DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a jigsaw puzzle manufacturing method and a jigsaw puzzle bag of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same reference numerals in different drawings are the same, and the description thereof may be omitted.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a cross section of a picture sticking paper used as sticking paper in the present invention.
The pattern sticking paper 1 is provided with a water-soluble layer 3 on the surface of a support 2, further provided with a transparent thin film resin coat layer 4 on the surface, and further provided with an image bearing layer 5 as an ink receiving layer on the surface. Thus, it is composed of four layers.

The support 2 is made of a material having good water absorption, for example, paper, synthetic paper, a water-soluble film such as polyvinyl alcohol, and the water-soluble layer 3 is made of a water-soluble substance such as polyvinyl alcohol, starch, dextrin, for example. To do.
The thin resin coating layer 4 has a thickness of about 15 μm and is made of, for example, a vinyl resin (alkyl acetal / polyvinyl alcohol copolymer resin, vinyl synthetic paper, etc.), an alkyl methacrylate resin, a PET resin, or the like. Further, the image bearing layer 5 is made of a polyvinyl alcohol resin having good ink absorbability such as transparent, white and milky white.

Next, a method of forming an image on the pattern sticking paper 1 and sticking it on the surface of a plain jigsaw puzzle mount, which is a sticking object, will be described.
First, as an image forming process, for example, image data created by a personal computer (not shown) is printed on the pattern sticking paper 1 using an ink jet printer or the like, and a mirror image (reversal) picture is formed on the picture sticking paper 1 To do.
As shown in FIG. 2, the mirror image pattern 7 is formed as the ink layer portion 6 of the image carrier layer 5 to complete the pattern sticking paper 1 as shown in FIG.

Then, an adhesive is sprayed so as to cover the entire image surface formed on the image carrying layer 5 of the image sticking paper 1 to form an adhesive layer 8 on the image surface of the image carrying layer 5 as shown in FIG. To do.
As an adhesive for forming the adhesive layer 8, for example, it is used for acrylic rubber spray paste such as “printing bond” and “spray paste 55” manufactured by 3M, shoji paper, bran paper, etc. Hot melt adhesives, adhesives used for stamps, wallpaper, etc., or double-sided PSA sheets are used. Moreover, transparent, white, milky white, etc. are used for the color of an adhesive agent according to the color tone of a sticking target object.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, a solid jigsaw puzzle 20 that is an object to be pasted is attached to the image carrier side that carries the image, that is, the surface of the adhesive layer 8, as a pattern pasting process. The thin film resin coat layer 4 side of the pattern sticking paper 1 is attached to the jigsaw puzzle 20 so that the image is placed between the thin film resin coat layer 4 and the jigsaw puzzle 20. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, heat and pressure are applied while applying steam 201 with an iron 200, and the pattern sticking paper 1 is stuck on the surface of the jigsaw puzzle 20 while removing air existing on the sticking surface.

  Here, as the jigsaw puzzle 20, which is an object to be pasted, a plurality of puzzle pieces having uneven shapes of required shapes are separately formed on each side by die-cutting a plain mount, and the unevenness of each puzzle piece is fitted. A flat jigsaw puzzle is used.

  As a manufacturing method of the jigsaw puzzle 20, first, as shown in a cross section in FIG. 7, two cardboard papers 72 each having a white paper 71 attached on one side and a hot melt adhesive 73 only on a peripheral part to be a frame part. A jigsaw puzzle material 74 is prepared and bonded so that the white paper 71 side is on the outside. Here, the cardboard paper 72 to which the upper white paper 71 is attached corresponds to the plain mount of the present invention. And as a base_sheet | mounting_paper, cork board and a wooden board other than other papers may be used irrespective of corrugated paper, and providing the white paper 71 is not essential. In the present invention, the term “solid” means that there is no pattern on the surface, and those having a ground pattern such as Japanese paper or cork are also included.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the jigsaw puzzle material 74 is placed in a state where the predetermined position is aligned with the upper surface of the cutting table 81, and the cutting table 81 is used to cut the upper puzzle piece. By moving up and down in the direction of the arrow 83, only the upper blank paper 71 and cardboard paper 72 are punched into a predetermined shape and divided into a puzzle piece 75 and a frame portion 76.

FIGS. 8A and 8B are diagrams showing the plain jigsaw puzzle produced as described above. FIG. 8A is a plan view and FIG. 8B is a partial cross-sectional view.
The jigsaw puzzle 20 is divided into a plurality of puzzle pieces 75 by cutting out a plain mount. Each puzzle piece 75 has irregularities of a required shape on each side, and the puzzle piece 75 can be planarized by fitting these irregularities. Further, the peripheral portion is bonded to the lower corrugated cardboard to form the frame portion 76. The lower corrugated cardboard functions as a bottom plate 78 and, together with the frame portion 76, functions as a work plate or a holder when the separated puzzle pieces are combined. Further, a cut groove recess 77 generated by die cutting is formed between the individual puzzle pieces 75 and between the puzzle piece 75 and the frame portion 76.

  After the sticking step described above, as a support peeling step, water 9 is included in the support 2 of the pattern sticking paper 1 stuck on the jigsaw puzzle 20 using a spray or the like. Thereby, the water 9 applied to the surface of the water-absorbing support 2 penetrates the support 2 and reaches the water-soluble layer 3, while being transferred from the surface of the support 2 to the side of the pattern sticking paper 1 to be water-soluble. It penetrates into the layer 3 also from the side surface side.

  Since the water-soluble layer 3 is composed of the water-soluble substance 3 ′, the water-soluble layer 3 is dissolved by the infiltrated water 9, and as shown in FIG. The image is separated into a pattern adhering sheet 10 composed of the image bearing layer 5 on which the pattern 7 is formed and the thin film resin coat layer 4. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the support 2 of the pattern sticking paper 1 is peeled from the pattern sticking sheet 10.

  At this time, since the water-soluble substance 3 ′ remains on the surface of the pattern sticking sheet 10, when the water-soluble substance 3 ′ on the thin film resin coat layer 4 is removed using a cloth wetted with water as a cleaning process. As shown in FIG. 11, the pattern sticking sheet 10 is adhered on the jigsaw puzzle 20. In this state, as shown in the enlarged cross section of FIG. 12, the pattern sticking sheet 10 does not enter the cut groove recesses 77 between the puzzle pieces 75 of the jigsaw puzzle 20, and the pattern sticking sheet 10 is cut groove recesses. It is in a floating state at 77. For this reason, the pattern of the cut groove concave portion 77 is not clearer than the other portions due to the influence of air in the cut groove concave portion 77.

  Next, as a heat fixing process, as shown in FIG. 13, the plastic film 100 is disposed on the pattern sticking sheet 10, that is, on the thin resin coating layer 4, and the wet cloth 202 is placed on the plastic film 100. Again, iron the iron 200 again. That is, the pattern sticking sheet 10 of the pattern sticking paper 1 is heated and pressed by applying heat and pressure through the plastic film 100 in a state where the pattern sticking sheet 10 is stuck to the jigsaw puzzle 20 as the sticking target. Instead of the wet cloth 202, a soft silicone rubber foam sheet or the like may be used.

Thereby, as shown in FIG. 14, the jigsaw puzzle of the normal image pattern 21 which has the pattern of the cut groove recessed part 77 on the surface is obtained in the state in which the plastic film 100 is thermocompression bonded.
In this state, as shown in FIG. 15, the pattern sticking sheet 10 enters the cut groove recesses 77 between the puzzle pieces 75 of the jigsaw puzzle 20, and the thin film resin coat layer on which the pattern is formed Since 4 is continuously bonded to each puzzle piece 75 in a state where it enters the cut groove recess, each puzzle piece 75 can be prevented from scattering apart. Further, since the image is also closely attached to the surface of the puzzle piece 75 with little distortion, a clear pattern can be obtained even in the cut groove recess 77.
The jigsaw puzzle having the normal image pattern 21 in which the puzzle pieces 75 and the frame portion 76 are connected by the thin film resin coat layer 4 can be used as an interior decoration article for the room.

  And since the surface which contacts the thin film resin coat layer 4 of the plastic film 100 is made into the flat surface 101, since the surface of the thin film resin coat layer 4 becomes smooth, it will become glossy. The puzzle piece surface can form a more glossy pattern than the case where the plastic film 100 is not interposed. In particular, when the pattern is a photograph or oil painting image, it is rich in glossy texture and a realistic pattern can be obtained. Further, by interposing the plastic film 100, the pattern adhering sheet 10 can be inserted further into the cut groove recess 77 than in the case where the plastic film 100 is not interposed.

  This is because when the plastic film 100 is heated and pressed, the plastic film 100 itself thermally expands and enters the cut groove recess 77, or the material of the plastic film 100 is in the plane direction at the position of the cut groove recess 77. It is presumed that the heat expands and this stress is wrinkled in the cut groove concave portion 77, and is caused by the action of trying to enter the pattern sticking sheet 10 into the deeper portion of the cut groove concave portion 77.

  And as a material of a plastic film, it is suitable to use a polypropylene film. In this case, if the thickness of the plastic film 100 is thin, the operability and workability are deteriorated, and the releasability when the plastic film 100 is peeled off from the design sticking sheet 10 is deteriorated. The thickness of the plastic film 100 made of polypropylene is preferably 80 μm to 120 μm because the pattern sticking sheet 10 does not enter the depth of the cut groove recess 77. Furthermore, in order to improve the releasability of the plastic film 100, silicone or the like may be applied between the plastic film 100 and the thin film resin coat layer 4.

  By the way, in embodiment mentioned above, although it heat-pressed using the iron 200 at the heat fixing process, it is not restricted to the iron 200, For example, as shown in FIG. 16, a pair of jigsaw puzzles 20 to which the pattern sticking sheet 10 is attached are shown. May be sandwiched by the sandwiching body 30 and heated and pressed by applying a certain pressure. This sandwiching body 30 is composed of a plate-like support 31 and a soft silicon rubber foam 32 provided on the surface thereof, and in a state where the plastic film 100 is arranged on the pattern sticking sheet 10 side of the jigsaw puzzle 20, the soft silicon The rubber foam 32 is sandwiched between them. In addition, a heating element 33 that heats the flexible silicone rubber foam 32 to 120 ° C. to 180 ° C. is provided on the support 31 of one sandwiching body 30 provided on the pattern sticking sheet 10 side.

  Moreover, as a heat fixing process, you may heat-press the jigsaw puzzle 20 which has arrange | positioned the plastic film 100 on the surface of the pattern sticking sheet 10 using the fixing apparatus 50 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 18, the fixing device 50 has a pair of roller-like rotating bodies 53, and these rotating bodies 53 are constituted by a rotating support body 54 and a soft silicone rubber foam 55 provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof. To do. A heating support 56 for heating the silicon rubber foam 55 to 120 ° C. to 180 ° C. is provided on the rotary support 54 of one rotary body 53 provided on the pattern sticking sheet 10 side. The thermostat 57 is brought into light contact with the biasing member 58. Further, the rotation support body 54 of the other rotation body 53 is urged toward the one rotation body 53 by the urging member 59.

  Then, the jigsaw puzzle 20 in which the plastic film 100 is arranged on the surface of the pattern sticking sheet 10 is put in the fixing device 50 and guided between the upper and lower guide plates 61 and guided between the pair of rotating bodies 53. After being heated and pressed at, it is guided and discharged by the upper and lower guide plates 62 on the downstream side. When the heat fixing process is completed, the plastic jig 100 may be peeled off from the jigsaw puzzle or may be left as it is after the entire jigsaw puzzle has been cooled to room temperature.

  As described above, the jigsaw puzzle of the present invention obtained as described above can be used as an interior decoration article for a room. However, when making a puzzle for a game, the plastic film 100 is peeled off from the jigsaw puzzle, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, only the thin film resin coat layer 4 and the image bearing layer 5 are cut along the cut groove recesses 77 of the jigsaw puzzle with an appropriate knife 300 to separate the individual puzzle pieces 75 ′ while leaving the frame portion 76 ′. can do. In this case, since the thin film resin coat layer 4 and the image carrier layer 5 enter the cut groove recess 77 and are bonded, the thin film resin coat layer 4 and the image carrier layer 5 are not peeled off from the side surfaces of the individual puzzle pieces. . Further, only the thin-film resin coat layer 4 and the image carrier layer 5 are cut, and the cutting can be performed along the cut groove recess 77, so that it can be accurately separated without requiring a large force. In addition, you may isolate | separate each puzzle piece using an ultrasonic cutter instead of the knife 300. FIG.

In the above embodiment, as the heat fixing step, the surface of the plastic film 100 that is in contact with the thin film resin coat layer 4 is made flat so that the surface of the thin film resin coat layer 4 is smooth and glossy. As shown in FIG. 20, the surface of the plastic film 100 that is in contact with the thin resin coating layer 4 is a fine uneven surface 102, whereby the surface of the jigsaw puzzle can be formed as a matte surface.
In order to make the surface of the plastic film 100 have a fine uneven surface, for example, mat processing by sandblasting can be used.

  In the above embodiment, the plastic film 100 is used in the heat fixing process. However, the jigsaw puzzle 20 with the image sticking sheet 10 attached is inserted into a bag 110 made of a plastic film as shown in FIG. Then, in a state where the jigsaw puzzle 20 is inserted into the jigsaw puzzle bag 110, the jigsaw puzzle 20 with the pattern sticking sheet 10 attached thereto may be heat-pressed as shown in FIG. In this case, since the jigsaw puzzle 20 to which the pattern sticking sheet 10 is stuck is heat-pressed in a state of being in the jigsaw bag 110, compared to the case of using the plastic film 100, there is no possibility that the plastic film is displaced at the time of heat-compression, A plastic film can be positioned and arranged on the surface of the pattern sticking sheet 10 with certainty.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, it is desirable that one of the inner surfaces of the jigsaw puzzle bag is formed as a fine uneven surface 111 and the other inner surface is formed as a flat surface 112. Then, as shown in FIG. 22, when heat fixing is performed with the flat surface 112 side of the jigsaw puzzle bag facing the pattern sticking sheet 10, a jigsaw puzzle having a glossy surface can be obtained. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 23, when heat-fixing is performed with the fine uneven surface 111 side of the jigsaw puzzle bag facing the pattern sticking sheet 10, a jigsaw puzzle having a matte surface can be obtained.

  In addition, the jigsaw puzzle bag 110 shown in FIG. 21A shows an example in which the jigsaw puzzle bag 110 is manufactured using a plastic film having one flat surface 112 on one side and a fine uneven surface 111 on the other side. A jigsaw puzzle bag 110 ′ shown in FIG. 21B is formed using a plastic film having one flat surface 112 on one side and a fine uneven surface 111 on the other surface and a plastic film having a flat surface 112 on both sides. An example of making 'is shown. The jigsaw puzzle bags 110 and 110 'can be used not only when the jigsaw puzzle is heated and fixed, but also as packaging bags when the jigsaw puzzle is distributed.

   In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the user forms an image or the like on the pattern sticking paper 1 on which no image is formed, and then sticks to a plain jigsaw puzzle that is a sticking target. You may use the pattern sticking paper 1 in which the image was formed in the image carrier layer 5. FIG. Further, instead of forming the mirror image pattern 7 on the image sticking paper 1 using an ink jet printer, it may be formed by a sublimation type thermal transfer printer. In this case, the image bearing layer 5 is made of a transparent, white, or milky white ink-absorbent resin having good ink absorbability.

  In addition, the adhesive 11 is applied to the image surface formed on the image carrying layer 5 of the pattern sticking paper 1 before the picture sticking paper 1 is stuck to the jigsaw puzzle 20. May be applied and the pattern sticking paper 1 may be stuck.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24, after forming the mirror image pattern 7 on the image bearing layer 5, an adhesive is applied in advance to the image surface formed on the image bearing layer 5 of the pattern sticking paper 1 to apply the adhesive layer 8. The image sticking paper 1 is formed as a five-layer structure of a support 2, a water-soluble layer 3, a thin film resin coating layer 4, an image carrying layer 5, and an adhesive layer 8. Good. In this case, before sticking the pattern sticking paper 1 to the jigsaw puzzle 20, after peeling off the release agent 14, the sticking paper sticking process, the support peeling process, the cleaning process, and the heat fixing process are performed. If necessary, a solvent coating process and a drying process are performed.

  Further, the release paper 11 may be transparent so that the mirror image pattern 7 formed on the image carrying layer 5 can be transmitted. Further, instead of making the release paper 11 transparent, an image formed on the surface of the release paper 11 that is the same as or reversed from the mirror image pattern 7 formed on the image bearing layer 5 may be formed.

Next, another example of the pattern sticking paper of the present invention will be described.
