Abstract
A predetermined pattern is printed on a surface of a material on which a flock pattern is desired, using crosslinking type synthetic resin as the printing ink and utilizing the printing method such as the screen printing process. A solidly flocked paper is then applied on the pattern formed of the ink, and is heated and pressed together, so that the crosslinking reaction takes place in the synthetic resin. Thus, when the flocked paper is peeled off from the surface of the material, a flock pattern of the predetermined shape is formed thereon.
Claims5
A flock pattern forming method comprising the steps of:
- (a) printing a solution of a synthetic resin capable of being cross-linked on a surface of a material using a screen printing process, on which a predetermined pattern is to be formed thereby forming a flock transplanting adhesive layer having the form of said predetermined pattern on said surface;
- (b) superposing flock solidly planted on a mount on said adhesive layer before said adhesive layer is dried;
- (c) drying said adhesive layer by heating under a predetermined pressure thereby cross-linking the synthetic resin and attaching the tips of said flock on said mount to said surface of the material;
- and
- (d) peeling said mount thereby transplanting a portion of said flock to said surface of said material to form a flock pattern in said predetermined pattern.
