Abstract

In a gear arrangement for driving the spool core (11) of a take-up spool for a transfer tape (5) through the spool core (3) of a feed spool arranged laterally of and radially offset from the take-up spool in the housing (2) of a transfer dispenser or in a refill cassette (1) for a transfer dispenser, comprising a first gearwheel (28) which is driven by the feed spool and which meshes with a second gearwheel (26,27) designed to drive the take-up spool (11), the pitch diameter of the second gearwheel (27) being smaller than that of the first gearwheel (28), a slipping clutch (16) being provided between the spool core (11) of one of the two spools and the associated gearwheel (27) and a radially projecting annular disc (13;14) being disposed on each spool core (3;11) and its side facing the other spool, the two spool cores (3,11) bear partly against one another through their mutually opposite annular discs (13,14). In addition, the first gearwheel (28) is formed with inner teeth (28) which are integral with the spool core (3) of the feed spool and in the interior of which lies the second gearwheel (27), the take-up spool being mounted for rotation on a spindle (15) integral with the housing or the cassette through a central annular sleeve (25). The annular sleeve (25) has a lateral extension (26) which carries the second, externally toothed gearwheel (27) meshing with the first gearwheel (28).
