DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for forming a design such as a one-point mark or a logo mark on a stretchable fabric such as a swimsuit, a leotard, a swimming cap and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when forming a design such as a one-point mark or a logo mark on a stretchable fabric such as a swimsuit, a leotard, a swimming cap, etc., a screen is directly printed on the fabric using a paint (ink). It was common to adopt the method of doing.

[0003]

However, in the conventional mark forming method described above, it is difficult to position a design or the like on a fabric at the time of printing, and it is particularly difficult to print a design or the like by multicolor printing. Also, depending on how the squeegee is moved, problems such as shading and blurring may occur due to the degree of penetration of the paint into the fabric or the waving of the fabric, so that skill in screen printing is required. Further, since printing is performed directly on the fabric, there is a possibility that the paint may adhere to portions other than the printed fabric and become stained.

As described above, in the conventional mark forming method by screen printing, not only a problem occurs at the time of printing, but also a problem occurs when a swimsuit or the like printed in such a manner is worn. In other words, since the printed paint does not stretch with the expansion of the fabric, the paint printed as a design cracks, resulting in a poor appearance and a poor fit.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a mark on stretchable fabric, which can solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention screen-prints a design such as a one-point mark or a logo mark on a transparent resin film using a colored liquid silicone rubber. After drying and curing the design portion, an adhesive made of a transparent liquid silicone rubber with an adhesive property is screen-printed so as to cover the design portion, and then the resin film on which the design portion and the adhesive are screen-printed, After setting the stretchable fabric so that the adhesive is on the fabric side, transfer the pattern portion onto the fabric via an adhesive layer by thermocompression transfer, and then peel off the resin film It is characterized by.

According to the present invention, a pattern such as a one-point mark or a logo mark is not screen-printed directly on a stretchable fabric as in the above-described conventional example, but is screen-printed once on a transparent resin film. The method of curing the design part and then using a screen-printed adhesive to transfer the design part to the fabric by thermocompression bonding is adopted, so that the positioning of the design part with respect to the fabric at the time of setting becomes easy and accurate, and in the case of multicolor printing No misalignment occurs. Then, instead of screen printing directly on the fabric, since the design part is screen-printed on the resin film, it is not affected by the condition of the fabric as in the conventional example, and there is no problem such as shading or blurring. There is no need for skill in printing, and there is no risk of soiling the fabric.

Further, since the colored silicone rubber is used as the design part forming material, it can be colored in a vivid color utilizing the characteristics of the silicone rubber, and has good releasability from the resin film when dried and cured, thereby improving work efficiency. good.
Furthermore, since the silicone rubber used as the design part and the adhesive is rich in elasticity, the design part and the like can cope with the expansion and contraction of the fabric when worn, so that the design part does not crack, Good appearance and comfort.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 illustrates the steps of a mark forming method according to the present invention in order.

As shown in FIG. 1 (a), first, a pattern portion 2 such as a one-point mark or a logo mark is formed on a suitable surface of a transparent resin film 1 such as PET by a screen printing method.
Is formed by printing with a colored liquid silicone rubber, and then the pattern portion 2 is dried and cured by forced drying or natural drying. The colored liquid silicone rubber is a liquid obtained by mixing a colorant with a transparent silicone rubber material, and has a high gloss and flexibility and can be colored in a vivid color.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), an adhesive 4 made of a transparent liquid silicone rubber provided with adhesiveness by a screen printing method is used to cover the entire design portion 2 and to be 0.3 mm from the peripheral portion. The print is formed so as to protrude by 0.5 mm.

The resin film 1 on which the pattern portion 2 and the adhesive 4 are printed is formed so that the adhesive 4 faces down, as shown in FIG. 1C, such as a swimsuit or a swimming cap. It is set at a predetermined position on the cloth 5 and before the adhesive 4 is hardened, the pattern portion 2 is transferred to the cloth 5 by thermocompression bonding via the adhesive 4 using a hot plate 6 such as an industrial press iron. . The hot plate 6 has a shape that covers the entire design portion 2 (for example, in the case of ABC alphabet characters shown in FIG. 3, the size of a rectangle that covers the entire character group).

By the heating and pressurizing, the silicone rubber of the design unit 2 and the silicone rubber of the adhesive 4 are transferred integrally to the cloth 5. In addition, the transparent liquid silicone rubber as the adhesive 4 before being cured exerts a sufficient adhesive effect in combination with its chemical bonding force due to the so-called anchor effect that penetrates into the fiber gap of the cloth 5.

The pattern portion 2 and the adhesive 4 thus transferred to the cloth 5 are then subjected to a drying process at 120 ° C. to 130 ° C. for approximately 20 seconds, and the adhesive 4 is hardened. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1D, the resin film 1 is peeled off. Since the silicone rubber used as the design part 2 and the adhesive 4 has good releasability from the resin film 1, the above-mentioned peeling can be easily performed.

As the fabric 1 on which the design portion 2 is screen-printed as described above, in addition to the fabric of the swimming cap 7 shown in FIG. 2, various stretchable fabrics such as leotards and swimwear are applied.

The present invention can be configured in various modes in addition to the embodiments described above. For example, the adhesive 4 covering the design portion 2 is not so large as to protrude slightly from the design portion 2 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but is made substantially the same size as the design portion 2 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, the design unit 2 may be intermittently covered. Further, in the design unit 2, in addition to logos such as alphabetic characters, shapes and sizes of graphics, etc., printing locations and printing positions are not limited to those described in the above embodiment. Also, in the design part 2 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the letters ABC are finished in the same color using the same colored liquid silicone rubber, but the colored liquid silicone rubbers of different colors are used as the ABC letters, respectively. It is also possible to form the design unit 2 by performing multi-color screen printing three times on the resin film 1 and simultaneously transferring the characters of each color by thermocompression bonding.

[0018]

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily and accurately position the design portion with respect to the fabric at the time of screen printing, and anyone can easily and neatly perform screen printing without problems such as shading and blurring. It is possible to provide a method for forming a mark on a stretchable fabric that can improve the appearance and comfort without causing cracks in the design part at times.
