Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a replaceable multifunctional illuminated light of the present invention. Reference numeral 11 denotes a frame of the illumination light, which forms a main skeleton of the illumination light. As a material,
Materials such as wood, metal, plastic can be used,
Grooves are provided in all the frames, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view thereof. By providing 14 grooves, 12, 13
The material plate can be replaced.

As for the replacement method, there is a replacement method from the side as shown in FIG. 2 or a replacement method from the top as shown in FIG. 3, and it is preferable to select a replacement method suitable for the purpose and shape of the illuminated lighting. In other words, any structure can be used as long as the resin plate can be replaced. Moreover, its shape is not limited to the box shape shown in FIG.
A shape such as a circular shape or a triangular shape can be used as long as it has a function of the groove of 4, and a box shape is preferable from the viewpoint of easy processing. The width of the groove depends on the width of the material plate, but normally 0.2 mm ~
6 mm is preferable and 0.5 mm-4 mm is more preferable.

Next, A to D are light-transmissive material plates, and as the material, paper, cloth, resin plate or the like which can transmit light can be used. A plate is preferable, and a resin plate is more preferable in terms of ease of processing and light transmittance. The resin plate is preferably a resin plate selected from the group of thermoplastic resins such as PMMA resin, ABS resin and vinyl chloride resin. As described later, PMMA resin is more preferable from the viewpoint of easy printing and easy processing. Also A
The resin plates of ~ D can be used from film-like ones such as Warron coated with resin on both sides of Washi paper to plate-like ones, and the thickness thereof is the groove of the frame for forming the above-mentioned illumination lighting. 0.2mm ~ depending on the width
6 mm is preferable, and 0.5 mm-4 mm is more preferable.

The method of printing an image on the resin plate will be described. The printing method is roughly divided into plate printing,
It is classified into two types of plateless printing, and either printing method can be used. The typical printing method of plate printing is mainly silk printing,
There is gravure printing and the like, and the current printing method of images printed on the illumination lighting is mainly image printing by silk printing of plate printing. However, plate printing requires a plate for the pattern, and if multicolor printing is to be performed, it is necessary to manufacture a plate according to the number of colors, so that there are many types of products and small lots, as in today's world. The cost of the product is high boiling, and because the printing ink used for plate printing uses thermosetting ink, photocurable ink such as UVA, etc., it is difficult to dry and it is difficult to remove the image. Therefore, the printing method used in the present invention is preferably a plateless printing method.

As a printing method represented by plateless printing, an electrophotographic apparatus including an electronic copying system is used. In this method, an image capable of imparting a function of illumination lighting is made to face an image formed by an electrophotographic device on a transfer sheet with a resin plate for illumination lighting, and heat and pressure are applied to the resin plate. A full color image is printed on.

The toner mounted on the electrophotographic apparatus will be described. Basically, a binder resin mainly composed of a resin such as a styrene-acrylic copolymer, a styrene-butadiene copolymer, an epoxy resin or a polyester resin, and a carbon black is used. Besides, electrophotographic toners containing dyes and pigments such as yellow, cyan and magenta can be used. Among them, the color toners shown below are particularly suitable for printing on the resin plate forming the illuminated lighting of the present invention.

The toner powder for this color electrophotographic apparatus is
It is necessary to have good meltability and color mixing property when heat is applied, and a sharp melt toner having a low softening point and a short melting time is preferable.

By using a sharp melt toner, the color reproduction range of the copy can be widened and a color copy faithful to the multicolor image of the original can be satisfactorily obtained.

Such sharp-melt toners include, for example, binder resin such as polyester resin or styrene-acrylic resin, colorant (dye, sublimable dye),
A toner is manufactured by melt-kneading, pulverizing, and classifying a charge control agent and the like. Considering the fixability and the sharp melt property, the color toner preferably uses a polyester resin as the binder resin.

As described above, since the toner mounted in the electrophotographic apparatus is a dry toner mainly composed of polyester resin, an image can be printed without damaging the resin plate forming the illumination light, and Since it is easy to remove an image, it is more preferable to print on an illuminated light by an electrophotographic device. Printing with an electrophotographic device is easy if anyone can easily print an image without the need for a plate, so it's easy if you can replace the illuminated lighting cover. It is possible to have interior functions such as feeling.

Further, according to the present invention, since the resin plate can be reused by removing the image printed on the resin plate of the lighting cover, the resin plate can be reused. By separating the resin plate and the printing material, industrial waste, etc. It has become easier to recycle, which is a problem for the environment. As the removing liquid, it is preferable to use a mixed liquid of an aromatic solvent and a lower alcohol.
