Pattern transferred can and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

By touching a band type transfer mold member 13 formed with micro protrusion and recess parts 13a thereon on a can 11 and holding and pressing the can 11 and the band type transfer mold member 13 with a pattern surface forming mold member 14 and a press-supporting mold member 15, a micro protrusions and recesses pattern 12 is transferred to the can. By using separate transfer mold members of the band type transfer mold member having the micro protrusion and recess parts and the pattern surface forming mold member having the pattern surface forming part to form the micro protrusion and recess patterns, the band type transfer mold member can be moved little by little or by a length equivalent to the circumference of the can or can be replaced in accordance with the number of cans to be processed whereby continuous transfer can be realized without being affected by build-up due to clogging or wear of the micro protrusions and recesses and a large scale production at a high speed can be achieved.
