Abstract
Provided is a transfer device capable of maintaining a constant tension of band-shaped ribbon from the start till the end of operation requiring no action by a user. While band-shaped ribbon (F) is being supplied, a feed shaft unit () and a feed drive gear () rotate. In accordance with their rotations, a movable plate () screw-retreats so that the interval between the movable plate () and the surface of the feed drive gear () is increased in the axial direction. Consequently, the force of a coil spring () is reduced and the braking force (a force to press the surface of the feed drive gear () to stop its rotation) is gradually decreased.
