Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transfer sheet, and more particularly to a transfer sheet used for applying a pattern such as a character or picture to a cloth product.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a transfer sheet applied to a cloth product such as a T-shirt, a transfer sheet of a mount coated with a film made of a thermoplastic resin adhesive such as an acrylic resin or a urethane resin has been applied. The thing which printed the pattern on the coating is used.

[0003] In the transfer, the surface of the printed pattern of the transfer sheet is pressed against the surface of the cloth product, and heat pressure is applied to the backing paper using an iron or the like, thereby softening the adhesive film and bonding the adhesive to the cloth product. This is done by letting After removal of the hot pressure, the backing is peeled from the adhesive coating adhered to the cloth product.

By the way, the adhesive film which is hardened after the removal of the heat pressure and is integrated with the cloth product loses the flexibility of the cloth product in the bonding area, and therefore, the comfort of the clothing is reduced. There is a disadvantage that the texture and the texture of the fabric product are damaged.

The disadvantage is that, for example, in order to reduce the area of adhesion of the adhesive coating to the cloth product, each element portion of the printed pattern is cut off from the entire transfer sheet along its periphery.
The problem can be solved by individually transferring the transfer sheet portion including each element.

However, since the separation of each element of the printed pattern has to be performed manually, there is a disadvantage that a great deal of time and labor is required.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a transfer sheet in which the adhesive area of an adhesive film on a fabric product is minimized.

[0008]

A transfer sheet according to the present invention comprises a backing sheet, a coating made of a thermoplastic resin adhesive applied to the backing sheet, and a coating on the coating by printing on the coating. And a non-adhesive masking film applied to and covering the adhesive coating around the printing ink film.

The masking film can be formed by printing on the adhesive film, and the material can be selected from a medium, an ink or a silicone resin.

In the present invention, the term "backing paper" is not limited to paper-made ones, but also includes those made of synthetic resins such as films.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the adhesive coating applied to the mount is covered with a non-adhesive masking film around the printing ink film which is a pattern printed on the mounting material. From the above, when applying heat pressure to the transfer sheet of the present invention, the surface of the printed pattern is directed to the cloth product to transfer the printed pattern to the cloth product, the coating of the adhesive, substantially, the printing Only the part of the ink film adheres to the cloth product, and the other parts covered by the masking film do not adhere to the cloth product.

[0012] As a result of eliminating the adhesion of the peripheral portion of the printing ink film, which is an extra portion of the adhesive coating, the area of adhesion of the adhesive coating to the cloth product can be minimized. For example, it is possible to realize the transfer in which the deterioration of the comfort and the texture of the clothing is remarkably reduced.

The application of the masking film to the adhesive film is performed by printing in the same manner as the application of the printing ink film, whereby the transfer sheet of the present invention can be manufactured more easily. As a printing material of the masking film,
Medium, ink or silicone based resins are suitable.

[0014]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a transfer sheet according to the present invention, which is applied to a cloth product such as clothing, is indicated by the reference numeral 10 as a whole.

The transfer sheet 10 includes a backing 12 made of paper, a plastic film or the like, and a coating 14 made of an adhesive applied to one entire surface of the backing 12.

The adhesive film 14 is made of a thermoplastic resin such as an acrylic resin or a urethane resin, and is relatively thin.
For example, it has a thickness of 1-2 μm. The coating 14 has the property of softening when heat is applied thereto from above the backing 12 using, for example, an iron, and adheres to the fabric, more specifically, the surface of the fabric.

A plurality of printing ink films 16 are applied on the adhesive coating 14 by printing on the coating to show a plurality of patterns. These printing ink films 16 are transferred to the surface of the cloth product by the adhesive film 14 being adhered to the surface of the cloth product, and are integrated with the cloth and occupy a part of the surface. The pattern represented by the printing ink film 16 is a thin film 1
You can see through 4.

In the illustrated example, a plurality of printing ink films (patterns) are used.
Numeral 16 consists of five alphabetic characters, "F", "I", "G", "H", and "T", which are spaced from each other and arranged in a line in an inverted state.

Depending on the selection, the printing ink film 16 may be one of English characters, other characters, pictures, drawings, or a combination thereof, or may be a single film.

Printing ink film 16 on adhesive coating 14
Is formed using a computer with the form (C
G) This can be done by printing on the surface of the coating 14 on the backing paper by outputting this to a printer.

In the present invention, the coating 14 of the adhesive is
Except for each printing ink film 16 and its peripheral portion, it is covered with a non-adhesive masking film 18 applied to the adhesive film 14. As a result, the adhesive film 14 is covered with the masking film 18 around the printing ink film 16.

The masking film 18 acts between the surface of the cloth product and the adhesive film 14 during transfer to the cloth product by the application of the heat pressure, and inhibits the adhesive function of the adhesive film 14. Eggplant Therefore, substantially only a part of the adhesive coating 14 coated with the printing ink film 16 adheres to the surface of the cloth product, and the other remaining parts do not adhere.

Thus, it is possible to minimize the adhesion of the excess portion of the adhesive film 14 and the accompanying texture and deterioration of the comfort of clothing.

The masking film 18 is formed by using a printing method.
It can be applied on the adhesive film 14. Thereby, the masking film 18 can be formed simultaneously with the printing ink film 16.

The peripheral portion of the printing ink film 16 is formed of a region extending along the contour of the printing ink film 16 at a slight distance from the contour of the printing ink film 16 (in the illustrated example, the contour of each English character). The presence of this region is not always necessary, but the presence of this region allows the printing ink film 16 and the masking film 18 to be present.
When printing at the same time, overlapping of these films can be prevented.

The masking film 18 is made of, for example, medium,
It can be made of ink, silicone resin or the like. The thickness dimension of the masking film 18 can be, for example, substantially the same size as the printing ink film 16.
