Abstract

A transfer tool set is configured such that a plurality of refills, for example, a narrow refill, a medium refill and a wide refill, are prepared and a common transfer tool main body is able to selectively accommodate any of the refills. As transfer tools constituted with the transfer tool set, a first transfer tool in which the narrow refill is installed on the common transfer tool main body, a second transfer tool in which the medium refill is installed on the transfer tool main body and a third transfer tool in which the wide refill is installed on the transfer tool main body can be cited.

1 . A transfer tool comprising:
 a refill being configured such that a refill main body supports a pair of reels to feed and wind up a transfer tape; and   a transfer tool main body having a case that is able to selectively accommodate either the refill or another refill which includes other reels having different width from the reels of the refill inside,   each of the reels having a wheel part supported by a supporting shaft of the refill main body and a body part provided to be continuous with a periphery of the wheel part so that the transfer tape is wound around a periphery of the body part,   the refill main body having a refill base in which at least each part corresponding to each of the reels is flat and a pair of protuberance parts protruding from one face of the refill base toward the wheel parts of the reels,   each of top end faces of the protuberance parts guiding the corresponding wheel part of each of the reels.   
     
     
         2 . The transfer tool according to  claim 1 , further comprising
 a transfer head to guide the transfer tape from the feeding reel toward the winding reel,   each of the reels being positioned relatively with the transfer head so that the center in the width direction of the transfer tape is able to pass on the center of the transfer head.   
     
     
         3 . The transfer tool according to  claim 1 , wherein
 each of the body parts of the reels is set such that a part of the body part is laid over a periphery of the protuberance part.   
     
     
         4 . The transfer tool according to  claim 1 , wherein
 empty spaces are formed on both sides of each of the reels, the empty space having a width equivalent to a width of an exposed part of each of the protuberance parts that is not covered by each of the body parts of the reels.   
     
     
         5 . A refill used for the transfer tool according to  claim 1 , wherein
 each of the reels is configured such that a body part is provided on a periphery of a wheel part to set an end face on a side close to a refill base of the body part is approximately flush with a side face close to the refill base of the wheel part.   
     
     
         6 . A refill used for the transfer tool according to  claim 1 , wherein
 each of the reels is configured such that a body part is provided on a periphery of a wheel part to extend an end part on a side close to a refill base of the body part toward the refill base further than a side face close to the refill base of the wheel part, and   a dimension of the extended portion of the body part is set smaller than protrusion dimension of a protuberance part.   
     
     
         7 . The refill according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the refill is configured such that a transfer head to guide a transfer tape from the feeding reel toward the winding reel is provided on the refill base,   each of the reels being positioned relatively with the transfer head so that the center in the width direction of the transfer tape is able to pass on the center of the transfer head.   
     
     
         8 . The refill according to  claim 5 , wherein
 each of the protuberance parts has a cylindrical shape with an outside diameter set smaller than an inside diameter of the body part and is provided such that an axis of the protuberance part coincides with an axis of the reel,   each of supporting shafts to support each of the wheel parts of the reels protruding at a center part on a top end of each of the protuberance parts.   
     
     
         9 . A transfer tool set comprising:
 a plurality of the refills including a refill being configured such that a refill main body supports a pair of reels to feed and wind up a transfer tape and the refill according to  claim 6  are prepared, a common transfer tool main body is able to selectively accommodate any of the refills.   
     
     
         10 . A transfer tool comprising:
 a refill being configured such that a refill main body supports a pair of reels to feed and wind up a transfer tape; and   a transfer tool main body having a case that is able to selectively accommodate either the refill or another refill which includes other reels having different width from the reels of the refill inside,   empty spaces being formed on both sides of each of the reels so that the case is able to accommodate the another refill instead of the refill, the another refill including the other reels that have larger width than a width that the reels of the refill have.   
     
     
         11 . The refill according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the refill is configured such that a transfer head to guide a transfer tape from the feeding reel toward the winding reel is provided on the refill base,   each of the reels being positioned relatively with the transfer head so that the center in the width direction of the transfer tape is able to pass on the center of the transfer head.   
     
     
         12 . The refill according to  claim 6 , wherein
 each of the protuberance parts has a cylindrical shape with an outside diameter set smaller than an inside diameter of the body part and is provided such that an axis of the protuberance part coincides with an axis of the reel,   each of supporting shafts to support each of the wheel parts of the reels protruding at a center part on a top end of each of the protuberance parts.
