Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to applying wax to the sliding surface of skis, pillars of buildings, etc., or applying adhesive to one side of the object to be applied. The present invention relates to a coating method and an applicator therefor.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when applying a wax-like substance to an object to be coated, for example, when coating and impregnating wax on the downhill surface of a ski, powdered wax is sprinkled on the downhill surface, and then the powdered wax is applied with a heated trowel. The wax is melted and impregnated onto the downhill surface.

Next, when this molten wax solidified, a finishing process was carried out, such as scraping off the layered wax on the surface of the downhill surface (I am unable to provide any references).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, when performing wax application work like this, it is necessary to apply and impregnate the entire surface of the slope with wax almost evenly, but it is extremely difficult to sprinkle powdered wax evenly over the entire surface of the slope. , considerable skill is required to adjust the amount of wax applied. Therefore, in reality, in order to prevent unapplied areas from occurring on the downhill surface, finishing processes such as sprinkling a large amount of powdered wax and scraping off unnecessary wax after melting and solidification are performed. The coating operation required a great deal of time and effort. In particular, it has become an extremely difficult task for serious ski enthusiasts.

Furthermore, for example, when applying wax to the floors or pillars of a building to give it a shine, conventionally the wax is applied onto a cloth or the like and then applied while being pressed against the surface to be coated.
Not only does it take a lot of effort to apply the wax, but it also requires a great deal of skill to maintain a constant amount of wax. There was a drawback.

The first object of the present invention is to provide a method that can extremely easily apply a wax-like substance to a surface to be coated at a constant thickness, and the second object is to further facilitate the application of a wax-like substance. The object of the present invention is to provide an applicator that can be used to perform various types of applications.

[Means to solve the problem]

The method for applying a wax-like substance to a ski board or the like according to the first aspect of the present invention is to apply a wax-like substance to one side of a sheet-like member to a predetermined thickness, and then apply a holding sheet to the surface of the object to be coated and a heating member. and interposing the wax-like material in a state facing the surface to be coated, and pressing the heating member against the surface to be coated to transfer the wax-like material to the surface to be coated. It has the following characteristics and its effects and effects are as follows.

[For production]

When applying a wax-like substance to the surface of the object to be coated, place the holding sheet with the wax-like substance in contact with the surface of the object to be coated, and apply heat to the top surface of this placed holding sheet. By pressing a heating member such as a trowel, the wax-like material is heated and melted, and transferred to the surface to be coated to a thickness that is approximately the same as the thickness when applied to the sheet-like member.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As a result, by simply pressing the heating member lightly from above the holding sheet and moving it relative to the holding sheet, the wax-like material on the holding sheet can be applied to a stable thickness that is almost the same as the thickness when applied to the sheet-like member. Since it can be applied to the surface to be coated, even amateurs can apply it efficiently (easily and economically).

[Means to solve the problem]

The wax-like material applicator according to the second invention includes a holding sheet formed by applying a wax-like material to one side of a sheet-like member to a predetermined thickness in a hand-held case, and heating the wax-like material on the holding sheet. and a sheet running operation means that causes the holding sheet to run past the surface side of the heating member,
The effects and effects thereof are as follows.

[For production]

When applying a wax-like substance to the surface of the object to be coated, with the holding sheet portion located on the surface side of the heating member of the case in contact with the surface to be coated, the holding sheet is placed on the surface side of the heating member. By relatively moving the case along the surface to be coated while passing through, the wax-like material is transferred to the surface to be coated to approximately the same thickness as the thickness when applied to the sheet-like member. Can be done.

[Effects of the invention] As a result, even an amateur can efficiently (
It can be applied easily and economically, but especially since the holding sheet and the heating member are provided in one hand-held case, the holding sheet and the heating member cannot be prepared separately. This is not necessary, and since the process of supplying the holding sheet and the process of heating can be performed simultaneously, the process of applying the wax-like substance can be performed more efficiently (and easily).

〔Example〕

First, an embodiment of the method for applying a wax-like substance to skis and the like according to the first invention will be described.

As shown in Fig. 1, skis (which are an example of the object to be coated)
1) Place the holding sheet (2) on the downhill surface (1a).

As shown in FIG. 2, this holding sheet (2) consists of a sheet-like member (2a) formed to have the same shape as the sliding surface (la) or slightly larger dimensions, and a wax-like material on one side of the sheet-like member (2a). It is constructed by applying Fuchs, which is an example of the above, to a predetermined thickness.

Then, the holding sheet (2) is placed with the wax (W) facing the sliding surface (1a).

Next, a heating iron (3), which is an example of a heating member, is applied to the upper surface of the holding sheet (2), and the heating iron (3) is pressed from one end side to the other end of the sliding surface (1a). The wax (W) on the holding sheet (2) is heated and melted by moving the wax (W) to the
is transferred to the downhill surface (1a).

Therefore, a heating iron (3) is applied from above the holding sheet (2).
) to remove this holding sheet (
2) wax (W) is always applied to the sheet-like member (2a
) can be applied to the downhill surface (1a) of the ski (1) in a stable thickness that is almost the same as the thickness when applied to the ski (1), so even an amateur can apply it efficiently, easily, and economically. This is possible.

The coating method of the present invention can also be applied to polish floors and columns of buildings, or to coat adhesives.

Further, the sheet-like member (2a) has a thickness of 5 μl to
Any sheet-like member having a heat resistance of about 1 mm may be used, and for example, high-density paper, heat-resistant resin sheets such as polyester, polycarbonate, polyimide, polyamide, phenol resin, etc. can be used satisfactorily.

In particular, when it is necessary to give gloss to the coated surface (1a), such as on the floor or pillar of a building, it is preferable to use a resin sheet with a smooth surface.

In addition, if the surface to be coated (1a) is smooth, or if the surface to be coated (1a) has unevenness, especially the plate portion (for example,
A groove (lb) formed on the downhill surface (la) of the ski (1)
)), or when the wax-like material (W) of the holding sheet (2) is thick and can easily be applied to the concave portions of the surface to be coated (1a). In cases where the sheet-like member (2a
It will be easier to handle if the thickness is as thick as possible.

The waxy substance (W) includes various natural waxes,
Any material that easily softens or melts or softens and melts when heated below the heat resistance temperature of the sheet-like member (2a), such as synthetic wax and thermoplastic resin, may be used. Further, two or more of the above-mentioned materials or various functional materials such as other colorants may be selected and mixed in accordance with the application purpose.

The layer thickness of the wax-like material (W) may be appropriately determined depending on the purpose of coating, but is generally from several μm to 500 μm.
It is preferable to keep it to a certain extent.

Generally, a hand-held heating iron can be used as the heating iron (3), but for example, a heat-resistant sponge such as porous polyester foam or phenolic resin foam can be used as the heating iron (3). If it is attached to the contact surface, the holding sheet (2) can be pressed against the unevenness of the surface to be coated (1a), so that the coating can be applied well even to the concave portions of the surface to be coated (la). It becomes like this. In this case, it is advantageous to keep the thickness of the sheet-like member (2a) as thin as possible in order to make the sheet-like member (2a) conform to the irregularities of the surface to be coated (1a).

The holding sheet (2) may be peeled off immediately after the heat treatment by the heating member (3) is completed and solidified, but if it is left on until use, it will protect the holding sheet (2). It can also be used as a sheet.

Further, an adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the wax-like material (W) so that the protective sheet (2) placed on the surface (1a) of the object (1) to be coated does not shift, or ,
The wax-like material (W) itself may be configured to have adhesive properties.

Next, the wax-like substance applicator of the second invention will be explained.
