<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of quite naturally imparting a natural pattern configuration such as a grain pattern or the like on the surface of a workpiece, further having extremely easy imparting work, and entirely requiring no skill of a worker. <P>SOLUTION: In a pattern imparting carrier for imparting a configured liquid colorlant on the surface of the workpiece, the pattern imparting carrier is formed of a first section 17 supporting the liquid colorlant on the surface of a carrier and a second section 18 having a colorlant supporting strength lower than the first supporting section 17, and forming an original pattern by the first and the second sections. In a method for abutting the pattern imparting carrier on the workpiece to impart a configured colorlant on the surface of the workpiece, the method for imparting the pattern includes a first pattern imparting process for abutting the pattern imparting carrier on the workpiece to impart the configuration on the surface of the workpiece, and a second pattern imparting process for abutting the pattern imparting carrier during the liquid colorlant is in a fluid sate to impart the configuration on the surface of the workpiece containing part of the pattern imparted at the first pattern imparting process. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
