DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a stamp for freely designing and producing a stamp.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, stamps to be affixed to sealed letters or parcels are designed by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, printed and manufactured by a printing office of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, or issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. The stamps are sold at the office of the Bureau or at a store entrusted to them, so the production and sale of stamps are all carried out within the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications or the Ministry of Finance.

On the other hand, there are stamps of various designs such as commemorative stamps or series stamps in a specific field.
People who enjoy using it like posting it on a postcard or a seal and sending it to a friend, people who enjoy it as a hobby to collect various stamps, or people who collect special stamps and seek property value, Many people enjoy stamps in various forms.

[0004]

In spite of the fact that many people enjoy the design of stamps, stamps are issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Despite the desire of many, its issuance is limited.

On the other hand, for example, telephony cards have become widespread due to the inconvenience of using conventional coins when using telephones. At present, telephony cards are mainly used for making telephone calls outside. At first, this telephony card was issued by NTT under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. However, due to strong external demands, etc., the freely designed paper is now available to NTT. If you apply by attaching it, you can have a telephon card printed with the design.

As is evident from this, as part of the deregulation production currently being carried out from a global perspective,
Further, as a natural course in the future, it is desired that stamps be issued in the same manner as current telephony cards.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for producing a stamp, which can produce a stamp having a free design.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is to apply for a stamp printing design to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, entrust the production of stamps, and to purchase and distribute commercialized stamps. It was made.

Further, a device for continuously printing a stamp sheet at intervals by a printer, an adhesive coating device for bonding a water-soluble adhesive to the back of the stamp sheet, and a bonding device for bonding the stamp sheet to siliconized glassine paper A stamp making device comprising a device and a stamping device for engraving a perforation on a stamp sheet is constituted, a stamp sheet is purchased from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and a free design is printed and distributed thereon.

According to the present invention, since a stamp is produced by the above-described method, for example, a picture of a family, a design by a company's own line, etc. can be printed and freely sold and distributed.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The first method of making a stamp according to the present invention is as follows. First, a picture of a family, a design for commemorating a family such as Kissu and Yoneju, a commemorative commemoration of a company, or a company. A person who wants to distribute a specific design, such as an anniversary design, or even a company advertising design, as a stamp, applies to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications for a form containing the design. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications manufactures stamps of its design either within the ministry or outsourced.

As the manufacturing apparatus at that time, various apparatuses conventionally used can be used. For example, the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 is used. That is, in this apparatus, the material sheet 1 is pulled out from the roll 2 and supplied to the printer 3. Here, stamps are printed on the sheet 1 continuously at intervals. The sheet 1 is conveyed while being adhered by a water-soluble adhesive adhesive 4. Since the water-soluble tacky adhesive is applied to the bottom surface of the sheet 1 to which the adhesive is bonded, the sheet 1 is bonded to the siliconized glassine paper 5.

Typically, four stamps are produced simultaneously in the width direction of sheet 1, but any number may be used depending on the width of the paper and the capabilities of the label printing machine. When the stamp sheet 1 passes through the printer 3, it passes under a drying unit having a well-known infrared drying unit. Next, the two stamp sheets 1 and the glassized paper 5 pass through a press section 8 having a rotating drum 6 and a cutter-shaped head 7.

The die head 7 and the drum 6
Is engaged with the stamp sheet 1, the unnecessary remaining material around the stamp is removed and wound on a roll 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the die head and the drum consist of a rubber roller 10 and a cylinder 11 having pins mounted thereon.
The sheet 1 may be perforated by fitting a stamp sheet between the cylinder 11 having the pin 0 and the pin. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 13 denotes a pressing roller. The stamp sheet 1 is wound up in a roll 15 shape.

[0015] In addition to the stamp manufacturing apparatus as described above, various manufacturing apparatuses can be used. However, if the printing surface is provided with an embossed gold decoration, the value as a stamp is markedly increased. To do this, stamps are printed, gold-plated, embossed and cut. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an etching process is performed in advance using a metal plate 31 and, for example, a portrait 3
2, gold-plated iron cast with a relief corresponding to the description character 33 and the frame 34 and a flat surface 45 is used.

On the plate 31 is placed a special cellulose sheet 35 covered with a layer 37 of gold film or powder by a special process. The sheet is adhered to the gold-clad iron via a suitable adhesive layer 36 and is covered by a heat-adhesive coating 38. The coating melts at, for example, 80-90 degrees C. The gold-plated iron is pressed against the printed rubber sheet 39 at a temperature of about 140 to 160 ° C. for a fraction of a second.

Thus, the reliefs 32, 33, 34
Are instantaneously transferred to the areas 40, 41, 42 on the sheet 39 corresponding to the reliefs. Sheet 39
Is provided with a non-gold-plated residual area 33 corresponding to the plane 45 of the plate 31. Then, a normal stamping or embossing to make the portrait stand out on the relief and cutting of the stamp image 44 are performed. In this way, the stamp can be embossed gold-plated quickly and without dropping any gold, and any remaining printing on the stamp can be performed.

Further, an uneven pattern can be formed on a stamp sheet by using a transfer material 54 in which an uneven pattern layer 51 is formed on the surface of the base 50 and a release layer 52 and an adhesive layer 53 are sequentially provided thereon. As shown in FIG. 5, an ink 57 composed of an ionizing radiation curable resin 55 and a solvent 56 is printed on the substrate 1 using a concave roll 58, and the solvent 57 is evaporated to dry the ink 57. Next, the ionizing radiation-curable resin 55
Irradiation radiation is applied to the substrate to cure it, thereby forming the concavo-convex pattern layer 51. Finally, a transfer layer 54 is obtained by sequentially providing a release layer 52 and an adhesive layer 53 on the uneven pattern layer 51. After transferring this transfer material to a stamp sheet, it is peeled off to form an uneven pattern on the stamp sheet.

On the other hand, for the purpose of mechanization of postal matter processing, a detection system for discriminating the type of postal matter by stamp is being adopted. As a detection method, for example, it is considered to use a fluorescent material for the stamp itself. It has been found that when an inorganic fluorescent pigment is contained in the coating liquid as the fluorescent material, it is suitable for removing excess ink from the ink attached to the gravure roll.

When the inorganic fluorescent pigment and the adhesive are used as main components, the liquid surface is coated and dried to produce a stamp sheet. The inorganic fluorescent pigment is wet-pulverized so as to have a specific surface area such that the ratio of the inorganic fluorescent pigment is between 2.0 and 1.05, and the inorganic fluorescent pigment dispersion after the treatment is blended into the coating liquid. Is preferable.

A stamp is manufactured by adopting the various technical means as described above, and is provided to a person who provides a design as described above and requests manufacturing of the stamp, including a printing fee. The person who requested the production of the stamp distributes it as a personal commemorative stamp or sells it as a hobby stamp at an appropriate price.

In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the stamp was manufactured by designating the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, but in addition to this, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications itself printed a charge and provided a perforated unit stamp. A person who wants to sell a number of sheets and distribute stamps can purchase it and print a free design by asking a printing shop with a commercially available color printing machine or a high-performance printing machine to print it. It may be distributed.

[0023]

According to the present invention, according to the stamp manufacturing method employing the above various technical means, a stamp having a free design can be manufactured. Therefore, for example, a picture of a family, a design in-house, and the like can be printed and freely sold and distributed. In addition, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications does not need to pay the design fee for the stamp to the designer, and it does not need to pay the copyright of the stamp, for example, the portrait right to the copyright holder. Can be achieved. Also, stamp shops can sell freely, and there is no need to manage stamps, and unnecessary staff can be reduced. In addition, the buyer can issue and sell stamps of any design, improve the printing technology, and have the effect of increasing the advertising effect of the company.
