Abstract
An automatic adhesive transfer device used with an adhesive tape is disclosed, which is for use to bond desired portions of paper or the like in offices, home, schools, etc. In the device, an adhesive tape roll, which is formed by winding an adhesive tape comprising a double-side release paper with an adhesive coating thereon with the adhesive coated surface on the outer side, is loaded in a casing. In the use of the device, the adhesive tape roll can be rotated only in the direction of adhesive transfer and at a rotational speed suitable therefor. The device is thus not damaged by applying force to it in the opposite direction (i.e., rotation-blocked direction). In addition, it is possible to transfer the adhesive to a desired location accurately at all times.
Description
' ~ 2112329 AUTOMATIC ADHESIVE TRANSFER DEVICE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the prior art, there is an automatic adhesive transfer device used with an adhesive tape with adhesive coating thereon. Fig. 8 shows such an automatic adhesive transfer device, generally designated at 50. The device 50 is used with an adhesive tape comprising a double-side release paper 51 with pressure-sensitive adhesive coating 52 thereon. The adhesive tape is used in the form of a roll 53 with the adhesive-coated surface on the outer side.
The adhesive tape roll 53 is loaded rotatably in a casing 54. The casing 54 has its top provided with a used tape exit S5, through which release paper 51 after use, i.e., the used portion of the adhesive tape, is led out. Inside the casing 54, a stopper 56 is disposed at a position downstream the tape exit 55 in the direction of rotation of or the adhesive tape roll for preventing used portion of the release paper from remaining in the casing. Further, in order that the adhesive tape roll 53 should not be freely rotated while transferring the adhesive 52, a spring-like urging member 57 is mounted inside the casing 54 such that it is directed to follow the direction of rotation of the adhesive tape roll 53. The urging member ~ 21~ 2329 57 has a free end 58, which is in contact with an adhesive-free edge portion of the release paper 51 and thus is applying a braking force to the adhesive tape roll 53 to block free rotation thereof while not in contact with the adhesive 52.
However, since the spring-like urging member urges the adhesive tape roll only with its free end, it can not restrict the direction of rotation of the adhesive tape roll only to the direction of adhesive transfer. This means that in the case of an automatic adhesive transfer device, which is designed such that the casing is pulled toward the user for the adhesive transfer, no adhesive can be transferred if it is pushed as Westerners do with their habit. Besides, such an erroneous operation may damage the adhesive tape roll and, in an extreme case, spoil the function of the device.
Further, with the above prior art automatic adhesive transfer device, it is necessary for the urging member to urge the adhesive tape roll adequately at all times while the adhesive tape roll is reduced in diameter gradually in use. This means that sophisticated design is necessary concerning the shape, mounting angle, length, elasticity degree, etc. of the urging member. Therefore, a great deal of time and labor are required for the fabrication and 3 ~ ~
mounting of the urging member.
- Furthermore, manual control of the rotational speed of the adhesive tape roll to a constant speed is very difficult. Therefore, very frequently the adhesive is transferred beyond the desired end position due to an excessive speed caused in the adhesive transfer operation.
An object of the invention is to provide an automatic adhesive transfer device, which can reliably prevent free rotation of the adhesive tape roll and permits the adhesive tape roll to be rotated only in the direction of adhesive transfer and not in the opposite direction, thus reliably permitting a person to carry out the adhesive transfer operation safely and accurately at all times.
A feature of the invention provides an automatic adhesive transfer device, which can adequately brake the rotation of the adhesive tape roll to provide for a constant rotational speed thereof suited for the transfer of the adhesive, thus permitting accurate adhesive transfer operation to be carried out very readily without exceeding the desired adhesive transfer end position.
In accordance with this invention, an automatic adhesive transfer device includes a casing, and an adhesive tape made of double-sided release paper in the form of an adhesive tape roll having an outer side surface coated with adhesive, the adhesive tape roll being rotatably mounted in the casing. The casing has a bottom with an opening 3 ?~ ~
exposing the outer side surface of the adhesive tape coated with adhesive, and a top having an exit for discharging a used portion of the double-sided release paper. Means are provided for allowing rotation of the adhesive tape roll in the casing in only a direction of adhesive transfer. A
tape cutter is disposed adjacent to the exit; the tape cutter having an upper end cutter blade for cutting of the used portion of the double-sided release paper, and an urging part urging the used portion of the double-sided release paper in the casing. Preferably, the means allowing rotation of the adhesive roll comprises a ratchet mechanism, including a ratchet mechanism member connected with one of the adhesive tape roll and the casing. A
ratchet pawl connected with the other of the adhesive tape roll and the casing engages the ratchet mechanism member so as to allow rotation of the adhesive tape roll in only a direction of adhesive transfer.
An embodiment of the invention now will be described with reference the accompanying drawings, in which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figs. 1 to 7, there is shown an automatic adhesive transfer device 1 embodying the invention. The device has a casing 2 with a cover 2a. An adhesive transfer adhesive tape roll support shaft 3 is accommodated in the casing 2, and an an adhesive transfer adhesive tape roll 6 is supported for rotation on the support shaft 3.
In this embodiment, the adhesive tape roll 6 comprises an adhesive tape comprising a double-side release paper 4, on w 2112329 one surface 4a of which uniformly spaced-apart patches 5 of an adhesive material are coated in a row extending in the longitudinal direction of the release paper while leaving opposite adhesive-free edge portions thereof. It is of course possible to coat the-adhesive continuously over the entire area of one surface of the double-side release paper 4.
The casing 2 has its top provided with a release paper exit 7. Inside the casing 2, a release paper discharging member 8 is mounted thereon at a position downstream the release paper exit 7 in the direction of rotation of the adhesive tape roll 6 such as to prevent a used portion of the release paper 4 after use, i.e., the used portion of the adhesive tape, from remaining in the caslng 2 without getting out through the release paper exit 7. The release paper discharging member 8 has a stem 8a, which is pivotally coupled, by loose fitting for instance, to a discharging member support provided formed on the inner surface of the casing 2. It also has a contact end 8b, which is held in contact with the front side adhesive-free edge portion of the adhesive tape roll by the weight of the member 8 itself, thus permitting the release paper 4 to get out of the casing through the release paper exit 7 without remaining in the casing. Inside the casing 2, a "4_~
2112~29 paper cutter 9 is disposed inwardly of the release paper exit 7. The adhesive tape cutter 9 includes a cutter part 9b, which is rotatably mounted on the casing 2 and having a cutter blade 9a for cutting the release paper 4, and an urging part 9c, which extends downward from the cutter part 9b for urging the release paper 4 proceeding toward the exit 7 for cutting off that tape portion. When the the release paper 4 i8 increased considerably, it is cut off with release paper cutter 9.
Figs. 3 to 7 show the relation between a hollow core 11 of the adhesive tape roll 6 and a ratchet mechanism 10.
In the core 11 of the adhesive tape roll 6 is fitted a ratchet mechanism member 12, which has a substantially channel-shaped sectional profile and has a ratchet 13 on one side of it. The ratchet mechanism member 12 has a central hole 12a, which is penetrated by the adhesive tape roll support shaft 3. Its outer periphery has wedge-like ridges 12b which are wedged into the core 11 from the inner peripheral surface thereof so that it is secured to the core 11. The inner surface of the casing 2 on the side of the ratchet 13 is formed with a recess 14, in which the ratchet 13 is accommodated. A ratchet pawl 15 projects from the peripheral surface of the recess 14 for meshing with teeth of the ratchet 13.
~- 2112329 In operation, when the ratchet 13 is rotated in the - clockwise direction in Fig. 4, the ratchet pawl 15 is flexed to permit the ratchet teeth 13a to pass by it. When the ratchet 13 is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction, on the other hand, the ratchet pawl 15 gets into mesh with one of the ratchet teeth 13a to block the rotation of the ratchet 13. The ratchet 13 and ratchet pawl 15 have their shapes and disposition angles designed such as to permit the above operation.
This embodiment of the automatic adhesive transfer device 1 is designed such that the adhesive tape roll 6 can be rotated when and only when it is moved to the right as shown in Fig. 2. That is, by applying a force to the device in this direction, the adhesive tape roll 6 can be rotated smoothly, and thus a satisfactory adhesive transfer operation can be obtained. However, by pushing the device to the left in Fig. 2, the rotation of the adhesive tape roll 6 i8 blocked by the function of the ratchet mechanism 10 .
In the ratchet mechanism 10 of this embodiment, the ratchet 13 is provided on the ratchet mechanism member 12 on the side of the adhesive tape roll 6, while the ratchet pawl 1~ is provided on the side of the casing 2. However, it is possible to obtain the same function and effects with ~ 2112329 a converse arrangement, that is, by providing the ratchet pawl 15 on the ratchet mechanism member 12 and providing the ratchet 13 on the casing 2.
With the above ratchet mechanism provided in the automatic adhesive transfer device according to the invention, the adhesive tape roll is not rotated freely, that i8, it can be rotated only in the direction of the adhesive transfer and can not be rotated by applying a force to the device in the opposite direction. Thus, the device permits even an infant or a person in any country to transfer adhesive smoothly at all times and without possibility of erroneous operation. Thus, there is no possibility of destroying the device with erroneous application of a great force to the device in the wrong direction, thus eliminating otherwise possible troubles in the exhausting of the used portion of the double-side release paper from the device.
Further, unlike the prior art automatic adhesive transfer device, there is no need of urging the adhesive tape roll with an adequate force with a spring-like urging member, which is required to provide a sophisticated touch and hence dictates a correspondingly complicated contrivance. It is thus possible to provide an automatic adhesive transfer device, which is very simple in ~ 2112329 construction, can be readily handled and is free from trouble even if it is operated erroneously.
Further, since the ratchet mechanism is provided, unlike the prior art automatic adhesive transfer device, there is no possibility of transfer of the adhesive-beyond a desired end position due to excessive rotational speed of the adhesive tape roll that may be caused because the adhesive tape roll is rotated manually with difficult rotational speed control, but it is possible to readily transfer the adhesive accurately.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figs. 1 to 7, there is shown an automatic adhesive transfer device 1 embodying the invention. The device has a casing 2 with a cover 2a. An adhesive transfer adhesive tape roll support shaft 3 is accommodated in the casing 2, and an an adhesive transfer adhesive tape roll 6 is supported for rotation on the support shaft 3.
In this embodiment, the adhesive tape roll 6 comprises an adhesive tape comprising a double-side release paper 4, on w 2112329 one surface 4a of which uniformly spaced-apart patches 5 of an adhesive material are coated in a row extending in the longitudinal direction of the release paper while leaving opposite adhesive-free edge portions thereof. It is of course possible to coat the-adhesive continuously over the entire area of one surface of the double-side release paper 4.
The casing 2 has its top provided with a release paper exit 7. Inside the casing 2, a release paper discharging member 8 is mounted thereon at a position downstream the release paper exit 7 in the direction of rotation of the adhesive tape roll 6 such as to prevent a used portion of the release paper 4 after use, i.e., the used portion of the adhesive tape, from remaining in the caslng 2 without getting out through the release paper exit 7. The release paper discharging member 8 has a stem 8a, which is pivotally coupled, by loose fitting for instance, to a discharging member support provided formed on the inner surface of the casing 2. It also has a contact end 8b, which is held in contact with the front side adhesive-free edge portion of the adhesive tape roll by the weight of the member 8 itself, thus permitting the release paper 4 to get out of the casing through the release paper exit 7 without remaining in the casing. Inside the casing 2, a "4_~
2112~29 paper cutter 9 is disposed inwardly of the release paper exit 7. The adhesive tape cutter 9 includes a cutter part 9b, which is rotatably mounted on the casing 2 and having a cutter blade 9a for cutting the release paper 4, and an urging part 9c, which extends downward from the cutter part 9b for urging the release paper 4 proceeding toward the exit 7 for cutting off that tape portion. When the the release paper 4 i8 increased considerably, it is cut off with release paper cutter 9.
Figs. 3 to 7 show the relation between a hollow core 11 of the adhesive tape roll 6 and a ratchet mechanism 10.
In the core 11 of the adhesive tape roll 6 is fitted a ratchet mechanism member 12, which has a substantially channel-shaped sectional profile and has a ratchet 13 on one side of it. The ratchet mechanism member 12 has a central hole 12a, which is penetrated by the adhesive tape roll support shaft 3. Its outer periphery has wedge-like ridges 12b which are wedged into the core 11 from the inner peripheral surface thereof so that it is secured to the core 11. The inner surface of the casing 2 on the side of the ratchet 13 is formed with a recess 14, in which the ratchet 13 is accommodated. A ratchet pawl 15 projects from the peripheral surface of the recess 14 for meshing with teeth of the ratchet 13.
~- 2112329 In operation, when the ratchet 13 is rotated in the - clockwise direction in Fig. 4, the ratchet pawl 15 is flexed to permit the ratchet teeth 13a to pass by it. When the ratchet 13 is rotated in the counter-clockwise direction, on the other hand, the ratchet pawl 15 gets into mesh with one of the ratchet teeth 13a to block the rotation of the ratchet 13. The ratchet 13 and ratchet pawl 15 have their shapes and disposition angles designed such as to permit the above operation.

That is, by applying a force to the device in this direction, the adhesive tape roll 6 can be rotated smoothly, and thus a satisfactory adhesive transfer operation can be obtained. However, by pushing the device to the left in Fig. 2, the rotation of the adhesive tape roll 6 i8 blocked by the function of the ratchet mechanism 10 .
In the ratchet mechanism 10 of this embodiment, the ratchet 13 is provided on the ratchet mechanism member 12 on the side of the adhesive tape roll 6, while the ratchet pawl 1~ is provided on the side of the casing 2. However, it is possible to obtain the same function and effects with ~ 2112329 a converse arrangement, that is, by providing the ratchet pawl 15 on the ratchet mechanism member 12 and providing the ratchet 13 on the casing 2.
With the above ratchet mechanism provided in the automatic adhesive transfer device according to the invention, the adhesive tape roll is not rotated freely, that i8, it can be rotated only in the direction of the adhesive transfer and can not be rotated by applying a force to the device in the opposite direction. Thus, the device permits even an infant or a person in any country to transfer adhesive smoothly at all times and without possibility of erroneous operation. Thus, there is no possibility of destroying the device with erroneous application of a great force to the device in the wrong direction, thus eliminating otherwise possible troubles in the exhausting of the used portion of the double-side release paper from the device.
Further, unlike the prior art automatic adhesive transfer device, there is no need of urging the adhesive tape roll with an adequate force with a spring-like urging member, which is required to provide a sophisticated touch and hence dictates a correspondingly complicated contrivance. It is thus possible to provide an automatic adhesive transfer device, which is very simple in ~ 2112329 construction, can be readily handled and is free from trouble even if it is operated erroneously.
