Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a packaging structure for transporting a transfer tape roll used in a thermal transfer recording type serial printer.

[Conventional technology]

The transfer tape used in a serial printer is usually supplied as a transfer tape roll formed by winding the transfer tape around a winding core to form a disc. As a packaging method for transporting the transfer tape rolls, a large number of transfer tape rolls are stacked and packed in a cylindrical packing material such as paper, or a plurality of transfer tape rolls are arranged between hard flat plates. , There is a method of sandwiching the transfer tape roll with a flat plate.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, the method of stacking a large number of transfer tape rolls and packaging them in a cylindrical shape has a problem that the packaging work is time-consuming. On the other hand, it was found that the method of sandwiching the transfer tape roll between the flat plates causes a problem that the end surface of the transfer tape collapses during transportation. The cause of this problem occurred because the winding core was slightly longer than the transfer tape width. That is, as shown in FIG.
When sandwiched by 2, the length of the core 3 of the transfer tape roll 1 is slightly longer (for example, about 0.4 mm) than the width of the transfer tape 4, so that the flat plates 2 and 2 only restrain the core 3. ，
The end surface of the transfer tape was not pressed by the flat plates 2 and 2, so that the end surface of the transfer tape was deformed during transportation as shown in the drawing.

The present invention is intended to solve this problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a transfer tape packaging structure in which a large number of transfer tape rolls are packed so as not to lose their shape during transportation.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

According to the present invention, a plurality of transfer tape rolls are inserted between a plurality of flat plates each having a plurality of core insertion holes penetrating the core, so that the cores are inserted into the core insertion holes of the respective flat plates. The transfer tape packaging structure is characterized in that both ends of the transfer tape of the transfer tape roll are sandwiched between the flat plates and fixed.

[Action]

In the transfer tape packaging structure having the above structure, the transfer tape roll is arranged between two flat plates so that the core is inserted into the core insertion holes of the respective flat plates, and both ends of the transfer tape are sandwiched between the flat plates. By locating and fixing the transfer tape, both end surfaces of the transfer tape can always be protected by flat plates, and damage to the transfer tape during transportation can be prevented. Moreover, since the core insertion hole is a hole that penetrates the flat plate, it is easy to process. Furthermore,
Since the core insertion hole is a hole that penetrates the flat plate, even if the protrusion height of the core of the transfer tape roll from the end surface of the transfer tape varies, the protruding portion of the core from the transfer tape can be reliably wound. By inserting the transfer tape into the core insertion hole, the end surface of the transfer tape can be surely brought into contact with the flat plate to protect it.
Furthermore, by arranging multiple transfer tape rolls between a pair of flat plates, many transfer tape rolls can be packaged,
Moreover, the multi-stage structure makes it possible to easily package an extremely large number of transfer tape rolls.

〔Example〕

 A preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a part of the embodiment in an enlarged and exploded manner, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a part of the embodiment disassembled. Is. Reference numeral 1 is a transfer tape roll to be wrapped, and the transfer tape 4 is attached to the winding core 3.
Is wound into a disc shape. The winding core 3 is slightly longer than the width of the transfer tape 4, so that the winding core 3 slightly protrudes (usually about 0.2 mm) from both end surfaces of the transfer tape 4. Reference numeral 5 is a flat plate having a plurality of core insertion holes 5a provided therethrough. The flat plate 5 has a core insertion hole 5a.
In order to support the end faces of the transfer tape rolls 1 and 1 with the winding core 3 of the transfer tape roll 1 inserted from both sides, the thickness of the winding core 3 is more than twice the protrusion amount from the end face of the transfer tape have. The flat plate 5 is preferably made of a material that is moderately soft and lightweight so as not to damage the transfer tape 4 when supporting it by contacting the end surface of the transfer tape 4. Materials, specifically foamed polyethylene, are suitable. 7 is a moisture-proof packaging material such as polyethylene film, 8 is a protective plate such as cardboard, and 9 is a band.

The transfer tape packaging structure shown in FIG.
A large number of transfer tape rolls 1 are placed on top of each core 3 by inserting each core 3 into the core insertion hole 5a, and the following flat plate 5
The operation of arranging each winding core so as to be inserted into the winding core insertion hole 5a, and further arranging a large number of transfer tape rolls 1 thereon is repeated, after stacking the transfer tape rolls 1 and the flat plates 5 in a plurality of stages, It is assembled by wrapping the whole in a moisture-proof packing material 7, arranging protective plates 8 on the top and bottom, and binding it with a band 9. If necessary, it is further stored in a cardboard box or the like (not shown) for transportation. To be done.

In the transfer tape packaging structure having the above structure, both ends of the core 3 of each transfer tape roll 1 are inserted into the core insertion holes 5a of the upper and lower flat plates 5 and 5, and both end surfaces of the transfer tape 4 are the upper and lower flat plates 5 and 5. Since it is sandwiched by 5, the transfer tape roll does not move during transportation, the transfer tape end face is not damaged or damaged, and by stacking the flat plate 5 and the transfer tape roll 1 in multiple stages, A large amount of transfer tape rolls can be packed.

[Effect of device]

As described above, in the transfer tape packaging structure of the present invention, a plurality of transfer tape rolls are arranged between two flat plates so that their cores are inserted into the core insertion holes of the respective flat plates. Since both ends of the transfer tape are fixed by sandwiching them with the flat plate, it is possible to prevent the transfer tape from being damaged during transportation, and to easily pack a large number of transfer tape rolls. Have an effect. Furthermore, since the core insertion hole formed in the flat plate is a hole that penetrates the flat plate, it is easy to process, and even if the protrusion height of the core of the transfer tape roll from the end surface of the transfer tape varies, The protrusion of the core from the transfer tape can be securely inserted into the core insertion hole so that the end face of the transfer tape can be brought into contact with the flat plate, and both end faces of the transfer tape can be surely protected. .
