Abstract:
1. A combination coating film transfer tool and writing implement comprising: a coating film transfer tool having a supply of transfer tape comprising a coating film on a base material, a transfer head for pressing said transfer tape against a receiving surface to effect transfer of said coating film onto said receiving surface, and a take-up for receiving said base material after said coating film is transferred therefrom, said base material extending from said supply, and past said transfer head to said take-up; a writing implement; and a coupling structure for removably coupling said coating film transfer tool to said writing implement; wherein said coupling structure comprises a first coupling element on said writing implement, and second and third coupling elements on said transfer tool, the second and third coupling elements being alternatively connectible to said first coupling element, the writing implement including a protective housing arranged to receive said transfer head and to prevent said coating film from contacting surfaces external to said housing when said first and second coupling elements are connected to each other, and wherein said transfer head is external to said housing and positioned to be capable of pressing said transfer tape against a receiving surface, when said first and third coupling elements are connected to each other.
