【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、転写紙などの担体に印刷された写真や絵や文字等の画像を圧や熱を利用して衣服や布帛などの繊維材へ転写する熱転写用プレス機に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、キャラクターの絵や文字または写真等をTシャツなどの衣服に転写して、キャラクター入り等のTシャツを製造する場合、熱転写により製造する方法がある。これは、支持台の上にTシャツなどの衣服を広げ、前記衣服の上にキャラクターの絵や文字の印刷された基材フィルム(または転写紙等の担体)を衣服の所定位置に合わせて配置し、基材フィルムをアイロン等で加熱して衣服に前記絵や文字を転写するものである。
工場等で多量に熱転写を行う場合には、固定された支持台上に衣服、基材フィルムの順に配置した後、支持台の上方に昇降可能に設けられた大型のアイロンを手動で引き下げて基材フィルムに押し当てる、或いはスイッチで自動的に昇降するように形成されている場合は前記スイッチの切り替えによって押し当てる等の方法で行っている。
さらに、固定部と可動部とを構成部位として備え、可動部が一部で支持されて開閉する開閉方式転写装置で、前記固定部上に衣服、基材フィルムの順に配置し可動部を閉めることで、圧およびまたは熱によって、基材フイルム上の画像を衣服等の繊維材に転写する装置も広く使用されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、広く使用されている、転写に効率よく使用できる、固定部と可動部とを構成部位として備えた熱転写用プレス機で、例えば、前記固定部上に衣服、転写紙等担体の順に配置し可動部を固定部に圧接せしめることで、圧およびまたは熱によって、担体上の画像を衣服等の繊維材に転写する装置においては、可動部が一部で支持されて開閉することで固定部との間で熱圧を衣服、担体に付与する機構上、可動部に備えたヒーターが作業者に接触する可能性が高く、火傷等を負う場合があり非常に問題があった。
さらに、衣服等の繊維材の所定位置に担体上の画像を位置合わせして積載し、以後熱圧を加える際の、転写における位置合わせを安全に簡単で精確に行える装置が求められていた。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、固定部と可動部とを構成部位として備え、可動部が一部で支持されてなる熱転写用プレス機であって、写真や文字等の画像が形成された担体を被転写体である平坦繊維材に重ねて、前記固定部と可動部の間に配置し、圧およびまたは熱によって、担体上の画像を繊維材に転写する装置における画像を位置合わせの簡単さ、正確さが用意に得られ、かつ位置合わせ等の際に作業者に火傷等の危険を少なくすることができる熱転写用プレス機を提供するものである。
すなわち本発明は、少なくとも下部固定面部と上部可動面部とを構成部位として備え、上部可動面部が一部で支持されて開閉する開閉方式熱転写用プレス機であって、写真や文字等の画像が形成された担体を被転写体である平坦繊維材に重ねて、前記下部固定面部と上部可動面部との間に配置し、上部可動面部が閉状態なることで熱と圧によって、担体上の画像を繊維材に転写する熱転写用プレス機において、上部可動面部が少なくとも0度の閉状態から90度以上180度以下の開状態となる開閉状態が可能であることを特徴とする熱転写用プレス機であり、また光源と透光板とを付設装備し光源からの光が透光板を通過し、下部固定面部面上に一定位置決め用陰影を形成し得る機能を備えた前記の熱転写用プレス機である。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、具体的な実施形態に基づいて説明するが、本発明はかかる実施形態によって限定されるものではない。
本発明の、熱転写用プレス機における下部固定面部とは、当該部上で転写紙等の担体を被転写体である平坦繊維材の所定位置に重ねる作業を行う台でもあり、平坦面を有したものであり、鉄やアルミニウム等の平板にスペーサーや白布等を積載したものであり、加熱機能は備えてもよいが、作業者が作業を行う際の作業性などから、その最表面での表面温度が60℃を越えない程度の温度となるものである必要がある。またこの加熱機能はまったく備えないものであってもよいものであり、機能として水平移動と上下移動等の移動機能を有さないものであって、熱転写用プレス機において固定設置されたものである。
【0006】
本発明の、熱転写用プレス機における上部可動面部とは、当該部が下部固定面部上で、転写紙等の担体と被転写体である平坦繊維材とが所定位置で重ねられ、これらの下部固定面部、平坦繊維材、転写紙の積層に加熱と加圧を与え転写紙上の画像を繊維材に転写するものであり、平坦面を有したものであって、鉄やアルミニウム等の平板に必要に応じてスペーサーや白布等を積載したものであり、加熱機能を備え、その最表面での表面温度が130℃から220℃程度の温度となるものである必要がある。
またこの加熱機能に加えて、機能として熱転写用プレス機の一部に設けられた支点部で支えられての開閉機能を有するものである。
上記したように熱転写用プレス機は、下部固定面部上で、転写紙等の担体と被転写体である平坦繊維材とが所定位置で重ねられ、これらの下部固定面部、平坦繊維材、転写紙の積層されたものに、上部可動面部が加熱と加圧を与え転写紙上の画像を繊維材に転写するものであり、上部可動面部と下部固定面部とは転写時には面が相対し密接するものであり、転写の準備段階に相当する下部固定面部上で、被転写体である平坦繊維材と転写紙等の担体とを所定位置で重ねる作業時には、上部可動面部は下部固定面部から相対せずに離反する必要がある。
このため従来の公知の熱転写用プレス機においては、下部固定面部の一辺(作業者の作業側から最も離れた一辺)側に設けられた支点によって支えられて開閉する上部可動面部が開いた状態にすることで下部固定面部から離れた位置をとるようにされている。この開閉状態における開いた状態は、水平に位置する下部固定面部に対し上部可動面部がせいぜい従来は50度程度の角度を有してのものであった。そのため、転写の準備段階に相当する下部固定面部上で、被転写体である平坦繊維材と転写紙等の担体とを所定位置で重ねる作業時に、作業者がこの開いた加熱された上部可動面部に接触する可能性が極めて高くなるものであった。
【0007】
本発明における熱転写用プレス機の上部可動面部の有する開閉機能は、上記の公知の熱転写用プレス機の抱える課題を解決するものであり、少なくとも転写の準備段階に相当する下部固定面部上で、被転写体である平坦繊維材と転写紙等の担体とを所定位置で重ねる作業時には、上部可動面部が下部固定面部の面と90度以上180度の開状態をとることが必須である。
かかる開状態をとることで、上部可動面部の150どから220℃程度の温度になっている加熱された面が、常に作業者の作業範囲から離れ、作業者がこの加熱された面と接触する機会が激減し安全面での効果が大きいものとなる。
【0008】
本発明における熱転写用プレス機においては、前記したように、転写紙等の担体と被転写体である平坦繊維材とが所定位置で重ねられ、これらの下部固定面部、平坦繊維材、転写紙の積層に上部可動面部が加熱と加圧を与え転写紙上の画像を繊維材に転写し得る機能を有している。
この平坦繊維材上の所定位置に精確に画像が転写される必要がある場合には、物差し等を平坦繊維材上に置きその物差しに従って転写紙を位置合わせして重ねることで作業を行うことが従来採用されてきたが、物差しそのものが位置合わせに支障をきたす等不都合な場合が多かった。
そのため本発明においては、前記した本発明の熱転写用プレス機に加えて、当該熱転写用プレス機に付設して、少なくとも光源と透光板とを装備し光源からの光が透光板を通過し、下部固定面部面上に一定位置決め用陰影を形成し得る機能を備えることで、かかる課題を解決した熱転写用プレス機としてもよいものである。
【0009】
本発明における光源は、必要なら屈曲可能な支持体に光源を配することで、作業に支障の無い位置に自由に光源を配置可能としたものでもよく、固定位置に光源を配したものでもよいものであり、必要に応じて集光や光拡散が可能なレンズ等を付設してもよいものである。
本発明における透光板は、例えば透明フイルムや透明シートに光不透過性の黒色等で適当な間隔で縦横に直線を引いたものや、透明フイルムや透明シートに光不透過性の黒色等で、被転写材である平坦繊維材の形状に相応する線と予め画像転写位置が決められた位置に曲線およびまたは直線を描いたものが挙げられる、 これらの透光板は光源と下部固定面部の間に配設し、その透光板に描かれた直線や曲線が陰影として下部固定面部の面上に形成され位置合わせに供され、しかも厚さ等物理的形状を持たないため、準備段階作業における支障が全く生じない効果を本発明の熱転写用プレス機に付加するものである。
【0010】
本発明の熱転写用プレス機においては、下部固定面部に必要に応じて、スペーサーを積層・設置し、下部固定面部と上部可動面部との相対する面における圧接時の圧力並びに温度の均一化を一層向上させることができる、このスペーサーは、例えば、最大厚さが10mm以下好ましくは5mm以下の板状体であり、厚さが一辺部において最小で当該一辺に対向する一辺で最大であるように変化している板状体であり、熱転写用プレス機における上下両面の相対面の不均一を補うものであれば特に限定されるものではない。
具体的に説明すれば、本発明の熱転写用プレス機のプレス面である下部固定面部または上部可動面部の小さい方の面積、形状にほぼ等しいものである薄い板状のものであり、例えばその厚さが一方(開閉される支持部のある辺と対向する辺が相対する方向における)から他方に向けて徐々に変化しているものである。例えば▲1▼40cmかける30cmの長方形であり、長辺の一辺の厚さが0.5mmで長辺の一方から他方に向かい徐々に厚さが変化して、他長辺の一辺における厚さが3mmであり、短辺方向での厚さの変化がない板材、▲2▼上記例と短辺方向に左右同形で中央部が最大厚さを有するような円弧状である以外同じ数値である板材が挙げられる。本発明のスペーサーを構成する材料は、転写時の温度が最高で220℃、時間が100秒程度であることからして、少なくとも220℃に耐え得る材質のものが好ましく、かかる性質をもったものであれば特に限定はされないが、耐熱性フッ素系樹脂、シリコーン系樹脂、銅板、アルミニウム板、鉛板、天然ゴム板、耐熱性合成ゴム板材、木板等が適宜選択使用できる。
【0011】
【実施例】
*実施例1
アルミニウム製下部固定面部を長辺約50cm短辺約40cmとし、アルミニウム製上部可動面部の形状も固定部に同じくし、長辺部の一辺に移動機能支持部を設置し、上部可動面部が最大120度に開けるようにし20度の開状態である第一開状態と120度の開状態である第二開状態とができるようにした開閉機能を設け、上部可動面部にはその内部に、加熱機能であるヒーターと測温機能とヒーター制御機能を埋め込んで、最高230℃にその最表面温度が上昇維持し得るようにし、熱転写用プレス機を作成した。
この下部固定面部に木綿布帛をカバーとして配設し、上部可動面部面には耐熱性カーボン入りフイルムをカバーとして配設し、かつ光源、レンズ、透光板を熱転写用プレス機の移動機能支持部に併設して設けた別の支持体に装備した。
一方、CMYおよび黒の4色の昇華性染料インクを使用し、インクジェットプリンターで、原画像である風景写真をコンピューターに取り込み色調整して、A−4の大きさで転写紙に印刷した。この転写紙印刷面をポリエステル・木綿のダブルニットで表がポリエステルであるTシャツのポリエステル表地腹部側に、光源からの光によって形成した下部固定面部面上に陰影の転写紙画像位置合わせ部に重ね、上記熱転写用プレス機の下部固定面部木綿布帛上にTシャツ、転写紙の順で載置した、この転写準備段階である載置時には、上部可動面部は第一開状態を経て第二開状態である120度開いた状態にあり、下部固定面部上から外れた位置にある。
上部可動面部の温度を195℃に設定し、当該温度が設定温度に上昇維持されているのを確認し、上部可動面部を開閉の閉の作動を行わせ、第一開状態にし再度下部固定面部に載置したTシャツ、転写紙の位置を確認し、その後閉状態にして、上部可動面部と下部固定面部とを圧接して、60秒間プレスし、印刷された転写紙上の画像をTシャツに昇華転写し、60秒後に第一開状態次いで第二開状態して上部可動面部を元の位置に戻し、転写捺染Tシャツを得た。
得られた転写捺染Tシャツにおける画像は鮮明であり、かつ画像の転写位置が精確に合致されており、さらに作業者の作業性は極めてよく、上部可動面部に接触する危険が殆どないものであった。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a thermal transfer press for transferring an image such as a photograph, a picture or a character printed on a carrier such as transfer paper to a fiber material such as clothing or cloth using pressure or heat.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a character picture, character, photograph, or the like is transferred to clothing such as a T-shirt to manufacture a T-shirt including a character, there is a method of manufacturing by thermal transfer. In this method, clothes such as a T-shirt are spread on a support table, and a base film (or a transfer paper or the like) on which a picture or a character of a character is printed is placed on the clothes in accordance with a predetermined position of the clothes. Then, the base film is heated with an iron or the like to transfer the pictures and characters to clothes.
If a large amount of thermal transfer is performed at a factory or the like, after arranging the clothes and the base film in this order on a fixed support, the large iron that can be raised and lowered above the support is manually pulled down to remove the base.

In a device that transfers an image on a carrier to a textile material such as clothing by pressure and / or heat by placing and moving the movable part against the fixed part, the movable part is partially supported and fixed by opening and closing. Due to the mechanism for applying heat pressure to the clothes and the carrier between the parts, there is a high possibility that the heater provided in the movable part will come into contact with the worker, which may cause burns and the like, which is very problematic.
Further, there has been a demand for a device which can safely and simply and accurately perform the alignment in the transfer when the image on the carrier is aligned and loaded on a predetermined position of a fiber material such as clothes, and thereafter a heat pressure is applied.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a thermal transfer press machine comprising a fixed part and a movable part as constituent parts, and a movable part is partially supported, wherein a carrier on which an image such as a photograph or a character is formed is a transferred body. Simple and accurate positioning of the image in the device that transfers the image on the carrier to the fibrous material by pressure and / or heat and placed on a flat fiber material and placed between the fixed part and the movable part is provided. And a press machine for thermal transfer which can reduce the risk of burns and the like to the operator during alignment and the like.
That is, the present invention is an opening / closing type thermal transfer press including at least a lower fixed surface portion and an upper movable surface portion as constituent parts, and the upper movable surface portion is partially supported and opened and closed, and forms images such as photographs and characters. The carrier is superimposed on the flat fiber material to be transferred, placed between the lower fixed surface portion and the upper movable surface portion, heat and pressure by the upper movable surface portion is closed, the image on the carrier, A thermal transfer press machine for transferring to a fibrous material, wherein the upper movable surface portion can be opened and closed from an at least 0 degree closed state to an open state of 90 degrees or more and 180 degrees or less. The heat transfer press machine further includes a light source and a light-transmitting plate, and has a function of allowing light from the light source to pass through the light-transmitting plate and form a fixed positioning shadow on the lower fixed surface portion surface. .
[0005]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, description will be made based on specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to such embodiments.
The lower fixed surface portion in the thermal transfer press machine of the present invention is also a table on which a work such as a transfer paper is laid on a predetermined position of a flat fiber material as an object to be transferred on the portion, and has a flat surface. It is a product in which a spacer or white cloth is loaded on a flat plate of iron or aluminum, etc., and may have a heating function. It is necessary that the temperature does not exceed 60 ° C. Further, this heating function may not be provided at all, and does not have a moving function such as horizontal movement and vertical movement as a function, and is fixedly installed in a thermal transfer press machine. .
[0006]
The upper movable surface portion of the thermal transfer press of the present invention means that the portion is on a lower fixed surface portion, and a carrier such as transfer paper and a flat fiber material to be transferred are overlapped at a predetermined position. Heat and pressure are applied to the surface, flat fiber material, and transfer paper laminate to transfer the image on the transfer paper to the fiber material.It has a flat surface and is necessary for flat plates such as iron and aluminum. Accordingly, it is necessary to mount a spacer, a white cloth, or the like, and provide a heating function, and the surface temperature at the outermost surface thereof is to be about 130 ° C. to about 220 ° C.
Further, in addition to this heating function, it has an opening and closing function supported by a fulcrum provided in a part of the thermal transfer press.
As described above, the thermal transfer press machine is configured such that a carrier such as transfer paper and a flat fiber material as a transfer object are overlapped at a predetermined position on a lower fixed surface portion, and the lower fixed surface portion, the flat fiber material, and the transfer paper. The upper movable surface portion applies heat and pressure to transfer the image on the transfer paper to the fibrous material, and the upper movable surface portion and the lower fixed surface portion are surfaces that are opposed and closely contacted during transfer. On the lower fixed surface portion corresponding to the preparation stage of transfer, the upper movable surface portion does not face the lower fixed surface portion when the flat fiber material as the transfer target and the carrier such as transfer paper are overlapped at a predetermined position on the lower fixed surface portion. We need to separate.
For this reason, in the conventional well-known thermal transfer press, the upper movable surface portion, which is supported and supported by a fulcrum provided on one side of the lower fixed surface portion (one side farthest from the working side of the worker), opens and closes. By doing so, a position away from the lower fixed surface portion is taken. In the open state in the open / close state, the upper movable surface has an angle of at most about 50 degrees with respect to the lower fixed surface located horizontally. Therefore, when the flat fibrous material to be transferred and the carrier such as the transfer paper are overlapped at a predetermined position on the lower fixed surface portion corresponding to the preparation stage of the transfer, the operator moves the heated upper movable surface portion which is opened. The possibility of contact with the substrate became extremely high.
[0007]
The opening / closing function of the upper movable surface portion of the thermal transfer press according to the present invention solves the problems of the above-described known thermal transfer press, and at least is provided on the lower fixed surface corresponding to the preparation stage of transfer. At the time of stacking a flat fiber material as a transfer body and a carrier such as transfer paper at a predetermined position, it is essential that the upper movable surface portion is open at 90 degrees or more and 180 degrees with the surface of the lower fixed surface portion.
By taking such an open state, the heated surface of the upper movable surface, which is at a temperature of about 220 ° C. from 150 degrees, is always separated from the working range of the worker, and the worker comes into contact with the heated surface. Opportunities are drastically reduced, and the effect on safety is great.
[0008]
In the thermal transfer press according to the present invention, as described above, the carrier such as the transfer paper and the flat fiber material as the object to be transferred are overlapped at a predetermined position, and the lower fixed surface portion, the flat fiber material, and the transfer paper are transferred. The upper movable surface portion has a function of applying heat and pressure to the laminate to transfer the image on the transfer paper to the fiber material.
If an image needs to be accurately transferred to a predetermined position on the flat fiber material, work can be performed by placing a ruler or the like on the flat fiber material, aligning the transfer paper according to the ruler, and stacking. Although conventionally employed, in many cases, the ruler itself is inconvenient, such as hindering alignment.
Therefore, in the present invention, in addition to the above-described thermal transfer press of the present invention, attached to the thermal transfer press, equipped with at least a light source and a light transmitting plate, light from the light source passes through the light transmitting plate. By providing a function of forming a fixed positioning shadow on the lower fixed surface portion surface, a thermal transfer press machine that solves such a problem may be provided.
[0009]
The light source in the present invention may be one in which the light source can be freely arranged at a position that does not hinder the work by arranging the light source on a bendable support, if necessary, or one in which the light source is arranged at a fixed position. And a lens or the like capable of condensing or diffusing light may be provided as necessary.
The light-transmitting plate in the present invention is, for example, a transparent film or a transparent sheet formed by drawing straight lines vertically and horizontally at an appropriate interval with light-impermeable black or the like, or a transparent film or a transparent sheet made of light-impermeable black or the like. A line corresponding to the shape of the flat fiber material to be transferred, and a curve or a straight line drawn at a position where the image transfer position is determined in advance.These translucent plates include a light source and a lower fixing surface portion. It is placed in the middle, and the straight lines and curves drawn on the translucent plate are formed as shadows on the surface of the lower fixed surface part and are used for alignment, and have no physical shape such as thickness, so preparation work Is added to the thermal transfer press of the present invention.
[0010]
In the thermal transfer press of the present invention, spacers are stacked and installed on the lower fixed surface as necessary, to further uniformize the pressure and temperature at the time of press contact on the surfaces opposed to the lower fixed surface and the upper movable surface. This spacer, which can be improved, is, for example, a plate-like body having a maximum thickness of 10 mm or less, preferably 5 mm or less, and changes so that the thickness is minimum on one side and maximum on one side opposite to the one side. It is not particularly limited as long as it compensates for non-uniformity of the relative upper and lower surfaces of the thermal transfer press machine.
To be more specific, the lower fixed surface portion or the upper movable surface portion, which is the press surface of the thermal transfer press of the present invention, is a thin plate-like material that is almost equal in shape to the smaller area, for example, its thickness. Is gradually changed from one side (in a direction in which a side opposite to a side of the supporting portion to be opened / closed faces the other side) toward the other side. For example, (1) a rectangle of 40 cm times 30 cm, the thickness of one side of the long side is 0.5 mm, the thickness gradually changes from one side of the long side to the other side, and the thickness of one side of the other long side is A plate having a thickness of 3 mm and having no change in thickness in the short-side direction; (2) a plate having the same numerical values as the above example except that it has the same shape as the left and right sides in the short-side direction and an arc shape having a maximum thickness at the center. Is mentioned. The material constituting the spacer of the present invention is preferably a material capable of withstanding at least 220 ° C., since the temperature at the time of transfer is a maximum of 220 ° C. and the time is about 100 seconds, and has such properties. The material is not particularly limited as long as it is heat-resistant fluororesin, silicone resin, copper plate, aluminum plate, lead plate, natural rubber plate, heat-resistant synthetic rubber plate, wood plate, or the like.
