  • Patent number: 7819164
    Abstract: To provide a transfer tool which realizes both of a mode of transferring a transferring object of any dimension and a mode of continuously transferring the transferring object by a certain dimension, there is provided an operating part (7) which functions as a feeding mechanism (X) for feeding a paper (P) by a certain dimension in a counter-transfer direction by rotating an auxiliary roller (R1) in a use state (O) and a switching mechanism (Z) for selectively switching a feeding state (x) by the action by the feeding mechanism (X) and a normal use state (y) where the feeding state (x) is released still in the use state (O).
