Decal transferring method and decal transferring device

Abstract

A decal transferring method which, when a molded article has a pattern misalignedly transferred thereto, is capable of automatically correcting the misalignment such that the molded article has such pattern transferred thereto at a predetermined position. In the case where there is misalignment of the pattern in a molded article, the misalignment dimension and misalignment direction of the pattern (21) in the molded article (b) are detected as digital values, and a decal transfer film (20) is automatically moved by an amount corresponding to the detected misalignment dimension in a direction opposite to the detected misalignment direction so as to correct the position, whereupon the pattern (21) is transferred to the predetermined position on the transfer-molded article (b).

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a transfer molding method and a transfer molding device for sandwiching a transfer film between molds and transferring a pattern on the transfer film to a molded product simultaneously with the molding. Background technique

[0002] A transfer molding device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 1-59095 is known.

[0003] This transfer molding device is equipped with: a movable die set on a movable plate, a fixed die set on a fixed plate, an injection nozzle, a film for transfer, and a film mounted on a plate so that it can move freely in the width direction of the film for transfer. A film delivery device on the upper portion of the movable platen, a film winding device and a transfer film position detection device mounted on the lower portion of the movable platen movably in the width direction of the transfer film.

[0004] Then, the transfer film is moved in the longitudinal direction while the m...
