  • Publication number: 20150321869
    Abstract: A transfer tool is provided with a grip member which can be gripped so that its axis is perpendicular to a transfer target surface or is inclined toward a direction of movement during transfer, a rotor which is held in the grip member and is able to rotate around the axis, and a transfer head which is held on the rotor with a transfer end deviated from the axis in a direction opposite to the direction of movement during transfer. The transfer tool is configured so that the transfer head can flexibly track the transfer target surface.
