Decal transferring method and decal transferring device

A transferring and molding apparatus comprising:

• an injection molding section for executing a transferring and molding operation by putting a stationary die and a movable die into a die closed state and a die open state and for injecting a molten resin into a cavity of both the dies in the die closed state to form a molded article concurrently with transferring onto the molded article a pattern of a transfer film which has the pattern to be transferred onto the molded article and at least one of a lengthwise direction mark and a widthwise direction mark;
• a transfer film moving section for moving and positioning the transfer film in a lengthwise direction thereof with respect to a die parting surface of the die of the injection molding section before the transferring and molding operation and for moving the transfer film in at least one of the lengthwise direction and a widthwise direction of the transfer film during positional correction;
• a pattern detection section for obtaining a first digital value by detecting a shift dimension and a shift direction of the pattern of the molded article that has undergone the transferring and molding operation;
• and
• a sensor section for obtaining an amount of shift of the mark in form of a second digital value,
• wherein the transfer film is moved in at least one of a lengthwise direction and a widthwise direction of the transfer film by the transfer film moving section based on a value and a direction to be corrected which are obtained from both the first and second digital values.
