DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pattern transfer member in which a plurality of transfer patterns are formed by transferring a plurality of transfer patterns on the surface of a material to be transferred, such as a building material board, a metal plate, a resin plate, a wooden board, or an inorganic board. The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus and a method for manufacturing the pattern transfer member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a method of transferring and forming a transfer pattern on the surface of a material to be transferred, such as a building material board, a metal plate, a resin plate, a wooden board, or an inorganic board, is to provide a release film on a transfer material (transfer sheet).
A method in which a release paper having a print layer provided thereon is closely contacted with the release layer, and the print layer is transferred together with a release film to a material to be transferred, or a special ink having releasability is directly printed on a transfer sheet and printed. This was based on a method of transferring a layer to a material to be transferred.

[0003] When the transfer material is in a single-wafer state, the transfer material is bonded to the surface of the transfer material using a device such as a press or a laminator, and is simultaneously heated and pressed.
The printing layer is transferred to the surface of the material to be transferred, and when the transfer material is in a wound state, the printing on the back side of the transfer sheet 21 unwound from the unwinding roll 20 as shown in FIG. An adhesive is applied to the surface, and a plate-shaped transfer material 22 supplied between a pair of heat-pressing rolls 23 and 24 is further provided.
Was heated and bonded at a predetermined temperature between the pair of heat-pressing rolls 23 and 24 to transfer the print layer to the surface of the material 22 to be transferred.

[0004]

However, in the conventional method of manufacturing a pattern transfer member, only one type of pattern (picture) a is transferred to the transfer material 22, as shown in FIG.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a first object of the present invention is to provide a plurality of types of patterns (pictures) to be transferred to a material to be transferred. ,
In the case where the material to be transferred is used as a building material or the like, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pattern transfer member having a large utility value.

A second object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for manufacturing a pattern transfer member capable of transferring a plurality of types of patterns (pictures) on a material to be transferred.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a pattern transfer member for transferring a plurality of types of patterns (pictures) on a material to be transferred.

[0008]

In order to achieve the first object, a pattern transfer member according to the first aspect of the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of transfer patterns are formed by transfer on the surface of a material to be transferred. And

With this configuration, there are a plurality of types of patterns (pictures) to be transferred to the material to be transferred, and particularly when the material to be transferred is used as a building material or the like, its utility value is great.

In order to achieve the first object, the pattern transfer member according to the second aspect of the present invention is the pattern transfer member according to the first aspect, wherein:

Therefore, there are a plurality of types of patterns (pictures) to be transferred to the material to be transferred, and especially when the material to be transferred is used as a building material or the like, its utility value is great.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a pattern transfer member, comprising:
In the method for manufacturing a pattern transfer member according to claim 6, each overlap portion of the transfer sheet is overlapped by the sheet aligning roll.

Therefore, not only the same operation and effect as the operation and effect of the invention of claim 6 can be obtained, but also the pattern printing layer of each overlapping portion of the transfer sheet is double transferred by the overlapping pattern printing layer. Although it is transferred to the printing surface of the material, the lower pattern printing layer does not appear on the transfer surface because the lower pattern printing layer overlaps the upper pattern printing layer, and only the upper pattern printing layer appears. Therefore, since the shape of the side edge of the overlap portion of the upper layer appears as it is, it is possible to finish the adjacent transfer pattern finely.
