Abstract
An instrument for transferring coating film onto a surface requiring transfer printing. An instrument of this invention for transferring coating film is in such a structure that: a transfer head (4) is composed of a pressing body (4A) having a tape pressing surface (4a) roughly equal in width to the transfer tape (2) and of a pair of right and left side plates (4B) in contact with the transfer tape for controlling widthwise movement of the transfer tape part which is in contact with the tape pressing body (4A); the tape pressing surface (4a) of the tape pressing body (4A) and front edges (4b) of the side plates (4B) are adapted to be continuous or almost continuous in the direction of the width of tape; and each of front edges (4b) of the side plates (4B) is formed tapered so as to gradually depart from an imaginary straight line (X) passing through the tape pressing surface (4a) toward outer sides in the width direction of the tape; whereby the instrument exhibits high transfer printing function and is easy to operate because no damage is inflicted to the surface requiring transfer printing even when the case tilts.
