  Further, in the doll manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, a monitor screen for projecting an individual, an illumination device for illuminating the face, and positioning so that the individual is photographed in a desired state by remote control operation while viewing the monitor screen. Then, a camera that takes a photograph, a printer that sets a photograph selected by an individual and transfers the photograph to a stretchable film sheet, and a three-dimensional molding that three-dimensionally shapes the stretchable film sheet after transfer into a plane And a counter for manufacturing and selling the device.

  The printer is one in which a stretchable film sheet made of a transfer release sheet having heat spreadability is attached to a base material sheet made of vinyl chloride, and further sandwiched between silicon sheets, and then a color toner image of a photograph is fixed by a thermal transfer roller.

  The three-dimensional molding machine covers the stretchable film sheet on a gypsum or rubber original mold in which a plurality of fine holes for ventilation are formed, and vacuums through the fine holes from below while heating from above with a three-dimensional molding machine. By performing the above, the stretchable film sheet is closely adhered and contracted to the original mold, and the surface is prepared as a cured state by lowering the temperature.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a unique doll having a face on which various images are printed and three-dimensionally formed.

  Moreover, according to the doll manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, it is possible to produce a mask with various images at a low cost in a short time, and any number of people can freely create a three-dimensional mask with a simple operation. It enables a series of work steps to create and attach it to a personally selected favorite doll.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The doll manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention is constituted by a simple box store type manufacturing and sales counter apparatus 1 for performing a series of operations between a customer (individual) and a store clerk (worker).

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the manufacturing and sales counter device 1 includes a camera 2 that takes a photograph of a customer on each of the head, mouth, and abdomen of a stuffed animal such as a bear on the front side, A monitor screen 3 for projecting the customer's face through the photographing lens of the camera 2 and an illumination device 4 for illuminating the customer's face are provided.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, on the back side of the manufacturing and sales counter device 1, a photograph taken by a personal computer 5 and a camera 2 for a store clerk (operator) to work is transferred to an extensible film sheet. For this purpose, a laser printer 6 and a three-dimensional molding machine 7 for three-dimensionally molding the stretchable film sheet after transfer into a plane are provided.

  When taking a picture, a customer (individual) stands in front of the monitor screen 3 of the production / sales counter device 1 and the customer himself / herself looks at the monitor screen 3 to operate the remote control, for example, the face of the individual, the face of a pet, or The shop clerk (operator) takes several pictures with the photographing camera 2 arranged in the vicinity of the monitor screen 3. The photographing camera 2 may be configured to be photographed by an individual himself.

  As the stretchable film sheet, a transfer release sheet S1 made of, for example, plastic is used which has heat resistance and has heat spreadability at the time of molding.

  For example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3704673, a solvent-based polyurethane resin is used on a silicone-coated surface of a base of 90 g / m 2 of single-sided silicone paper using a silk screen printer. (Dainippon Ink Co., Ltd.) Crisbon AH500 was applied with 40 micron dry film, then water-soluble polyurethane resin (Daiichi Seika Kogyo Co., Ltd.) Seikaprene UD710 with 15 parts titanium oxide and silicon powder (Shionogi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) A transfer release sheet S1 formed by mixing 3 parts of Carplex FPS-2 together with 1 part of a quaternary ammonium salt and coating it to a dry film thickness of 10 microns is used. The transfer release sheet S1 thus obtained is inserted into a Canon electronic image forming output device (trade name: Color Laser Copy: Pixel Dio730) using a color toner to fix the color toner image. .

  In addition, as an extensible film sheet that can be used, for example, liquid crystal paper or electronic paper having a thickness of 1 mm or less used for a poster or the like may be used.

  In thermal transfer, a clerk (operator) sets a single photograph selected by a customer on a laser printer 6 of a production / sales counter device 1 to be described later, and as shown in FIG. 5, a stretchable film sheet having heat spreadability. For example, the transfer release sheet S1 is peeled off, and the adhesive surface is attached to a base material sheet S2 made of vinyl chloride. The color toner image of the photograph is fixed to the transfer release sheet S1.

  In addition, the store clerk (operator) peels off the transfer release sheet S1 formed by printing an image from the base material sheet S2, and sets it on the three-dimensional molding machine 7 provided in the production and sales counter device 1 to produce the surface S by the image. To do. The three-dimensional molding machine 7 covers the fine sheet from the lower side while heating from above while the transfer release sheet S1 formed by printing an image is placed on a gypsum or rubber mold formed with a plurality of fine holes for ventilation. By performing vacuum through the holes, the transfer release sheet S1 is brought into close contact with the original mold, and the surface S by the image is produced in a cured state by lowering the temperature.

  This three-dimensional molding machine 7 is generally composed of a housing-like vacuum part with a built-in air intake mechanism, a molding part for sandwiching the transfer release sheet S1, and a heater part for heating the transfer release sheet S1 of the molding part. Has been.

  The vacuum part is provided with a circular projecting surface-shaped mounting table having a plurality of suction holes on the upper surface of a housing incorporating an electrically-starting intake mechanism. Alternatively, a rubber prototype is placed. This prototype is processed and formed such that the surface has a three-dimensional uneven face shape, such as a nose protruding part, a cheek / eye / mouth cavity part, etc. Micropores are formed.

  The forming part is formed so that the upper and lower pressing parts of the rectangular plate that can sandwich the transfer release sheet S1 can be moved up and down, respectively, corresponding to the circular shape of the mounting table of the vacuum part, A circular opening is formed at the center. That is, the molding part is mounted on a pair of left and right guide shafts that protrude upward from the back side of the vacuum part so that the lower pressing part can be raised and lowered via the movable base having a rectangular block shape. A bar-like handle for hand-holding is attached to the rear left / right symmetrical position of the side surface of the lower pressing portion. Therefore, the transfer release sheet S1 exposed through the opening can freely move up and down between a position on the mounting table that is separated from the original mold and a position that covers the original mold.

  The heater portion is provided with a meandering heater in a rectangular frame, and is attached via a fixed base fixed to the upper ends of the pair of left and right guide shafts. The entire upper surface is heated at a position where the original mold is covered with the transfer release sheet S1 exposed through the opening.

  Note that the above-described vacuum type three-dimensional molding machine 7 is only an example in the face production process C in the present invention, and it is needless to say that the three-dimensional molding machine 7 having another configuration may be used.

  Then, the store clerk (operator) removes the surface S by the transfer release sheet S1 after the curing molding from the original mold and cuts unnecessary surrounding portions, and the surface S is selected by the customer as shown in FIG. It attaches to the face part in the blank state of the made favorite doll body P.
