Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a stencil plate set and its arrangement structure for use in buildings, parking lots, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] Various letters, numbers, and symbols are painted on floors and walls inside buildings, on the surfaces of parking lots, and other areas to guide and warn users, and stencil plates are widely used as tools for this purpose.

[0003] A stencil plate, also known as a stencil template, spray plate, or template, is a metal or plastic plate with openings formed into it in which the letters, numbers, symbols, or figures you want to transfer are formed.By placing the plate in the desired location and spraying mist-like paint onto it, you can easily transfer letters, etc., to that location.

[0004] Such stencil plates can transfer the same letters or numbers repeatedly, making them much easier to use than painting them each time, for example when applying signs such as "Watch your step" or "No open flames" in multiple work areas or areas where flammable materials are placed at a construction site. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Publication No. 56-129199 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, when using the above-mentioned stencil plate, it is necessary to mask the area around the stencil plate to prevent paint from being sprayed in unintended locations. However, this requires careful attention to prevent the stencil plate from shifting from the desired position or to prevent multiple stencil plates from shifting relative to each other, and masking tape or the like must be applied around the stencil plate, which creates the problem of being time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0007] Furthermore, if you want to transfer letters, numbers, symbols, or figures in multiple colors, you need to place multiple stencil plates corresponding to each color in the same position each time, which creates the problem of time-consuming alignment.

[0008] In addition, in the case of a multi-color configuration, the above-mentioned masking work becomes even more complicated because it is necessary to repeat the process of placing a stencil plate corresponding to each color, masking it, spraying it, and then removing the masking and removing the stencil plate for each color. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a stencil plate set and its arrangement structure that can improve masking workability while preventing misalignment of multiple stencil plates with respect to each other.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a stencil plate set and its arrangement structure that can prevent misalignment of multiple stencil plates with respect to each other, even when including a multi-color configuration, improve masking workability, and enable positioning of multiple stencil plates corresponding to each color in a short period of time.

[0011] In order to achieve the above object, the stencil plate set according to the present invention is, as set forth in claim 1, made up of a plurality of stencil plates, and the plurality of stencil plates includes a plurality of masking plates without openings, The plurality of masking plates, The direction perpendicular to the plate surface of each masking plate is defined as the out-of-plane direction, and the direction parallel to the plate surface is defined as the in-plane direction. The standard plate is made up of two substantially rectangular edge portions opposite each other, one of which has a first irregularity formed on it and the other of which has a second irregularity formed on it that can be fitted into the first irregularity from the out-of-plane direction and is restricted from separating in the in-plane direction, and a corner plate is made up of two substantially rectangular edge portions adjacent to each other at right angles, one of which has the first irregularity formed on it and the other of which has the second irregularity formed on it. This allows the multiple masking plates to be interconnected in a frame-like arrangement with the corner plates positioned at the corners and the standard plates positioned between them.

[0012] In addition, the stencil plate set according to the present invention includes at least one transfer plate among the plurality of stencil plates, in which letters, numbers, symbols, figures or other transfer images are formed as openings.

[0013] Furthermore, the stencil plate set according to the present invention includes a plurality of transfer plates that are placed at the same position and correspond to different colors, and the at least one transfer plate includes the plurality of transfer plates.

[0014] Furthermore, as described in claim 4, the arrangement structure of the stencil plate set of the present invention is the arrangement structure of the stencil plate set described in claim 2 or claim 3, in which the masking plates are arranged so as to form a frame shape as a whole, and the transfer plate is arranged in the inner area thereof.

[0015] The stencil plate set and its arrangement structure of the present invention include a plurality of masking plates consisting of standard plates and corner plates, and the standard plate has two opposite edge portions on one of which a first irregularity is formed and on the other of which a second irregularity is formed so that the first irregularity can be fitted into the first irregularity from the out-of-plane direction and is restricted from separating in the in-plane direction, and the corner plate has two adjacent edge portions on which the corner plate is perpendicular to each other, and on one of which the above-mentioned first irregularity is formed and on the other of which the second irregularity is formed.

[0016] In this way, when multiple masking plates are arranged in a frame shape with the corner plates positioned at the corners and the standard plates between them, two adjacent standard plates, or a standard plate and a corner plate, are connected to each other at their opposing edges in a way that prevents them from separating in the in-plane direction.This, combined with the overall integration achieved by the connecting action, eliminates the risk of adjacent masking plates shifting relative to each other in the in-plane direction.

[0017] Therefore, if a transfer plate is placed in the inner region of a plurality of masking plates arranged in a frame shape, the in-plane movement of the transfer plate is restricted by the masking plates, eliminating the concern of positional deviation.

[0018] Therefore, as long as the multiple masking plates arranged in a frame shape do not shift as a whole, it is sufficient to fit the transfer plate into its inner area, which not only eliminates the need to position them, but also prevents them from shifting from one another, and since the masking plates perform the masking function, there is no need to separately apply masking tape as in the past.

[0019] The first and second irregularities may have any shape as long as the second irregularity can be fitted into the first irregularity from the out-of-plane direction and is restricted from separating in the in-plane direction. A typical example is a convex portion that has an extension on the side closer to the outermost edge, and a concave portion that has an extension on the side farther from the outermost edge.

[0020] When transferring using the stencil plate set of the present invention, the transfer plate is placed in the inner area of ​​the masking plate, which is arranged so that the overall shape is frame-shaped, and therefore the transfer plate is also included in the stencil plate set of the present invention.

[0021] The transfer images formed by the openings in the transfer plate include letters, numbers, symbols, or figures, and letters include kanji, hiragana, katakana, and alphabets, but the type of transfer image formed as the openings is arbitrary.

[0022] Here, if it is desired to transfer in multiple colors, in the present invention, the multiple stencil plates can be configured to include at least one transfer plate in which letters, numbers, symbols, figures or other transfer images are formed as openings, and multiple transfer plates placed in the same position and each corresponding to a different color can be configured to be included in the at least one transfer plate.

[0023] In this configuration, in addition to achieving the same effects as those described above, the transfer plate can be removed after spraying is complete and the next transfer plate can be simply fitted into the same place, eliminating the need to position each transfer plate and the need to redo masking for each color.

[0025] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a stencil plate set and its arrangement structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] 1 is a layout diagram of a stencil plate set according to the present invention, which is composed of multiple masking plates 1. As shown in the figure, the multiple masking plates 1 according to this embodiment are composed of eight standard plates 2 and four corner plates 3.

[0027] The standard plate 2 and the corner plate 3 can be made of a plastic material such as polypropylene.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2, the standard plate 2 has a substantially square shape and two edges that are opposite each other. One of the edges has a first irregularity 4a, and the other has a second irregularity 4b that can be fitted into the first irregularity from the out-of-plane direction but is restricted from separating in the in-plane direction.

[0029] On the other hand, the corner plate 3 has a substantially square shape, and of two edges adjacent to each other at right angles, one has an unevenness 4a formed thereon and the other has an unevenness 4b formed thereon.

[0030] Since the purpose of Figure 2 is to show the connection state of the masking plates 1, one standard plate 2 on each side has been omitted.

[0031] The irregularities 4a have a shape that, when viewed as a convex portion, has an expansion on the side closer to the outermost edge, and when viewed as a concave portion, has an expansion on the side farther from the outermost edge. Similarly, the irregularities 4b have a shape that, when viewed as a convex portion, has an expansion on the side closer to the outermost edge, and when viewed as a concave portion, has an expansion on the side farther from the outermost edge.

[0032] To perform transfer using the masking plate 1, first, the masking plate 1 is arranged in a frame shape so that the corner plate 3 is positioned at the corner, the standard plate 2 is placed between them, and the inner area of ​​the masking plate 1 is positioned at the area to be transferred.

[0033] The transfer target area can be a floor of a building, for example, a work area on the floor of a building under construction where flammable building materials are temporarily placed.

[0034] When arranging them in a frame-like shape, the standard plate 2 is arranged so that the irregularities 4a of the standard plate 2 are fitted into the irregularities 4b of the adjacent standard plate 2 or corner plate 3 from the out-of-plane direction, and the corner plate 3 is arranged so that the irregularities 4a of the corner plate 3 are fitted into the irregularities 4b of the adjacent standard plate 2 from the out-of-plane direction.

[0035] In this way, two adjacent standard plates 2, 2, or a standard plate 2 and a corner plate 3, are connected to each other at their opposing edges in a way that restricts separation in the in-plane direction. This, combined with the overall integration achieved by the connecting action, eliminates the risk of adjacent masking plates 1 shifting relative to each other in the in-plane direction.

[0036] The masking plate 1 is fixed appropriately to the area to be transferred, but since there is no concern that the standard plate 2 and corner plates 3 that make up the masking plate will be misaligned with each other, it is sufficient to prevent misalignment as a whole.

[0037] Next, a desired transfer plate is placed on the inner area of ​​the masking plate 1 .

[0038] FIG. 3 shows an example in which, when the masking plate 1 is arranged as in FIG. 1, four transfer plates 32 are placed in the inner area 31 thereof.

[0039] These transfer plates 32 each have an opening formed in the kanji characters that are to be transferred, namely "fire," "air," "strict," and "prohibited." In the figure, these are arranged two by two vertically and horizontally, and then paint is sprayed onto them, so that the two-line string of characters "fire strictly prohibited" consisting of four kanji characters is transferred to the desired transfer target area.

[0040] The four transfer plates 32 are fitted into the inner region 31 of the masking plate 1, and their in-plane movement is restricted by the masking plate 1, so there is no need to position each one.

[0041] Once the four transfer plates 32 are placed on the area to be transferred, paint is sprayed onto them to transfer the transfer image to the area to be transferred, but since the masking plate 1 functions as a masking plate, the masking work before spraying that was previously performed is not necessary.

[0042] Next, the masking plate 1, which is made up of eight standard plates 2 and four corner plates 3, and the four transfer plates 32 are removed to prepare for the next transfer operation.

[0043] As described above, according to the stencil plate set and its arrangement structure of this embodiment, multiple masking plates 1 are arranged in a frame-like shape, with the corner plates 3 positioned at the corners and the standard plates 2 arranged side by side between them, and in this case, the unevenness 4a of the standard plate 2 is fitted into the unevenness 4b of the adjacent standard plate 2 or corner plate 3 from the out-of-plane direction, and the unevenness 4a of the corner plate 3 is fitted into the unevenness 4b of the adjacent standard plate 2 from the out-of-plane direction.Therefore, two adjacent standard plates 2, 2, or a standard plate 2 and a corner plate 3, are connected to each other at their opposing edges in a way that prevents them from separating in the in-plane direction, and this, combined with the overall integration achieved by the connecting action, eliminates the risk of adjacent masking plates 1 shifting relative to each other in the in-plane direction.

[0044] Therefore, if a transfer plate 32 is placed in the inner region 31 of multiple masking plates 1 arranged in a frame shape, the in-plane movement of the transfer plate is restricted by the masking plate 1, eliminating the risk of misalignment.

[0045] Therefore, as long as the multiple masking plates 1 arranged in a frame shape do not shift as a whole, it is sufficient for the transfer plate 32 to be fitted into the inner region 31 of the masking plate 1, which not only eliminates the hassle of positioning them, but also prevents them from shifting from one another, and since the masking plate 1 performs the masking function, there is no need to separately apply masking tape as in the past.

[0046] In this embodiment, the standard plate 2 is configured to have a square shape, but instead, a rectangular standard plate 2' as shown in FIG. 4 may be used.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transfer is performed using only one color of paint, in other words, one-color painting is assumed, but the stencil plate set of the present invention is ideal for multi-color painting, that is, when transfer is performed using multiple paints of different colors.

[0048] Figure 5 shows three transfer plates 51a, 51b, and 51c corresponding to black, yellow, and red as examples of transfer plates used for multi-color painting, each of which has openings formed therein corresponding to the zone where black is to be transferred, the zone where yellow is to be transferred, and the zone where red is to be transferred, respectively.

[0049] To perform transfer using these transfer plates 51a to 51c, as explained in the above embodiment, the masking plate 1 is placed on the area to be transferred and fixed appropriately, and then the transfer plate 51a is fitted into its inner area. As in the above embodiment, the transfer plate 51a is simply fitted into the inner area of ​​the masking plate 1, so no positioning work is required, and since in-plane movement is restricted by the masking plate, no fixing work is required.

[0050] Next, black paint is sprayed onto the transfer plate 51a to transfer the image of the openings 52a formed diagonally in a striped pattern. As in the above-described embodiment, the masking plate 1 functions as a masking plate, so the masking work before spraying, which was previously performed, is not necessary.

[0051] Next, while leaving the masking plate 1 as it is, the transfer plate 51a is removed and the transfer plate 51b is fitted in its place, and then yellow paint is sprayed onto the transfer plate 51b to transfer the transfer image of the openings 52b formed obliquely in a striped pattern onto the transfer plate 51b.

[0052] Here, the openings 52b formed in the diagonal striped pattern in the transfer plate 51b are offset by the width of the openings 52a formed in the diagonal striped pattern in the transfer plate 51a, so that the striped pattern transferred by the transfer plate 51b is transferred so as to fill in the gaps between the striped pattern transferred by the transfer plate 51a. Note that the series of steps of fitting the transfer plate 51b, spraying the paint, and removing it are the same as those for the transfer plate 51a, except for the paint color and transferred image, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0053] Next, while leaving the masking plate 1 in place, the transfer plate 51b is removed and the transfer plate 51c is fitted in its place, and then red paint is sprayed onto it to transfer the transfer image (the letters "CAUTION") of the opening 52c formed in the transfer plate 51c. Note that the series of steps of fitting the transfer plate 51c, spraying the paint, and removing it are the same as those for the transfer plate 51a, except for the paint color and the transfer image, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[0054] By successively switching between the three transfer plates 51a to 51c and spraying in this manner, a transfer image is transferred to the target area, as shown in Figure 6, consisting of a warning sign implied by black stripes 61a and yellow stripes 61b filling in the gaps between them, with the word "CAUTION" written in English letters 61c superimposed on top.

[0055] In such a transfer operation corresponding to multiple colors, in addition to achieving the same effects as the above-described embodiment, it is possible to simply remove the transfer plates 51a and 51b after spraying is complete and sequentially fit the next transfer plates 51b and 51c into the same locations, eliminating the need to position each of the transfer plates 51a to 51c and the need to redo masking for each color.

[0056] Furthermore, although not specifically mentioned in this embodiment, the arrangement of the masking plate is optional and can be determined appropriately according to the size and number of transfer plates to be fitted into the inner area, and it is also optional whether the inner area should be vertically long, horizontally long, or square.

[0057] Figure 7 shows an example in which the masking plate 1 is arranged in a frame-like shape with its internal area being vertically long so that the four transfer plates 32 can be arranged in a vertical row to write the message "No open flames allowed" vertically.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the unevenness 4a and the unevenness 4b have a shape in which convex portions and concave portions are repeated in a wave-like pattern along the periphery, but the second unevenness of the present invention is sufficient as long as it has a shape that can be fitted into the first unevenness from the out-of-plane direction and is restricted from separation in the in-plane direction. For example, as shown in Figure 8, the first unevenness formed on the standard plate 82 may be configured as flared convex portions 81a provided near the center of the edge, and the second unevenness may be recessed portions 81b shaped to fit into the convex portions, and the first unevenness formed on the corner plate 83 may be configured as flared convex portions 81a provided near the center of the edge, and the second unevenness may be recessed portions 81b shaped to fit into the convex portions.
