a transfer head pivotable with respect to the housing or an accommodating member accommodated in the housing, and
a shaft portion pivotally connecting the transfer head to the housing or the accommodating member, the shaft portion having a long axis oriented in a front-rear direction, such that the transfer head is pivotable about the long axis;
wherein:
the transfer head is provided with a main body portion held by the housing or the accommodating member and protruding from the housing or the accommodating member, a pressing portion provided at a front end of the main body portion, and a pair of tape guides disposed on right and left sides of the main body portion orthogonal to the front-rear direction,
the pair of tape guides respectively have lower side tape guides disposed on a side of the main body portion where the transfer tape passes before the coating film transfer and upper side tape guides disposed on a side of the main body portion where the transfer tape passes after the coating film transfer,
an interval between front ends of the pair of upper side tape guides is wider than a narrowest interval where the lower side tape guides correspond to a tape path, and
