Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a pattern plate manufactured by transferring various kinds of patterns onto the surface of a stone, a metal plate, an acrylic plate, a glass plate, a sphere or the like, and a manufacturing method of the pattern plate.

BACKGROUND ART

With regard to a pattern plate in which patterns are drawn on a conventional wooden plate and a method for manufacturing the pattern plate, there are disclosed a wooden decoration plate and a manufacturing process of the wooden decoration plate which are described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 95398/1989.
However, the manufacture of the wooden decoration plate according to the method described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 95398/1989 is accompanied with the disadvantage of requiring too much labor and time.
Furthermore, because too much labor and time are required for the manufacture of the wooden decoration plate, a manufacturing cost extremely increases, and it is difficult to draw a clear pattern and a pattern with gradations.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pattern plate having various patterns which can be extremely simply manufactured and in which the various patterns can be drawn at a low cost and a clear pattern and a pattern with gradations can be drawn in a short time. Another object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method of the pattern plate.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

To achieve the object mentioned above, the first aspect of the present invention is directed to a pattern plate which is obtainable by bonding a transfer cloth coated with an adhesive onto the surface of a transfer plate coated with an adhesive, jetting fine particles against the surface of the transfer cloth, peeling off the transfer cloth from the transfer plate, and then removing dust on the surface of the patterned transfer plate with a wiping cloth.
The second aspect of the present invention is directed to a method for manufacturing a pattern plate which comprises the steps of bonding a transfer cloth coated with an adhesive onto the surface of a transfer plate coated with an adhesive, jetting fine particles against the surface of the transfer cloth, peeling off the transfer cloth from the transfer plate, and then removing dust on the surface of the patterned transfer plate with a wiping cloth.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Next, a pattern plate which is the present invention and the manufacturing method of the pattern plate are detailed based on the appended drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view of the pattern plate which is the present invention. In the invention of this application, the cloth on which various patterns are formed is a transfer cloth 2 and the plate to which the patterns of the transfer cloth 2 are transferred is a pattern plate 1 comprising a transfer plate 3.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the transfer cloth used in the present invention is coated with an adhesive. To manufacture the pattern plate 1 which is the present invention, first of all, the transfer cloth 2 on which a desired pattern 2a is formed is provided. Then adhesive 4a of a spray container 4 is jetted onto the surface and rear of the transfer cloth 2 and the entire transfer cloth 2 is coated with an adhesive.
Coating only the rear or both the surface and rear with the adhesive 4a is applied so that they are bonded on the transfer plate 3 and the patterns of the transfer cloth 2 can firmly be transferred. The portion of the pattern 2a is a portion in which it has usually a thickness and no transparency. Conversely, the portion of a no-pattern 2b is a portion in which the cloth is thin in thickness and transparent.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the surface of the transfer plate used in the present invention is coated with an adhesive. This is because the surface of the transfer plate 3 is coated with the adhesive 4a so that the transfer cloth 2 coated with the adhesive 4a can smoothly be bonded.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which a transfer cloth is bonded to a transfer plate. The transfer cloth 2 coated with the adhesive on the surface or both the surface and rear is unevenly bonded to the surface of the transfer plate 3 coated with the adhesive 4a.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which fine particles are jetted against the transfer cloth surface on the transfer plate on which a transfer cloth is bonded. As shown in Fig. 4, fine particles 6 comprising sand-like iron are jetted and sprayed through a nozzle 5 onto the surface of the transfer cloth 2 on the transfer plate 3 in which the transfer cloth 2 is bonded to the surface by a compressor. For the air pressure under which these fine particles 6 are sprayed, the pressure which can be adjusted and differs according to a pattern is applied.
Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing a state in which a transfer cloth is peeled off from a transfer plate. As shown in Fig. 6, if fine particles are jetted and sprayed on the entire surface of the transfer cloth 2, the pattern 2a is transferred to the surface of the transfer plate 3 and a pattern transfer plate 1a can be formed.
That is to say, because the pattern 2a of the transfer cloth 2 is thick and has no transparency, even if the fine particles 6 are sprayed from the nozzle 5 and the fine particles 6 are struck on the portion of the pattern 2a, the impact force of the fine particles 6 is only applied to the portion of the pattern 2a and the impact force of the fine particles 6 will not reach the transfer plate 3 under the pattern 2a. A sand blast machine is used as a machine which jets fine particles.
Accordingly, because the iron fine particles 6 will be struck directly on the surface of the transfer plate 3, no impact force will be applied. Consequently, the portion of the transfer plate 3 in which the pattern 2a is positioned will not be damaged by the impact force of the fine particles 6 and a transfer pattern 3a protruded on the surface of the transfer plate 3 is formed. Hereupon, as the fine particles 6 jetted through the nozzle 5, iron fine particles, a mixture of the iron fine particles and sand, and gold-mixed sand may also be used.
However, because the portion of the no-pattern 2b of the transfer cloth 2 is transparent and has many fine through holes, the impact force of the fine particles 6 jetted through the nozzle 5 passes through the no-pattern 2b of the transfer cloth 2. Then, the impact force of the fine particles 6 is directly stuck on the transfer plate 3, so that the portion of a recessed transfer-less pattern 3b is formed on the transfer plate 3.
Thus, on the surface of the transfer plate 3, the pattern 2a of the transfer cloth 2 is formed as the transfer pattern 3a so as to protrude on the surface of the transfer plate 3, and the no-pattern 2b of the transfer cloth 2 is formed as the transfer-less pattern 3b in a recessed form, thereby forming the pattern transfer plate 1a.
Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which dust which is bonded to the surface of a transfer plate is wiped off after a transfer cloth has been peeled off from the transfer plate. As shown in Fig. 6, after the transfer cloth 2 has been peeled off, the pattern plate 1 shown in Fig. 1 is completed by wiping off the dust which is bonded to the surface of the pattern transfer plate 1a with a wiping cloth 7 impregnated with a thinner.
The present invention may also be replaced with a transfer cloth which coats a patterned polyvinyl cloth, a paper cloth, a leaf of a plant, and a cut picture with the adhesive as well as only a transfer cloth (made of cloth) as the transfer cloth for transferring patterns on the surface of stone, a metal plate, an acrylic plate, a glass plate, a spherical body, and a rectangular solid. Further, the transfer plate is not restricted to a plate-type one and may also be a spherical body and a cube.
