  • Patent number: 11768320
    Abstract: Provided is a reflective glitter heat transfer sheet having a retroreflective structure. The reflective glitter heat transfer sheet includes: a reflective glitter layer comprising an adhesive, and glass beads and glitter particles embedded inside the adhesive; a primer layer disposed on the reflective glitter layer; and a hot melt layer formed on the primer layer for conducting heat transfer to an article to which the reflective glitter heat transfer sheet is to be applied. Each of the glass beads is a retroreflector for achieving retroreflection, and each of the glitter particles is a reflector for achieving diffuse reflection.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210373209
    Abstract: Provided is a reflective glitter heat transfer sheet combined with a retroreflective structure, the reflective glitter heat transfer sheet including: a reflective glitter layer having glass beads and glitter particles arranged in an adhesive attached to a carrier film. The glass beads and the glitter particles are held in a state of being arranged in the adhesive by the adhesive, each of the glass beads is a retroreflector for achieving retroreflection, and each of the glitter particles is a reflector for achieving diffuse reflection. A primer layer is disposed on the reflective glitter layer, and a hot melt layer is formed on the primer layer for conducting heat transfer to an article to which the reflective glitter heat transfer sheet is to be applied.

  • Patent number: 9632220
    Abstract: A decal for manufacturing a multi-colored retroreflective sticker having a variety of colorful letters or patterns includes: a glass bead layer including a printing layer having the colorful letters or patterns made of dye-based ink, on one side of the glass bead layer; a transparent reflective layer formed on the other side of the glass bead layer and having a polarization element and a diffused reflection element sequentially deposited; an opaque bonding layer including a mixture of polyurethane and a white pigment and applied on the reflective layer to hold the glass bead layer; a thermal adhesive layer applied on the bonding layer; and a carrier sheet removably attached on the thermal adhesive layer by an adhesive remover layer, thereby obtaining uniform luminance under an artificial light source and high brightness and saturation under a natural light source.

  • Patent number: 6514586
    Abstract: A hot stamping foil comprising a heat-resistant, flexible carrier sheet of a synthetic resinous material; a release layer of a heat-resistant, flexible synthetic resinous material provided on the carrier sheet and having a lower melting point than the carrier sheet; a laninar assembly having a glass bead layer on the release layer, an aluminum layer on the glass bead layer and an adhesive layer on the aluminum layer; and wherein heat and pressure applied to the cater sheet causes the laminar assembly to be released from the release layer.
