[0001] The present invention relates to a film transfer tool, particularly a film transfer tool used for correction tapes, fluorescent tapes, and further double-sided tapes.

Background Art

[0002] In order to enable the user to apply force and move the film transfer tool, conventional film transfer tools mainly adopt a hard shell as an exterior. According to this, the user can hold the film transfer tool by hand, apply pressure to the hard shell, and move the film transfer tool by moving the arm, thereby transferring the film onto the paper.

[0003] Taiwan Design Patent No. 534736 and Taiwan Utility Model Patent No. M276701 form the film transfer tool into a curved shape in order to smoothly transfer the film of the film transfer tool within a specific angular range as shown in FIG. 9. However, such a design has problems such as being difficult to hold.

[0004] Furthermore, when the user uses the film transfer tool, in order to smoothly transfer the film onto the paper, it is necessary to move the film transfer tool with the forearm while applying a strong force to the film transfer tool and move it over a large distance, so there is a problem of being easily fatigued.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and by proposing a better improvement measure, it solves the problems that should be urgently solved in the industry.

Summary of the Invention

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a film transfer tool that solves the conventional problems such as the need to move the film transfer tool with the forearm over a large distance and being easily fatigued when the user uses the film transfer tool to smoothly transfer the film onto the paper. <000******24>

[0007] To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a film transfer tool as described below. A transfer assembly for transferring the film, A case comprising a first covering material in which the transfer assembly is provided, the first covering material having a first end from which the transfer assembly protrudes and a second end which is the other end opposite to the first end, A film transfer tool characterized by having a curved segment that is flexibly connected to the second end of the first covering material and is flexibly bendable relative to the first end of the first covering material.

[0008] The film transfer tool is characterized in that the curved segment is provided at the end of the curved segment closest to the first coating material so as to curve relative to the first end of the first coating material, and has a plurality of recessed grooves that penetrate two opposing surfaces of the curved segment.

[0009] The film transfer tool is characterized in that the case has a second coating material connected to the first coating material via the curved segment.

[0010] The curved segment, A first connecting portion provided within the first covering material, A second connecting portion provided within the second covering material, The film transfer tool is characterized by having a curved portion that is flexibly provided between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

[0011] The second covering material is provided on the inner surface of the second covering material and has at least one projection that protrudes toward the central axis of the second covering material, The curved segment has at least one recessed hole, The film transfer tool is characterized in that at least one recess is formed on the outer surface of the curved segment, and each of the at least one protrusion is capable of engaging with the at least one recess.

[0012] The first covering material has at least one projection provided on its inner surface and projecting toward the central axis of the first covering material, The curved segment has at least one recessed hole, The film transfer tool is characterized in that at least one recess is formed on the outer surface of the curved segment, and each of the at least one protrusion is capable of engaging with the at least one recess.

[0013] The first covering material has at least one projection provided on its inner surface and projecting toward the central axis of the first covering material, The film transfer tool is characterized in that at least one protruding portion of each of the first coating material and the second coating material is capable of engaging with at least one recessed hole.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the film transfer tool of the present invention has a transfer assembly 10, a case 20, a curved segment 30, and a clip 40, but in other embodiments, the clip 40 may not be provided.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the first embodiment, the transfer assembly 10 transfers the film, and the case 20 has a first covering material 21 and a second covering material 22. Further, the transfer assembly 10 is provided in the first covering material 21. The first covering material 21 has a first end 211, a second end 212, and a protrusion 213. The first end 211 and the second end 212 are opposite ends of the first covering material 21, and the transfer assembly 10 protrudes from the first end 211 of the first covering material 21. In this embodiment, the protrusion 213 is provided on the inner surface of the first covering material 21, and the second end 212 located in the first covering material 21 protrudes toward the central axis of the first covering material 21. The second covering material 22 is connected to the first covering material 21 and has at least one protrusion 221. The protrusion 221 is provided on the inner surface of the second covering material 22 and is located at an end of the second covering material 22 close to the first covering material 21, and protrudes toward the central axis of the second covering material 22.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 3, the curved segment 30 is connected between the first covering material 21 and the second covering material 22 in a bendable manner, enabling the second covering material 22 to be bendable with respect to the first covering material 21. That is, the second covering material 22 is connected to the first covering material 21 via the curved segment 30. In this embodiment, the curved segment 30 has a first connecting portion 31, a second connecting portion 32, a curved portion 33, and at least one concave hole 34.

[0020] The first connecting portion 31 is provided within the first covering material 21, and the second connecting portion 32 is provided within the second covering material 22. However, in other embodiments, the first connecting portion 31 may cover the first covering material 21, and the second connecting portion 32 may cover the second covering material 22. The curved segment 30 is connected between the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 in a bendable manner. In terms of the tool body, in this embodiment, since the curved segment 30 is made of a flexible material, the user can change the angle formed between the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 by applying force to the curved segment 30 to bend it. The concave hole 34 is formed on the outer surface of the curved segment 30, in terms of the tool body, on the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32, and each of the protruding portion 213 and the protruding portion 221 can be engaged with one of the concave holes 34, whereby the curved segment 30 can be engaged with the first covering material 21 and the second covering material 22.

[0021] One end of the clip 40 is connected to the end of the second covering material 22 far from the curved segment 30, extends toward the curved segment 30, and a gap is formed between it and the second covering material 22. Thus, the user can sandwich the paper in the gap between the clip 40 and the second covering material 22.

[0022] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the technical features of the second embodiment of the present invention are similar to those of the first embodiment, but the difference between the two is that "in the second embodiment, the case 20A of the film transfer tool has only the first covering material 21A and does not have the second covering material 22, and the curved segment 30A is provided on the first covering material 21A." In the second embodiment, since the curved segment 30A is made of a bendable material, it is bendable relative to the first end 211A of the first covering material 21A, and the case 20A and the curved segment 30A are screwed together, but are not limited to this, and in other embodiments, they may be joined by adhesive or integrally molded.

[0023] The technical features of the third embodiment of the present invention are similar to those of the second embodiment, but the difference between the two is that "the third embodiment further has a plurality of recessed grooves 35 provided at the end of the curved segment 30B near the first covering material 21B, and penetrating two opposing surfaces of the curved segment 30." Since the curved segment 30B is made of a flexible and bendable material, the structural strength around its recessed grooves 35 is low. Therefore, when subjected to external force, the user deforms the recessed grooves 35 of the curved segment 30B, causing the curved segment 30B to bend relative to the first end 211 of the first covering material 21.

[0024] Taking the first embodiment as an example, when using the present invention, the user applies the film on the transfer assembly 10 to the paper by bringing the portion of the first coating material 21 of the transfer assembly 10 that protrudes from the first end 211 into contact with the paper and moving the film transfer tool of the present invention with the forearm while maintaining a specific angular range.

[0025] Furthermore, the user can fix their forearm and operate the device using only their wrist. In other words, as shown in Figure 7, the user applies the film on the transfer assembly 10 to the paper by pulling the film transfer tool of the present invention. However, if the user pulls the film transfer tool to a specific first length L1 without moving their forearm, the range of motion of the wrist is restricted, and the angle between the transfer assembly 10 and the paper becomes larger, making it impossible to maintain it within a specific angular range. As shown in Figure 8, at this time, the user applies force to the curved segment 30, or places their thumb on the first covering material 21 and presses the second covering material 22 between their index finger and thumb, causing the second covering material 22 to curve relative to the first covering material 21. At this time, the first covering material 21 is pressed against the paper and maintained within a specific angular range, so by rotating the wrist, the film transfer tool can continue to apply the film on the transfer assembly 10 to the paper, allowing the second length L2 to be pulled further. In other words, even when the user pulls the film transfer tool without moving their forearm, they can still pull it over the distances of the first length L1 and the second length L2.

[0026] Thus, the advantage of the present invention is that by providing the film transfer tool with a curved segment 30 that can be bent relative to the first end 211 of the first covering material 21, the transfer assembly 10 within the first covering material 21 and the paper are maintained at a specific angle. As a result, the user can extend the distance the film transfer tool can be moved simply by pulling the tool without moving their forearm, thereby reducing user fatigue and making operation easier. Furthermore, since the distance that can be pulled at once without moving the forearm is increased, it becomes unnecessary to readjust the position of the arm when performing long-distance film transfers, thus preventing the film from being interrupted and avoiding damage to the aesthetics.
