In a combination coating film transfer tool and writing implement, a reversible coating film transfer tool can be fitted to the writing implement in either of two ways: one in which the coating film extending past the transfer head is exposed for use, and the other in which the coating film is protected within a housing formed on the writing implement.

Combination coating film transfer tool and writing implement

A coating film transfer tool has a T-shaped transfer head with a pressing transfer part on the tip end thereof which protrudes from the main body and which is integrally formed with a pivot shaft that is rotatably mounted in the main body of the tool. Tape controlling members are formed on both lateral sides of the pressing transfer part along the edges of the tape only on the return side of the pressing transfer part, which is the side that the tape base material runs over after the coating film is transferred from it. The tape controlling members control the lateral movement of the tape base material, and do not interfere with the transfer tape upstream on the application side of the pressing transfer part, where the base material is coated with the coating film.

A film transfer apparatus includes an apparatus casing having a feed-core support shaft for detachably mounting a feed core and a take-up core support shaft for detachably mounting a take-up core. The support shafts respectively include a transmission member for causing the feed core to provide a film ribbon take-up speed higher than a ribbon feed speed of the feed core. For slippably coupling the feed core rotation and the take-up core rotation, a slip coupling mechanism is provided. This mechanism is constituted by an engaged portion of the take-up core for engagement with a mating engaging portion of the take-up core support shaft. The engaged portion is elastically deformable to a non-transmission condition with application thereto of a force exceeding a predetermined level. Further, the engaged portion is provided with a mechanical strength smaller than the engaging portion.
