Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a more preferred embodiment of the embossed pattern transfer method of the handle of the food utensil according to the present invention.

<Step of manufacturing transfer paper>

1. First print layer forming step

First, a desired design, i.e., a picture or a character is selected, and then an artwork is produced, and the film is output to a film suitable for the size of a handle of a desired food utensil to be described later.

The printing film thus output is placed on the surface of the previously prepared transfer paper and through a conventional printing operation, thereby forming a first print layer on which the desired picture or character is printed on the surface of the transfer paper. The transfer paper is a coating paper (coating material is a kind of starch) by receiving a raw paper produced by a paper company, and the reason for coating is a printing layer when the transfer paper is immersed in water as described below (step 5). This is to make it possible to separate paper and paper smoothly.

2. Acrylic resin coating step

On top of the first printed layer printed on the transfer paper, a thin layer of acrylic resin solution, which is a mixture of an acrylic monomer and a solvent, is coated on the entire surface of the first printed layer of the transfer paper to stabilize the first printed layer. A thin acrylic resin coating film is formed on the entire surface of the printing layer. The acrylic resin coating film thinly coated on the first printing layer plays a role of fixing the drawing of the first printing layer so as not to scatter when the first printing layer is transferred from the transfer paper to the handle portion of the food utensils. The acrylic resin coating film thinly coated on the first printing layer is automatically removed by burning at a high temperature of 400 to 450 ° C. in the transfer process through firing.

3. Acrylic resin drying step

The acrylic resin solution coated on the first printing layer of the transfer paper is dried in a natural state at room temperature. Through this drying operation, the acrylic resin solution coated on the first print layer is turned into a thin film protecting the first print layer.

4.Embossing pattern printing step

A printing ink through a metal mask is applied on the dried and coated acrylic resin coating film on the first print layer of the transfer paper to form a second print layer having an embossed structure on the first print layer.

For reference, the process of forming the second printed layer of the embossed structure will be described. The metal mask is a plate of metal material, the thickness of which is 0.1 to 1 T, and the picture or character to form the pattern of the embossed structure on the plate. The pattern of is formed to penetrate the plate. The metal plate, ie, the metal mask formed through the pattern, is firmly mounted on the printing machine, and a transfer paper on which a first printing layer is formed is placed below. When the fixing operation is completed, the metal mask is in close contact with the transfer paper, and in this state, when the ink for embossing printing supplied to the printer is supplied through the through-hole formed in the metal mask, the planar structure of the transfer paper Above the first printed layer of the embossed pattern is formed through the patterned hole in the metal mask to the height of the plate thickness, which is the second printed layer. The reason why the second print layer is formed on the surface of the resin coating film is because the second print layer is formed thick with an embossing structure, so that the resin coating film cannot be coated. Therefore, the second print layer is formed after coating the surface of the resin coating film on which the first print layer is formed. In addition, the embossing printing ink used in the above is preferably a gel type such as gelatin, the viscosity of 20,000ps. The reason for this is to make it possible to stably maintain the original state without thickly embossing printing ink for printing.

<Separation step of film on which transfer paper and printed layer are formed>

5. As described above, the transfer paper on which the first and second print layers are formed is put in water to separate the film on which the picture is printed and the paper. As described in step 1, when the transfer paper is immersed in water because the transfer paper has a coating layer mainly containing starch, and a resin film having first and second printing layers formed on the coating layer of the starch material. Since the starch layer is easily dissolved in water and decomposed, it is possible to easily separate only the film on which the print layers are formed from the transfer paper.

<Transfer Film Attachment Step>

6. The resin film printed with the first and second printed layers separated from the transfer paper is attached to the glaze surface of the handle of the prepared food utensils (see FIGS. 1 to 5), and then adheres more closely without bubbles or the like. Rub with gauze, etc. to remove any moisture and to ensure sufficient drying.

<Film transfer stage>

7. The food utensils with transfer film are placed in a ready-made kiln, and the food utensils put in the kiln are subjected to a firing operation heated to approximately 830 ° C. Upon firing, the resin coating film is completely burned away by heat, and only the first printing layer having a planar structure and the second printing layer having an embossing structure giving a three-dimensional effect are transferred to the surface of the handle of the food utensil. The reason why the firing temperature is 830 ° C. is to maintain the gloss and the safest thickness of the ink for embossing printing.

Examples of the handle of the food utensil to which the embossed pattern is transferred through the above steps are shown in FIGS. 1 to 5.
