報の転写を行なうことを特徴とする。Therefore, the purpose of this explanation is to solve these problems, and the purpose is to provide a handy printer that can transfer image information with high quality to a flat transfer paper surface. In a handy printer that transfers image information by manually moving line-type thermal heads arranged in a line and at the same time pressing a thermal transfer ink ribbon against the transfer paper surface with the thermal head, the thermal head generates multiple heat sources on the edge of the substrate. It is characterized by transferring image information by arranging the body.

ができる。According to the above configuration of the present invention, the surface roughness of the paper surface to be transferred,
Elastic deformation of the flat rubber sheet can absorb print quality deterioration factors such as curves, irregularities, and inclinations of the line-type thermal head, allowing thermal transfer ink to be accurately transferred to the paper surface even when the thermal head is manually moved. It is possible to eliminate transfer omissions.

への抵抗が低減し操作性が向上する。FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of the transfer in the embodiment of this description, in which the thermal head l is sandwiched between a presser plate 2 and a heat sink 3, and a plurality of heating elements are formed on the terminal surface of the board in a direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 1. A heating element 4 is disposed and is manually moved in the direction of arrow 5 to generate heat in a predetermined order, and the local heat generation locally melts one ink on the thermal transfer ink ribbon 6 to transfer the material to the transfer target. Desired image information can be obtained by hot-pressing the ink particles 8 onto the paper surface 7, but the back side of the transfer paper surface 7 has a thickness of several millimeters and the rubber accuracy is 70 degrees or less in contact with the transfer paper surface. By arranging a flat rubber sheet 9 with a smooth surface and elastically deforming the part on which the thermal head 1 is pressed, the thermal head 1, the thermal transfer ink ribbon 6 and the paper surface 7 to be transferred are brought into close contact with each other, and the heating element 4 melts the sheet. The applied ink can be reliably transferred to a predetermined position. Also,
As shown in the front view of the transfer part in FIG. 2, even when the surface roughness of the paper surface 7 to be transferred is rough, the unevenness is absorbed by the flat rubber sheet 9, and the thermal head l is transferred to the thermal transfer ink ribbon 6.
Similarly, a line-type thermal head 1 in which a plurality of heating elements (not shown) on the end surface of the thermal head l are arranged in a line in the width direction. The flat rubber sheet absorbs the curves and unevenness of the sheet, and the thermal head 1 can be brought into close contact with the paper surface 7 via the thermal transfer ink ribbon 6. Furthermore, as shown in the front view of the thermal transfer part in FIG. By pressing the head 1 against the transfer paper surface 7, the flat rubber sheet 9 is elastically deformed, and the thermal head 1 can be brought into close contact with the transfer paper surface 7 via the thermal transfer ink ribbon 6. When attaching the thermal head 1 to the main body of the handy printer, tilt the thermal head 1 in the operating direction so that the tip in the direction of arrow 5 (horizontal direction) shown in Figure I81 is slightly lifted from the transfer paper surface 7. If installed, the resistance in the operating direction will be reduced and operability will be improved.

ハンディプリンタが提供可能である。As described above, according to the present invention, a flat rubber sheet is arranged on the back side of the paper surface to be transferred, and image information is transferred by a line-type thermal head, thereby improving the adhesion between the thermal head and the paper surface to be transferred. Therefore, it is possible to provide a handy printer that not only improves printing quality but also has excellent manual operability and can transfer to any paper surface.
