Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a decoration method for decorating a surface of a portable mobile communication device (for example, a mobile phone or a PHS), a home appliance, an office supplies, a golf club head, a vehicle, or the like. Things.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in mobile mobile communication devices (for example, mobile phones and PHSs), home electric appliances, office supplies, golf club heads and vehicles, decorations are applied according to the user's preference. It is common to attach a seal as this kind of decoration method.

[0003]

However, according to such a conventional decoration method, there is a problem that the seal is peeled off due to long-term use and the appearance is deteriorated. Further, the design of the seal or the like is limited, and there is a problem that the selection range of the design by the user is narrow. On the other hand, there is also a method of drawing a unique and unique pattern by directly drawing on the above-described decorative object using paint, but even in this method, it is difficult to change the pattern once drawn, and it requires skill. Work.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and provides a decoration method which can perform decoration by a simple operation and can maintain the decoration quality for a long period of time. The purpose is to do so.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a decoration method for achieving the above object.
The pattern drawn on the surface of the object to be decorated is recorded on a transfer sheet by a printing machine using toner, and after applying a fixing agent to the drawing area of the object to be decorated, the fixing agent is covered with a white color. Applying a paint, the surface of this white paint, by making the printing surface of the transfer sheet surface contact, contact the pattern recorded on this transfer sheet with the white paint,
Then, by applying heat to the transfer sheet, the toner for forming the design is thermally welded on a white paint, and then, after removing the transfer sheet, a transparent paint is applied over the design. And The decoration method according to a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the toner according to the first aspect is an acrylic toner. The decoration method according to a third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the heating of the toner according to the first or second aspect is performed by a heating roll. In the decoration method according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the application area of the fixing agent, the white paint, and the transparent paint according to any one of the first to third aspects substantially matches the size of the design. It is characterized by having made it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, a portable mobile communication device 1 is used as an object to be decorated, and a pattern A drawn on the surface of the mobile communication device 1 is printed by a printing machine 2 using toner as shown in FIG. 2A, the fixing agent 4 is applied to the drawing area B of the mobile communication device 1 as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), a white paint 5 covering the fixing agent 4 is formed.
Is applied to the surface of the white paint 5 and the transfer sheet 3
The transfer sheet 3 is brought into contact with the print surface of
The symbol A recorded above is brought into contact with the white paint 5 as shown in FIG. 3, and then, the toner forming the symbol A is applied onto the white paint 5 by applying heat to the transfer sheet 3. 4A, the transfer sheet 3 is removed, and then, as shown in FIG. 4B, a transparent paint 6 is applied over the pattern A, as shown in FIG. 4B. The mobile communication device 1 is decorated with the symbol A formed by the toner, and the application of the transparent paint 6 prevents the symbol A from peeling off.

The toner is preferably an acrylic toner. By using this acrylic toner, when the transparent paint 6 is applied so as to cover the pattern A, the transparent paint 6 prevents the toner from suffering from problems such as shrinkage and dissolution.

[0008] Further, as the white paint, a paint for sheet metal coating is preferably used, and as the transparent paint, a synthetic resin paint is suitably used, and a curing agent is added to accelerate the curing. The fixing agent 4, the white paint 5, and the transparent paint 6 are applied using a brush or an air brush.

The heating of the toner is performed by rolling along the transfer sheet 3 while pressing the heating roll 7 and the like against the transfer sheet 3 as shown in FIG. By heating with the heating roll 7 in this way, a temperature of about 150 degrees can be given, and the welding of the symbol A is performed in a short time.

Further, in the present embodiment, the application areas of the fixing agent 4, the white paint 5, and the transparent paint 6 are
The size of the symbol A is substantially matched. This is a process for minimizing the work of drawing the symbol A. Then, in order to accurately set the application area, it is conceivable that an unnecessary portion is covered with a masking tape or the like.

When the pattern A is drawn by the decoration method according to the present embodiment in this manner, the pattern A is drawn on a paper surface and is recorded on the transfer sheet 3 by the printing machine 2. 3 can be easily modified or changed in the pre-transfer stage, the design A can be freely drawn, the user's original design A can be decorated, and discrimination from other users can be made. Can be reliably performed. Further, the pattern A is satisfactorily fixed to the mobile communication device 1 by the action of the fixing agent 4 and the white paint 5
The black toner becomes clearer, and the transparent paint 6 suppresses peeling of the pattern A due to rubbing or the like.
The clear design A is retained for a long time.

The various shapes, dimensions, and the like of the components shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and can be variously changed based on design requirements and the like. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the mobile communication device 1 has been exemplified as the decorative object.
However, it is not limited to this.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to freely create a symbol by a simple operation, and thereby to differentiate from other users.
The pattern can be clearly emphasized. Further, the design can be protected to prevent peeling due to rubbing or the like, and the design can be kept in a clear state for a long time.
