ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a film-transferring device which is used for transferring a film made of correction agent, fluorescent agent or the like and applied to a film-transferring tape, onto a surface (of a sheet of paper, or the like) to receive that film.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
There is publicly known a film-transferring device as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-2724. This conventional film-transferring device houses, in a case, a feed reel and a take-up reel rotating together through a power-transmission means, wherein a film-transferring tape is fed by the feed reel; the tape is, while being moved, pressed against a film-receiving sheet by a film-transferring head projecting outside the case; and the used portion of the tape is wound around the take-up reel. With this publicly known device, the feed reel and the take-up reel are integrally united through a film-transferring tape wound around the feed reel, and these reels are detachably mounted on their respective axes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The publicly known device is composed as described above, and thus a film-transferring tape to be prepared as a spare needs to be kept in such a manner that the feed and take-up reels are integrally united through the film-transferring tape. Thus, a unit of the members for storage becomes bulky, which causes a cumbersome process for storage. Furthermore, when the tape is used up, the whole of these reels must be discarded. This is, in fact, wasteful and uneconomical.
The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-described defects inherent to the conventional device by improving its structure. More particularly, the present invention is formed such that a film-transferring tape as a spare can be kept without requiring the feed reel and the take-up reel to be integrally united into a fixed set of reels as in the conventional device, thereby reducing necessary materials, and making it easy to store and carry the film-transferring tape. In another aspect, the present invention provides a film-transferring device, wherein once a peg is joined to the take-up reel and the film-transferring tape is stretched tautly between the feed and take-up reels, it is possible to easily put the film-transferring head into a position ready for transference of the film only by rotating the film-transferring head 360°, thereby facilitating exchange of the film-transferring tapes.
