Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] [Prior Art] Conventionally, as a method of copying using a flashing means, for example, an original plate on which a predetermined image has been formed is superimposed on recording paper. A method is known in which the image of the original plate 9 is copied onto recording paper by arranging the original plate 9 and flashing light from a flashing means from above. In this case, the original plate may be a stencil original plate in which an image is formed with holes, or one in which an image is transferred to a transparent sheet.

A flash copying device used in such a copying method has a rotating case rotatably attached to the device body, a flashing means is provided on the rotating case, and a suppressing plate having a cushioning material is provided on the device body. The structure is as follows. In this case, the flash means includes a discharge lamp in a light source chamber of the rotating case, one side of the light source chamber (the surface facing the suppression plate) is opened, and a transparent glass is attached to this opening.

The two-cushion material is used to uniformly bring the original plate and recording paper into close contact over the entire surface during copying.

When making copies using such a flashlight copying device, the original is attached to the outer surface of the transparent glass, the recording paper is placed on the cushioning material of the suppression plate, and then the rotating case is rotated to remove the transparent An original plate and recording paper are sandwiched between glass and a cushioning material, and in this state, a discharge lamp is flashed to copy an image corresponding to the image on the original plate onto the recording paper. In this case, when the rotating case is rotated to sandwich the original plate and recording paper between the transparent glass and the cushioning material, the entire surface of the original plate and the recording paper are brought into even contact with the cushioning material, resulting in a copied image with uniform shading. can get.

In addition, when using a stencil original as the original in such a copying method, the ink is squeezed out from an ink tube filled with heat-melting ink and applied to a separate sheet, and this sheet is applied to the inner surface of the original. The ink from this sheet is copied onto recording paper. Also,
When an original plate in which an image is transferred to a transparent sheet is used, a portion of the image transferred to the transparent sheet is transferred to recording paper.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-described copying method, when copying, an original plate on which an image is formed is attached to the transparent glass on the rotating case side, and the recorded image is placed on the cushioning material on the device main body side. Place the paper,
In this state, by rotating the rotating case relative to the main body of the device, the original plate and recording paper are sandwiched between the transparent glass on the rotating case side and the recording material on the main body side to perform copying. In other words, the original plate is attached to the transparent glass on the rotating case side, and the recording paper is placed on the cushioning material on the main body of the device, so there is no need to cover it when copying. If the recording medium has an arcuate curved surface, the original plate will not conform to the copying surface of the recording medium, so it can only be transferred onto flat surfaces. Not only cannot copies be made on curved surfaces, but also clear copies cannot be made near the side edges of bound paper such as notebooks.

An object of the present invention is to provide a flash copying method that can successfully copy an image of an original plate not only on a flat surface but also on curved surfaces such as arcuate surfaces and curved surfaces of bats, vases, pencils, etc. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the flash copying method of the present invention, an object to be copied is placed on a jig, a copy area of the object is covered with an ink sheet, and in this state, a transparent member, a light-transmitting A copying device having a cushion member and an original sheet having the properties of the original sheet is positioned on the upper surface of the ink sheet, and then the copying device is pressurized to compress the cushion material and transfer the original sheet and the ink sheet to the copying material. This is a method of copying the image of the original sheet onto the object by flashing light while it is pressed against the body.

[Function] According to the flash copying method of the present invention, when copying onto an object using an original sheet, a cushion member having translucency is placed between the original sheet and the transparent member. Therefore, when the original sheet and the ink sheet are pressed against the object to be copied and the light is flashed from above the transparent member, the cushion member is compressed and the original sheet and the ink sheet can be brought into close contact with the object to be copied. Therefore, not only the copying operation is easy and clear copies can be made, but also the cushion member compresses and the original sheet and ink sheet are pressed against the object to be copied, so the object to be copied is limited to flat objects such as recording paper. In addition, it can be clearly copied onto curved surfaces such as arcuate or curved surfaces of bats, vases, pencils, etc., or near the side edges of bound sheets of paper such as notebooks.

The discharge lamp 13 is made of a xenon lamp or the like used as a strobe for a camera, and flashes when the above-mentioned discharge switch Sb is operated, and the intensity of the flash varies depending on the setting state of the power switch Sa.The reflector 14 is a discharge lamp. 13 and reflects the light from the discharge lamp 13 toward the lower transparent body 17 side. Further, a cushion member 17a is bonded to the lower surface of the transparent body 17 with a transparent adhesive. This cushion member 17a is made of a resilient foam material such as foamed urethane, foamed polyester, etc., and although it appears white, it has translucency. In other words, the term "translucent" here refers to not only transparency that allows light to pass through completely, but also semi-transparent or transparent properties that can be seen through. be. Further, this cushion member 17a is slightly smaller than the transparent body 17, and its thickness is formed to be thicker to some extent.

The operating levers 6.6 are provided from both side surfaces to the lower surface of the intermediate stage portion, and are used to move up and down a holding member 15.15, which will be described later. Each of the operating levers 6.6 consists of an operating button 6a and a rotating arm 6b, is rotatably attached to the upper case 4. That is, the operation button 6a is connected to the upper case 4.
The lower part is rotatably attached to the button insertion hole 4a formed on both sides of the upper case 4, and the lower part thereof is rotatably attached to the button 6C. The zero rotation arm 6b, a part of which protrudes outside, is a plate-shaped object bent into an "L" shape, and corresponds to the button insertion hole 4a in the r-section partition plate 11 inside the L-section case 4. It is disposed in a notch 11a formed by the above-mentioned method, and its tip is bifurcated and extends to and comes into contact with the lower surface of the lower partition plate 11. Therefore, when the operation button 6a is pressed from the outside, the rotating arm 6b rotates in the direction of arrow X around the bottle 6c, and its tip moves downward as shown in FIG. Moving.

The holding member 15.15 moves up and down in conjunction with the operation of the operating lever 6.6, and when pushed down by the operating lever 6.6, its lower end touches the cushion member 17a, as shown in FIG. The transparent body 17 is pushed down and separated from the body to allow the setting of the original sheet 19 (described later), and when it is pulled up, the transparent body 17 is pushed down and separated.
The original sheet 19 is held in contact with the lower surface of a cushion member 17a provided on the lower surface. That is, each of the holding members 15 has a flat plate shape, and has locking portions 15a at its lower end bent in an rLJ shape in directions facing each other, and abutting portions 15b, 15b at its upper end.
are provided, and the whole is constantly pulled upward by a coil spring 15c. In this case, the lower end locking part 1
5a, as shown in FIG. 5, the edge of the original sheet 19 is directly pressed against the edge of the transparent body 17, and the original sheet 19 is elastically pressed against the lower surface side of the transparent body 17 via the cushion member 17a. The contact portions 15b and 15b at the upper end are slightly bent outward to form #i and t4, respectively, and their respective upper ends are always in contact with the rotating arm 6b of the upper operating unit 8-6. The lower end of the coil spring 15c is the contact portion 15b.
.

attached to the upper end of the holding member 15 between 15b,
The upper end passes between the bifurcated tips of the rotating arm 6b of the operating lever 6, and the mounting hole 11b of the lower partition plate 11 above it.
The holding member 15 is thereby constantly pulled upward.

By the way, the original sheet 19 attached to the lower surface side of the transparent body 17 of the light source chamber 12 via the cushion member 17a is made of a transparent thermoplastic resin sheet such as polyester or polypropylene. ) are formed with fine irregularities 19a. This minute unevenness 19
a... is formed by, for example, honing or the like. The surface of the honed original sheet 19 becomes cloudy like ground glass due to diffused reflection from the fine irregularities 19a, and becomes translucent, but it is still translucent. Further, the original sheet 19 has fine irregularities 19a...
A writing image 19b is formed by a writing instrument 23 (described later) on one surface (upper surface) where
The upper layer of the original image 24a of the original 24, which will be described later, is also printed as an ink image 19 on the other side (lower side) on which 9a... is not formed.
It is also possible to transfer it as c. In addition, considering that the heat absorption rate of the writing image 19b and the ink image 19c of the original sheet 19 is low, the thickness of the original sheet 19 is determined by lθ.
It is desirable to make it about ~80 #Lm. Therefore, if the original plate sheet) 19 becomes difficult to attach, the original plate sheet)
19 may be attached or attached to a frame-shaped support (not shown).

In addition, the ink sheet stored in the ink holder 3) 18
As shown in FIG. 1, the written image 19b formed on the original sheet l9 is pulled out onto the object 21 attached to the fixing jig 20 and covered with the object 21.
Alternatively, an image corresponding to the ink image 19c is transferred to a copying object 21 such as a pencil. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, this ink sheet 18 has a total thickness of approximately 3 to 5 mm.
Around 0 body m, a light reflection layer tab made of a metal vapor deposition layer such as nickel (Ni), aluminum (AI), copper (Cu), etc. is formed on the upper surface of a transparent or opaque base film 18a made of polyester or the like.

It has a structure in which a heat-melting ink layer 18c made of color ink or the like is formed on the lower surface of the base film 18a. As this color ink, in addition to black, various colors such as red, yellow, blue, green, gold, and silver can be used.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8, a case will be described in which the written image 19b of the original sheet 19 is copied onto the object 21 by the flash copying apparatus 1 having the above-described configuration.

In this case, first, as shown in FIG. 6, a writing image 19b is formed on the original sheet 19 using the writing instrument 23. That is, one side of the original sheet 19 on which fine irregularities 19a are formed is placed upward, and a writing image 19b is formed on this side by hand with a writing instrument 23 such as a pencil equipped with a core containing carbon toner. . The writing implements 23 referred to herein are those having a structure such as a pencil, ballpoint pen, magic pen, or felt-tip pen, and are made of carbon or carbon black.

A writing instrument having a writing material with good heat absorption, such as graphite, is desirable.

The original sheet (see) 19 on which the writing image 19b was formed in this way
Attach the housing to the main body 2. In this case, first operate the operating lever 6.6 of the device main body 2 to push down the holding member 15.15 as shown in FIG. Set the original plate C) 19 on the side. That is, when the operating button 6a of the operating lever 6 is pressed from the outside, the rotating arm 6b rotates in the direction of arrow X around the pin 6C, and the tip of the rotating arm 6b touches the holding member 15.
The contact portions 15b, 15b of are pushed down against the coil spring 15c. Then, the guide portions 15b at both ends of the holding member 15 are aligned with the guide grooves 5a of the lower case 5,
5a and moves downward, and the locking part 1 at the lower end
5a is the cushion member 1 provided at the lower part of the transparent body 17
It is pushed downward from 7a. In this state, holding member 1
Insert the original sheet 19 with the writing image 19b facing up between the locking part 15a of No. The lower surface of member 17a is made to face.

In this case, if the original sheet 19 is bent and difficult to insert, it is easier to handle by gluing and integrating a frame-shaped reinforcing sheet (not shown) to the original sheet 19. It has approximately the same external shape as the original sheet 19 with an opening in the center, but it is not necessarily frame-shaped.
In this case, the reinforcing sheet is a transparent member, and the side opposite to the surface on which the ink image 19b of original sheet 19 is formed, In other words, it is necessary to arrange it between the cushion member 17a and the original sheet 19. and,
When the control lever 6 is released, each holding member 15 is pulled up by the coil spring 15c as shown in FIG.
Press the edge of the original sheet 19 directly onto the edge of the transparent body 17 via a.

As a result, the original sheet 19 is attached with its entire surface in close contact with the lower surface of the transparent body 17 due to the elasticity of the cushion member 17a. That is, since the size of the cushion member 17a is smaller than the distance between the locking parts 15a, 15a, the locking parts 15a, 15a press the edge of the original sheet 19 directly against the edge of the transparent body 17. and is pulled in from the lower surface of the original sheet 19.

After the original sheet 19 is attached in this way, first, attach the object 21 such as a pencil to the fixing jig 20,
An ink sheet 18 is placed thereon. That is, when attaching the object 21 to the fixing jig 20, insert the object 21 into the mounting groove 20a of the fixing jig 20 from the open end side.
1 is inserted against the spring force of the leaf springs 22, 22, and the end of this copying object 21 is brought into contact with the other end of the mounting groove 20a. As a result, the object 21 to be copied is positioned on the fixing jig 20 and is elastically fixed and held by the leaf springs 22 and 22. In this case, the end of the object 21 to be copied is attached to the mounting groove 20. Since it touches the end of %, 1. Many objects 2
1, the position of each object 21 to be copied can be kept constant at all times. A predetermined amount of the ink sheet 18 is pulled out from the outlet 3 a of the ink holder 3 and cut by the cutter 3 b of the ink holder 3 . This cut ink sheet) 18 is attached to the object 2 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.
1 to cover the subject 21.

Thereafter, the apparatus main body 2 to which the above-described original sheet 19 is attached is placed on the fixing jig 20 via the original sheet 18. In this case, in the main body 2 of the apparatus, the light source chamber 12 is placed at the bottom, and the original sheet 19 mounted under the transparent body 17 at the lower part of the light source chamber 12 via the cushion member 17a is in contact with the ink sheet 18. Then, the main body 2 of the apparatus is positioned relative to the fixing jig 20 so that the written image 19b formed on the original sheet 19 corresponds to the image forming surface (copying area) of the object 21 via the ink sheet 18. do. In this state, when the main body 2 of the apparatus is pressed from above, the cushion member 17a is compressed according to the shape of the object 21 to be copied, as shown in FIG. It adapts to the image forming surface of No. 21 and is pressed uniformly over the entire surface for close contact. In particular, since the ink sheet 18 is cut to a predetermined size, the cushion member 1
7a compresses the object 21 because both ends are free.
It easily adapts to the image forming surface.

In this way, when the original sheet 19 and the ink sheet 18 come into close contact with the object 21 to be copied, the copying process is repeated.

Then, the power switch Sa provided on the top surface of the device main body 2 is set to the on state, and after the light emitting diode 10 lights up and the flash preparation is completed, the discharge switch Sb is closed, and the discharge lamp 13 becomes strong. Emits a flash of light. When the discharge lamp 13 emits a flash of light in this way, the light beam is
As shown in the figure, a transparent Il provided at the bottom of the light source chamber 12
1 body 17, cushion member 17a, and original sheet 1
9 and irradiates the ink sheet 18 below it.

Then, since the original sheet 19 has a writing image 19b formed on its upper surface, light rays do not pass through the writing image 19b, and furthermore, this writing image 19b contains toner with good heat absorption. Therefore, this writing image 19
The part b absorbs the light rays and has heat; however, the other parts do not have heat because the light passes through them.Therefore, the light rays that have passed through the parts other than the writing image 19b in original version C) 19. is reflected by the light reflecting layer 18b of the ink sheet 18, so this part of the ink sheet 18 does not generate heat, but the part of the writing image 19b of the original sheet 19 absorbs the irradiated light and generates heat. Then, this heat is transmitted to the heat-melting ink layer 18c via the light-reflecting layer 18b and the base film 18a of the ink sheet 18, and only this portion of the heat-melting ink layer 18c is melted, and this melted portion 18d is below. The image is thermally transferred to the copying object 21 on the side. As a result, the fused portion 18d of the heat-melting ink layer 18c corresponds to the written image 19b of the original sheet 19 as a copied image of that color on the image forming surface (copy area) of the object 21 as shown in FIG. be reliably and clearly copied. The image copied in this way is preferably coated with a transparent coating material so that it does not disappear even if the outer peripheral surface of the object 21 is rubbed.
The curved surface of is not limited to rod-shaped objects such as pencils and ballpoint pens.
It may be an arcuate surface, a spherical surface, or a combination of these surfaces, such as a vase, a bat, a pole, a golf club head, etc.
Alternatively, it may be a curved surface such as a hexagonal pencil, etc. Therefore, in the case of bound paper such as a notebook, clear copies can be made even near the bound side edges. Furthermore, it goes without saying that such copying is not limited to curved surfaces as described above, but can also be made on flat objects such as plain paper.

Note that, as described above, the original sheet 19 may be one obtained by thermally transferring the original image 24a of the original 24 in addition to the one in which the writing image 19b is formed using the writing instrument 23.
A copying method using this method will be explained with reference to the drawings and FIG.

In this case, first, the original 24 is created. That is,
The original 24 has an original image 24a on a recording paper 24b such as plain paper.
For example.

A printed record by printing with a thermal printer, an electrostatic copy with an ink image formed with carbon toner, a printed matter such as a newspaper or magazine printed with ink, a lettering sheet, or a writing instrument 23 using a pencil, ballpoint pen, or ink. It is a written record etc. Among the above, when using a lettering sheet, prepare a lettering sheet in advance in which ink images such as letters or designs are printed on the back side of a transparent sheet via a release agent, and then remove the ink image forming side of this lettering sheet. The ink image is transferred onto the recording paper 24b by rubbing the ink image onto the recording paper 24b by rubbing it against the surface of the transparent sheet with a relatively hard member such as a pen or a stick.

When such a document 24 is used to thermally transfer the document image 24a onto the original sheet 19.

First, the original sheet 19 is attached to the lower part of the main body 2 of the apparatus.

That is, in the same way as described above, first, the operating lever 6 is operated to push down the locking part 15a of the holding member 15 below the cushion member 17a provided at the lower part of the transparent body 17, as shown in FIG. In this state, the original sheet 19 is placed on the lower surface of the cushion member 17a, and the original sheet 19 is fixedly held on the cushion member 17a by the locking portion 15a of the holding member 15. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, one surface of the original sheet 19 on which fine irregularities 19a are formed faces the lower surface of the cushion member 17a, and is brought into close contact with the cushion member 17a due to the elasticity of the cooker member 17a.

After the original sheet 19 is attached in this way, the apparatus main body 2 is placed on the original 24 with the original sheet 19 facing down. In this case, the original 24 is placed on a flat storage area 25 such as a tabletop.
41 (see FIG. 10). In this state, when the main body of the device is pressed from above, the cushion member 17a is uniformly compressed, and as shown in FIG.
The lower surface of document 9 is pressed uniformly over the entire surface of the image forming surface of document 24 and comes into close contact with it. In this case as well, the cushion member 17 is cut to a predetermined size.
Since both ends are free when compressed, it is easy to leave the image forming surface of the object to be copied 26, and as a result, the thermal transfer of the original 24 becomes removable.

In this state, the original image 24a of the original 24 is transferred to the original sheet 1.
In the case of thermal transfer to the light source 9, in the same manner as described above, the power switch Sa is set to the on state, the first light emitting diode 10 lights up and the flash preparation is completed, and then the discharge switch Sb is closed, and the discharge lamp 13 becomes strong. Emits a flash of light. When the discharge lamp 13 emits a flash of light in this way, the light beam is

and the original 49, the original 24 below it through the sheet 19.
He was beaten to death. Then, the original 2 is placed on the bottom surface of the original sheet 19.
4 is in elastic contact with the cushion member 17a, so that the upper layer of the original image 24& formed on the surface of the original 24 (that is, the carbon toner, etc. contained in the image) is on the lower surface of the original sheet 19. The ink is then transferred as an ink image (copy image) 19c as shown in FIG. 1O. this is,
This is due to the effect that a material such as toner contained in the original image 24a absorbs the light beam and generates heat, and this heat melts the lower surface of the original sheet 19 and the original image 24a, thereby fixing them together. As a result, the original image 24a of the original 24 is faithfully and clearly transferred to the original sheet 19, and a copy of the original 24 is obtained. Moreover, this copy can also be used as an original version.

Next, referring to FIG. 11, using the copy as described above, that is, the original sheet 19 onto which the original image 24a has been transferred,
A case will be described in which the transferred ink image 19c is copied onto a copying object 26 such as a vase. In this case, in the same way as when copying onto the object 21 such as a pencil described above, a predetermined amount of the ink sheet 18 is pulled out from the ink holder 3 and cut with the cutter 3b.
The image forming surface (copying area) of the object 26 to be copied, such as a vase, is covered with the material 26, and the original sheet 19 is pressed onto the covered object 26. Then, the cushion member 17a is compressed and conforms to the outer circumferential surface of the object 26, as in the case of the pencil described above, so that the ink sheet 18 comes into close contact with the original sheet 19, and the ink sheet 18 also fits onto the object 26, such as a vase. It also comes into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the body 26. Therefore, in this state, the discharge lamp 1
3, the light beam is irradiated onto the ink sheet 18 through the original sheet 19, as in the case described above. As a result, the heat-melting ink layer 18c of the ink sheet 18 corresponding to the ink image 19c of the original sheet 19 is melted, and the melted portion 18d is transferred to the outer peripheral surface of the object 26.

The portrait transferred in this way is preferably coated with a transparent coating material so that it does not disappear even if the outer peripheral surface of the subject 26 is rubbed, as in the case of the pencil etc. described above. Ink image 19c formed on 19
When the image is thermally transferred to the copying object 21 via a normal ink sheet, the image is transferred to the ink sheet little by little, and becomes unusable after being transferred to only a few objects. However, in the present invention, Inc.)18
An ink sheet 18 having a light reflection layer 18b made of a metal vapor deposited layer formed on the upper surface is used, and since the ink image 19b on the original sheet 19 is in contact with the light reflection layer 18b, it is not transferred to the light reflection layer 18b at all. It can be transferred to an extremely large number of objects. Further, the curved surface of the object 26 to be copied is not limited to a vase, but as described above, the curved surface of the object 26 to be copied is not limited to a vase, but as described above, the curved surface of a pencil, a ballpoint pen, a bat, a pole, a golf club head, etc., a curved surface, a spherical surface, and a combination thereof can be used. It may be a flat surface or a curved surface such as a hexagonal pencil. Therefore, in bound paper such as notebooks, clear copies can be made even near the bound side edges. . This also applies to the creation of original plates; images near the bound side edges of notebooks, books, etc. can be clearly reproduced.
The original plate 24 can also be created satisfactorily. Moreover, even in this kind of copying, it is not limited to curved surfaces as mentioned above,
It goes without saying that copies can also be made on flat objects such as sweat paper.

Note that this invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified in various ways.

For example, the original sheet 19 is not limited to the above-mentioned thermoplastic resin sheet, but may also be tracing paper, paraffin paper, Japanese paper, etc., and there is no need to form fine irregularities 19a on one side of the resin sheet. An image may be formed by providing a metal vapor deposition layer and removing this metal vapor deposition layer by etching or writing with a voltage pen, etc. In this case, the metal vapor deposition layer (light reflective layer 18b) of the ink sheet 18 is unnecessary. becomes. Further, although the original sheet 19 has the written image 19b or the ink image 19c formed only on either the upper surface or the lower surface, the original sheet 19 is not limited to this.By forming the ink image 19c and the written image 19b on both sides, It is possible to easily obtain a composite image of the ink image 19c resulting from the transfer of the original image 24a and the handwritten writing image 19b using the writing instrument 23, and also to copy the composite image well.

The ink sheet 18 may be one in which a light reflection layer 18b and a heat-melting ink layer 18c are sequentially laminated on the lower surface of the base film 18a, or only the light reflection layer 18b may be formed on a separate sheet, as an example of the latter. For example, the light reflecting layer 18b is provided on the lower surface of a transparent resin sheet having approximately the same external shape as the original sheet 19 (the back surface of the side facing the original sheet 19), and the transparent resin sheet 18b is attached to the original sheet 19 at the negative side edge using an adhesive tape. Glue the resin sheet. In this case, the transparent resin sheet is also used as a reinforcing sheet, and is integrated with the original sheet 19 and attached to the main body 2 of the apparatus with the original sheet 19 facing the transparent body 17 side. According to this method,
Since the light reflecting layer 18b only requires the same area as the original sheet 19, the ink sheet 18 can be made inexpensive. In addition, the transparent resin sheet having the light reflecting layer 18b on one side as described above also includes the locking portion 15a of the holding member 15,
The light reflecting layer 18b may be fixed to the original plate 15a by adhesive or the like, and in this case, the light reflecting layer 18b can be used in common for all the original plates 24, which further reduces the cost.

The cushion member 17a has the same external size as the original plate 24, and is inserted between the transparent body 17 and the locking portions 15a, 15a, with the cushion member 17a overlapped with the original plate 24, and temporarily bonded as the case may be.
It may be held by the locking parts 15a, 15a.
In this case, the cushion member 17a serves as a reinforcing sheet when the original plate 24 is inserted. Of course, the cushion member 17
A may be removably attached by another attachment mechanism (not shown).

The transparent body 17 is not limited to a flat shape, and the outer surface may be formed in advance into a concave or convex curved shape to match the shape of the recording medium. In this case, the transparent body 17 is not limited to a flat shape. 2
It can also be configured to be removable.

Further, as already mentioned, the ink sheet 1B may have a separate light-reflecting layer 18b, but in either case, there is no need to use the ink holder 3, and the structure is such that it is attached to the main body 2 of the apparatus. is also removable.

Further, in the present invention, unlike the above-described embodiment, it is not necessary to operate the operating lever 6 to raise and lower the holding member 15, and the holding member may be provided rotatably to press the original sheet. In any case, any structure may be used as long as the sheets are laminated in close contact with each other.

[Effect of the Invention 1] As explained in detail above, according to the flash copying method of the present invention, when copying onto an object using an original sheet, transparent parts are formed between the original sheet and the transparent part or material. Since a cushion member having light properties is arranged, when the original sheet and ink sheet are pressed against the object to be copied and light is flashed from above the transparent member, the cushion member is compressed and the original sheet and ink sheet are pressed against the object to be copied. can be brought close to. Therefore, not only the copying operation is easy and clear copies can be made, but also the cushion member compresses and the original sheet and ink sheet are pressed against the object to be copied, so the object to be copied is limited to flat objects such as recording paper. In addition, it can be clearly copied onto curved surfaces such as arcuate or curved surfaces of bats, vases, pencils, etc., or near the side edges of bound sheets of paper such as notebooks.
