ACTIVATOR APPLYING DEVICE, HYDRAULIC TRANSFER APPARATUS INCORPORATING THE SAME ACTIVATOR APPLYING DEVICE, AND ARTICLE WITH HYDRAULICALLY TRANSFERRED PATTERN MANUFACTURED WITH THE SAME HYDRAULIC TRANSFER APPARATUS

摘要

Activator applying device including a receiving pan that stores an activator for activation of a transfer film, and a spreading roller that rotates while being dipped in the activator in the receiving pan and applies the activator that has adhered to the surface thereof in a dip section of the activator applying device to the transfer pattern in a different section of the activator applying device. The activator is fed to the receiving pan in an amount greater than the amount of the activator applied to the transfer pattern, and an excessive activator is discharged through a discharge port of the receiving pan. The activator is applied to the transfer pattern with the discharge port being located on the side where the activator is drawn up from the dip section, and the discharge port being located at the position of a streak caused by uneven dispersion of the additive pigment.

主权项

1. An activator applying device that applies an activator containing an additive pigment such as a scale of pigment or a color pigment having a different specific gravity to a transfer film, which includes a water-soluble film and a dry transfer pattern formed thereon, during transportation of the transfer film to a transfer liquid tank to activate the transfer pattern on the transfer film when the transfer film with the transfer pattern facing up is fed onto a surface of a liquid in the transfer liquid tank, a work piece is pressed against the transfer film from above, and the transfer pattern is transferred to the work piece by the action of a hydraulic pressure caused by the pressing,
wherein the activator applying device comprises a receiving pan that stores the activator, and a spreading roller that rotates while being dipped in the activator in the receiving pan and applies the activator that has adhered to the surface thereof in a dip section of the activator applying device to the transfer pattern in a different section of the activator applying device, the activator is fed to the receiving pan in an amount greater than the amount of the activator applied to the transfer pattern, an excessive activator is discharged through a discharge port of the receiving pan, and the activator is applied to the transfer pattern with the discharge port being located on the side where the activator is drawn up from the dip section, and the discharge port being located at the position of a streak caused by uneven dispersion of the additive pigment.
