Abstract

A member adhering decoration method capable of enhancing processability in comparison with conventional methods is provided. The member adhering decoration method for decorating a target object ( 11 ) by adhering a decoration member ( 13 a ), which is a member for decoration, onto the object ( 11 ) includes: a primer layer formation step for ink jet printing a tack-containing coating, which is a coating that contains a tack, onto the object ( 11 ) during curing or drying to form a primer layer ( 12 ) on the object ( 11 ) by using the tack-containing coating; and a decoration layer formation step for applying the decoration member ( 13 a ) onto the primer layer ( 12 ) formed by the primer layer formation step to thereby form a decoration layer ( 13 ) composed of the decoration member ( 13 a ) on the primer layer ( 12 ) by using the tack of the primer layer ( 12 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A member adhering decoration method for decorating a target object by adhering a decoration member, which is a member for decoration, onto the target object, the method comprising:
a primer layer forming step for ink jet printing a tack-containing coating having a tack after curing, onto the target object, to form a primer layer on the target object by using the tack-containing coating; and
a decoration layer forming step for applying the decoration member onto the primer layer formed by the primer layer forming step after curing, wherein a decoration layer composed of the decoration member is formed on the primer layer using the tack of the primer layer;
wherein the tack-containing coating is an ultraviolet curing coating;
the primer layer forming step is a step of forming the primer layer on the target object by discharging the tack-containing coating onto the target object, along with irradiating the discharged tack-containing coating by UV ink jet printing; and
the decoration layer forming step is a step of sowing the decoration member on the primer layer using the tack of the primer layer in a state where the primer layer does not spread on the target object by its own weight or wettability.

2. The member adhering decoration method according to claim 1 , comprising: a primer layer heating step for heating the primer layer on which the decoration layer is formed in the decoration layer forming step, to a temperature equal to or greater than a glass transition point of the primer layer.

3. The member adhering decoration method according to claim 1 , comprising:
a primer layer heating step for heating the primer layer on which the decoration layer is formed in the decoration layer forming step, to a temperature equal to or greater than a glass transition point of the primer layer; and
a decoration layer pressing step for pressing the decoration layer against the primer layer after the primer layer heating step, at a time point when the temperature of the primer layer is equal to or greater than the glass transition point.

4. The member adhering decoration method according to claim 1 , comprising: a protective layer forming step for forming a protective layer that protects the decoration layer formed in the decoration layer forming step, on the decoration layer.

5. The member adhering decoration method according to claim 4 , wherein the protective layer forming step is a step of forming the protective layer by ink jet printing.

6. The member adhering decoration method according to claim 5 , wherein the protective layer forming step is a step of forming the protective layer having light permeability by color ink jet printing.

7. The member adhering decoration method according to claim 6 , wherein print data used in the ink jet printing in the primer layer forming step and print data used in the ink jet printing in the protective layer forming step are print data in which outer shapes of figures to be printed are identical.

8. The member adhering decoration method according to claim 4 , wherein the protective layer forming step is a step of forming the protective layer by dripping a curing composite resin in a heap.

9. The member adhering decoration method according to claim 1 , wherein the decoration member is a fiber.
