Title: Transfer tool and transfer film remover

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      1. Field of the Invention  
      The present invention relates to a transfer tool and a transfer film remover, and more particularly to a transfer film removing technology for abrading and removing a transfer film once transferred on a sheet of paper or the like, in a transfer tool for transferring a coat film, transfer mark or other transfer film formed on a transfer tape onto a sheet of paper or the like.  
      2. Description of the Related Art  
      In this kind of transfer tool, generally, a transfer head is projected outward from an insert opening at the leading end of a case, and a transfer tape is paid off from a payoff reel installed in the case, and taken up and collected on a take-up reel in the case again by way of the leading end pressing part of the transfer head, and the case further incorporates a gear mechanism and an interlock mechanism for rotating the payoff reel and take-up reel in cooperation, and a clutch mechanism for synchronizing the payoff speed and take-up speed of the transfer tape between the payoff reel and take-up reel (see, for example, Japanese Laid-open Patent No. H9-104562).  
      As shown in  FIG. 11 , a case  2  of a transfer tool  1  is gripped by fingers, and a leading end pressing part  4   a  of a transfer head  4  is pressed tightly on a transfer area  11 , and the case  2  is moved along the surface of the transfer area  11  in this state, and stopped. As a result, a transfer film  10  on a transfer tape  3  paid off from a payoff reel (not shown) in the case  2  is transferred on the transfer area  11  by the transfer head  4 , and the used transfer tape  3  is taken up and collected on a take-up reel (not shown) in the case  2 .  
      It may be sometimes desired to remove the transfer film  10  once transferred on the transfer area  11  by the transfer tool  1 .  
      In such a case, hitherto, no special remover has been known, and it is removed by using an ordinary eraser or cutter knife, but it is not convenient to carry such eraser always together with the transfer tool, or it may be dropped or lost.  
      The transfer film  10  is available in various forms, including correction coat film for covering and concealing letters, marker coat film for emphasizing letters, adhesive coat film used as adhesive, other coat films, and thin film transfer mark of letters, symbols, graphic patterns or their combination, and constituent materials for such transfer films  10  are also varied.  
      Accordingly, if the transfer film  10  is abraded by an ordinary eraser, the transfer film  10  may not be easily removed (abrasive removal), or if removed, the surface of the transfer area  11  such as sheet of paper may be scratched or stained. The latter inconvenience is also caused by cutter knife.  
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
      It is hence a primary object of the invention to present a novel transfer film remover solving the problems of the prior art.  
      It is other object of the invention to present a transfer film remover capable of abrading and removing various transfer films once transferred on the sheet of paper by the transfer tool easily and securely without scratching or staining the sheet of paper.  
      It is another object of the invention to present a transfer tool comprising such transfer film remover.  
      The transfer tool of the invention is a transfer tool for transferring coat film or transfer mark on transfer tape on a sheet of paper, comprising at least a hand-held case to be manipulated by one hand, a payoff reel rotatably installed in the case and winding a transfer tape so as to be paid off, and a transfer head disposed at the leading end of the case for pressing and transferring the transfer tape paid off from the payoff reel onto a transfer area, in which a transfer film remover is provided in part of the case for abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on a sheet of paper.  
      A preferred embodiment is for transferring coat film or transfer mark on transfer tape on a sheet of paper, comprising the hand-held case to be manipulated by one hand, the payoff reel rotatably installed in the case and winding a transfer tape so as to be paid off, a take-up reel rotatably installed in the case for taking up and collecting the used transfer tape, an interlock mechanism for rotating the take-up reel and payoff reel mutually in cooperation, a transfer head disposed at the leading end of the case for pressing and transferring the transfer tape paid off from the payoff reel onto a transfer area, and a clutch mechanism for synchronizing the payoff speed and take-up speed of the transfer tape between the payoff reel and take-up reel, in which the transfer film remover is provided in part of the case for abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on a sheet of paper.  
      The position of the case comprising the transfer film remover is ergonomically set at a position proper for holding and manipulating by a hand when abrading and removing the by pressing this transfer film remover to the transfer film transferred on a sheet of paper or the like. The transfer film remover has an appearance and shape having a corner of shape and dimension capable of abrading and removing a specific part of the transfer film in its part.  
      The constitution of the transfer film remover of the invention is intended to abrade and remove the transfer film transferred on a sheet of paper by the transfer tool, and it is composed of a material small in wear when abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on the sheet of paper, and specifically it is composed of a material not worn substantially at least within the life span of the transfer tool, or a material not changed in surface properties substantially at least within the life span of the transfer tool.  
      In a preferred embodiment, the transfer film remover includes at least one of resin component and rubber component.  
      As the resin component, thermoplastic elastomer is preferably used, and the thermoplastic elastomer includes at least one of styrene derivative thermoplastic elastomer and olefin derivative elastomer.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
      Preferred embodiments of the invention are described below while referring to the accompanying drawings.  
       FIG. 1  to  FIG. 10  show the transfer tool and transfer film remover of the invention, and same reference numerals throughout the drawings indicate same constituent members or elements.  
     Preferred Embodiment 1  
      The transfer tool of the invention is shown in  FIG. 1A  and  FIG. 1B , and this transfer tool  1  is specifically a transfer tool for transferring a coat film, transfer mark or other transfer film on a transfer tape on a sheet of paper, and in the illustrated example it is used as an eraser for correcting a wrong letter or the like.  
      The eraser  1  is a disposable type of which components including the transfer tape are all consumable, and its basic structure is known. That is, although not specifically shown in the drawing, the eraser  1  comprises principal components such as a payoff reel winding a transfer tape  3  to be paid off, a take-up reel for taking up and collecting the used transfer tape, an interlock mechanism for rotating these reels mutually in cooperation, a transfer head  4  for pressing and transferring the transfer tape  3  on a transfer area, and a clutch mechanism for synchronizing the payoff speed and take-up speed of the transfer tape  3  of the two reels, which are provided in a case  2  having an appearance and shape as shown in the drawing, and a transfer film remover  5  for abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on a sheet of paper or the like is provided also in part of the case  2 .  
      The case  2  can be held and manipulated by one hand, and is a flat box, as shown in the drawing, having front contour shape and dimension and width dimension enough to incorporate constituent parts such as the payoff reel and take-up reel, and a pair of flat mutually confronting face and back sides  2   a ,  2   b  are standard gripping sides when held and manipulated by hand.  
      This case  2  is a integral plastic structure formed by injection molding, and is composed of a case main body  6  and a cap body  7  in split structure, and a head insertion opening  8  inserting inside and outside of the transfer head  4  is formed at the leading end of the case  2 .  
      The transfer tape  3  has a conventionally known laminate structure, and specifically, on one side of a film base tape, a peelant layer, a correction paint layer, and an adhesive (pressure sensitive adhesive) layer having pressure adhesiveness are sequentially laminated, and the correction paint layer and adhesive layer form a correction coat film  10  (see  FIG. 11 ) as transfer film.  
      The transfer tape  3  paid off from the payoff reel in the case  2  is guided to a leading end pressing part  4   a  along the tape running surface at one side of the transfer head  4 , and is inverted after the leading end pressing part  4   a , and is further guided along the tape running surface at the opposite side, and is taken up on the take-up reel in the case  2 .  
      A transfer film remover  5  is intended to abrade and remove the correction coat film (transfer film)  10  once transferred to the sheet of paper, and it is made of a material small in wear when abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on the sheet of paper.  
      In other words, the transfer film remover  5  is composed of a material having an abrasive removal mechanism, as schematically shown in  FIG. 2A , for pressing and abrading off (abrading and removing) the correction coat film  10  transferred on the transfer area  11  of sheet of paper by the coat film remover  5  by scraping off only the correction coat film  10  from the surface of the transfer area  11 , leaving only the scraped coat film waste  10   a , while the transfer film remover  5  is not substantially worn. In this case, too, by the abrasive removal motion of the transfer film remover  5 , it is required to have a certain elasticity so that the surface of the transfer area  11  may not be scratched.  
      Such required conditions of the coat film transfer remover  5  are mainly based on the following reasons.  
      (a) The correction coat film (transfer film)  10  can be abraded and removed easily and securely without scratching or staining the surface of the transfer area  11  or the sheet of paper.  
      (b) Considering that the transfer film remover  5  forms part of the appearance of the transfer tool  1 , the transfer film remover  5  is not worn throughout the life span of the transfer tool  1  (the life of the transfer tape  3  in the disposable type as in this preferred embodiment), and the appearance of the transfer tool  1  is not impaired by wear or deformation of the transfer film remover  5 . Specifically, the transfer film remover  5  is substantially free from wear at least within the life span of the transfer tool  1 , or at least there is no change in surface properties substantially within the life span of the transfer tool.  
      On the other hand, in an ordinary eraser, for example, in an abrasive removal mechanism of letter written by pencil by a plastic eraser, as schematically shown in  FIG. 2B , a letter  13  written by a pencil on a sheet of paper  12  is pressed and scraped (abraded and removed) by a plastic eraser  15 , and then pencil lead materials  13   a ,  13   a , . . . composing the letter  13  scraped off from the sheet of paper  12 , and worn waste  15   a  from the plastic eraser  15  are mixed, and erasing waste  16  is produced.  
      The constituent material of the transfer film remover  5  contains at least one of resin component and rubber component.  
      As the resin component, thermoplastic elastomer is preferred, and especially styrene derivative and olefin derivative thermoplastic elastomers are preferably used, and they can be used either alone or in combination of two or more type, and in particular styrene derivative thermoplastic elastomer is preferred.  
      A general composition of thermoplastic elastomer comprises a soft layer (soft segment) and hard layer (hard segment). The soft layer and hard layer are combined to produce an original rubber elasticity of thermoplastic elastomer, and in the molding process, the hard layer is fused and plasticized to express a molding processability, and is cured after molding, thereby expressing a mechanism of restraint component for preventing plastic deformation.  
      Examples of styrene derivative thermoplastic elastomer include styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer, styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer, styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene copolymer, styrene-ethylene propylene-styrene copolymer, styrene-ethylene ethylene propylene-styrene copolymer, and styrene derivative thermoplastic elastomer compound, which may be used either alone or in combination of two or more kinds. Examples of commercial products of styrene derivative thermoplastic elastomer are listed below.  
      The styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer includes Tuffprene (A, 125, 126, etc.) and Asaprene T (411, 414, 475, etc. (both of Asahi Chemical), and CraytonD (1101, 1102, etc.) (of Crayton Polymer Japan).  
      The styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer includes Crayton D (1107, 1111, etc.) (of Crayton Polymer Japan).  
      The styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene copolymer includes TufftechH (1031, 1041, etc.) (of AsahiChemical), Septon (8004, 8006, etc.) (of Kuraray), and Crayton G (1605, 1651, etc.) (of Crayton Polymer Japan).  
      The styrene-ethylene propylene-styrene copolymer includes Septon (2002, 2005, etc.) (of Kuraray), and Crayton G1730 (of Crayton Polymer Japan).  
      The styrene-ethylene ethylene propylene-styrene copolymer includes Septon 4033 (of Kuraray).  
      Examples of the olefin derivative elastomer include olefin derivative thermoplastic elastomer, ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, propylene-α-olefin copolymer, ethylene-α-olefin copolymer (metallocene catalyst), amorphous poly-α-olefin, high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, ultra-low density polyethylene, and polypropylene, which may be used either alone or in combination of two or more kinds.  
      Examples of commercial products of olefin derivative elastomer include Sumitomo TPE (820, 821, 5260, etc.) (of Sumitomo Chemical), Idemitsu. TPO (R110E, M142E, etc.) (of Idemitsu Oil), and Milastomer (5030, 8030, etc.) (of Mitsui Chemical).  
      The rubber component may include IIR (butyl rubber), IR (isoprene rubber), SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), BR (butadiene rubber), EPM (ethylene propylene rubber), EPDM (ethylene propylene terpolymer), ACM (acrylic rubber), polyisobutylene, and NR (natural rubber), which may be used either alone or in combination of two or more kinds.  
      The rubber component may also have a core-shell structure. The rubber component of core-shell structure has a structure composed of core portion and shell portion, and the core portion and shell portion differ in composition. By such core-shell structure of rubber component of polymer material, various merits are brought about, for example, (i) the glass transition temperature (Tg) can be controlled by combination of high Tg and low Tg materials, (ii) compatibility or adhesion to other material can be adjusted by varying the resin of the shell portion, and (iii) the viscoelasticity can be controlled by combination of high viscosity and low viscosity materials.  
      Examples of commercial products of rubber component are listed below.  
      The IIR (butyl rubber) includes Exxonbutyl (065, 268, etc.) (of Exxon Mobil), and Bayer butyl (100, 301, etc.) (of Bayer).  
      The IR includes JSR IR2200 (of JSR).  
      The SBR includes JSR (1500, 0202, SL552, etc.) (of JSR), and Nipol (1502, NS210, etc.) (of Zeon Japan).  
      The BR includes JSR (BR01, T700, etc.) (of JSR), and Nipol (BR220, BR1241, etc.) (of Zeon Japan).  
      The EPM includes JSR EP11 (of JSR).  
      The EPDM includes JSR EP21, EP24 (of JSR).

      Examples of the ACM as rubber component having core-shell structure include Paraclon (RP-101, RP-103, RP-301, RP-302, RP-303, PR-412) (of Negami Kogyo), and Parapet (GR-04940, GR-04970, GR-01240, GR-01270, G-1000, HR-L, SA-FW001, SA-FW101, SA-NW001, SA-NW2001, SA-CW001, SA-1000NP, SA-1000CP) (of Kuraray).  
      A specific constituent material for the transfer film remover  5  may include any one of the resin components and rubber components stated above, a mixed material of them, or a single material or mixed material blended with additives properly selected from known materials generally used as additives in plastic processing or rubber processing (for example, filler, softener, lubricant, stabilizer, aging retardant, coloring matter, etc.).  
      When the transfer film remover contains both resin component and rubber component, the ratio of resin component and rubber component by weight is preferred to be set in a range of 25:75 to 75:25.  
      The location of the transfer film remover  5  in the case  2  is ergonomically set at a position proper for holding and manipulating the case  2  by hand when abrading and removing by pressing this transfer film remover  5  to the correction coat film (transfer film)  10  transferred on the sheet of paper.  
      In other words, as in  FIG. 2A , when the transfer film remover  5  is pressed against the correction coat film  10  transferred on the transfer area  11  for abrading and removing, the user can grip the case  2  in natural position by the fingers of one hand, and the case  2  can be manipulated in abrasive removal operation without requiring extra effort.  
      The transfer film remover  5  in the illustrated preferred embodiment is provided integrally, projecting to both sides of the transfer head  4  projecting from the leading end of the case  2 , that is, sideward to the outer side of guide flanges  4   b ,  4   b  for guiding running of the transfer tape  3 , and same manipulation as in transfer manipulation of the transfer tape  3  is assured.  
      Since this transfer film remover  5  is formed simultaneously with the transfer head  4 , the transfer head  4  is also required to have a certain elasticity (such an elasticity as to allow elastic deformation in the pressing direction of the transfer tape  3  in pressing transfer action), and as far as the above condition is satisfied, the transfer head  4  and transfer film remover  5  may be made of a same constituent material. Thus, when the transfer head  4  and transfer film remover  5  are made of same material, the both can be formed integrally by injection molding.  
      The transfer film remover  5  is preferred to have a corner  5   a  in part of its appearance, and the transfer film remover  5  in the illustrated preferred embodiment is a truncated conical form, and the edge of the leading end forms a corner  5   a . The shape and size of the corner  5   a  may be set to such an extent as to abrade and remove a small part of the correction coat film  10 . By moving the transfer film remover  5  in a direction along the edge of the truncated conical form composing the corner  5   a , only a small part of the correction coat film  10  can be removed by abrading, and by moving the transfer film remover  5  in a direction intersecting the edge of the truncated conical form, a wide range or whole of the correction coat film  10  can be efficiently removed by abrading.  
      Thus, to correct a wrong letter by the transfer tool  1  having such structure, as shown in  FIG. 11 , the gripping faces  2   a ,  2   b  of the case  2  are held by fingers, and the leading end pressing part  4   a  of the transfer head  4  is tightly pressed on the transfer area  11  such as the sheet of paper, and by moving the case  2  in this state along the surface of the transfer area  11 , the correction coat film  10  of the transfer tape  3  at the leading end pressing part  4   a  of the transfer head  4  is peeled from the base tape and transferred on the correction area  11 , and the used transfer tape after the correction coat film  10  is peeled, that is, the bas tape is taken up and collected on the take-up reel in the case  2 .  
      When desired to remove the correction coat film  10  once transferred on the transfer area  11 , the correction coat film  10  is abraded and removed by using the transfer film remover  5  provided in the transfer head  4  of the case  2 .  
      In this case, since the transfer film remover  5  is provided integrally in the transfer head  4  of the case  2 , it is always furnished in the transfer tool  1  and is not dropped or lost.  
      Since the location of the case  2  comprising the transfer film remover  5  is ergonomically set at a position proper for holding and manipulating the case  2  by hand when abrading and removing by pressing this transfer film remover  5  to the correction coat film  10  transferred on the transfer area  11 , it is easy and secure to abrade and remove the correction coat film  10 .  
      The appearance of the transfer film remover  5  is a truncated conical form, having a corner  5   a  of proper shape and size for abrading and removing a small part of the correction coat film  10  in its part, and therefore not only the whole correction coat film  10  but also a small part of it can be abraded and removed.  
      Further, since the transfer film remover  5  is made of a material of less wear when abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on the sheet of paper, the correction coat film  10  once transferred on the transfer area  11  such as sheet of paper by the transfer tool  1  can be abraded and removed easily and securely without scratching or staining the sheet of paper.  
      Besides, since the transfer film remover  5  is made of a material of less wear, it is hardly worn throughout the life span of the transfer tool  1  itself, and the appearance of the transfer tool  1  is not spoiled.  
     Preferred Embodiment 2  
      This preferred embodiment is shown in  FIG. 3A  and  FIG. 3B , which is similar to preferred embodiment 1 except that the forming position of the transfer film remover  5  is modified.  
      That is, the transfer film remover  25  of the preferred embodiment is provided integrally on the leading end surface of the case  2 . Specifically, the transfer film remover  25  of the preferred embodiment is provided integrally, projecting to both sides of the leading end of the case  2 , that is, sideward to the gripping faces  2   a ,  2   b.    
      In such configuration, when pressing the transfer film remover  25  to the correction coat film  10  transferred on the sheet of paper for abrading and removing, the case  2  can be held and manipulated by hand ergonomically, and nearly same sense of manipulation is assured in transfer manipulation of the transfer tape  3 , same as experienced in preferred embodiment 1.  
      The outline shape of the transfer film remover  25  is same as in preferred embodiment 1, specifically a truncated conical form of asimilarform topreferred embodiment 1, and the leading end edge  25   a  forms a corner for abrading and removing a small part of the correction coat film  10 .  
      The other constitution and action are same as in preferred embodiment 1.  
     Preferred Embodiment 3  
      This preferred embodiment is shown in  FIG. 4A  and  FIG. 4B , which is similar to preferred embodiment 1 except that the forming position of the transfer film remover  5  is modified.  
      That is, the transfer film remover  35  of the preferred embodiment is formed like a rewind button for rewinding the transfer tape  3  provided opposite to the outside of the case  2 . Although not shown in the drawing, a tone end of rotary support shaft of payoff reel winding the transfer tape  3  provided in the case  2 , the transfer film remover  35  having a function of rewind button is integrally provided, and it projects oppositely to the outside from an insert hole  36  of the case  2 .  
      The outline shape of the transfer film remover  35  is same as in preferred embodiment 1, specifically a truncated conical form of a similar form to preferred embodiment 1, and aside from the property of rotation and manipulation as rewind button, the leading end edge  35   a  forms a corner for abrading and removing a small part of the correction coat film  10 .  
      The transfer film remover  35  is formed separately from the support shaft of the payoff reel, and is detachably engaged with the support shaft, but it may be made of same material as the support shaft and formed integrally as far as the required conditions as the constituent material for the transfer film remover mentioned above are satisfied.  
      In the transfer tool  1  having such structure, when pressing the transfer film remover  35  to the correction coat film  10  transferred on the sheet of paper for abrading and removing, by gripping a proper position of the case  2 , nearly same manipulation as in transfer and manipulation of the transfer tape  3  is assured.  
      The other constitution and action are same as in preferred embodiment 1.  
     Preferred Embodiment 4  
      This preferred embodiment is shown in  FIG. 5A  and  FIG. 5B , which is similar to preferred embodiment 1 except that the basic structure of the transfer tool  1  and structure of the transfer film remover  5  are modified.  
      That is, the transfer tool  1  of preferred embodiment 1 is a disposable type, while the transfer tool  41  of the preferred embodiment is a refill type, in which a cartridge at least comprising the payoff reel and take-up reel is detachably provided in the case  2  so as to be exchanged, and the transfer tape  3  can be exchanged, and accordingly, a transfer film remover  45  for abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on the sheet of paper is formed as a case component member for composing a part of the case  2 .  
      The transfer film remover  45  is specifically composed as shown in  FIG. 5A , in which part of the outside of the case  2  is formed as fixing member is for assembling and fixing the case main body  6  and cap body  7  as component members of the case  2 , and is detachable from the case  2 .  
      That is, as shown in  FIG. 5B , joining parts  46 ,  47  of the case main body  6  and cap body  7  are closely engaged with each other, and a dovetail section is formed, and an engaging groove  48  formed in the bottom of the transfer film remover  45  is formed as dovetail groove.  
      By sliding and fixing the transfer film remover  45  in the joining parts  46 ,  47  in the X-direction in  FIG. 5A  (in the vertical direction to the sheet of paper in  FIG. 5B ), the both joining parts  46 ,  47  are tightened and fixed from both sides in hugging position.  
      The constituent material of the transfer film remover  45  is same as in the transfer film remover  5  in preferred embodiment 1.  
      In the transfer tool  1  having such structure, the transfer film remover  45  is detached from the case  2  when replacing the inside transfer tape  3  by opening the case  2 , and also as shown in  FIG. 2A , when removing the correction coat film  10  once transferred on the transfer area  11 , it can be also detached from the case  2  and used independently. When removing the correction coat film  10  without detaching the transfer film remover  45  from the case  2 , the case  2  itself may function as the gripping manipulation part when removing the transfer film.  
      In this case, an outer peripheral edge  45   a  of the transfer film remover  45  functions as a corner of proper shape and size for abrading and removing a small part of the correction coat film  10 , not only the whole correction coat film  10  but also a small part of it can be abraded and removed.  
      The other constitution and action are same as in preferred embodiment 1.  
     Preferred Embodiment 5  
      This preferred embodiment is shown in  FIG. 6A  and  FIG. 6B , which is similar to preferred embodiment 1 except that the structure of the transfer film remover  5  is modified.  
      That is, the transfer film remover  55  of the preferred embodiment is formed as a transfer film removal seal adhered to the surface of the case  2 . Specifically, as shown in  FIG. 6B , the transfer film remover  55  is formed as an elastic sheet, and an adhesive layer  55   a  is laminated on the entire back side, and it is tightly adhered along the rear end side surface of the case  2  through the adhesive layer  55   a.    
      The material of the transfer film remover  55  is same as in the transfer film remover  5  in preferred embodiment 1.  
      In the transfer tool  1  having such structure, when pressing the transfer film remover  55  to the correction coat film  10  transferred on the sheet of paper for abrading and removing, by gripping a proper position of the case  2  by fingers, the sense of manipulation is nearly same as in transfer manipulation of the transfer tape  3 . That is, although not shown specifically in the drawing, the holding manner of the case  2  is a front and rear inverted state of holding in transfer manipulation of the correction coat film  10 .  
      The other constitution and action are same as in preferred embodiment 1.  
     Preferred Embodiment 6  
      This preferred embodiment is shown in  FIG. 7A  to  FIG. 7C , which is similar to preferred embodiment 1 except that the basic structure of the transfer tool  1  and structure of the transfer film remover  5  are modified.  
      That is, the transfer tool  61  of the preferred embodiment is a refill type same as in preferred embodiment 4, and more specifically a case  62  of a slender outline shape incorporates a detachable and exchangeable tape cartridge comprising a payoff reel winding a transfer tape  3  to be paid off, a take-up reel for taking up and collecting the used transfer tape, an interlock mechanism for rotating these two reels mutually in cooperation, a transfer head  4  for pressing and transferring the transfer tape  3  on the transfer area, and a clutch mechanism for synchronizing the payoff speed and take-up speed of the transfer tape  3  between the two reels. In part of the case  2  (at rear end in the illustrated case), a transfer film remover  65  is provided for abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on the sheet of paper.  
      This transfer film remover  65  has a function as cap holder for detachably holding a protective cap  63 . That is, the transfer tool  61  has a protective cap  63  for coating and protecting the transfer head  4 , and at the rear end of the case  62 , the transfer film remover  65  serving also as cap holder is provided integrally by projecting backward.  
      The outline shape of the transfer film remover  65  is a nearly truncated conical form specifically as shown in  FIG. 7A , and the edge at its leading end forms a corner  65   a  similar to the corner  5   a  in preferred embodiment 1. Near the leading end of the transfer film remover  65 , an annular fitting groove  65   b  is provided in the entire periphery to be fitted to an annular fitting rib  63   a  provided at the inner side of the protective cap  63 .  
      The material for the transfer film remover  65  is same as in the transfer film remover  5  in preferred embodiment 1.  
      The protective cap  63  has a shape and size larger than the internal space of the shape and size of the transfer head  4 , and the annular fitting rib  63   a  at the inner side is elastically engaged with an engaging part  66   a  of a head holder  66  provided at the leading end of the case  62 .  
      In the transfer tool  61  having such structure, when correcting a wrong letter, as shown in  FIG. 7B , the protective cap  63  of the transfer head  4  is detached, and the transfer tool  61  is manipulated for transfer in a state engaged and held with the transfer film remover  65  at the rear end of the case  2 .  
      On the other hand, when abrading and removing the correction coat film  10  once transferred on the transfer area  11 , as shown in  FIG. 7A , with the protective cap  63  covered and protective by the transfer head  4 , the transfer film remover  65  integrally provided in the case  2  is used. In this case, the case  62  is held in front and rear inverted state of holding in transfer manipulation of correction coat film  10 , and nearly same sense of manipulation as in transfer manipulation of the transfer tape  3  is assured. That is, not specifically shown in the drawing, the case  2  is held in front and rear inverted state of holding in transfer manipulation of the correction coat film  10 .  
      The other constitution and action are same as in preferred embodiment 1.

      Using these transfer film removers in example 1 to 31 and comparative examples 1 to 10, the transfer film removal tests I to III were conducted, and the peel capacity of transfer film (removal capacity), the surface state of transfer area after removal of transfer film, and the wear amount were measured and evaluated.  
      Transfer Film Removal Tests I to III  
      1. Test Piece  
      The transfer film removers (circular columnar pellet of 10 mm in diameter and about 5.0 mm in length) obtained in example 1 to 31 and comparative examples 1 to 10 were used.  
      2. Transfer Film Forming Paper  
      (a) Transfer Film Removal Test I  
      Using a commercial correction tape (coat film transfer tool) (tradename Keshiword IV of Seed Co.), the correction coat film of transfer tape was transferred on sheet of paper (transfer area).  
      (b) Transfer Film Removal Test II  
      Using a commercial adhesive tape (coat film transfer tool) (tradename Escal II of Fuji Copian Co.), the adhesive coat film of transfer tape was transferred on sheet of paper (transfer area).  
      (c) Transfer Film Removal Test III  
      Using a commercial marker tape (coat film transfer tool) (tradename Pylos of Union Chemical Co.), the marker coat film of transfer tape was transferred on sheet of paper (transfer area).  
      3. Test Method  
      A circular columnar test piece was applied in a wear tester, with the circular edge (corner) of the leading end of the test piece kept vertically in contact with the transfer film forming paper, in the condition of load of 500 g applied to the test piece as pressing force to the sheet of paper at reciprocal moving speed of 150±10 cm/min in a direction parallel to the sheet of paper, abrasive removal action was continued until the correction coat film (transfer film) on the transfer film forming paper was peeled off, and the peel capacity (removal capacity: number of reciprocal strokes required to peel the correction coat film), the surface state of the transfer film forming paper after removal of correction coat film, and the wear amount of test piece were measured and evaluated.  
      These tests were conducted on the transfer film (transfer film forming paper) of three types of tapes (correction tape, adhesive tape, and marker tape), and test results (peel capacity, surface scratch, and wear) are shown in Tables 1 to 5.  
      4. Test Results  
      (A) Peel Capacity  
      To evaluate the peel capacity, the number of reciprocal strokes required to peel off the correction coat film was counted, and was evaluated as excellent (⊚) if peeled in 1 to 5 strokes, good (◯) in 6 to 10 strokes, poor (Δ) in 11 strokes or more, and bad (X) if not peeled.  
      (a) Transfer Film Removal Test I  
      Examples 1 to 31 of the invention were all evaluated as good (◯) or higher, and there was no practical problem, and in particular examples 4 to 31 are known to have an excellent peel capacity.  
      On the other hand, comparative examples 1 to 10 were evaluated as poor (Δ) or lower, and there were practical problems.  
      (b) Transfer Film Removal Test II  
      Examples 1 to 31 of the invention were all evaluated as excellent (⊚) or higher, and there was no practical problem, and an excellent peel capacity was recognized.  
      On the other hand, comparative examples 1 to 3, 8 and 9 were evaluated as good (◯) or higher, but comparative examples 4 to 7 and 10 were evaluated as poor (Δ) or lower, and there were practical problems.  
      (c) Transfer Film Removal Test III  
      Examples 1 to 31 of the invention were all evaluated as excellent (⊚) or higher, and there was no practical problem, and an excellent peel capacity was recognized.  
      On the other hand, comparative examples 1 to 9 were evaluated as good (◯) or higher, but comparative example 10 was evaluated as bad (X), and there were practical problems.  
      (B) Surface Scratch  
      The surface of the transfer film forming paper was observed after removal of correction coat film, and scratch of test piece by abrasive removal action was investigated, and it was evaluated good (◯) if no scratch was found, and bad (X) if scratch was found.  
      (a) Transfer Film Removal Test I  
      Examples 1 to 31 of the invention were all evaluated as good (◯), and paper surface was not scratched, and there was no practical problem.  
      On the other hand, comparative examples 1 to 3 and 6 to 10 were evaluated as good (◯), but comparative examples 4 and 5 were evaluated as bad (X), and paper surface was scratched, and there were practical problems.  
      (b) Transfer Film Removal Test II  
      Examples 1 to 31 of the invention were all evaluated as good (◯), and paper surface was not scratched, and there was no practical problem. Comparative examples 1 to 10 were also evaluated as good (◯).  
      (c) Transfer Film Removal Test III  
      Examples 1 to 31 of the invention were all evaluated as good (◯), and paper surface was not scratched, and there was no practical problem. Comparative examples 1 to 10 were also evaluated as good (α 3 ).  
      (C) Wear (mg)  
      To measure the wear amount of test piece, 10 reciprocal strokes of moving action on the correction coat film were applied as one abrasive removal operation, that is, one abrasive removal operation consists of 10 reciprocal strokes required to peel off the correction coat film without practical problem, and the wear amount of test piece was measured by repeating 200 times of abrasive removal operation (statistically, the number of times of abrasive removal operation repeated throughout the life span of the transfer tool; in the disposable type, corresponding to 5000 times of the life of the provided transfer tape, and in the refill type, corresponding to 500 times of 10 transfer tapes provided changeably).  
      (a) Transfer Film Removal Test I  
      Examples 1 to 31 of the invention were not worn at all (wear amount of 0), and there was no practical problem. Comparative examples 1 to 10 were also 0 in wear amount.  
      (b) Transfer Film Removal Test II  
      Examples 1 to 31 of the invention were not worn at all (wear amount of 0), and there was no practical problem. Comparative examples 1 to 10 were also 0 in wear amount.  
      (c) Transfer Film Removal Test III  
      Examples 1 to 31 of the invention were not worn at all (wear amount of 0), and there was no practical problem. Comparative examples 1 to 10 were also 0 in wear amount.  
      The examples are preferred embodiments of the invention, but the invention is not limited to these examples alone, and may be changed and modified in design. Modified examples are given below.  
      (1) For example, the transfer tool  1  of preferred embodiments 1 to 3 and 8 to 10 relates to a disposable type structure entirely composed of consumable parts including the transfer tape, whereas the transfer tools  41 ,  61  of preferred embodiments 4, 6, and 7 relate to a refill type structure partly composed of exchangeable parts including the transfer tape, but the transfer film removers provided in them, that is,  5 ,  25 ,  35 ,  45 ,  55 ,  65 ,  75 ,  85 ,  95 , and  105  can be converted to the transfer tool of opposite type structure, that is, those in the disposable type structure can be applied in the transfer tool of the refill type structure, and others in the refill type structure can be applied in the transfer tool of the disposable type structure.  
      (2) The transfer tools  1 ,  41  and  61  of the preferred embodiments comprise both the payoff reel winding a transfer tape to be paid off, and a take-up reel for taking up and collecting the used transfer tape after being pressed and transferred to the transfer area by the transfer head, both provided in the case, but the transfer film removers  5  to  105  of the invention can be also applied in the transfer tool of a simple structure omitting the take-up reel so that the used transfer tape is cut off and removed without being collected in the case.  
      (3) Further, the transfer tape  3  can be applied, not only in the correction tape for disposing and holding a correction coat film as shown in the drawings, but also in other transfer tapes such as adhesive tape (adhesive coat film applied peelably on the surface of base tape) and marker taper (marker coat film applied peelably on the surface of base tape) used in the above tests, or mark transfer tape (pressure-sensitive adhesive transfer marks peelably applied continuously at specific intervals on the surface of base tape).  
      According to the transfer tool of the invention, since the transfer film remover for abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on the sheet of paper is provided in part of the case, by the exclusive transfer film remover always furnished in the transfer tool, the transfer film once transferred on the transfer area can be abraded and removed, and there is no risk of dropping and losing.  
      The position of the case comprising the transfer film remover is ergonomically set at a position proper for holding and manipulating by a hand when abrading and removing by pressing this transfer film remover to the transfer film transferred on a sheet of paper or the like, so that the transfer film can be abraded and removed easily and securely.  
      The transfer film remover has an appearance and shape having a corner of shape and dimension capable of abrading and removing a small part of the transfer film in its part, and therefore not only the whole transfer film but also a small part thereof can be abraded and removed.  
      The transfer film remover of the invention is composed of a material small in wear when abrading and removing the transfer film transferred on the sheet of paper, and therefore various transfer films once transferred on the sheet of paper by the transfer tool can be abraded and removed easily and securely without scratching or staining the sheet of paper.  
      Further, since the transfer film remover is composed of a material of small wear, and when it is provided in part of the case of the transfer tool of the invention, it is almost free from wear in the time course as compared with the life span of the transfer tool itself, and the appearance of the transfer tool is not spoiled by wear and deformation of the transfer film remover.  
      As the invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit of essential characteristics thereof, the present embodiments are therefore illustrative and not restrictive, since the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than by the description preceding them, and all changes that fall within metes and bounds of the claims, or equivalence of such metes and bounds thereof are therefore intended to be embraced by the claims.
