Patent number: 6675856Abstract: In a coating film transfer tool, a tape is unwound from a supply reel, fed over a transfer head, and wound onto a take-up reel driven from the supply reel by a drive mechanism having slippage. Instead of setting the average slipping torque at a high value, or minimizing its variations, to prevent it from falling below the winding threshold, the initial slipping ratio is set at a value of at least 34%. This avoids slackening of the tape without the need for close manufacturing tolerances or lubricants, and without causing a condition in which excessive force is required to wind the tape onto a take-up reel in the later stages of the tool's useful life.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2001Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: Fujicopian Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hiroshi Kozaki

Patent number: 6453969Abstract: The invention relates to a reel assembly for a tape dispenser that includes a supply reel and a take-up reel. The reel assembly incorporates a clutch in the form of a viscous material disposed between a portion of the supply reel and a portion of the take-up reel. The viscous material serves to couple and provide controlled drag between the supply reel and take-up reel in order to properly tension a correction tape as it is dispensed from a correction tape dispenser. The invention also relates to a tape dispenser that utilizes a reel assembly having a viscous clutch and a tape cartridge. The reel assembly is preferably used in a correction tape dispenser for applying a correction film to a substrate.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2000Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: BIC CorporationInventor: Daniel A. Ferrara

Patent number: 6435248Abstract: An applicator for transferring a transfer material like a correction paint or paste from a transfer tape to a substate surface comprises an elastic tongue piece 8 having a tip 8′ as part of a transfer head 7. The tip 8′ has a curved discharge or downstream surface 10 whose radius of curvature is between 0.75 and 1.5 mm and a curved transfer or upstream surface 11 whose radius of curvature is between 1.5 and 2.5 mm. Both of these curved surfaces 10 and 11 are connected with each other to provide a large transferring surface 12 which ensures that the transfer material can properly be transferred onto a substrate surface over a wide range and that the transfer tape can pass the tip in a smooth and continuous manner.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Tombow Pencil Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hiroaki Masumoto

Publication number: 20020096597Abstract: A device for holding and dispensing moistened tissue from a roll includes a housing having a cylindrical wall and opposite end walls. At least one of the opposite end walls is removable to allow placement of the tissue roll in the housing. The cylindrical wall, extending between the opposite end walls, includes an access opening with a hinged door which moves between a normally closed position and an open position to facilitate removal of individual sheets of the moistened tissue from the roll. An air tight seal protectively encapsulates the roll within the housing when the door is closed in order to prevent drying of the moistened tissue. A tubular dowel, integral with an inside face of one of the end walls, extends axially through an interior of the housing for rotatably supporting the roll of tissue thereon. Pegs extending outwardly from the opposite end walls fit within congruently configured recesses of a holder for securing the housing to the holder.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2001Publication date: July 25, 2002Inventor: Olufemi Adelakun

Patent number: 6422284Abstract: The invention relates to a device for transferring to a surface correcting material supplied on a tape-like carrier, provided with a housing comprising a rotatable supply reel for the carrier with the correcting material, a rotatable take-up reel for the carrier after transfer of the material, a transfer member for placing on the surface and along which the carrier with the material is guided, and displaceable means for covering the transfer member. Inadvertent transfer of material when the device is not in use is hereby prevented. The covering means is operable by an operating member which protrudes out of a wall of the housing. The covering means can comprise a displaceable slide, which can take an at least partially flexible form.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2000Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: Henkel KGaAInventors: Johannus Hubertus Jozef Maria Kelders, Roy Edwin Van Swieten

Patent number: 6418997Abstract: In a refill type coat film transfer tool for use in horizontal drawing, a small, simple and inexpensive tape cartridge is presented, in which the coat film transfer tape can be replaced easily, quickly and securely, and it can be held and used like a writing tool corresponding to the manner of holding a writing tool by the user. On a support board, a rotatable feed reel winding a coat film transfer tape thereon, a rotatable take-up reel for recovering the coat film transfer tape after use, and a coat film transfer head for pressing the coat film transfer tape to a transfer area are provided. The support board rotatably supports the opposite side ends of the rotary shafts of both reels detachably and rotatably supported on the rotary support shafts of the case of the coat film transfer tool, and the coat film transfer head is supported on the head holding portion of the support board rotatably about the head axial center.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1999Date of Patent: July 16, 2002Assignee: Seed Rubber Company LimitedInventors: Shigeru Tamai, Kouhei Koyama, Masatoshi Shintani

Patent number: 6398619Abstract: A party streamer dispenser for decorating a room. The dispenser includes a body which holds a roll of crepe paper, a roll of adhesive tape, and an adjustable handle that selectively attaches to an elongated pole. The body comprises a cap and a frame that are disposed and compressed against opposite sides of the roll of crepe paper. A threaded bolt extends transversely between the cap and frame and through the center bore on the roll of crepe paper. Integrally formed on the frame is a laterally extending neck around which a roll of adhesive tape is placed. Extending laterally from the distal end of the neck is an extension. During assembly, an end cap is pivotally attached to the lateral extension. An elongated pole may be placed into the end cap so that the user may use the elongated pole to elevate the dispenser to a desired elevated location in the room.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2000Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Inventor: Walter L. Webb
