Abstract

PURPOSE:To manufacture a jigsaw puzzle having a stereoscopic feeling by composing a plurality of images photographed at different angles, dividing a positive film on which a stereoscopic photograph miniature plate is formed by use of a lenticular screen into proper colors followed by plate making and printing, and then dividing and cutting it into a plurality of puzzle pieces CONSTITUTION:Synthetic images CP are picked tip on a negative film 9 from original image films 1-3, and the synthetic images CP having different mutual positions of a background B, a subject K, and a foreground F are photographed on negative films NG O-2. On the basis of the negative films NG 0-2, the images are printed onto a printing film of stereoscopic photograph having a lenticular screen. Further, the exposed printing film is developed to form a stereoscopic photograph miniature plate, and this is changed in pitch so as to be fitted to the printing lenticular, extended and contracted to form a positive film, and then divided into plates. After printing, the lenticular screen is put on the surface, and the resulting picture is divided and cut into 3 number of puzzle pieces PP.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a jigsaw puzzle formed of color images having a stereoscopic effect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various kinds of computer graphics and three-dimensional images such as photographs, paintings and illustrations have been known. In addition, what is called a three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle is, for example, Sankaihei 1-1521691, 2-60.
9, No. 3-29187, No. 3-54691
It is known from the official gazette.

[0003]

However, the ones disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-1521691 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-54691 have a puzzle piece whose surface has an uneven surface or a different height. Further, in all of the other publications, a puzzle piece formed in a flat plate shape is fitted into a fitting surface of a three-dimensional base. As described above, none of the conventional ones is a jigsaw puzzle expressing a pattern having a three-dimensional effect. Therefore, the present invention is intended to provide a method for manufacturing a jigsaw puzzle using a color photographic print having a three-dimensional effect which has never been obtained.

[0004]

In the method for manufacturing a three-dimensional printed jigsaw puzzle of the present invention, a plurality of images taken from different angles are combined on a single screen, and this is combined with a photosensitive material through a lenticular screen. Is exposed to light and developed to form a three-dimensional photo mini plate, a positive film serving as a printing original plate is created from the three-dimensional photo mini plate, and the positive film is decomposed and separated into an appropriate color to make a plate, The printing comprises forming a three-dimensional printed matter by printing, and dividing and cutting the three-dimensional printed matter into a plurality of puzzle pieces.

[0005]

[Function] A plurality of images are combined into a three-dimensional photograph through a lenticular screen, a plate for printing is prepared from this, a three-dimensional printed matter is prepared by printing from this plate, and this printed matter is divided. The main effect is to make a plate for printing from stereoscopic photographs and print it to obtain stereoscopic printed matter.

[0006]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In order to make the description easy to understand, a method of creating a three-dimensional photograph from three drawing materials will be described. FIG. 1 shows three original picture films 1, 2, and 3. The original film 1 shown in FIG. 1A is a photograph in which a plurality of reef patterns used as the background B are expressed and printed on opaque photographic paper. In the original image film 2 shown in FIG. 1B, a plurality of corals expresses a bright color as a foreground F.
The original film 3 shown in FIG. 1 (c) is used as the theme K. The fish 6 has a circular mouth open to swallow a small fish 5 with a fishing line 4 hooked on its mouth, and this fish 6 The mouth of a large shark 7 that is about to swallow is three-dimensionally represented. 1 (b) and 1 (c) are both photographs printed on a transparent printing film. A scale G1 having a reference line L1 is provided above the original film 1 and reference lines L2 and L3 for confirming the position on the scale G1 are provided above the other original films 2 and 3, respectively.

These original image films 1, 2 and 3 are superposed in this order from bottom to top to form a composite image CPO shown in FIG. 2 (a). And the original picture film 1 of background B
On the other hand, by shifting the original image films 2 and 3 of the foreground F and the subject K in the directions of the arrows M1 respectively, as shown in FIG. Is formed.

FIG. 3 shows a shooting state of the composite image CP. The lens 8 and the negative film 9 are arranged so as to face the surfaces of the original film 1 to 3, and the composite image CP is formed on the negative film 9.
To shoot. Then, the composite images CP having mutually different positions of the background B, the subject K, and the foreground F are photographed on different negative films, respectively, and these are developed to develop a plurality of negative films (for example, three negative films NG0 to 2). ) Is created.

An image is printed on a printing film PF (see FIG. 4) of a three-dimensional photograph having a lenticular screen based on the plurality of negatives NG0 to NG2. The printing film PF includes a support 10 made of a transparent film, a color photosensitive layer 11, a protective layer 12, a lenticular screen 13 and the like. FIG. 5 is a state in which the photographic film PF is exposed by the negatives NG0 to NG2, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the main part. First, the printing film PF is exposed by the negative NG0 to form an image at the image position 1 ′ on one lens of the lenticular screen 13. Next, the negative NG is sequentially replaced with the negatives 1'to 2 ', and the images are sequentially formed at the image position 3'. At that time, from the position of the subject K to be the same at each image position 1 ′ to 3 ′ on the printing film PF,
The printing film PF and the lens 8 are moved. That is, when shooting the composite image CP, the original image film 1 of the background B is
On the other hand, the original image film 3 of the subject K was moved by the dimension a, but when exposed to the image film PF, the dimension a
Is moved in the opposite direction on the printing film PF. By developing the printing film thus exposed, a three-dimensional photograph (mini version) is obtained.

This stereoscopic photograph (mini plate) is changed in pitch so as to fit a lenticular having a printing pitch of 362 microns, and is enlarged / reduced in accordance with the size to be used to prepare a positive film as a printing original plate. Next, the positive film is disassembled and separated into four plates of yellow, red, indigo, and black.

Further, characters are inserted into these plates as needed to prepare a positive film for printing (plate making). Then, by this printing, printing is performed to a fineness of 330 lines with a width of 1 inch, and the surface is covered with a lenticular screen to obtain a three-dimensional printed matter PR as shown in FIG. 7. The three-dimensional printed matter PR is shown in FIG. As shown in (4), it is divided and cut into a large number of puzzle pieces PP.

[0012]

As described above, since the jigsaw puzzle manufacturing method of the present invention is formed by three-dimensional printed matter, mass production is possible, and the mass production makes it possible to reduce the cost of stereoscopic photographs that are originally expensive. can do. Moreover, the jigsaw puzzle obtained by the manufacturing method of the present invention does not impair the original aesthetics of stereoscopic photography and has a three-dimensional effect that has not been seen in the past. It can be used as an ornament.
