Abstract
A hand held film-transferring device for transferring a film made of correction agent, fluorescent agent, or a similar film onto a surface, such as a sheet of paper. In the disclosed invention a film-transferring tape can be kept as a spare without requiring the feed reel and the take-up reel to be integrally united into a fixed set of reels as in the conventional devices, thereby reducing necessary materials and making it easy to store and carry the film-transferring tape. The improvement includes a peg attached to the leading end of the film-transferring tape and the take-up reel. The film-transferring head can be put into a position ready for film transfer by rotating the film-transferring head only 360°, thereby facilitating exchange of the film-transferring tapes.
Claims4
A Film-transferring device housing, 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, characterized in that a driving gear is rotatably mounted on a second support axis prepared in the case;
- a dependent gear is rotatably mounted on a first support axis prepared in the case and rotates together with the driving gear through an intermediate gear;
- the feed reel is detachably mounted on a boss of the driving gear;
- and a peg connected to the leading edge of the film-transferring tape wound around the feed reel is detachably joined to the take-up reel which also acts as a boss of the dependent gear.
