Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a line marker, and more particularly to a line marker that can be erased with an eraser. [Background technology]

[0002] Description of the Prior Art Conventional line markers use ink, so once you draw on a character, it is impossible to erase it.

[0003] Also, instead of ink, there is a transparent fluorescent tape that can be stuck over the letters like correction tape and then peeled off, but it is not designed to be partially erased with an eraser.

[0004] [Related Technology] Related prior art includes JP 2003-211597 A, “Recording material for writing instruments” (Patent Document 1), Utility Model Registration No. 3126930 A, “Freely stickable and peelable tape-type line marker” (Patent Document 2), and Utility Model Publication No. 07-52133 A, “Plastic tape-type marker” (Patent Document 3).

[0005] Patent Document 1 describes a special writability-imparting layer that allows characters written on the layer with a writing implement to be erased with an eraser, but the layer itself cannot be erased. Patent Document 2 describes a configuration in which a tape-type line marker can be used to create or delete a line by sticking or peeling it off. Patent Document 3 describes a configuration in which a weak adhesive is applied to one side of a plastic tape, and the tape is peeled off when erasing. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] However, conventional line markers using ink have the disadvantage that once the marker has been drawn on characters or the like, it cannot be easily erased with an eraser, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, although the conventional tape-type line markers can be peeled off in their entirety, they cannot be erased in part, which is inconvenient.

[0008] Incidentally, Patent Documents 1 to 3 do not disclose any tape-type line marker that can be easily erased with an eraser.

[0009] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has as its object to provide a tape-type line marker that can be easily erased with an eraser. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The present invention, which solves the problems of the above-mentioned conventional examples, is a tape-type line marker, which has a marker tape in which a base tape is attached over a translucent colored tape with an adhesive backing, a tape reel with the marker tape wound around a core, an outlet for discharging the marker tape, and when the marker tape is pressed against paper and discharged from the outlet, a blade section that peels the colored tape from the base tape and adheres the back side to the paper and cuts the colored tape, and a take-up reel that winds up the base tape from which the colored tape has been peeled off, and is characterized in that the colored tape that has been adhered to the paper can be erased with an eraser.

[0011] In addition, the present invention is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned line marker, the colored tape has a transparent adhesive layer formed under a translucent colored film, and a base tape is attached on top of the colored film to form the marker tape.

[0012] In addition, the present invention is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned line marker, the case has two unit parts each having a marker tape, a tape reel, a blade part, and a take-up reel, and the colored films of the marker tape of the two unit parts are colored in different colors.

[0013] The present invention is also characterized in that, in the above-mentioned line marker, the case is stick-shaped, and the blade portion of one unit part is arranged to protrude from an outlet formed at one end of the case, and the blade portion of the other unit part is arranged to protrude from an outlet formed at the other end of the case.

[0014] In addition, the present invention is characterized in that in the above-mentioned line marker, the thickness of the colored tape is 8 μm or more and 20 μm or less. Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to the present invention, a tape-type line marker has a case equipped with: marker tape in which a base tape is attached over a translucent colored tape with an adhesive backing; a tape reel with the marker tape wound around a core; an outlet for discharging the marker tape; a blade section that peels the colored tape from the base tape and adheres the back side to the paper when the marker tape is pressed against the paper and discharged from the outlet, and cuts the colored tape; and a take-up reel that winds up the base tape from which the colored tape has been peeled off.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. [Outline of the embodiment] The line marker according to an embodiment of the present invention (the present line marker) is a tape-type line marker that has a case equipped with: marker tape in which a base tape is attached over a translucent colored tape that has an adhesive backing; a tape reel with the marker tape wound around a core; an outlet for discharging the marker tape; and when the marker tape is pressed against paper and discharged from the outlet, a blade section that peels the colored tape from the base tape and sticks its back side to the paper, cutting the colored tape; and a take-up reel that winds up the base tape from which the colored tape has been peeled off. The applied colored tape can be easily erased with an eraser, and it is possible to erase a marked area and then remark another area, improving convenience.

[0019] [Outline of this line marker: Figures 1-4] The schematic configuration of the line marker will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is a right side view of the line marker, Figure 2 is a left side view of the line marker, Figure 3 is a bottom view of the line marker, Figure 4 is a top view of the line marker, and Figure 5 is a front view of the line marker. Note that the back view is the same as the front view, so it is omitted. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the line marker includes a main body 1 and caps 2a and 2b.

[0020] The main body 1 is provided with two units (marker tape units) for drawing tape-type marker lines inside a transparent plastic case. As described below, the unit section is a unit equipped with a mechanism for storing marker tape 30 (30a, 30b), attaching the colored tape to the paper surface of a notebook or book (hereinafter referred to as the paper surface) to draw marker lines, and recovering base tape 33 (33a, 33b), and is basically configured in the same way as the mechanism for correction tape. As shown in FIG. 4, the present line marker includes a unit portion A and a unit portion B.

[0021] The unit parts A and B have the same basic configuration, but the marker tapes 30a and 30b are different in color, allowing two different colored marker lines to be drawn with one tape. Discharge ports (openings) 5a, 5b are provided at both ends (front and back) of the stick-shaped main body 1, and the marker tapes 30a, 30b are discharged from different ends.

[0022] Furthermore, a blade portion 6a is provided so as to protrude from the discharge port 5a, and a blade portion 6b is provided so as to protrude from the discharge port 5b. Caps 2a and 2b are detachably provided on both ends of the main body 1 through which the marker tapes 30a and 30b are discharged.

[0023] [Marker tape composition: Figure 6] Before specifically describing the configuration of the unit portion of the line marker, the configuration of the marker tape 30 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the marker tape. As shown in FIG. 6, the marker tape 30 has a three-layer structure, in which an adhesive layer 31, a colored film 32, and a base tape 33 are laminated in this order from the bottom. The colored film 32 is a film made of a transparent material that is colored to have light-transmitting properties, and is colored in a color that allows the characters and the like underneath the colored tape to be clearly visible when the colored film 32 is attached to a paper surface, etc. The color of the colored film 32 may be a fluorescent color or a non-fluorescent color.

[0024] The adhesive layer 31 is a layer containing an adhesive with weak adhesive strength. In Fig. 6, the adhesive layer 31 is protruding from the colored film 32 to clearly show that the marker tape has three layers, but it may be formed, for example, by being applied to the back surface of the colored film 32.

[0025] In this specification, the portion consisting of the adhesive layer 31 and the colored film 32 is referred to as the colored tape, and when it is pressed against a paper surface and discharged, the adhesive layer 31 below the colored film 32 sticks to the paper surface, and the colored tape forms a marker line. The thickness of the colored film 32 and the adhesive layer 31 is made thinner than that of the correction tape so that the characters and the like underneath the colored tape can be clearly seen when the colored tape is applied to a paper surface.

[0026] The base tape 33 is a support layer that holds the colored tape composed of the adhesive layer 31 and the colored film 32. The base tape 33 is unwound from the tape reel 4 in an overlapping state with the colored tape, and the colored tape is peeled off via the blade portion 6, and only the base tape 33 is wound onto the take-up reel 7. The film thickness of the base tape 33 is set to 12 μm to 40 μm (0.012 mm to 0.040 mm).

[0027] In particular, the colored tape of this invention can be easily erased by rubbing it with an eraser after it has been applied to the surface of paper, as the markings are scraped off the paper and adhere to the eraser. The colored tape formed by combining the colored film 32 and the adhesive layer 31 is formed thinner than the type of tape that requires the marker line to be peeled off by hand, and the thickness of the colored tape is 8 μm to 20 μm, preferably 10 μm to 17 μm. The thickness of the colored tape varies depending on the color of the colored film 32.

[0028] The adhesive strength of the adhesive layer 31 is adjusted to be stronger than a sticky note but weaker than correction tape. The adhesives used in correction tapes are generally acrylic or rubber-based adhesives, which adhere firmly to the surface and have the characteristic of being able to withstand long-term use, but the adhesive of this adhesive layer 31 has been adjusted in terms of material and composition so as to be easy to peel off and flexible. Furthermore, if the amount of adhesive is too small, the colored tape will not adhere well to the paper, and if there is too much, it will be difficult to erase with an eraser, so the amount is adjusted appropriately.

[0029] In addition, the main component of the correction film of a typical correction tape is a white pigment (titanium oxide), but the main component of the colored film 32 of this line marker is, for example, a fluorescent powder pigment, which allows the tape to have a bright color.

[0030] [Unit configuration: Figures 1-4] Next, the configuration of the unit portion will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the unit part A basically includes a tape reel 4a, a marker tape 30a, a blade part 6a, and a take-up reel 7a. Similarly, the unit part B basically includes a tape reel 4b, a marker tape 30b, a blade part 6b, and a take-up reel 7b. As mentioned above, unit part A and unit part B have the same configuration except for the color of the marker tape 30, so in parts where it is not necessary to distinguish between unit part A and unit part B, the lowercase English suffixes will be omitted.

[0031] The tape reels 4 (4a, 4b) are reels on which the marker tape 30 before use is wound around a core. As described above, the marker tape 30 (30a, 30b) is a tape having a three-layer structure.

[0032] When the marker tape 30 is discharged with the back side pressed against the paper surface, the blade portion 6 (6a, 6b) peels off the colored tape (colored film 32 and adhesive layer 31) portion from the marker tape 30, attaches it to the paper surface, etc., and cuts the colored tape. The take-up reels 7 (7a, 7b) are reels that take up the base tape 33 after the colored tape has been peeled off by the blade portion 6.

[0033] 2, the tape reel 4a and the take-up reel 7a are connected to each other by a connecting belt 8a and rotate in unison. Similarly, the tape reel 4b and the take-up reel 7b are connected to each other by a connecting belt 8b and rotate in unison. This allows the marker tape 30 to be unwound and the base tape 33 to be wound and collected at the same pace, preventing the tape from sagging or being pulled.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1, in unit part A, the marker tape 30a is pulled out from the tape reel 4a and discharged from the discharge opening 5a, and is pressed against the paper surface by the blade part 6a, where the colored tape is peeled off and cut, and the base tape 33a is wound onto the take-up reel 7a. The same is true for the unit part B, but in FIGS. 1 to 4, the marker tape 30b and the base tape 33b are omitted from the illustration.

[0035] [Case configuration: Figures 1-4] The case constitutes the exterior of the main body 1 and is made of a transparent hard plastic or the like that is resistant to deformation, and serves as a container for housing the unit parts. The case is a hollow stick shape with outlets 5 (5a, 5b) at both ends. The outlets 5 are openings that discharge the marker tape 30 to the outside of the case 1. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the case is roughly trapezoidal, making it easy to hold like a pen.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 4, the upper surface of unit part A and unit part B has a plurality of anti-slip portions 11 formed of convex straight lines perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the case. The anti-slip portion 11 prevents the finger from slipping toward the tip of the case even if force is applied when drawing the colored line.

[0037] [Cap 2 configuration: Figure 5] Next, the configuration of the cap 2 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a front view of the cap. As shown in FIG. 5, the cap 2 is a lid that covers the tip of the case 1, and is formed of semi-transparent soft plastic or the like in a substantially trapezoidal shape. The cap 2 protects the blade portion 6 protruding from the tip of the case, preventing damage.

[0038] [Effects of the embodiment] According to this line marker, the tape-type line marker has a case equipped with marker tape 30, which is a translucent colored tape with an adhesive backing and has a base tape 33 attached thereon, tape reel 4 around which the marker tape 30 is wound, outlet 5 from which the marker tape 4 is discharged, and when the marker tape 30 is pressed against paper and discharged from outlet 5, a blade section 6 which peels the colored tape from the base tape 33 and pastes its backing and cuts the colored tape, and a take-up reel 7 which takes up the base tape 33 from which the colored tape has been peeled off, and the pasted colored tape can be easily erased with an eraser, so that, for example, by erasing a place in a reference book that has been marked and memorized, and then remarking a different place, the same reference book can be used repeatedly to memorize different things, which has the effect of improving convenience.

[0039] Furthermore, according to this line marker, the marker tape 30 has a three-layer structure with an adhesive layer 31, a colored film 32, and a base tape 33, and the thickness of the colored tape including the adhesive layer 31 and the colored film 32 combined is thin, at approximately 8 μm to 20 μm, which has the effect of making it easy to erase the marked line without damaging the paper when rubbing it with an eraser. [Industrial Applicability]
