[0001]

This invention relates to a plate for hot stamping or foil stamping.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hot stamping (or foil stamping) is
Basically, it is a kind of transfer printing, and because it can transfer print to almost any material such as paper, various plastic materials, leather, wood, etc., it can be used for book covers, leather products, various packages, labels, etc. It is applied to various products.

Various types of hot stamping transfer machines have been developed depending on the application, but a flat pressure type (up / down type) for stamping a part of a flat surface or a curved surface, a wide flat surface, a cylinder, or a box shape. A roll type method in which heat transfer is performed on a product is known. In the case of the flat pressure type, a transfer target object is placed on the substrate, and a transfer foil film wound in a roll is sent in order to continuously supply a transfer foil for forming characters, patterns, etc. to be transferred, A heating plate having a printing plate is provided thereon and is pressed to transfer characters, patterns, etc. to the transferred object.

The plate is made of iron, brass, copper, magnesium, zinc or the like, and in principle is a relief plate. The plate material has a lower printing durability in the order of the metal, but which material is used is determined by the material of the transferred object, the number of processing, and the like. In order to efficiently form a metal plate in a short time, a corrosive plate-making method is generally used, and characters, patterns, etc. can be obtained with extremely high precision by photo-plate or printing plate-making.

[0005]

By the way, since the metal plate made by the above-mentioned conventional corrosion plate making method is a relief printing plate, it is natural that characters and patterns are formed in a convex shape on the surface of the printing plate. There is.

[0006] If the foil stamped portion is further
When you want to create an effect with unevenness in letters or patterns
In general, the convex plate for foil stamping of the base and the convex plate for letters and patterns
It is processed in two steps using two plates. Labor saving
Since it can be processed in one process,
May use corroded plates. But like this
In the plate, there is no difference in level between the letters and the convex parts of the design and the plate surface for the base.
Therefore, a gap is created between the transfer foil film and the transfer target,
There may be a bubble layer.

Therefore, not only the necessary characters / designs but also the necessary transfer portions may have defects due to the air bubble layer, and the characters / designs / necessary parts may be disturbed.

The present invention has been made aware of the problems of the plate used in the conventional hot stamping transfer machine described above.
A transfer machine in which heat-resistant rubber material is attached around the convex plate formed on the plate to prevent air bubbles from being generated in the transfer portion, and to completely prevent the characters and patterns to be transferred and the necessary portion from being disturbed. An object is to provide a printing plate for printing.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention requires that a plate base and a letterpress portion corresponding to a character or pattern to be transferred are formed of the same metal material and surround the letterpress portion. The hot stamping transfer plate was formed by adhering a rubber material to the same area so as to be coplanar.

[0010]

The plate having the above-mentioned structure is mounted on a transfer machine and pressed by a press onto an object to be transferred to transfer desired characters / designs and necessary portions.

Since the plate is provided with a rubber material around the letterpress portion, bubbles are less likely to be generated in the counter-transfer portion when it is pressed against the transfer object, and therefore characters and patterns and necessary characters are required during transfer. The part is transferred and disorder is prevented.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a hot stamping transfer machine including the plate of the embodiment. The transfer machine shown in the drawing has a principle mechanism of a flat pressure type, and is formed into a roll shape that serves as an ink when transferring characters and figures to an object to be transferred 2 placed on a support 1. A printing plate 6 having a letterpress for transferring characters / figures is supported by a heating plate 7 with a transfer foil 5 which is continuously fed from a wound transfer film 3 by a feeding roll 4 being sandwiched therebetween, and is arranged oppositely. The hot stamping is performed by pressing and separating the press 8 in the direction of the arrow.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the plate 6 provided in the transfer machine.
Shown in. (A) is a main cross-sectional view, (b) shows a plane. In this plate 6, as shown in the figure, a relief plate 62 in which a shape, a pattern or a combination thereof corresponding to a character or a pattern to be transferred is drawn on a substrate 61 is formed of the same metal material for both members. The rubber material 63 is adhered to a necessary area portion surrounding the periphery of the relief plate 62.

The plate 6 is formed by corroding the surface of a metal material having a total thickness of the substrate 61 and the relief plate 62 by a conventionally known corrosion method to form a shape, a pattern or a combination thereof on the relief plate 62 corresponding to a desired character / design. Etc. are formed. The metal material used for the plate 6 is selected from, for example, iron, brass, copper, magnesium, zinc or the like according to the purpose for which it is used.

The rubber material 6 of the necessary area surrounding the letterpress 62
3 is formed at the same height as the apex of the relief plate 62 as shown. The size of the required area portion is determined according to the content of the expression such as whether the content of the character / design is simple or complex, and beautiful hot stamping can be obtained by setting it to the target size.

The rubber material 63 may be made of another material as long as it has elasticity and printing durability equivalent to that of rubber, but it is important to form the rubber material 63 on the same surface as the relief plate 62 to have a uniform thickness. is there.

The plate 6 of this embodiment having the above-mentioned structure is
When it is mounted on a transfer machine and transferred by hot stamping, beautiful characters and patterns of hot stamping and necessary parts are continuously transferred to the transferred object. In the case where the rubber material 63 is not provided, the characters / designs and the necessary parts may be disturbed by bubbles generated in the transferred characters / designs or the necessary parts thereof. When used, no such disturbances occurred.

[0018]

[Effect] As described in detail above, in the plate of this invention, the rubber material is attached to the necessary area surrounding the periphery of the relief plate formed on the base, and the outer surface is formed at the same height as the relief plate. Therefore, there is an effect that bubbles are not generated in the required area portion, and the characters and / or patterns to be transferred and the required portion become extremely clear and undisturbed.
