Abstract: A device for transferring film coating to a substrate with a carrier tape, the device having an applicator foot with at least one recess on the side facing the substrate during application of the coating to substrate.

Abstract: A device for transferring a film from a carrier strip onto a substrate such as a sheet of writing or drawing paper comprises a housing in which a supply reel and an empty reel are arranged. The film-coated carrier strip is guided over an applicator foot which is looped around by the carrier strip with a clip-type slide element of a friction-reducing material secured to the applicator foot. The applicator foot comprises a pivotally hinged extension arm having an end in the end portion for receiving a profile member for the slide element.

Abstract: Multi-layer flexible transfer tapes are provided which are useful for covering printing or typing errors in texts or drawings so that corrections may be made. The transfer tapes are characterized by the inclusion of two binder-containing pigmented transfer layers, wherein one transfer layer is cationic and the other transfer layer is anionic.

Abstract: A device for transferring a film from a carrier strip a substrate comprises a supply reel for the film coated carrier strip and an empty reel for receiving the de-coated carrier strip. The carrier strip is guided over an applicator base and over deflector rollers. The effective working edge of applicator base is arranged to be inclined at a fixed angle between 40° and 50° relative to the reel axes.

Abstract: A flexible, multilayered transfer tape is described which contains an auxiliary support, a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive and a binder containing a white-pigmented transfer layer having greater adhesion to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer than to the auxiliary support. The transfer layer, which contains a binder in addition to a white pigment, is present between the auxiliary support and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The transfer tape is characterized in that a non-white pigment is present in finely dispersed form in either or both of a polymer-bonded interlayer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The polymer-bonded interlayer may be situated between the white-pigmented transfer layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer or in the white-pigmented transfer layer itself. Such transfer tapes have significantly improved covering capacity as compared to transfer tapes in which only the white-pigmented transfer layer is tinted.

Abstract: In a friction coupling for the torque-limiting transmission of force between a core of a coil for winding or unwinding a tape and a rotary support for said core there is a first coupling component with an annular cross-section and a second coupling component taking the form of a moulding, in which the annular coupling component is in frictional engagement at several spaced contact points distributed over its periphery with contact area regions on the moulding, and in which one of the two coupling components is secured to the core of the coil, and the other coupling component is a component of the rotary support. The moulding is rigidly dimensionally stable while the annular first coupling component is made of a flexible material. On the occurrence of a relative movement between the two coupling components, the moulding continually deforms the annual coupling component via the contact points.

Abstract: A hand-held device for transferring a film from a carrier tape to a substrate includes an applicator with an end projecting from a housing around which the carrier tape coming from a supply roll is guided to a take-up spool and on which contact surfaces are provided for the "pull" and "push" operating modes of the device, the carrier tape being pressed against the substrate by the contact surfaces for the purpose of transferring the film. The applicator contains two application toes which are separated from one another by an empty space and each of which carries one of the two contact surfaces.

Abstract: In a gear arrangement for driving the spool core (11) of a take-up spool for a transfer tape (5) through the spool core (3) of a feed spool arranged laterally of and radially offset from the take-up spool in the housing (2) of a transfer dispenser or in a refill cassette (1) for a transfer dispenser, comprising a first gearwheel (28) which is driven by the feed spool and which meshes with a second gearwheel (26,27) designed to drive the take-up spool (11), the pitch diameter of the second gearwheel (27) being smaller than that of the first gearwheel (28), a slipping clutch (16) being provided between the spool core (11) of one of the two spools and the associated gearwheel (27) and a radially projecting annular disc (13;14) being disposed on each spool core (3;11) and its side facing the other spool, the two spool cores (3,11) bear partly against one another through their mutually opposite annular discs (13,14).

Abstract: Described is a multi-layer, flexible transfer tape with a backing and an adhesive layer, wherein between the backing and adhesive layer a bonding agent-containing transfer layer is provided, which adheres more strongly to the adhesive layer than to the backing. With this a) the bonding agent-containing transfer layer and/or b) the adhesive layer contains fine hollow particles and a water-soluble, solid alcohol. Furthermore the invention relates to a suitable process for producing such a transfer tape as well as to special application possibilities of same, in particular in rolled-up form in a hand apparatus. In particular, when used it leads to a transferred layer in which fractures, in particular micro-cracks, are excluded, and in an improvement of the initial adhesion when the transfer tape is used again after it has been stored for a long time.

Abstract: An applicator for a film carried on a tape has a housing having a main part and a cover part that normally fit complementarily together. A supply spool on which the tape carrying the film is wound is rotatable in the main housing part. A takeup spool onto which the tape is wound is rotatable in the main housing part adjacent the supply spool. A slide is displaceable longitudinally in the housing between a retracted inner end position relatively close to the spools and an extended outer end position relatively far from the spools and projecting from the housing. The tape is spanned over an applicator foot fixed on and displaceable with the slide. Structure on the housing releasably retains the foot and slide in the front extended position. The spools can be replaced by removing the housing cover part and then pushing the foot back into the inner end position, thereby taking all tension off the tape. The two spools are then removed and a new set of spools joined by a new tape are set in place.

Abstract: A cartridge for a film applicator has a body having parallel and spaced upper and lower end walls formed with respective upper and lower coaxial holes, a supply spool having a core ring and sandwiched between the end walls coaxial with the holes, a takeup spool, and holding formations on the body releasably securing the takeup spool underneath the lower end wall coaxial with the holes and supply spool so that the spools axially flank the lower end wall. A guide extends parallel to the hole axis through the lower wall and the guide, supply spool, and body are made of substantially the same material. A supply of tape has an outer end fixed to the takeup spool and an inner end and forms a loop having an upper leg engaging the guide between the end walls and a lower leg engaging the guide below the lower end wall The inner end of the tape is releasably secured to the supply spool so it can be separated therefrom with very little force, and a pair of spaced arms unitarily formed with the body hold the loop.

Abstract: A dispenser for a tape having a sticky side has a housing adapted to hold a supply of the tape and a roller rotatable on the housing about an axis and having a mainly cylindrical outer surface projecting radially past the housing. The tape passes partially around the roller with its sticky side turned radially away from the roller and engaging a central portion of the roller surface so that the tape can be pressed by the roller against a substrate to adhere the tape to the substrate and to inwardly deflect the central portion of the roller surface. Elements axially flanking the roller permit deflection of the roller surface in contact with the tape inward until the elements contact the surface and prevent further inward deflection of the central portion of the roller surface even if the elements are pressed with greater force against the substrate.
