Description

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for transferring an image of a biological specimen onto leather using a previously established plate disclosed in US Pat. No. 3,298,881. Transferring an image of a biological specimen onto the image. These plates provide an imprint of a biological specimen such as a butterfly, seahorse, or plant, and the use of the present invention may be any of the methods disclosed in US Pat. No. 3,298,881. And for all biological specimens. By coloring the transferred image on the leather, the complex details of the sample become clearer and a duplicate stereo image of the original biological specimen is obtained. 2. Description of the Prior Art Transfer techniques are commonly performed using pressure awls or molds of various shapes and sizes. These are used to press on parchment, leather, clay, or metal, or any surface that accepts imprints. Another variation is the use of heated molds, awls, or wood burning punches. The above method is ineffective in providing imprints of complex biological specimens as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,298,881. The primary purpose of the transparent plates (U.S. Pat. No. 3,298,881) was to investigate, observe and study biological images, so that the flat monochromatic color of the inverted asperities formed by these plates. The image did not allow for a sufficiently stereoscopic perception of how the sample actually looked in nature. One significant disadvantage of plates (US Pat. No. 3,298,881) from a scientific point of view is that the images formed on the plates are simultaneously, per plate, from the original sample. Because only one image can be formed, it can only be used to study from a certain location. This creates a problem when multiple people must observe the exact sample plate at different locations. Another disadvantage of U.S. Pat. No. 3,298,881 is that the stamp itself cannot be bent because the plate itself is not flexible. Also, the original transparent plate (US Pat. No. 3,298,881) cannot be shaded in order to clarify the image of the biological specimen (except for the color of the polymer sheet forming the plate). ), So that only a single perspective dimension of the image can be provided. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention not only allows a viewer to see a transcribed biological image swelling over leather, but also creates a replica of that sample without the actual existence of the original sample. The present invention provides a flexible, raised, three-dimensional, accurate reproduction image of a sample, which enables the user to feel the image. This new technology allows the repeat transfer of images from the plate and provides the exact number of exact duplicates of the original sample from a single plate, as desired by the individual. Allows you to view the transcribed sample at any time or place. Being able to form a duplicate of the desired sample simultaneously allows multiple persons to see the exact same image at different locations at the same time. This involves a first step of moistening selected portions of the leather with water and placing the smooth side of the damp leather over the relief imprint formed by the example from US Pat. No. 3,298,881. And arranging. The present invention does not require any heat and only requires the use of one board per design and each use to transfer the desired biological image. An equal pressure is then applied to the entire surface of the board and the wet leather. This can be done in a press meeting this need, using pressures of 50 tons or more. Although lower pressures can be used, the higher the pressure, the shorter the time required to form the embossed imprint. After the pressure is removed, the leather is removed from the board and allowed to dry, thereby stabilizing the transferred image. The leather is then colored or pigmented, thereby representing the complex details of the transferred image of the biological sample. When compressed, the leather accepts a relief of the biological image of the irregularities on the plate described above, and retains the complex details of the original sample, and is excellent in transferability, so that the present invention US Pat. No. 3,298,881 to the use of only leather when transferring these designs. When read in conjunction with the drawings and information of US Pat. No. 3,298,881, which forms a part of this specification, the present invention will become more fully and fully understood from the detailed description of the preferred embodiments. I can understand. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be better understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, FIG. 1 is a front view of a plate provided by U.S. Pat. No. 3,298,881 showing an embossed sample of a biological specimen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is a method of transferring a biological image onto leather, using a special method as described in US Pat. No. 3,298,881. In this case, only the transfer plate of FIG. It has been found that this particular type of transfer plate can very economically and faithfully form the type of imprint that the plate can receive and transfer, and that the transfer plate can It was manufactured solely for the purpose of preserving images of biological specimens for study and viewing in a monochromatic, flat, monolithic form. After wetting selected portions of the leather with water, as shown in FIG. 2, the irregularities of FIG. 3 formed by the plate of US Pat. No. 3,298,881, as shown in FIG. Place the damp leather on the statue with the smooth side down. Next, the leather and plate of FIG. 3 are placed in the press of FIG. 4, and as shown in FIG. 5, equal pressure is applied to the entire surface of the plate and leather described above. This can be done with a press meeting this need, using pressures of 50 tons or more. Lower pressures may be used, but the higher the pressure, the shorter the time required to form the biological image from each plate onto the leather as the desired transferred raised inscription. After the pressure is removed, the leather is removed from the plate of FIG. 6 and allowed to dry, thereby stabilizing the transferred image. Knowing both the degree of perception of the design by the biological image and its degree of fidelity by applying one or more leather dye coatings on the image transferred onto the dried leather of FIG. Can be. The raised image formed on selected portions of the leather is very fine, and when the blotting felt is moved transversely at a suitable pressure, only the finer details of the relief (eg, the blood vessels of the butterfly wing) are colored. Thus, a three-dimensional effect is achieved while expressing the complexity of each detail of the sample (FIG. 8). Although the present invention has been described with reference to one preferred device that embodies the spirit and principles of the present invention and achieves its various objects and goals, it will be understood and apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is intended that the scope of the invention be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
