  • Publication number: 20050175818
    Abstract: A decorative sheet with excellent designability, abrasion resistance, weather resistance, and solvent resistance, which is easy to apply and displays low levels of adhesive transferability is provided. A decorative sheet (50) comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive layer (52), a first primer layer (53) that contacts this layer (52), a decorative layer (54) that contacts this layer (53), a second primer layer (55) that contacts this layer (54), and a radiation cured coating layer (56) that contacts this layer (55), wherein the first primer layer (53) comprises at least 25% by weight of at least one thermoplastic resin selected from a group consisting of vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resins, acrylic based resins and urethane based resins.

  • Publication number: 20050170126
    Abstract: A decorative film prepared by a transcription printing of the present invention is capable of providing a decorative film with excellent durability. A decorative film of the present invention comprises a primer layer formed on the adhesive layer, in which is composed of a resin having a releasing property to a releasing sheet for transfer and a functional group in a molecular chain to which the cross-linking agent reacts, a decorative layer including an ink, in which is formed on the primer layer, and a curable resin layer cured by radiation, in which is formed on the primer layer, and contains a cross-linked resin material between the adhesive layer and the primer layer.

  • Publication number: 20040170855
    Abstract: A decorative film-like material prepared by a transcription printing of the present invention is capable of providing a decorative film-like material with little release between layers as well as with excellent durability. A decorative film-like material of the present invention is composed of a primer layer and a resin layer cured by heat or radiation formed on by curing after coating on the primer layer and has a cross linked resin between a primer layer and a bond/an adhesive, which is a cross linked material between layers in which a molecular chain of a resin and a cross linking agent react together.

  • Patent number: 4288747
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the contour of a conductive object to be measured, includes eddy-current distance measuring means having a plurality of detection sensors which are arranged in a row at positions along a predetermined reference line, and the sensors are sequentially energized at a predetermined scanning period so as to self-scan the distance from the surface of the object and thereby to produce for each scanning cycle a contour output signal combining the outputs of all the sensors.
