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、熱および圧によって、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、衣服等の繊維材の所定位置に転写紙等の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繊維製品や布帛等の平坦材に重ねて、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、担体上の画像を平坦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、上部可動部が一部で支持されて作動し、下部固定面部に対し解離と圧接とが可能な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材に重ねて、前記下部固定面部と上部可動面部の間に配置し、両部が圧接することで熱と圧が担体に加えられ、担体上の画像を平坦材に転写する熱転写用プレス機であり、当該熱転写プレス機に光源と投影板とを付設装備し、光源からの光が投影板を透過もしくは反射し、投影板に描かれた線部もしくは点部が下部固定面部面上に一定位置決め用線部もしくは点部の陰影として形成し得る機能を備えたことを特徴とする熱転写用プレス機であり、また上部可動部の下部固定面部に対する解離と圧接とを可能とする作動が、上部可動面部と下部固定面部が面平行な状態での上下可動、上部可動面部と下部固定面部が面平行な状態での水平移動、上部可動面部と下部固定面部とが一部支点による開閉から選ばれた作動の二種以上の組み合わせである請求項1記載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り、この移動機能を有さないことが、転写の前段階または準備段階である転写紙等の担体と繊維材との位置合わせを実施した後は、これらの積層されたものを動かすことで折角の位置合わせをずらすことがないように、熱転写用プレス機において固定設置されたものである必要がある。
【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、繊維製品等の平坦材、転写紙の積層されたものに加熱と加圧を与え転写紙上の画像を平坦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保護体(カバー)を積層したものであり、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。
【0007】
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材とが所定位置で重ねられ、これらの下部固定面部、平坦材、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製品等平坦材に転写し得る機能を有している。
この平坦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転写準備段階の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付設して、少なくとも光源と投影板とを装備し光源からの光が投影板を通過もしくは反射し、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を提供し得るものである。
【0008】
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。
本発明における投影板は、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、これらの投影板は、例えば、光源と下部固定面部の間に配設し、その投影板に描かれた直線や曲線や点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与するものである。
本発明における熱転写プレス機に光源と投影板とを付設装備し、光源からの光が投影板を透過もしくは反射し、投影板に描かれた非透光線部等が下部固定面部面上に一定位置決め用陰影として形成し得る機能を備えさすことで、上記位置合わせの困難さや接触危険の軽減の効果が生じる。
【0009】
本発明の熱転写用プレス機における上部可動面部は、下部固定面部に対し、水平回転、上下昇降、開閉の作動機能を備えたものであり、この開閉等作動機能によって、転写紙等の担体と被転写体である平坦材とが所定位置で重ねられた、この下部固定面部、平坦材、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平坦材に転写し得るものである。
開閉角度は0度から20度の開閉であることが好ましく、従来の50度程度の開状態単独の作動では、作業者がこの開状態の加熱されている上部可動面部に接触する可能性が高くなる。20度の開状態であれば、その可能性は極めて低くなるが、その開きが20度と小さくて位置合わせ等の作業が極めて困難になるが、水平摺動、水平回転等の水平移動や上下昇降等の上下作動との組み合わせによってその困難さは解消されるものである。
【0010】
本発明の熱転写用プレス機における上部可動面部は、上下移動機能、水平移動機能、開閉機能をそれぞれ単独で備えたものでもよいが、これらの二種以上の移動(作動)機能を組み合わせた移動機能をもつものが好ましい。
この上下移動機能は、例えば、開閉移動によって上部可動面部が下部固定面部上の相対する位置になったときに、上部可動面部が下方に垂直移動して下部固定面部に圧接されるようにすることや、水平移動によって上部可動面部が下部固定面部上の所定位置になったときに、上部可動面部が下方に垂直移動して下部固定面部に圧接されるようにすることが挙げられる。
【0011】
水平移動機能は、上部可動面部が下部固定面部の面の垂直方向(上方向)からその大部分もしくは全てが除外された状態になるように例えば回転等で移動することであり、例えば、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、水平位置で回転することや、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)側に設けられた支持体に支えられて水平摺動すること等が挙げられる。
かかる水平移動することで、上部可動面部の150℃から220℃程度の温度になっている加熱された面が下方をむいたままで、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。
開閉機能は、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し、上部可動面部が閉まった状態にすることで下部固定面部に圧接される動作等である。
【0012】
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。
【0013】
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。
【0014】
【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20度に開けるようにした開閉機能を設け、さらにこの移動機能支持部に最大120度の範囲で上部可動面部が回転水平移動ができる機能を設け、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耐熱性フッ素樹脂フイルムをカバーとして配設し、かつ光源、レンズ、投影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。

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、上部可動面部を回転させ0度の位置に戻し、開閉の閉の作動を行わせ、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ポリエステル繊維製布帛に昇華転写し、60秒後に上部可動面部を開けて、元の位置に回転させ戻し、転写捺染ポリエステル繊維製布帛を得た。
得られた転写捺染ポリエステル繊維製布帛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画像枠に合致しており、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。

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.However, due to workability when the worker performs work, the surface temperature at the outermost surface is Must be a temperature not exceeding 60 ° C. Further, the 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. After the alignment of the carrier such as the transfer paper and the fibrous material at the stage or the preparation stage, the thermal transfer press machine is operated so that the alignment of the bending angle is not shifted by moving these laminated materials. Must be fixedly installed.
[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, the flat material such as textiles, and the transfer paper laminated to transfer the image on the transfer paper to the flat material.It has a flat surface and is made of iron or aluminum. It is necessary that the protective body (cover) be laminated on a flat plate such as the one described above, which has a heating function, and that the surface temperature at the outermost surface thereof be about 130 ° C. to 220 ° C.
[0007]
In the thermal transfer press according to the present invention, as described above, the carrier such as the transfer paper and the flat material as the object to be transferred are overlapped at a predetermined position, and the lower fixed surface portion, the flat material, and the transfer paper are laminated. The upper movable surface has a function of applying heat and pressure to transfer the image on the transfer paper to a flat material such as a textile.
If an image needs to be accurately transferred to a predetermined position on the flat material, a work in a transfer preparation stage of placing a ruler or the like on the flat material and aligning and overlapping the transfer papers according to the ruler may be performed. Although conventionally employed, in many cases, the ruler itself is inconvenient, such as hindering alignment.
Therefore, in the present invention, the heat transfer press of the present invention is provided with at least a light source and a projection plate, and light from the light source passes or is reflected by the projection plate, and is fixedly positioned on the lower fixed surface portion surface. By providing a function of forming a shadow for use, a press machine for thermal transfer that solves the above problem can be provided.
[0008]
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.

[0009]
The upper movable surface portion of the thermal transfer press machine of the present invention has horizontal rotation, up / down movement, and opening / closing operation functions with respect to the lower fixed surface portion. By this opening / closing operation function, a carrier such as transfer paper is covered. An upper movable surface that applies heat and pressure to a stack of the lower fixed surface portion, the flat material, and the transfer paper on which a flat material as a transfer body is superimposed at a predetermined position, thereby transferring an image on the transfer paper to the flat material. It is.
The opening / closing angle is preferably from 0 to 20 degrees, and in the conventional operation of the open state alone of about 50 degrees, there is a high possibility that the worker contacts the heated upper movable surface in the open state. Become. If the opening is 20 degrees, the possibility is extremely low, but the opening is as small as 20 degrees, which makes it extremely difficult to perform operations such as positioning. The difficulty is eliminated by a combination with a vertical operation such as lifting and lowering.
[0010]
The upper movable surface portion of the thermal transfer press of the present invention may have a vertical movement function, a horizontal movement function, and an opening / closing function independently, but may have a movement function combining two or more of these movement (operation) functions. Are preferred.
The up-down movement function is, for example, such that when the upper movable surface portion comes to an opposing position on the lower fixed surface portion by opening and closing movement, the upper movable surface portion moves vertically downward and is pressed against the lower fixed surface portion. Alternatively, when the upper movable surface portion reaches a predetermined position on the lower fixed surface portion due to horizontal movement, the upper movable surface portion may be vertically moved downward to be pressed against the lower fixed surface portion.
[0011]
The horizontal movement function is to move the upper movable surface portion by, for example, rotation so that most or all of the upper movable surface portion is excluded from the vertical direction (upward direction) of the surface of the lower fixed surface portion. It is supported by a fulcrum provided on one side of the surface (one side farthest from the worker's working side) and rotates in a horizontal position, and one side of the lower fixed surface portion (one side farthest from the worker's working side) ) And horizontal sliding supported by a support provided on the side.
By such horizontal movement, the heated surface of the upper movable surface, which is at a temperature of about 150 ° C. to about 220 ° C., always leaves the working range of the worker while facing downward, and the worker is heated. The chances of contact with the surface are drastically reduced, and the effect on safety is great.
The opening and closing function is supported by a fulcrum provided on one side of the lower fixed surface (the side farthest from the worker's working side) to open and close, and the upper movable surface is closed to press against the lower fixed surface. Operation to be performed.
[0012]
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.
[0013]
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.

【Example】
* Example 1
The lower fixed surface made of aluminum has a long side of about 50 cm and a shorter side of about 40 cm, the shape of the upper movable surface made of aluminum is the same as the fixed part, and a movable function support is installed on one side of the long side, and the upper movable surface has a maximum of 20 parts. An opening / closing function is provided so that the upper movable surface can rotate and move horizontally within a range of up to 120 degrees. By embedding a heater, a temperature measuring function and a heater control function, the outermost surface temperature can be maintained at a maximum of 230 ° C., and a press machine for thermal transfer was produced.
A cotton fabric is provided as a cover on the lower fixed surface, a heat-resistant fluororesin film containing heat-resistant carbon is provided as a cover on the upper movable surface, and a light source, a lens, and a projection plate are moved by a thermal transfer press. Equipped with another support provided alongside the functional support.
On the other hand, using the four sublimable dye inks of C, M, Y (blue, red, yellow) and K (black), the original image of the animal (puppy) is taken into the computer by an inkjet printer and color adjusted. Then, printing was performed on transfer paper in the size of A-4. The transfer paper printing surface was formed on a polyester fiber fabric, on which the image frame and characters had been printed by batiking, by light from a light source, on the lower fixed surface portion surface and on the polyester fiber fabric. The transfer paper image of the shade drawn from the projection plate was superimposed on the image alignment portion, and the polyester fiber cloth and the transfer paper were placed in this order on the lower fixed surface portion (cotton cloth) of the thermal transfer press machine. During the transfer preparation stage, the upper movable surface portion is opened from the closed state, opened at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the lower fixed surface portion, and is rotated 110 degrees by horizontal rotation and detached from the lower fixed surface portion. In position.
[0015]
Set the temperature of the upper movable surface to 195 ° C., confirm that the temperature is maintained at the set temperature, rotate the upper movable surface to return to the 0 ° position, and perform the closing operation of opening and closing, The upper movable surface portion and the lower fixed surface portion are pressed against each other, pressed for 60 seconds, and the printed image on the transfer paper is sublimated and transferred to a polyester fiber fabric. After 60 seconds, the upper movable surface portion is opened and rotated to the original position. It was returned to give a transfer-printed polyester fiber fabric.
The resulting image on the transfer-printed polyester fiber fabric is clear, and the transfer position of the image exactly matches the image frame. Furthermore, the workability of the worker is extremely good, and there is a risk of contact with the upper movable surface. Almost none.
