露出しているため、保管時等の使用時以外にはその露出部分に埃やゴミが付着するおそれがある。転写層にゴミなどが付着すると、場合によってはその部分に転写不良が発生し塗膜の転写が困難となる。また、転写層が露出していると、転写層が被転写面以外に不用意に付着するということもある。さらに、転写部の先端が鋭角であるため周囲を損傷するということもあり得る。これらを防止するために転写部、または転写層の露出部分には、これらの部分を覆い、保護するカバーが設けられているものもある。
【０００４】
転写部の保護カバーとしては、ハウジングとは別体のキャップ部品として構成し、取り外しが可能なものや、キャップ部品がハウジングに蝶番式に固設されるもの、円筒状の保護カバーがハウジングに摺動自在に設けられているものなどがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。さらに、転写部のカバー手段として、転写ヘッドを覆うキャップに後方へ突出したアームを一体に設けるとともに、そのアームの後端部に回転軸部を設け、又、ケース本体の前端近傍の側面に前後方向に長い軸受溝を設けて、上記のアームの後端部に設けた回転軸部をその軸受溝に前後方向へスライド自在に且つ回転自在に嵌合させたことを特徴とするものがある（例えば、特許文献２参照）。
【０００５】
塗膜転写具は転写テープ等内部部品が交換可能なものと、内蔵の転写テープを使い切り再使用しないものとがある。交換可能なものは、ハウジング内の転写テープのみを交換するもの、転写テープと駆動部の一部または全部を交換するもの等、交換する内部部品の組合せにより種々のものがある。交換方法は、内部部品それぞれを個別に交換する方法、内部部品がホルダー板などに着脱可能に保持され、内部部品の装着後ホルダー板を取り除く方法、内部部品が固定されたカートリッジを交換する方法等がある。内部部品が交換可能な塗膜転写具はいずれも、交換時に塗膜転写具のハウジングから内部部品あるいはカートリッジが分離可能な状態にならなくてはならず、ハウジングを複数に分離できること、あるいはカートリッジの出し入れの可能な開口部を有する必要がある。ハウジングを開閉可能とするために、ハウジングには解除可能な保持手段が設けられることが一般的である。保持手段は、ハウジングの保持位置と保持解除位置とを移動し、保持解除位置ではハウジングを保持せず、ハウジングが分離できるという仕組が一般的である。
【０００６】
ハウジングの保持手段の中には、塗膜転写具の部品点数を減少させ、資源の節約、またコストダウンを実現するために、ハウジング保持の機構を他の部材に付加し、該部材にハウジングの保持手段を兼ねさせたものもある。塗膜転写具ハウジング表面に保持機構が設けられる塗膜転写具は、ハウジングが二部材からなり、カートリッジにより内部部品が交換可能なものが一般的である。例えばカートリッジの表面に、ハウジングの表面に突出するスライド可能な保持部材を設け、ハウジングの表面には、保持部材が突出しかつスライド可能な開口部を設ける。保持部材は、ハウジング表面に突出する部分がその突出部分を支える軸部分より大きく、ダンベル状の形状とし、また開口部は、保持部材の表面に突出する部分が貫通する大孔と、突出する部分は通ることができない、軸部分の幅程度の大きさの小孔とがつながった形とする。このような構成を備えた塗膜転写具の、一方のハウジング、カートリッジ、他方のハウジングを重ね合わせ、ハウジングから突出した保持部材をハウジング開口部の大孔に通し、保持部材を小孔側へスライドさせると、ハウジングとカートリッジが結合され、ハウジングは保持状態となる。保持部材が大孔側に位置すると、保持は解除され、一方のハウジングを分離することができる。このような保持手段を転写部の部材に適用し、前記保持部材を転写部材と一体化して構成されたものもある（例えば、特許文献３、４参照）。
【０００７】
あるいは、転写部カバーと保持手段を一体化したものがある（特許文献５参照）。これは、転写部を経由し露出する転写テープを保護するロックカバーを前後可動式に具備してなる転写器に於いて、ロックカバーの長手方向一側縁に縁方向に亘る長尺爪を設けると共に、その他側縁にはその縁方向所要の位置で前記長尺爪よりも短い短尺爪を設ける一方、ケース本体とケース蓋とのいずれか一方側に、前記ロックカバーの長尺爪をスライド可能に係合させる長尺爪溝を設けると共に、他方側には短尺爪をスライド可能に係合させる短尺爪溝を設けて、この長尺・短尺爪溝に対する長尺爪と短尺爪との挿入係合によりケース本体とケース蓋を掴持連結してなり、更に短尺爪溝の溝方向における所要の位置に短尺爪の長さに相当する開口幅にて切欠開口せしめた爪離脱用凹欠部を設けてなるものである。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の保持手段と保護カバーとを一体化したものは、保護カバーは、保護カバーに設けられた長尺爪がハウジングに設けられた長尺爪溝にスライド可能に係合し保持されるものであるため、ハウジング分離後の、ハウジングから保護カバーが脱落しやすいという問題がある。また、保護カバーの爪溝の溝方向への摺動ラインに、転写部の保護位置、転写部を露出させる転写位置、ハウジングの保持を解除する解除位置が並ぶため、転写部の保護のための移動中にも保持解除位置に位置し、不用意にハウジングが分離するおそれがある。本願はこのような問題を解消するものである。
【００１０】
ハウジングが複数部からなる塗膜転写具において、ハウジングの保持手段は、第１に各部を強固に保持することが必要とされる。保持力が弱いとハウジングが容易に分離し、またその分離によって内部部品やカートリッジがハウジング内から飛散し、使用することができなくなるからである。次いで、ハウジングの保持は容易に解除できる構造であることが必要とされる。ハウジングの内部部品を交換し、繰り返し使用を可能にするため、あるいは、塗膜転写具自体を分解して各部材ごとに分別廃棄を可能とするためには、ハウジングの保持の解除が容易でなければならない。さらに、内部部品が交換可能な塗膜転写具にあっては、多数回にわたる保持、保持解除の動作によっても、その保持力や操作性が劣化しないものである必要がある。本願はこのような課題を解決する塗膜転写具及びそのハウジングの保持機構を提供するものである。
【００１１】
転写部の保護カバーは、転写不良の発生や周囲の汚損を防止するために確実に転写部、または転写層の露出部分を覆うものであることが必要である。また、紛失を防止するために塗膜転写具のハウジング等と別離しないものが望ましい。この場合、さらに、ハウジングに固設された保護カバーが転写時に転写操作の邪魔にならない位置に固設されることが望ましい。
【００１２】
本願は、これらの、ハウジングの保持手段と転写部の保護カバーに個別に要求される性能を満たし、かつ保持手段と保護カバーとを一体化して、塗膜転写具の部品点数を減少させ、資源の節約、またコストダウンを実現する、ハウジングの保持機構及びその保持機構を適用した塗膜転写具を提供することを目的とする。
【００１３】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本願は、分離可能なハウジングと、基材と転写用塗膜とからなる転写テープと、転写テープの繰出部と、ハウジングの開口部から突出する塗膜の転写部と、基材の巻取部と、ハウジング保持部とを備え流転写具であって、ハウジング保持部は、保持部材と、ハウジング上に設けられた保持部材嵌合開口部とを含み、前記保持部材は、前記開口部を摺動し、かつ所定位置で回転する突起と、ハウジング保持片とを有するものとする。前記ハウジング保持部材は、前記保持部材嵌合開口部の転写部保護位置とハウジング保持位置間を摺動し、かつ前記保持部材嵌合開口部の転写部保護位置でハウジング保持部材の突起の回転によりハウジングの保持を解除する。
【００１４】
ハウジング保持部材は、底面とその両側に設けられる側壁とを有し、一方の側壁は一端が底面及び他方の側壁よりも長く、その一方の側壁の底面及び他方の側壁よりも長い一端に、前記開口部に保持される突起を設けた形状とし、ハウジングに設けられる保持部材嵌合開口部は長円形状とする。前記ハウジング保持部材の突起は、前記開口部に保持される。また、ハウジング保持部材はハウジングの転写部の開口部に面して設けることができる。
【００１５】
さらに本願は、塗膜転写具のハウジングの保持機構であって、保持部材と、ハウジング上に設けられた保持部材嵌合開口部とを含み、保持部材は、底面とその両側に設けられる側壁を有し、一方の側壁は一端が底面及び他方の側壁よりも長く、その一方の側壁の底面及び他方の側壁よりも長い一端に前記開口部に保持される突起を有するものとする。
【００１６】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施例である塗膜転写具の正面図を図１に示した。図１の塗膜転写具は、転写部に面して保持手段を備えるものである。
【００１７】
本願発明は、複数部からなるハウジングの保持手段を有する塗膜転写具に関するものである。ハウジングが、少なくとも二部材からなる塗膜転写具に適用される。二部材からなるものは、ハウジングの一方に内部部品または内部部品を内包するカートリッジを装着し、他方をふたとして重ね合わせ、両ハウジングを保持部材で分離しないよう保持した上で使用される。内蔵される転写テープは、薄葉紙やプラスチックフィルムの基材上に被覆層や粘着層を積層したもので被覆層及び粘着層を紙面等に転写する、いわゆる修正テープやマーキングテープ、粘着テープなど適宜選択することができる。
【００１８】
巻取部及び繰出部は、リールと該リールの支軸を有する駆動手段を含む。細長いテープ状の転写テープが繰出部のリールに巻回され、巻取部のリールには塗膜を転写した後の転写テープ基材が巻回される。繰出部と巻取部は、塗膜転写具内で並べて配置されてもよく、重ねて配置されてもよい。繰出部、巻取部の駆動手段は、ギヤやプーリなど回転物を連動させる機構が利用される。繰出部と巻取部との回転を同期させるためにＯリングなどを用いた滑り機構などを使用することもできる。駆動手段や回転の同期手段は適宜組合せて選択することができる。
【００１９】
転写部は転写テープを紙面等被転写面に転写するためにハウジングから突出するよう設けられる。転写部の形状は転写テープを被転写面に転写可能なものであればよく、転写テープの種類により、先の尖った略三角柱やへら状の板体、ローラーなど適宜選択することができる。転写部には転写テープの走行を安定させるための、テープ案内板を設けることができる。
【００２０】
内部部品は、ハウジング内に各々配置されていてもよく、一部もしくは全部がカートリッジやホルダー上に保持されていてもよい。内部部品は交換可能であっても、内蔵の転写テープを使い切り再使用しないものであってもよい。内部部品の交換は、内部部品それぞれをそのまま交換する方法であっても、内部部品がホルダー板などに着脱可能に保持され、内部部品の装着後ホルダー板を取り除く方法であっても、内部部品が固定されたカートリッジを交換する方法であってもいよい。
【００２１】
ハウジングの保持手段は、ハウジング上に設けられた開口部と、前記開口部に保持される突起とハウジング保持片とを含むハウジング保持部材とからなる。ハウジング保持部材は、底面とその両側に設けられる側壁とを有し、一方の側壁は一端が底面及び他方の側壁よりも長く、その一方の側壁の底面及び他方の側壁よりも長い一端にハウジングに設けられた開口部に保持される突起を設けた形状であることが必要である。前記側壁の形状はハウジングを挟持して保持できる形状であればよく、適宜選択される。ハウジング保持部材は保持解除用意位置とハウジング保持位置間をハウジングの開口部受に沿って摺動し、保持解除用意位置と保持解除位置を突起を軸に回転し、移動する。保持解除用意位置では保持部材は依然ハウジングを保持しており、保持は保持部材が保持解除位置に移動することで解除される。そのため、保持部材の突起を設けない側壁は保持解除位置であっても、突起を設けた側壁と共にハウジングを挟持する形状であることが必要である。
【００２２】
保持手段を設ける位置は、ハウジングを挟持できる箇所であればよいが、保持解除用意位置で保持部材の一部がハウジングに重ならない位置に設けることが好適である。このような位置に設けることで、保持部材の底面の一端を持って保持部材を回転させることができ、より小さな力で容易に保持を解除することができる。また、ハウジング保持位置では、保持部材の側壁全体がハウジングの表面に重なる位置に設けることが好適である。保持部材全体がハウジング表面に重なっているので、保持部材を回転させるための発端を掴みにくく、保持解除用意位置以外での、保持解除の回転を防ぐことができる。
【００２３】
保持手段と転写部の保護カバーを一体化する場合には、前記保持解除用意位置が転写部保護位置となる。この場合、保持部材は転写部に面して設ける必要がある。さらに保持部材は転写部または露出した転写層を覆う形状である必要がある。
【００２４】
保持部材の突起は、ハウジングの開口部を、摺動しかつ回転できる形状であることが必要である。例えば、突起を円筒状にし、その先端に開口部にかかる爪を設けることで、保持部材がハウジングから脱落することなく、保持部材のみでハウジングに配設することができる。保持部材の底面には、摺動の操作を容易にするために、つまみや突起を設けることができる。
【００２５】
ハウジングに設ける開口部は、保持部材の突起を摺動、回転させる形状であればよい。ハウジングの、保持部材の突起を有する側壁が重なる部分には該側壁の形状に沿った窪みを設けることができる。ハウジング保持位置では該端がハウジングの窪みにはまり、突起を軸に回転して保持を解除することを防ぐことができる。分離させたハウジングを保持する際の位置決め、また保持をより強固にするために、一方のハウジングに係合爪を設け、他方に爪受溝を設けてもよい。
【００２６】
【発明の効果】
本願は、ハウジングの保持手段と転写部の保護カバーに個別に要求される性能を満たし、かつ保持手段と保護カバーとを一体化して、塗膜転写具の部品点数を減少させ、資源の節約、またコストダウンを実現する、ハウジングの保持機構及びその保持機構を適用した塗膜転写具を提供することができる。また、保持解除用意位置とハウジング保持位置は摺動により移行し、転写部保護位置と保持解除位置は回転により移行するので、不用意に保持部材が保持解除位置に移行することを防止することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a coating film transfer device for transferring a coating film on a transfer tape to a paper surface or the like, and more particularly, to a holding mechanism of a housing of the coating film transfer device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Various coating film transfer tools have been proposed for transferring a transfer tape to paper or the like. The coating film transfer tool generally includes a transfer tape, a feeding unit, a transfer unit, a winding unit, and a driving unit as internal components in a housing. The transfer tape is obtained by laminating a covering layer or an adhesive layer on a base material of thin paper or a plastic film, and includes a so-called correction tape, a marking tape, an adhesive tape, and the like. In the housing, the transfer tape follows a path from the feeding section, through the transfer section, and leading to the winding section. The feeding section holds the transfer tape before the transfer, and generally winds and holds the transfer tape. The winding unit holds the base material after the transfer of the coating layer or the adhesive layer, and generally winds and holds the base material. The drive unit functions to feed and wind the transfer tape, and drives the rotation to send the transfer tape from the feed unit to the winding unit. The transfer portion is provided so as to protrude from the housing to transfer the transfer layer of the transfer tape to a transfer surface such as a paper surface.
[0003]
Since the transfer layer of the transfer tape before transfer is exposed in the transfer portion, dust and dirt may adhere to the exposed portion except during use such as storage. If dust or the like adheres to the transfer layer, transfer failure may occur in that portion, making transfer of the coating film difficult. Further, when the transfer layer is exposed, the transfer layer may inadvertently adhere to a portion other than the transfer surface. Further, the periphery of the transfer portion may be damaged due to its acute angle. In order to prevent these, some of the transfer portions or the exposed portions of the transfer layer are provided with covers that cover and protect these portions.
[0004]
The protective cover of the transfer section is configured as a cap component separate from the housing and can be detached, the cap component is fixed to the housing in a hinged manner, and the cylindrical protective cover slides on the housing. There is one provided movably (for example, see Patent Document 1). Further, as a cover means of the transfer section, an arm protruding rearward is integrally provided on a cap for covering the transfer head, a rotation shaft is provided at a rear end of the arm, and a front and rear side is provided on a side surface near a front end of the case body. There is a feature that a bearing groove that is long in the direction is provided, and a rotating shaft portion provided at the rear end of the arm is slidably and rotatably fitted in the bearing groove in the front-rear direction. For example, see Patent Document 2).
[0005]
There are two types of coating film transfer tools, one in which the internal components such as the transfer tape are replaceable, and one in which the built-in transfer tape is used up and not reused. There are various types of exchangeable components depending on the combination of internal components to be exchanged, such as exchanging only the transfer tape in the housing, exchanging part or all of the transfer tape and the drive unit. Replacement methods include a method of replacing each internal component individually, a method of removing the holder plate after the internal components are detachably held on a holder plate, etc., and a method of replacing a cartridge to which the internal components are fixed. There is. For all coating transfer tools whose internal components can be replaced, the internal components or cartridge must be separable from the housing of the coating transfer device at the time of replacement. It is necessary to have an opening for access. In general, the housing is provided with releasable holding means so that the housing can be opened and closed. In general, the holding means moves between a holding position and a holding release position of the housing, and does not hold the housing at the holding release position, so that the housing can be separated.
[0006]
In the housing holding means, a housing holding mechanism is added to other members in order to reduce the number of parts of the coating film transfer tool, save resources and reduce costs, and attach the housing to the members. Some also serve as holding means. In general, a coating film transfer tool provided with a holding mechanism on the surface of the coating film transfer tool housing has a housing made of two members and an internal component can be replaced by a cartridge. For example, a slidable holding member protruding from the surface of the housing is provided on the surface of the cartridge, and an opening is provided on the surface of the housing so that the holding member can protrude and slide. The holding member has a portion projecting from the housing surface larger than a shaft portion supporting the projecting portion and has a dumbbell shape. The opening has a large hole through which the portion projecting from the surface of the holding member penetrates, and a projecting portion. Shall not be able to pass through, and shall be in the form of a small hole about the width of the shaft. One of the housing, the cartridge, and the other housing of the coating film transfer tool having such a configuration are overlapped, the holding member protruding from the housing is passed through the large hole of the housing opening, and the holding member is slid to the small hole side. Then, the housing and the cartridge are connected, and the housing is in a holding state. When the holding member is positioned on the side of the large hole, the holding is released, and the one housing can be separated. In some cases, such a holding unit is applied to a member of a transfer unit, and the holding member is integrated with the transfer member (for example, see Patent Documents 3 and 4).
[0007]
Alternatively, a transfer unit cover and a holding unit are integrated (see Patent Document 5). In a transfer device having a lock cover for protecting a transfer tape exposed through a transfer portion in a front-rear movable manner, a long claw is provided on one side edge in the longitudinal direction of the lock cover over the edge direction. At the same time, on the other side edge, a short claw shorter than the long claw is provided at a required position in the edge direction, and the long claw of the lock cover can be slid on one of the case body and the case lid And a short claw groove for slidably engaging the short claw is provided on the other side, and the insertion claw of the long claw and the short claw with respect to the long / short claw groove is provided. In this case, the case body and the case lid are gripped and connected together, and a claw releasing concave notch is formed at a required position in the groove direction of the short claw groove with an opening width corresponding to the length of the short claw. It is provided.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional holding means and the protection cover are integrated, and the protection cover is such that a long claw provided on the protection cover is slidably engaged with and held by a long claw groove provided on the housing. For this reason, there is a problem that the protective cover easily falls off the housing after the housing is separated. In addition, since the protection position of the transfer portion, the transfer position for exposing the transfer portion, and the release position for releasing the holding of the housing are lined up in the sliding line in the groove direction of the claw groove of the protection cover, the transfer portion is protected. Even during the movement, the housing may be located at the holding release position, and the housing may be inadvertently separated. The present application solves such a problem.
[0010]
In the coating film transfer tool in which the housing is composed of a plurality of parts, first, the holding means of the housing is required to firmly hold each part. This is because if the holding force is weak, the housing is easily separated, and the separation scatters the internal components and the cartridge from inside the housing, so that the housing cannot be used. Next, it is necessary that the structure of the housing can be easily released. In order to replace the internal parts of the housing and enable repeated use, or to disassemble the coating film transfer tool itself and separate and discard each member, the housing must be easily released. Must. Further, in the case of a coating film transfer tool whose internal components can be replaced, it is necessary that the holding force and the operability do not deteriorate even by holding and releasing operations many times. The present application provides a coating film transfer tool and a housing holding mechanism for solving such a problem.
[0011]
It is necessary that the protective cover of the transfer section surely covers the transfer section or the exposed portion of the transfer layer in order to prevent occurrence of transfer failure and contamination of the surroundings. In addition, it is preferable that the housing is not separated from the housing or the like of the coating film transfer tool in order to prevent loss. In this case, it is desirable that the protective cover fixed to the housing is fixed at a position where the protective cover does not hinder the transfer operation during transfer.
[0012]
The present application satisfies the performance required separately for the housing holding means and the protective cover of the transfer unit, and integrates the holding means and the protective cover to reduce the number of parts of the coating film transfer tool, It is an object of the present invention to provide a housing holding mechanism and a coating film transfer tool to which the holding mechanism is applied, which realizes cost saving and cost reduction.

The housing holding member has a bottom surface and side walls provided on both sides thereof. One side wall has one end longer than the bottom surface and the other side wall, and one end longer than the bottom surface of the one side wall and the other side wall. The shape is such that a projection is provided in the opening, and the holding member fitting opening provided in the housing has an elliptical shape. The projection of the housing holding member is held in the opening. Further, the housing holding member can be provided facing the opening of the transfer portion of the housing.

The transfer section may be provided with a tape guide plate for stabilizing the movement of the transfer tape.
[0020]
The internal components may be arranged in the housing, respectively, or a part or all of them may be held on a cartridge or a holder. The internal components may be replaceable, or the internal transfer tape may be used up and not reused. Regarding the replacement of internal parts, even if the internal parts are replaced as they are, the internal parts are detachably held on a holder plate, etc. The method of replacing the fixed cartridge may be used.
[0021]
The holding means of the housing includes an opening provided on the housing, and a housing holding member including a projection held by the opening and a housing holding piece. The housing holding member has a bottom surface and side walls provided on both sides thereof, and one side wall has one end longer than the bottom surface and the other side wall, and one end longer than the bottom surface of the one side wall and one end longer than the other side wall. It is necessary to have a shape provided with a projection held in the provided opening. The shape of the side wall may be any shape as long as it can hold and hold the housing, and is appropriately selected. The housing holding member slides between the holding release preparation position and the housing holding position along the opening receiving portion of the housing, and rotates and moves about the projection between the holding release preparation position and the holding release position. In the holding release preparation position, the holding member still holds the housing, and the holding is released by moving the holding member to the holding release position. Therefore, the side wall of the holding member without the projection needs to have a shape that sandwiches the housing together with the side wall with the projection even at the holding release position.
[0022]
The position where the holding means is provided may be any place where the housing can be sandwiched, but it is preferable that the holding means is provided at a position where the holding member does not partially overlap the housing at the holding release preparation position. By providing the holding member at such a position, the holding member can be rotated while holding one end of the bottom surface of the holding member, and the holding can be easily released with a smaller force. In the housing holding position, it is preferable to provide the housing at a position where the entire side wall of the holding member overlaps the surface of the housing. Since the entire holding member overlaps the housing surface, it is difficult to grasp the starting point for rotating the holding member, and rotation of the holding release other than the holding release preparation position can be prevented.
[0023]
When the holding means and the protection cover of the transfer unit are integrated, the holding release preparation position is the transfer unit protection position. In this case, the holding member needs to be provided facing the transfer unit. Further, the holding member needs to be shaped to cover the transfer portion or the exposed transfer layer.
[0024]
The projection of the holding member needs to be shaped so that it can slide and rotate in the opening of the housing. For example, by forming the projection into a cylindrical shape and providing a claw that engages with the opening at the tip thereof, the holding member can be disposed on the housing only with the holding member without falling off the housing. Knobs and projections can be provided on the bottom surface of the holding member to facilitate sliding operation.
[0025]
The opening provided in the housing may have any shape as long as the protrusion of the holding member slides and rotates. A recess along the shape of the side wall can be provided in a portion of the housing where the side wall having the projection of the holding member overlaps. In the housing holding position, the end fits into the recess of the housing, and it is possible to prevent the holding from being released by the rotation about the projection. One housing may be provided with an engagement claw and the other may be provided with a claw receiving groove in order to more firmly position and hold the separated housing when holding it.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
The present application satisfies the performance required individually for the holding means of the housing and the protective cover of the transfer unit, and integrates the holding means and the protective cover to reduce the number of parts of the coating film transfer tool, save resources, Further, it is possible to provide a housing holding mechanism and a coating film transfer tool to which the holding mechanism is applied, which realizes cost reduction. Further, since the holding release preparation position and the housing holding position shift by sliding, and the transfer portion protection position and the holding release position shift by rotation, it is possible to prevent the holding member from inadvertently shifting to the holding release position. it can.
