Description

  The present invention relates to a thin film decoration method and a decorated fishing / sports equipment that do not deteriorate the performance of the article by thinning.

  Conventionally, decoration has been performed on an article having a high function, but this sometimes deteriorates the performance of the article itself. For example, sporting goods such as fishing rods, golf shafts, mountain bike frames, ski stocks, etc. are required to be lightweight and highly functional, but decoration as a product is indispensable. Conventionally, these articles have been decorated with patterns, brand names, etc., and then an overcoat layer is formed by applying a transparent or translucent coating on the surface thereof. In that case, as the weight of the component main body is reduced, a phenomenon occurs in which the weight of the overcoat layer becomes about 10% of the total weight.

  By the way, as a method of decorating, a method of providing a pattern or the like directly on the component main body or through a metal layer by painting or printing (Patent Documents 1 and 2), or on a base sheet provided with an adhesive layer on the back surface A method of adhering a type of pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, which is decorated by screen printing or the like, to the component body is employed. In particular, decorative pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets are widely used because they are easy to handle.

  However, all of these methods have various problems. The former method has an advantage that a thin pattern can be achieved in the case of a simple pattern, but it is difficult to apply a complicated design pattern. In other words, when a decorative layer is provided on a tubular article or the like by direct printing, spray coating, squeeze coating, etc., which is generally known, a long drying process is required, and when a complicated design is applied, multiple coatings are applied. In addition, it requires a drying process, or a plurality of printing and drying processes, and has problems such as time, labor, and high cost. Therefore, it is not practical to form a design of multiple colors by printing or painting.

On the other hand, decoration with an adhesive sheet has the following problems. That is, the base sheet of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has a thickness of at least about 10 μm, and the decorative layer is formed on the base sheet by printing. Therefore, after the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is attached to the component body, the overcoat layer When forming the film, there is a problem that a step is generated between the component main body and the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet adhered thereto, deteriorating the aesthetic appearance and lowering the commercial value. In order to solve this problem, the overcoat layer is formed by repeating the coating 4 to 5 times, but the occurrence of the step is eliminated by repeating the coating, but the overcoat layer film There is a problem that the physical properties or functions of the article main body are hindered due to the increased thickness.

The transfer mark sheet 10 has a structure in which a decoration layer 13 is provided on a base material sheet 11 via an adhesive layer 12 and an application layer 14 is formed so as to cover the decoration layer 13. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another example of the transfer mark sheet used in the present invention. In the case of this figure, the decoration layer 13 is composed of a colored ink layer 13a and a metal thin film layer 13b.

  As the base sheet of the transfer mark sheet, any known sheet-like material that can be peeled off from the adhesive layer can be used. Specifically, various mounts such as commercially available paper, cloth, and foil, Examples thereof include plastic sheets such as polyethylene, vinyl chloride resin, and polyester resin, or those whose surfaces are subjected to a release treatment with a silicone resin or the like. In particular, a mount having a water-soluble paste layer on the surface of the base sheet is particularly preferably used in the present invention.

  An adhesive layer is provided on the base sheet, but the adhesive layer may be formed in a pattern so as to have the same shape as the decorative layer. As the adhesive layer, a thermosetting adhesive, a pressure sensitive adhesive, a heat sensitive adhesive, etc. can be used, but the same kind as the binder of the decorative layer, for example, a thermosetting type such as epoxy resin, urethane resin, acrylic resin, etc. An adhesive made of a resin can be preferably used. In order to make the film thinner, a colorant, a filler, or the like may be included in the adhesive layer to form an adhesive decorative layer. In this case, a gradient can be provided on the outer periphery of the adhesive decorative layer. The film thickness of the adhesive layer is preferably set so that the total thickness with the decorative layer is in the range of 1 to 8 μm.

  The decorative layer formed on the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, but can be formed by one or more colored printing inks. Specifically, for example, a saturated polyester resin, an alkyd resin, A polyurethane resin, an acrylic resin, a vinyl chloride resin, a cellulose resin, an epoxy resin, or the like can be used as a vehicle, and an ink mixed with a color pigment can be used for printing. When forming by a printing method, a gradient can be formed on the outer periphery of the decorative layer. In addition, the decorative layer may include a metallic pattern, a metal thin film layer, a hologram foil layer, and the like, whereby an appearance showing glitter can be obtained. These metal thin film layers and the like may be provided on the colored ink layer or below.

  The thickness of the decorative layer is set to a range of 5 μm or less, and from the viewpoint of weight reduction, it is preferably set to a range of 3 μm or less, more preferably 0.5 μm or less. Considering the point, it is preferable to set the thickness in the range of 0.3 to 5 μm.

  A transparent or translucent resin protective layer may be provided on the decorative layer.

The application layer can be formed by, for example, a screen printing method of a resin composition mainly composed of a vinyl chloride resin, an acrylic resin, or the like. The application layer may be a transparent colored layer. The thickness of the application layer may be set, for example, in the range of 40 to 50 μm so that it can be easily peeled after the transfer is completed.

  Next, the thin film decoration method of the present invention will be described by taking as an example the case where a tubular article is decorated. FIG. 3 is a process diagram for carrying out the thin film decoration method of the present invention using the transfer mark sheet shown in FIG. First, after peeling off the base sheet of the transfer mark sheet, the decorative layer is stuck so that the exposed adhesive layer 13 faces the tubular article 1 to which the base coating layer 2 has been applied (FIG. 3a). Next, the application layer 14 covering the decoration layer is peeled off, and then the overcoat layer 3 is formed so as to cover the exposed decoration layer (FIG. 3b). For the formation of the overcoat layer, spray coating, dipping coating, scouring coating, or the like can be applied.

  A base sheet with a water-soluble glue layer is used as a base sheet, and a thermosetting adhesive layer with a film thickness of 4 μm and a decorative layer with a film thickness of 2 μm are provided thereon, and an acrylic resin with a film thickness of 40 μm so as to cover them. A sheet provided with an application layer was used as a transfer mark sheet.

  This transfer mark sheet was immersed in water for 1 to 3 minutes to remove the base material sheet. Next, after placing the transfer mark sheet from which the base sheet has been removed on the tubular adherend and positioning it, the moisture between the adherend and the transfer mark sheet is removed using a rubber squeegee, etc. Water remaining on the tubular adherend was wiped off with a dry cloth or the like. Subsequently, it was left at 25 ° C. for 30 minutes to perform temporary adhesion. After peeling off and removing the application film, an overcoat urethane-based paint was sprayed on the entire tubular adherend including the decorative layer. This spray coating was performed twice and dried by heating at 135 ° C. for 30 minutes to form an overcoat layer having a thickness of 40 μm.

  In the decorated tubular adherend, the decoration layer was buried in the formed overcoat layer, and no irregularities due to the decoration layer were observed in appearance. Moreover, since the film thickness of the formed overcoat layer is thin, the original physical properties (functionality) of the article are maintained, and the tubular adherend is reduced in weight, thereby improving the commercial value.

  A backing layer provided with a water-soluble glue layer as a base sheet, and a decorative layer comprising a thermosetting adhesive layer having a thickness of 4 μm, a colored ink layer having a thickness of 2 μm, and a metal thin film layer having a thickness of 2 μm. And an application layer made of an acrylic resin with a film thickness of 40 μm was used as a transfer mark sheet to cover them, and a tubular adherend decorated by processing in the same manner as in Example 1 was created. .

  FIG. 4 shows such a case. On the tubular article 1 provided with the base coating film layer, a transfer mark sheet from which the base sheet is peeled off is pasted, and the application layer is further removed to form a decorative layer composed of the colored ink layer 13a and the metal thin film layer 13b. The overcoat layer 3 is provided so as to cover it.

  As shown in FIG. 4, since the decorative layer made of the colored ink layer 13a and the metal thin film layer 13b is buried in the overcoat layer, no irregularities due to the decorative layer were observed in appearance. Moreover, since the film thickness of the formed overcoat layer is thin, the original physical properties (functionality) of the article are maintained, and the tubular adherend is reduced in weight, thereby improving the commercial value.
