Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a high-intensity reflective sticker which is not damaged from a corner portion during use and can be easily peeled off when it is replaced, and a method of processing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A capsule lens type reflective sheet has a cross-sectional structure as shown in FIG. 1 and is different from the conventional exposed type reflective sheet and encapsulated lens type reflective sheet in that it has a high reflective performance of the exposed type and an encapsulated lens type. It has both weatherproof functions. The high-brightness reflective sheet 1 of the capsule lens type is similar to the exposed type in that the layer in contact with the spherical glass beads 2 is the air layer 3, and the transparent film 4 is provided for the outermost layer to have weather resistance. The points provided are the same as in the enclosed lens type reflection sheet, and each glass bead is held by the adhesive layer 5.

Due to the difference in the above structure, the high-brightness reflection sheet 1 of FIG. 1 has a reflection brightness of about 3 times or more and a far wider wide angle than the engineered grade reflection sheet of the enclosed lens type. Moreover, it also has all-weather characteristics. For this reason, the high-brightness reflective sheet 1 has been widely used as a safety sign for automobiles and bicycles.

[0004]

As shown in FIG. 1, the high-brightness reflection sheet 1 has a wide air layer 3 in the middle thereof, and the thin transparent film 4 on the upper side has only the protrusion 6 of the adhesive layer 5. It is connected to the reflective film 7 and the adhesive layer 8 below via the. This protrusion 6 is generally shown in FIG.
It is formed in a hexagonal shape as shown in (3), and its area is only a fraction of the total surface area of the sheet.

When the high-brightness reflection sheet 1 is cut into an appropriate sticker shape and attached to the rear part of the track or the like, the air layer 3 is exposed to the outside air at the cut end surface. For this reason, when the sticker is attached or used, water or the like may enter the air layer 3 to peel off the film 4, or the sticker may be partially damaged from the corner portion of the sticker only by surface contact with other members. Even if the sheet 1 has high brightness, it cannot endure long-term use.

The high-brightness reflection sheet 1 is used, for example, as a reflective sticker at the rear of a large truck, which is required to be attached by the Ministry of Transport. To prevent damage during attachment and use, the cross section of this sticker is used. The structure is as shown in FIG. In the reflective sticker of FIG. 3, a fluorescent sheet 7 having a larger area is provided below the sheet 1 which is the main body of the sticker.
An aluminum plate 8 having a thickness of 2 mm is adhered to the surface of the aluminum plate 8 and the whole is covered with a transparent vinyl chloride sheet 9. This sticker becomes thick as a whole and is ugly, and the manufacturing cost is very high.

To manufacture a sticker using a reflection sheet, as shown in FIG. 4, a sticker piece 21 is attached on a known vinyl sheet 20, and a transparent film 22 is further attached.
Even if the whole is punched out after being covered with, the periphery of the sticker piece 21 can be protected. However, in this sticker 23, the adhered film 22 floats up around the sticker piece 21, and the film 22 is easily peeled off from the floating portion 24, and it is aesthetically inferior as a high-grade sticker.

The present invention has been proposed to improve the above-mentioned problems associated with the conventional high-brightness reflective sticker, and provides a high-brightness reflective sticker that is not partially damaged from the corners during use. Is intended. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of processing a high-intensity reflective sticker that is thin and has excellent strength.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a high-brightness reflective sticker 10 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, is a capsule lens type reflective sheet 1 (see FIG. 1).
The sticker main body 11 and the frame body 12 that surrounds the sticker main body and has substantially the same thickness. A transparent plastic film 13 covering the sticker body 11 and the frame body 12 is attached to the surface of the sticker 10, and the support sheet 1 is provided on the back side of the sticker body and the frame body.
Paste 4.

In the method of the present invention, the capsule lens type reflection sheet 1 (FIG. 1) is punched into a desired planar shape to form a sticker body 11, and a through hole slightly larger than the planar shape of the sticker body is formed into a frame. The sheet 15 (FIG. 7) is provided. Then, the sticker main body 11 is fitted into each through hole 16 of the sheet 15, the sheet is covered with the transparent plastic film 13, and then the sticker main body is punched out to have a larger size than the planar shape of the sticker main body to manufacture the sticker 10.

On the back side of the frame sheet 15, a thin support sheet 14 having a release paper 17 and an adhesive layer 18 is formed.
Paste. Support sheet 14 for frame sheet 15
The step of attaching to the sheet 15 may be either before or after the step of providing a large number of through holes 16 in the sheet 15,
When the through hole 16 is provided after the attachment of the sheet 15, only the sheet 15 may be half-punched.

[0012]

In the high brightness reflective sticker 10 of the present invention, the frame body 12 surrounds the periphery of the sticker body 11, and the inner peripheral wall of the frame body 12 is in close contact with the periphery of the sticker body 11 to protect the periphery of the sticker body 11. is doing.
A large number of open air layers 3 around the high-brightness reflection sheet 1 (FIG. 1) are closed by the inner peripheral wall of the frame body 12, so that water or the like does not enter the air layers 3 when the sticker 10 is attached and used. .

In the method of the present invention, when the sticker body 11 is punched out from the capsule lens type reflection sheet 1, the plastic sheet 1 is slightly plastically deformed and becomes slightly larger than the punched die in plan view. Therefore, if a punching die is formed so that the large number of through holes 16 provided in the frame sheet 15 are slightly larger than the planar shape of the sticker body 11, it is easy to fit the sticker body 11 into each through hole 16. is there.

[0014]

EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be explained based on examples.
In order to manufacture the high-intensity reflective sticker 10 (FIG. 5) of the present invention, first, a yellow or silver capsule lens type reflective sheet 1 is prepared.
(For example, product name: Scotchlight reflective sheet 6060
The series) is punched into a desired plane shape with a Thomson cutter or the like to form the sticker body 11. Sticker body 1
Although the planar shape of 1 is an ellipse in FIG. 6, it may be a circle, a rectangle, a square, a polygon, or the like.

On the other hand, a frame sheet 15 having substantially the same thickness as the reflection sheet 1 is used. The sheet 15 is a plastic sheet such as polyvinyl chloride or polyester, and is generally a plain colored sheet, but an appropriate pattern or the like may be added if desired.

As shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), a thin support sheet 14 on which a release paper 17 and an adhesive layer 18 are sequentially formed is attached. The support sheet 14 is generally a plain colored sheet and has a thickness of 0.2.
Any plastic sheet such as polyvinyl chloride or polyester having a size of about mm may be used.

The support sheet 14 is replaced by the frame sheet 15
7B, after the sheet 15 is half-punched with a Thomson cutter or the like, the dregs are removed to form a large number of through holes 16 in the sheet 15. The planar shape of the through hole 16 is slightly larger than that of the sticker main body 11, and has an outer diameter of about 50 mm and 1 mm.
Only the difference below.

Next, the sticker body 11 is fitted into each through hole 16 of the sheet 15, and the sheet is covered with the transparent plastic film 13 as shown in FIG. 7C. The transparent film 13 is, for example, a film of polyester or polyvinyl chloride having a thickness of 16 to 50 μm, and may be a thin semitransparent film. If desired, the transparent film 13 may have a company name, an advertising phrase, a notice, etc. printed on its surface.

As shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 7 (c), the sheet 15 is punched by a Thomson cutter or the like for each sticker main body 11 by several millimeters in outer diameter to be larger than the planar shape thereof to form the sticker 10. The sticker 10 shown in FIG.
Then, although the sheet 15 is punched into an elliptical shape to form the frame body 12 like the elliptical sticker main body 11, it is punched into a circle, a rectangle, a square, a polygon or the like different from the planar shape of the sticker main body 11. It is also possible.

The high-brightness reflective sticker 10 of the present invention includes a frame body 12 having the same thickness that surrounds the periphery of the sticker body 11 as illustrated in FIG. Since the transparent film 13 covering the sticker 10 is attached to the surfaces of the sticker body 10 and the frame body 11 having the same thickness, it is beautiful without a gap between the sticker body 10 and the frame body 11. Transparent film containing air from the point 1
3 does not come off.

In the high brightness reflective sticker 10 of the present invention,
The inner peripheral wall of the frame body 12 is in close contact with the periphery of the sticker body 11 and the frame body protects the periphery of the sticker body 11 to enable long-term use. The high-brightness reflective sticker 10 can be attached to markings for vehicles such as automobiles, bicycles and rear cars, stickers, tags, safety signs or outdoor signs, and as a reflective sticker at the rear of a large truck, which the Ministry of Transport obliges to attach. Can also be used.

[0022]

The high-brightness reflective sticker according to the present invention,
The frame body surrounds the periphery of the sticker body, and the inner peripheral wall of the frame body is in close contact with the periphery of the sticker body. As a result, a large number of open air layers around the high-brightness reflection sheet are completely closed by the inner peripheral wall of the frame body, and water and the like are prevented from entering the air layers during sticking and use of the sticker.

In the high-brightness reflective sticker of the present invention, the transparent film on the surface does not peel off when it is attached to the rear part of an automobile or used, and the corner part is not partially chipped even when it comes into surface contact with other members. , It can be used for a long period of time in a beautiful state as it is when applied. The sticker of the present invention is less likely to be peeled off than the simple sticking sticker as shown in FIG. 4 because the adhered transparent film does not float up, and is aesthetically far superior as a high-grade sticker.

When the high-intensity reflective sticker of the present invention is used by being attached to the rear part of an automobile or the like, it is possible to maintain high reflective brightness and excellent wide-angle property, which are features of the high-intensity reflective sheet, for a long period of time. Further, the high-brightness reflective sticker of the present invention does not partially tear even when it is peeled from the rear part of an automobile for mark exchange, even if it is a strong pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and always peels in the complete shape. As a result, it is easy to exchange marks.

In the method of the present invention, the large number of through holes provided in the frame sheet are slightly larger than the planar shape of the sticker body punched from the capsule lens type reflection sheet,
The work of fitting the sticker body is easy. Each high-brightness reflective sticker can be punched from each frame sheet in which a large number of sticker bodies are fitted, and the work efficiency is high and the processing cost is low.
