Abstract
The present invention relates to a foil stamping die used for foil stamping, and a method of manufacturing a vehicle interior component using the foil stamping die. An object of the present invention is to provide a foil stamping technique capable of enhancing the design property of a printing object. In a foil stamping die capable of transferring a foil to the printing object while applying an uneven pattern to a surface of the printing object by pressing the die toward the printing object on which the foil is placed, a pattern-shape portion which is a portion corresponding to the uneven pattern is provided, and an edge of the pattern-shape portion has the same thickness over the entire area thereof.
Claims6
A foil stamping die that can be pressed against a printing object, on which a foil is placed, to transfer the foil to the printing object while applying an uneven pattern to a surface of the printing object,
- the foil stamping die comprising:
- a pattern-shape portion which is a portion corresponding to the uneven pattern, and
- an edge portion entirely surrounding the pattern-shape portion, the edge portion having a constant thickness,
- wherein a direction corresponding to a direction in which the uneven pattern extends on the surface of the printing object is a longitudinal direction and a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is a width direction,
- the foil stamping die further comprising:
- a protrusion at a longitudinal-direction end of the pattern-shape portion, the protrusion extending farther than the pattern-shape portion such that the pattern-shape portion is recessed relative to the protrusion, and,
- wherein the edge portion is disposed between the protrusion and the pattern-shape portion at the longitudinal-direction end of the pattern-shape portion.
A foil stamping die that can be pressed against a printing object, on which a foil is placed, to transfer the foil to the printing object while applying an uneven pattern to a surface of the printing object,
- the foil stamping die comprising:
- a pattern-shape portion which is a portion corresponding to the uneven pattern,
- an edge portion entirely surrounding the pattern-shape portion, the edge portion having a constant thickness,
- wherein a direction corresponding to a direction in which the uneven pattern extends on the surface of the printing object is a longitudinal direction and a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is a width direction,
- wherein an end of the edge portion, which is an end in a direction orthogonal to both the longitudinal direction and the width direction is a flat surface and the entire pattern-shape portion and edge portion abuts against the foil, and the foil is transferred to the surface of the printing object over the entire pattern-shape portion and edge portion,
- wherein at least a portion of the pattern-shape portion is a recess that is recessed from the end of the edge portion, and the recess of the pattern-shape portion has a curved surface.
