In addition to this, in a scented watch sticker having a layer in which a unit calendar or a design image is recorded as a holographic image capable of reproducing white light as an intermediate layer, a scent matching the information contained in the holographic image. Can be volatilized, and the scent can be enjoyed by the sense of smell as well as the visual hologram image. Further, the masking effect can remove a partly unpleasant odor.

[0007]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment in which the scented watch sticker according to the present invention is applied to a transparent hologram calendar sticker. As shown in FIG. 1, a scented timepiece sticker 1 (hereinafter referred to as a scented timepiece sticker) in which a unit calendar is recorded as a hologram image capable of reproducing white light is described below.
Mount 2 with 6 months from January to June as one set
It is affixed to the prescribed position of. Then, the date of the calendar, the name of the sticker providing company, and the like are printed on the mount 2 in advance. On the uppermost surface of the scented clock sticker 1 for each month, a plurality of preselected different scents A to F are made to hold a fragrance each month so as to include at least the area of the scented watch sticker 1. There is. Then, the fragranced timepiece sticker 1 for each month is peeled from the mount 2 and used along the portion where the notch 9 is formed.

Next, the layer structure of the scented watch sticker 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of a cross section cut along a line aa ^, which crosses the center of the scented timepiece sticker 1 in FIG. The scented clock sticker 1 comprises, in order from the top, an aroma retaining layer 8 containing microcapsules encapsulating an aromatic component, a hologram protective layer 7, a hologram forming layer 6 recording a unit calendar as a hologram image, and an adhesive layer. It is composed of 5 and. Then, the scented clock sticker 1 is attached on a mount base material 2 having a release agent layer 4 and a printing layer 3 on which characters and figures are printed and formed.

First, the aroma-retaining layer 8 is composed of ink in which microcapsules encapsulating a fragrance component are dispersed in a varnish. In addition, the microcapsule of the aroma retaining layer 8 can stably encapsulate the aroma component in the capsule until the aroma component is volatilized, and when the aroma component is volatilized, it is easy to rub with a fingertip. Any material that can be destroyed is appropriately selected from conventionally known materials. For example, gelatin, urea resin, formalin resin, bisphenol A resin or the like can be used as the material. Further, the aroma component to be encapsulated in the microcapsules can be appropriately selected from various aroma substances regardless of natural or synthetic. Furthermore, the intensity and duration of the scent can be controlled by the amount of microcapsules encapsulating the aroma component. The fragrance layer 8 can be formed by silk screen printing or offset printing using an ink in which microcapsules encapsulating a fragrance component are dispersed in a varnish. Silk screen printing has about 5 ink layers as the fragrance layer
Since it can be formed as thick as ˜15 μm, a large amount of microcapsules encapsulating a fragrance component can be retained in the scented timepiece seal 1 and suitable for strong and persistent volatilization of fragrance. Further, since offset printing uses fine microcapsules and the ink layer serving as a fragrance layer is as thin as about 2 to 6 μm, the amount of fragrance is reduced, and although it is slightly fragrant, the productivity is excellent.

The hologram protective layer 7 is for protecting the hologram forming layer 6 from damage due to an external force (such as friction when the microcapsules encapsulating an aroma component are destroyed when the aroma retaining layer 8 is formed). This is for providing the strength of the seal 1 as a whole. Hologram protection layer 7
Is a film, and its material includes cellulose resin, vinyl chloride resin, (meth) acrylic acid ester resin, acrylic resin, vinyl acetate resin, urethane resin, melamine resin, polyester resin, A simple substance such as a polyolefin resin, a mixture, a copolymer, or the like can be used. The thickness of this hologram protective layer 7 is
About 5 to 200 μm is preferable.

The hologram forming layer 6 is a hologram image recorded by a relief hologram method (shown by a broken line in FIG. 2) as a hologram image capable of reproducing a calendar for one month with white light, and is, for example, an image hologram or a rainbow hologram. , Lippmann hologram, integral hologram, diffraction grating, etc. The hologram forming layer 6 includes a hologram resin layer 61 having a relief surface of a hologram image formed on its back surface, and the hologram resin layer 6 thereof.
The hologram forming layer 6 is transparent or semi-transparent as a whole, and is formed of a transparent or semi-transparent hologram effect layer 62 formed on the relief surface 1 to increase the hologram effect. As the material of the hologram resin layer 61, a material obtained by curing a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin, or
Alternatively, a mixture thereof can be used. Besides, a thermoformable resin having a radically polymerizable unsaturated group can be used. The hologram resin layer 61 is formed on the hologram protection layer 7 by a coating method or the like.

Since the hologram effect layer 62 is used as a transparent hologram, it needs to have transparency, and a transparent material having a refractive index different from that of the hologram resin layer 61, a metal thin film layer having a thickness of less than 2 μm, etc. Can be given.
In the former case, the refractive index of the hologram effect layer 62 may be larger or smaller than the refractive index of the hologram resin layer 61, but the difference in refractive index is preferably 0.1 or more. More preferably, the difference is 0.5 or more, and optimally 1.0 or more. In the latter case, the metal thin film has a thickness of less than 2 μm, and therefore has a high light wave transmittance, and thus exhibits a hologram effect and a non-concealing effect on the lower portion. As the material of the hologram effect layer 62, for example, a transparent continuous thin film having a refractive index larger than that of the hologram resin layer 61 is Sb ₂ S.
₃ (3.0), ZnS (2.1) and the like. To form the hologram effect layer 62 on the hologram resin layer 61, a thin film forming method such as a vacuum deposition method or a sputtering method may be used.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 is for sticking the fragranced timepiece sticker 1 on the surface of the timepiece 10 (shown in FIG. 3), and is one that can be removed again for easy replacement every month. preferable. For example, an acrylic or rubber adhesive agent can be used.

A print layer 3 is printed on the surface of the mount 2 and a release agent layer 4 is formed on the print layer 3. The material and color of the base material of the mount 2 are not particularly limited. Generally, paper or plastic film is used.

On the print layer 3, the same pattern, characters, etc. as the hologram image recorded as the unit calendar may be printed so as to overlap with the unit calendar.

The release agent layer 4 is made of silicone resin, wax,
It is formed by applying paraffin or the like on the mount 2 or the printing layer 3.

Although the respective layer configurations have been described above, the examples will be further described in detail. In order to obtain the scented timepiece sticker 1 as shown in FIG. 1, first, the hologram protective layer 7,
The hologram forming layer 6 is provided with a transparent hologram calendar (1 to 1
(June), and the microcapsule containing the aroma components of aromas A to F (cyclamen, sandalwood, rose, carnation, cosmos, lavender) from January to June on the hologram protective layer 7. Using ink (6 types in total), 6 times printing by silk screen printing using nylon mesh of 150 lines / inch, a fragrance-retaining layer having different scents so as to include at least the area of the unit calendar for each month 8 are formed respectively. The thicker the aroma retaining layer 8 can hold a large amount of microcapsules and is excellent in volatilization of a strong scent and repetitive volatilization, it is preferable that the aroma retaining layer 8 has a thickness of about 10 μm in consideration of transparency. Next, adhesive processing is performed to form the adhesive layer 5,
This laminate is attached to the mount 2 having the printing layer 3 and the release agent layer 4 by the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5, and this is punched out as shown in FIG.

Next, how to use the fragranced timepiece sticker 1 obtained as described above will be described. The scented timepiece sticker 1 shown in FIG. 1 is peeled off from the mount 2 along the notches 9 and attached to a transparent protective plate such as a glass plate or an acrylic plate of the timepiece 10 as shown in FIG. Then, the user can see the dial of the timepiece 10 and the hologram image (time and calendar) as the reproduced unit calendar by changing the position of the eyes and the angle of the timepiece 10. Further, while using this watch, if sweat accumulates on the watch belt and an unpleasant odor is generated or if you want to enjoy the scent, you can rub the fragrance layer 8 with your fingertips or the like. The microcapsules are destroyed and the scent evaporates. And, by this masking effect of the scent, the bad smell can be softened and the scent can be enjoyed.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment,
Various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. In the above-described embodiment, the fragrance component of the aroma preservation unit 8 has a
We selected cyclamen, sandalwood, rose, carnation, cosmos, and lavender as the scents A to F from the month to June, but such a random scent may be used, but typical flower scents of each month are selected. It is more preferable to match and select the month. Furthermore, in addition to the scent of flowers, a scent suitable for the season (fruit, etc.) may be appropriately selected.
Also, by selecting an aromatic component such as "incense", stress can be relieved and you can feel relaxed. Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the sticker for a scented watch is applied to the transparent hologram calendar sticker is described, but instead of providing the transparent hologram calendar, for example, an image of a rose flower pattern is recorded as a hologram image. The micro-capsule enclosing the aroma component of rose may be mixed in the aroma-retaining portion. Further, when simply enjoying the scent, it is not necessary to record the hologram image. Further, the sticker for a scented watch of the present invention is further suitable when a perfume is used as the aroma component. For example,
A variety of perfumes are used as the aroma components of the scented watch sticker (for example, perfume A is used as the scented watch sticker A and the perfume B is used as the scented watch sticker B). And T. P. O. First, the aroma retaining portion of the scented watch sticker A is rubbed and used. And when the situation changes, this time, the scented watch sticker B
(Perfume B) is used. At this time, since the perfumes A and B are not directly applied to the skin, the scent of the perfume A used previously does not remain after a certain amount of time has passed. Even if the fragrance of B is rubbed to cause the scent of perfume B to drift, the two scents will not mix and you can enjoy each scent with a time lag. In this way, you can enjoy the pure scent of each of the several patterns of perfume just by sticking the scented watch sticker on the watch you carry around everyday.

[0020]

As described above, the scented timepiece seal of the present invention has the following effects. It has a fragrance layer mixed with microcapsules encapsulating a fragrance component on the top surface and has an adhesive treatment on the bottom surface, so it can be easily attached to a watch. By a simple operation of rubbing, the microcapsules encapsulating the aroma component are destroyed, and the scent can be easily volatilized. Furthermore, if it is attached to a watch that is carried daily, it is convenient to carry, and it is possible to easily volatilize the scent as needed to eliminate unpleasant odors and enjoy various scents. In addition to this, since a unit calendar or a layer in which an image with a design is recorded as a hologram image capable of reproducing white light is provided as an intermediate layer, a scent that matches the information contained in the hologram image is volatilized. It is possible to enjoy both the visual hologram image and the olfactory scent at the same time.
Further, the masking effect can remove a partly unpleasant odor.
