DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for imprinting, for example, a leather product or a nameplate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, when a trade name, a mark, a symbol, a name, or the like is written on a leather product such as a leather bag, a wallet, shoes, or a wood product such as a nameplate, a baked iron is used. In some cases, branding is performed, and as such a grilling iron, a metal-made one is widely used.

[0003]

However, the conventional metal-made ironing iron cannot be easily manufactured or branded easily by an individual, and fine lines and shapes are engraved. For example, it is difficult for an individual to easily brand his or her face, name, favorite mark, or the like on a wallet, bag, or the like for a hobby or the like. Also, conventional branding is
The color was monotonous because the material was merely colored brown.

[0004] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily make a stamp such as a face, a name, a favorite mark, etc. as a hobby, and to be able to color as needed.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a heat transfer rod made of metal connectable to a heating means, and a ceramic sintering body connected to the tip of the heat transfer rod. The iron was constituted so that the front face of the branding body was used as the stamp face.

Then, a heat transfer rod is connected to the heating means, and the heat sent from the heating means is transferred to the ceramic stamping body by the heat transmission rod, and the stamping face of the stamping body is pressed against the transfer surface to perform the stamping. In this case, as the branding body made of ceramic, for example, a body mainly composed of boron nitride is preferable. This is because, when a boron nitride ceramics is made into a stamped body, it is easy to machine by hand and can be easily carved when engraving a stamp, and even fine lines and letters can be carved delicately and neatly I can do it. Also, the heat transfer coefficient is close to that of iron at room temperature, and it is convenient because it has heat stability up to 2200 ° C. in an inert atmosphere and 950 ° C. in air. . In addition, the engraving of the seal may be performed by hand engraving, mechanical engraving, laser engraving, or other methods. Further, as the heat transfer rod, copper or the like which has good thermal conductivity and is easily available is suitable.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the heating means is a soldering iron capable of adjusting the temperature.

It is convenient and convenient to attach the ironing iron to the temperature-adjustable soldering iron and to perform the branding. However, a commercially available soldering iron can be obtained and the operation is easy. Is easy.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the contact area between the heat transfer rod and the branding body is set to be 10% or more of the area of the stamped surface of the branding body.

As described above, by setting the contact area between the heat transfer rod and the branding member to be 10% or more of the stamping surface, sufficient heat can be transferred to the entire stamping surface of the branding member, and the bonding strength can be sufficiently increased. Can be secured. On the other hand, when the contact area is 10% or less, heat transfer tends to be insufficient, and the bonding strength between the branding body and the electric heating rod tends to be insufficient. Incidentally, the joining structure of the heat transfer rod and the branding body is arbitrary.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, when the baking iron is pressed against the transfer surface and the printing is performed, a color thermal adhesive sheet is interposed between the transfer surface and the baking iron, and the thermal bonding sheet is bonded to the transfer surface. The part was colored.

If the heat bonding sheet is adhered to the transfer surface and the branding is colored in this manner, a novel and colorful branding that has never been seen before can be produced, and the decorative effect and the like can be enhanced. By the way, as a heat bonding sheet,
For example, a commercially available product obtained by laminating an adhesive color thermoplastic resin sheet and a non-adhesive cloth sheet, etc., and pressing a baking iron from the non-adhesive cloth sheet etc. side, only on the transfer surface side The colored sheet is adhered.

Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the grilling iron according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the grilling iron, FIG. 3 is another structural example of the joint structure between the electric heating rod and the branding body, and FIG. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing an example of engraving a stamp on a stamped surface of a body, FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a state in which a burning iron is connected to a soldering iron, FIG. FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing an example in which the body is cut out, FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing an example in which the body can be shared with a normal seal, and FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing a method of coloring a seal.

The grilling iron according to the present invention is capable of easily imprinting, for example, its own face or its favorite stamp shape, and is capable of expressing a delicate portion, and can be colored as necessary. This is characterized in that the branding body is made of ceramics.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the main ironing iron 1 includes a heat transfer rod 2 made of copper and a branding body 3 made of ceramics connected to the heat transmission rod 2. A stamp is engraved to form a stamp face 3a (FIG. 5). At this time, the shape of the branding body 3 may be square as shown in FIG. 1A, round as shown in FIG. 1B, or other shapes.

Here, the ceramic material of the branding body 3 is:
It is preferable that the ceramic material has good thermal conductivity and excellent machinability. In the embodiment, boron nitride (boron nitride) having a thermal conductivity close to that of iron at room temperature and excellent machinability is used. Ceramics are used, which are formed by sintering boron nitride fine powder to form a compact.

Incidentally, this boron nitride ceramic is
A ceramic material with a layered structure similar to a hexagonal graphite structure. It has a high heat transfer coefficient and excellent machinability as described above, and is extremely stable up to high temperatures, and has electrical insulation, lubrication, and release properties. It is also used as a crucible for melting metals, heat-resistant materials, insulating materials, etc., because it has excellent chemical stability that does not react with molten materials such as iron, copper, aluminum and silicon. It is.

The technique of engraving a seal on the stamp face 3a of the brand-of-printing body 3 is optional. For example, video shooting of a person's face or a face photograph is taken on the spot, and for example, as shown in FIG. 4, face processing is performed by fine processing such as laser processing based on a video still image or a face photograph. It is also possible to make a stamp of the place immediately.
Also, since letters and the like can be engraved neatly, it is also suitable for use in grilling irons for advertising and the like.

The heat transfer rod 2 may be made of any metal having good thermal conductivity, but is made of copper in the embodiment.

The heat transfer rod 2 and the branding body 3 are combined and integrated. The method of connecting the heat transfer rod 2 and the branding body 3 is arbitrary. For example, as shown in FIG. A female screw hole 3h may be formed on the back surface, a male screw portion 2t may be formed at the tip of the heat transfer rod 2, and a male screw portion 2t may be screwed into the female screw hole 3h and joined, or as shown in FIG. In the meantime, the connection may be made by a dovetail structure in which the dovetail p is fitted in the dovetail groove m, or may be made by another method. The area of the stamp face 3a of the branding body 3 is set to 10% or more.

Here, the contact area is 10 times of the area of the stamp face 3a.
The reason why it is set to be not less than% is that if it is less than this, there is a possibility that the uniform heat conductivity over the entire stamp face may be impaired, and the bonding strength between the heat transfer rod 2 and the stamping body 3 may be insufficient.

In the embodiment, the grilling iron 1 as described above is
As shown in FIG. 5, the apparatus is mounted on a soldering iron 4 as a heating means for use. The soldering iron 4 is made of, for example, a commercially available product whose temperature can be adjusted. After the temperature is increased to a predetermined temperature, the soldering iron 4 is transferred onto small items such as leather bags, wallets and shoes, and onto the transfer surface T of wood products such as a nameplate. By applying a branding i as shown in FIG. 6 by pressing, an unprecedented accessory effect can be obtained.

The branding body 3 as described above can also be in the form of a cut-out character as shown in FIG. In this case, for example, cut letters such as uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, hiragana, katakana, etc., of the alphabet are formed as the branding body 3 made of ceramics by molding or the like.
To join.

Further, the grilling iron 1 as described above may be used in common with a normal seal as shown in FIG. In this case, a cap 6 that is detachable from the heat transfer rod 2 is provided, and when used as a normal seal, the heat transfer rod 2 is used.
When used as a branding with the cap 6 covered, it is convenient to remove the cap 6 and attach it to the soldering iron 4. Of course, the cap 6 need not be used.

When it is desired to apply a color to the branding i, as shown in FIG. 9, a color thermal adhesive sheet 5 is interposed between the transfer surface T and the branding body 3 and pressed. here,
The thermal adhesive sheet 5 is a commercially available product in which an adhesive colored thermoplastic resin sheet and a non-adhesive cloth sheet are laminated, and the colored thermoplastic resin sheet side faces the transfer surface T side, A part in which the thermoplastic resin sheet pressed by the stamped surface 3a is adhered to the transfer surface by interposing the equal side toward the branding body 3, and at the same time, an inverted shape of the stamp is formed on the adhered thermoplastic resin sheet. It is.

At this time, it is also possible to locally change the color of the local area of the stamp and to color it. In this case, for example, a heat-bonding sheet of various colors according to the color to be colored and the shape of the spot Can be cut out and adhered to a stamp, and pressed against the transfer surface T to make a colorful branding i in which various colors are combined.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Those having substantially the same configuration as those described in the claims of the present invention and exhibiting the same operation and effect belong to the technical scope of the present invention. For example, the design of the seal is not limited to the face, but may be a mark, a figure, a character, a pattern, or the like, and the heating means is not limited to the soldering iron 4.

[0028]

As described above, the grilled iron according to the present invention is
Composed of a metal heat transfer rod connectable to the heating means, and a ceramic branding body coupled to the tip of the heat transfer rod,
Since the front surface of the branding body is used as the printing surface, for example, if the branding body is mainly composed of boron nitride, it can be machined easily, and fine lines and shapes can be carved neatly. But it can be neatly branded. If the heating means is a soldering iron capable of adjusting the temperature, it can be easily obtained and easily operated by anyone. Further, when the contact area between the heat transfer rod and the branding member is set to be 10% or more of the area of the stamping surface of the branding member, sufficient heat can be transferred to the entire stamping surface of the branding member. And the bonding strength between the branding body and the electric heating rod can be sufficiently ensured. In addition, when the burning iron is pressed against the transfer surface, a color thermal adhesive sheet is interposed between the transfer surface and the burning iron, and the thermal adhesive sheet is adhered to the transfer surface to color the branding portion. If this is the case, it will be possible to produce novel and colorful brands that have never been seen before, and the fun will increase.
