  By the way, when printing such as screen printing is performed on a light reflecting sheet body using such glass beads as a light reflecting material, the printing ink applied to the surface of the light reflecting sheet body is applied to the surface of the light reflecting material such as glass beads. Since it covers, the light reflection function of the light reflection sheet | seat body 10 will decline, and the problem of inhibiting the light reflection characteristic which is the original function of a light reflection sheet | seat body arises. For this reason, when a figure or a character is printed on the light reflecting sheet body, it must be used in a limited manner such as printing on a part of the light reflecting sheet body, and the light reflecting sheet body is used in design. Conventionally, the method has been limited to a method in which the light reflecting sheet is cut into a predetermined shape and sewn to clothing or the like.

However, the method of using the light reflecting sheet body by cutting it into a predetermined figure or character shape is a great limitation in terms of design, so it is not used for general clothing except for special applications. There wasn't.
The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems in such a conventional light reflecting sheet body, and the object thereof is excellent without impairing the light reflecting function of the conventional light reflecting sheet body. By using a light-reflective printed fabric having a good design, an object using a light-reflective printed fabric that can be suitably used for general clothing and the like is provided.

The present invention has the following configuration in order to achieve the above object.
That is, a light reflecting material that is not dyed by sublimation ink is formed using a light reflective printed fabric formed by sublimation printing a figure on a light reflecting sheet formed by adhering to the surface of a substrate. Features.

Further, a light-reflective printed fabric obtained by sublimation printing on the light-reflecting sheet body with the same pattern as the fabric material forming the article was formed using a part of the fabric material forming the article. It is characterized by that. In addition, when printing the same pattern as the fabric material of the product on the light-reflective printed fabric, it is desirable to use the same color as the fabric material of the product, but it is difficult to make the display color exactly the same. It doesn't matter if they are different.
In addition, when using the light-reflective printed fabric as a fabric material, the design of the product can be provided without losing the design by matching the pattern of the product with the pattern of the light-reflective printed fabric. There is an advantage that you can.

In addition, since the article is a tie and the light-reflective printed fabric is used as a part of the tie fabric, it can be provided as a novel tie having a light-reflecting function without impairing the appearance of the tie.
In addition, since the article is a skirt and the light-reflective printed fabric is used as a part of the skirt fabric, the skirt design is used as a characteristic exterior skirt having a light-reflecting function without impairing the design of the skirt. Can be provided.

  The article using the light-reflective printed fabric according to the present invention is a product formed using the light-reflective material by using the light-reflective printed fabric. It can be provided as a product that is not damaged, and can be provided as an article having excellent visibility at night or the like by the effective light reflection function of the light reflective printed fabric.

A fabric article using the light-reflective printed fabric according to the present invention was obtained by printing (transferring) a design figure such as a pattern or a character on a light-reflective sheet using a so-called sublimation printing (sublimation transfer) method. Is.
In the following, first, a method for producing a light-reflective printed fabric by printing a figure on a light-reflective sheet body using a sublimation printing method, and a light-reflective property obtained by applying the sublimation printing method to a light-reflective sheet member The operation of the printed fabric will be described.

FIG. 1 shows a method of printing on the light reflecting sheet body 10 using a sublimation printing method.
Fig.1 (a) shows the structure of the light reflection sheet | seat body 10 which prints a required figure by the sublimation printing method. The light reflecting sheet body 10 is a bead-exposed type in which glass beads 13 as a light reflecting material are attached to the surface of a base material 11 such as a plastic sheet or a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric made of chemical fibers by an adhesive layer 12. This is a light reflecting sheet body 10. The glass beads 13 are bonded to the adhesive layer 12 so as to be partially embedded in the adhesive layer 12.

  The sublimation printing method is a method of printing by transferring a figure from the transfer paper to the light reflecting sheet body 10. First, a pattern such as a pattern and characters printed on the light reflecting sheet body 10 is printed using sublimation ink. Prepared transfer paper 20 is prepared. Sublimation inks have the property of being vaporized by heating, entering into the molecular structure of the transfer object, and being dyed, and various sublimation inks are provided. As a method of printing on the transfer paper 20 using sublimation ink, a method of printing using an ink jet printer is simple. Any method using an ink jet printer can print an arbitrary figure, and color printing is also easy.

The transfer paper may be printed one by one or may be printed on a long transfer paper. When printing on a long body, it can be printed in a continuous pattern or a repeated pattern.
When transferred onto the transfer medium by sublimation printing, the figure (pattern) is opposite to the figure on the transfer paper 20, so when transferring characters or the like, it is necessary to print on the transfer paper 20 with the reverse letter. There is.

  A feature of printing on the light reflecting sheet body 10 by the sublimation printing method is that a figure can be transferred to the entire surface of the light reflecting sheet body 10. That is, when a pattern or the like is printed on the transfer paper 20 using sublimation ink, the pattern may be set so as to be transferred over the entire surface of the light reflecting sheet body 10.

FIG. 1B shows a transfer paper 20 on which a graphic such as a required pattern is printed using sublimation ink, and a printed surface of the sublimation ink 22 on a surface on which the glass beads 13 of the light reflecting sheet body 10 are attached. The state of being aligned and facing each other is shown.
In FIG. 1 (c), the light reflection sheet body 10 and the transfer paper 20 are sandwiched between the heating plate 30 and the support plate 31, and the printing portion using the sublimation ink 22 is transferred from the transfer paper 20 to the light reflection sheet body 10. The state which exists is demonstrated. By applying pressure to the transfer paper 20 and the light reflecting sheet body 10 with the heating plate 30 and the support plate 31 and heating the transfer paper 20 with the heating plate 30, the sublimation ink 22 printed on the transfer paper 20 is sublimated. Thus, the figure printed on the transfer paper 20 is copied onto the light reflecting sheet body 10 as it is. In addition, the heating temperature of the transfer paper 20 at the time of transfer is about 200 ° C., and the heating time is about 30 seconds.

  FIG. 1D shows a state in which a figure is transferred from the transfer paper 20 to the light reflecting sheet body 10 by the sublimation printing method. By performing sublimation printing on the light reflecting sheet body 10, the sublimation ink printed on the transfer paper 20 is transferred to the substrate 11 as a sublimation printing portion 22a. At this time, since the glass beads 13 are not dyed by the sublimation ink 22, the surface of the glass beads 13 remains in the state before printing. That is, when sublimation printing is performed on the light reflecting sheet body 10, the sublimation ink 22 does not dye the glass beads 13, and the adhesive layer 12 and the base material 11 are selectively dyed so that the figure is transferred from the transfer paper 20. Transcribed.

In order to facilitate transfer from the transfer paper 20 to the base material 11 and the adhesive layer 12 of the light reflecting sheet body 10, it is also effective to select materials that are easily transferred by sublimation ink as the base material 11 and the adhesive layer 12. is there.
In addition, as the light reflection sheet | seat body 10, the light reflection sheet which adhere | attached the glass bead 13 directly on the base material 11 besides the thing which adhered the base material 11 via the adhesive bond layer 12 as a light reflection material The body can also be used. The light reflecting material is not limited to glass beads, and any material can be used as long as it is not dyed by sublimation ink.
As a method of transferring from the transfer paper 20 to the light reflecting sheet body 10, a method of transferring one sheet at a time is possible. When a long transfer paper is used, the heating plate 30 is used continuously as a heating roller. It is also possible to transfer by applying pressure and heating.

Thus, by using the sublimation printing method, it is possible to obtain a light reflective printed fabric printed in a predetermined pattern or pattern (figure).
Since this light-reflective printed fabric is printed on the base material, the printed portion does not peel off even if the surface of the fabric is rubbed, and it is obtained as having sufficient durability. In addition, the light-reflective printed fabric is obtained as a printed fabric on which the sublimation printing portion 22a is visually recognized from the surface side, that is, a printed pattern is printed. Although minute glass beads 13 are deposited on the surface of the light reflective printed fabric, the sublimation printing portion 22a provided on the light reflective printed fabric is visible through the glass beads 13. .

FIG. 2 shows an example of a light reflective printed fabric obtained by the method described above. FIG. 2A shows a light reflective printed fabric 10A obtained by transferring a stripe pattern from a transfer paper, and FIG. 2C shows a light reflective printed fabric 10B obtained by transferring a polka dot pattern from the transfer paper. Indicates. In any of the light reflective printed fabrics 10A and 10B, the pattern is transferred to the entire surface of the light reflective printed fabric.
2 (a) and 2 (c) show the light-reflective printed fabrics 10A and 10B viewed at daytime, and FIGS. 2 (b) and 2 (d) show the light reflected on the light-reflective printed fabrics 10A and 10B at night. The irradiation state is shown. As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (c), the light-reflective printed fabrics 10A and 10B can be visually recognized as they are in general daytime, while the light-reflective printed fabrics 10A and 10B reflect light at night. When the reflective print fabrics 10A and 10B are irradiated with light and the reflected state of the light is observed, it is visually recognized that the light is reflected from the entire surface of the light reflective print fabrics 10A and 10B.

  Thus, the most characteristic point in the operation of the light reflective print fabrics 10A and 10B is that the entire surface of the light reflective print fabrics 10A and 10B functions as a light reflective surface. In this way, the entire surface of the light reflective printed fabrics 10A and 10B has a light reflecting effect, as shown in FIG. 1 (d), when the light reflecting sheet body 10 is subjected to sublimation printing. This is because the glass beads 13 which are light reflecting materials applied to the surface of the base material 11 of the sheet body 10 are not dyed at all, and the retroreflective action of the glass beads 13 is maintained as it is.

That is, the light-reflective printed fabric obtained by performing sublimation printing on the light-reflecting sheet body 10 acts as a printed fabric on which a required pattern (figure) is displayed in the daytime, and is irradiated with light at night or the like. In some cases, the entire fabric acts as a light reflector.
Therefore, by applying such a light-reflective printed fabric to clothing or the like, it becomes possible to provide clothing or the like having characteristic functions and expressions that cannot be obtained with conventional clothing.

3 and 4 show an example in which a tie and a skirt are created as an example of an article using the above-described light-reflective printed fabric.
The tie shown in FIG. 3 uses a light-reflective printed fabric 10B as a part of a tie fabric 40, and the skirt shown in FIG. 4 uses a light-reflective printed fabric 10A as a part of a skirt. In any case, the tie and the skirt are made by using the light reflective printed fabric formed by printing the same pattern and the same color as the tie fabric 40 and the skirt fabric.

The tie shown in FIG. 3 is formed by sewing the light-reflective printed fabric 10B into a part of the tie fabric 40, and sews the light-reflective printed fabric 10B so that the pattern matches the tie fabric 40. It is said.
As described above, when the tie fabric 40 and the light reflective print fabric 10B are used in the same pattern, it is possible to provide a natural tie without knowing that the light reflective print fabric 10B is used. it can. In the case of a garment using a conventional light reflecting material, the light reflecting material is used as it is by being pasted or sewed, which may result in a very unnatural form for clothing. Therefore, it is difficult to use a light reflecting material for a design product such as a tie. However, if the light reflecting print fabric 10B is used as in the present embodiment, a light reflecting material is used. Can be provided as a tie without any discomfort.

FIG.3 (b) shows the state which irradiated the light to the tie at night. Reflection of light appears slightly dark from the tie fabric 40 portion, while light is effectively reflected from the light reflective print fabric 10B, as if light is emitted from the light reflective print fabric 10B. Is visually recognized.
By creating a tie using the light-reflective printed fabric 10B in this way, taking advantage of the characteristics of the light-reflective printed fabric 10B, the design is excellent and it is difficult for pedestrians to see at night etc. In addition, it is possible to provide the light reflective printed fabric 10B as a functionally superior product that acts as a light reflecting material.

The skirt shown in FIG. 4 is an example in which a light-reflective printed fabric 10A having the same color and the same pattern as the skirt fabric is used for the skirt portion and the belt portion of the skirt 50.
In the case of the skirt 50, similarly to the tie described above, the light reflective printed fabric 10A is visually recognized in the same way as an ordinary printed fabric during the daytime. Therefore, even if the light reflective printed fabric 10A is used, it is normal. On the other hand, when the skirt is irradiated with light at night or the like, the light-reflective printed fabric 10A portion of the hem portion and the belt portion shines brightly.

  By using the light-reflective printed fabric 10A for the skirt 50 in this way, it can be provided as an excellent product that does not give a sense of incongruity by using a light-reflecting material, and a car is driven at night. It can be provided as a product with a function to make a driver aware of a pedestrian. Of course, by devising the arrangement and design of the light-reflective printed fabric 10A that partially shines the skirt 50, it is possible to make the product excellent in design by light reflection, and the design and function of the skirt are impaired. In addition, it is also possible to provide a skirt with a new expression that has never existed before.

  In the example in which the light-reflective printed fabric is used for the tie and the skirt described above, the tie fabric 40 and the light-reflective printed fabric 10B have the same pattern so as not to impair the design of the tie and the skirt. Although the reflective printed fabric 10A is used, if the design or the like is not impaired, the article fabric and the light reflective printed fabric need not be the same pattern or the same color.

  FIG. 5 shows an example in which a tie is prepared using a light-reflective printed fabric 10C on which a printed pattern different from the tie fabric 40 is printed. FIG. 5A shows the case where light is applied to the tie at daytime, and FIG. 5B shows the case where light is applied to the tie at night. Thus, by using the light-reflective printed fabric 10C in design, it can be provided as a product that does not feel uncomfortable in design even during the daytime and that exhibits a characteristic function by the light-reflecting function at night. it can. The light-reflective printed fabric 10C has an advantage that various variations are possible, unlike a case where a simple reflective material is used as a product because a pattern and a color can be selected as appropriate.

  In addition, since the light reflective printed fabric is made in consideration of the light reflective characteristics, the touch and flexibility may be different from those of commonly used fabric depending on the material. Therefore, when it is difficult to make the entire tie or skirt using a light-reflective printed fabric, or when the manufacturing cost is higher than the conventional product, a part of the tie fabric or If it is a method used for a part of cloth of a skirt, there is an advantage that it can be handled with no sense of incongruity with conventional clothing and can be manufactured at a low price.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the example which used the light reflection printed fabric for the clothing of a tie or a skirt, the light reflection printed fabric can be used for a wide variety of uses, such as a jacket, pants, It can be used for various purposes such as hats, bags and umbrella fabrics. For example, by using it for the rain cover of the outer pocket with the same pattern as the outer jacket, or using it for the rain cover or folding of the pants pocket, the driver of the car can be used at night without impairing the design. It can be provided as a garment having an effect of protecting the pedestrian such as making the pedestrian notice. In addition, when using a light-reflective print cloth, it is also possible to use a light-reflective print cloth having a pattern and a color that match the design of the clothes, not the same pattern as the clothes.

It is explanatory drawing which shows the manufacturing process of the light reflective printed fabric which concerns on this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the example of a light reflective print fabric. It is a front view of the tie created using the light reflective printed fabric. It is a front view of the skirt created using the light reflective printed fabric. It is a front view of the other example of the tie produced using the light reflective print cloth.
