  • Publication number: 20220001687
    Abstract: A transfer sheet is configured to include a base sheet; a releasable layer laminated on the base sheet, containing an ultraviolet curing resin, and including minute irregularities on at least part of a surface opposite to a surface in contact with the base sheet; a peeling layer laminated entirely on the releasable layer; and a single color solid print layer laminated in a section on the peeling layer corresponding at least to a region where the minute irregularities of the releasable layer are formed. A maximum width W of a recessed portion of the minute irregularities and a depth D of the recessed portion of the minute irregularities satisfy 10?W/D?50, W?100 ?m and 2 ?m?D?10 ?m. At least one of the number of recessed portions per unit area and the depth of the recessed portion changes stepwise.

  • Publication number: 20210299933
    Abstract: A manufacturing method is configured to include arranging a conductive circuit-attached film, in which a conductive circuit having stretchability is formed on a base film, on a molding surface of a first mold having the molding surface for forming an internal surface of a preform; mold-clamping the first mold and a second mold paired with the first mold; molding the preform by injecting molten resin into a cavity formed by the mold-clamping; mold-opening the first mold and the second mold; taking out a conductive circuit-attached preform in which the conductive circuit-attached film and the preform are integrated; and blow-molding the conductive circuit-attached preform.

  • Patent number: 10981368
    Abstract: Provided are a decorative glass panel having a three-dimensional metal design and a manufacturing method for the decorative glass panel, the method exhibiting enhanced productivity. A decorative glass panel 10 includes: a glass substrate 15; an adhesive layer 11 formed on the glass substrate 15; a non-uniform pattern layer 12 formed on the adhesive layer 11; and a vapor-deposited metal layer 13 formed on the non-uniform pattern layer 12. In the glass substrate 15, a section that is a portion of a back surface of the glass substrate 15 and that is bent from a flat surface section 30 to an upright section 31 forms a curved surface 32. The non-uniform pattern layer 12 has, in a surface facing the vapor-deposited metal layer 13, which is a top surface thereof, a non-uniform pattern formed by depressions 40 and protrusions 41.

  • Patent number: 10882073
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a decorated article having a smooth printing surface by performing an inkjet printing to an uneven surface of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic molding. An uncured rough-surface ink layer is formed on an undecorated uneven surface by performing an inkjet printing and using an active energy ray curable ink, and a temporary cover film is disposed to cover an upper surface of the uncured rough-surface ink layer. The surface of the uncured rough-surface ink layer is smoothed by applying a pressing force to the uncured rough-surface ink layer from the upper surface of the temporary cover film. An active energy ray is applied, so that a cured smooth ink layer is formed, and the temporary cover film is peeled.

  • Patent number: 10596743
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide: a method of producing molded article having conductive circuit, whereby a molded article having a conductive circuit following a three-dimensional curved surface can be easily obtained even using blow molding; and a preform having a conductive circuit, used to obtain said molded article having a conductive circuit. [Solution] This method of producing a molded article having a conductive circuit is configured such that: an ink having stretchability is used and a conductive circuit layer is formed upon a preform; and the preform is blow-molded and a molded article having a conductive circuit is obtained. This preform having a conductive circuit is for obtaining a molded article having a conductive circuit, by using blow molding, and is configured so as to have a conductive circuit layer Ruined upon the preform by using a stretchable ink.

  • Patent number: 10418202
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a membrane switch member that can be manufactured easily and that can be caused to function as an electrostatic sensor even when a protruding portion is pressed. Injection molding by injecting a material including a supercritical fluid gas and a resin material in a mixed state; and, after the injection molding, removing a first mold from a second mold, causing gas produced within the injection molded resin to grow in concave portions, thereby causing the concave portions to invert to a protruding state; and manufacturing a membrane switch member in which voids are formed between the protruding portions and a molding resin layer, and portions other than the portions corresponding to the protruding portions are adhered to the resin layer by an adhesion layer.
