Description

本発明は、転写版たる箔の表面に形成された模様や文字等の柄を被転写部材の周回面に熱転写する熱転写加工機に関し、より詳しくは、被転写面を一定の太さで形成した被転写部材に熱転写加工を行う熱転写加工機に装着することによって、同熱転写加工機で、被転写面をテーパ状に形成した被転写部材への熱転写加工を必要に応じて行わせることができる箔の姿勢調整装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a thermal transfer processing machine that thermally transfers a pattern such as a pattern or a character formed on the surface of a foil as a transfer plate onto a circumferential surface of a member to be transferred. More specifically, the surface to be transferred is formed with a constant thickness. Foil that can be transferred to a member to be transferred with a taper-shaped transfer surface as needed by mounting the heat transfer processing machine on the member to be transferred. The present invention relates to a posture adjusting device.

従来、転写版たる箔の表面に形成された模様や文字等の柄を被転写部材の周回面に熱転写する熱転写加工機（例えば、特許文献１、２参照）には、被転写面を一定の太さで形成した被転写部材に熱転写加工を行う熱転写加工機と、被転写面をテーパ状に形成した被転写部材に熱転写加工を行うテーパ部材専用の熱転写加工機の少なくとも２タイプがあり、これらの熱転写加工機は被転写部材の形態によって使い分けられている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a thermal transfer processing machine (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2) that thermally transfers a pattern such as a pattern or a character formed on the surface of a foil as a transfer plate to a circumferential surface of a member to be transferred, the surface to be transferred is fixed. There are at least two types: a thermal transfer processing machine that performs thermal transfer processing on a transfer target member that is formed with a thickness, and a thermal transfer processing machine that is dedicated to a taper member that performs thermal transfer processing on a transfer target member whose transfer surface is tapered. These thermal transfer processing machines are selectively used depending on the form of the member to be transferred.

しかしながら、被転写面をテーパ状に形成した被転写部材に熱転写加工を行うテーパ部材専用の熱転写加工機は、被転写面を一定の太さで形成した被転写部材に熱転写加工を行う熱転写加工機に比して非常に高額であるため、昨今の経済情勢では容易に導入することができず、被転写面をテーパ状に形成した被転写部材に対する熱転写加工の依頼があってもこれを受注することができなかった。   However, a thermal transfer processing machine dedicated to a taper member that performs thermal transfer processing on a transfer member having a transfer surface formed in a tapered shape is a thermal transfer processing machine that performs thermal transfer processing on a transfer member having a transfer surface having a constant thickness. Because it is very expensive compared to the current situation, it cannot be easily introduced in the current economic situation, and even if there is a request for thermal transfer processing for a member to be transferred having a tapered surface to be transferred, an order is received. I couldn't.

また、被転写面をテーパ状に形成した被転写部材に熱転写加工を行うテーパ部材専用の熱転写加工機は、転写版たる箔の位置決めが非常に困難で、さらに、このテーパ部材専用の熱転写加工機は一方向のテーパ形状にしか対応できないため、被転写部材が先細に形成された正テーパのものへは熱転写加工はできるが、先太に形成された逆テーパのものへは熱転写加工ができないといった非常に不便を感じるものであった。   In addition, the thermal transfer processing machine dedicated to the taper member that performs thermal transfer processing on the transfer target member having the transfer surface formed in a taper shape is very difficult to position the foil as the transfer plate. Can only handle a taper shape in one direction, so that the transfer member can be heat-transferred to a taper with a tapered taper, but it cannot be transferred to a taper with a reverse taper. It was very inconvenient.

特開平７−２９０６８６号公報（第１〜６頁、図１〜５）JP-A-7-290686 (pages 1-6, FIGS. 1-5) 実開平５−７４４５号公報（第１〜４頁、図１〜７）Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-7445 (pages 1 to 4, FIGS. 1 to 7)

本発明の目的とするところは、被転写面を一定の太さで形成した被転写部材に熱転写加工を行う熱転写加工機によって、被転写面を正テーパもしくは逆テーパで形成した被転写部材にも必要に応じ熱転写加工を行うことができて、かつ、被転写面を一定の太さで形成した被転写部材への熱転写加工から被転写面をテーパ状に形成した被転写部材への熱転写加工に作業を移行する際（逆の作業移行の場合も）の移行にかかる時間を短縮できるようにすることにある。   The object of the present invention is also to a transferred member in which the transferred surface is formed with a forward taper or a reverse taper by a thermal transfer processing machine that performs thermal transfer processing on the transferred member having the transferred surface formed with a constant thickness. Thermal transfer processing can be performed as needed, and from a thermal transfer process to a transfer member having a transfer surface having a constant thickness, to a transfer member having a transfer surface formed in a tapered shape. The purpose is to reduce the time required for transferring work (even in the case of reverse work transfer).

そして、本発明者は上述する課題を解決できる方法を鋭意検討し、その結果、熱転写加工機の熱転写部に搬送される箔の転写柄の形成面を、同熱転写加工機にセットした被転写部材の被転写面にほぼ平行になるように箔の走行姿勢を調整することによって、被転写面を一定の太さで形成した被転写部材に熱転写加工を行う熱転写加工機によって、被転写面を正テーパもしくは従来では転写加工が不可に等しかった逆テーパ状に形成した被転写部材にも熱転写加工を必要に応じて行うことができ、かつ、被転写面を一定の太さで形成した被転写部材への熱転写加工から被転写面をテーパ（正テーパ／逆テーパ）状に形成した被転写部材への熱転写加工に作業を移行する際（逆の作業移行の場合も）の移行にかかる時間を短縮できることを見出した。   Then, the inventor diligently studied a method capable of solving the above-described problems, and as a result, a member to be transferred in which the transfer pattern forming surface of the foil conveyed to the thermal transfer unit of the thermal transfer processing machine was set in the thermal transfer processing machine. By adjusting the running posture of the foil so that it is almost parallel to the surface to be transferred, the surface to be transferred is corrected by a thermal transfer processing machine that performs heat transfer processing on the member to be transferred having a constant thickness. A member to be transferred, which can be subjected to thermal transfer processing on a transfer member formed in a tapered shape or a taper or a reverse taper, which has been impossible to transfer in the past, if necessary, and the transfer surface has a constant thickness. Reduces the time required to transfer from the thermal transfer process to the thermal transfer process to the transfer target with the transfer surface tapered (forward taper / reverse taper) Heading what you can do .

上述した課題を解決するために、本発明に係る転写加工機における箔の姿勢調整装置は、転写柄を形成した熱転写用の帯状の箔を一端より熱転写部に搬送し、同箔の転写柄を、同熱転写部にセットした所定の被転写部材の被転写面に少なくとも熱と圧力によって転写する熱転写加工機に装着して使用する箔の姿勢調整装置であって、同姿勢調整装置は、箔の搬送面に対し進退移動できる所定の進退手段に、箔に形成した転写柄の幅よりも長い押動体を箔の幅方向に対向させ、かつ箔の幅方向に自由にシーソ動作ができるように前記押動体を支持し、前記被転写部材の被転写面がテーパ状のものであるときに姿勢調整装置を作動させることによって、姿勢調整装置の押動体が熱転写部に搬送される箔の搬送面を押動し、同搬送される箔における転写柄の形成面を被転写部材におけるテーパ状の被転写面にほぼ平行になるよう箔の走行姿勢を調整できるようにしたものとしてある。   In order to solve the above-described problem, the foil posture adjusting device in the transfer processing machine according to the present invention transports the heat transfer belt-like foil formed with the transfer pattern from one end to the heat transfer unit, and transfers the transfer pattern of the foil. , A foil posture adjusting device that is mounted and used in a thermal transfer processing machine that transfers at least heat and pressure to a transfer target surface of a predetermined transfer member set in the same heat transfer portion. The predetermined advancing / retracting means capable of moving back and forth with respect to the transport surface is configured so that a pressing body longer than the width of the transfer pattern formed on the foil is opposed to the width direction of the foil and the seesaw operation can be freely performed in the width direction of the foil. By supporting the pusher and operating the posture adjustment device when the transfer surface of the transfer member is tapered, the transfer surface of the foil on which the pusher of the posture adjustment device is transferred to the thermal transfer unit In the foil being pushed and conveyed The forming surface of the copy pattern is as that to be able to adjust the running attitude of the foil so as to be substantially parallel to the tapered the transferred surface in the transfer member.

また、前記進退手段を、シリンダ部材で構成したものとしてあり、特に、エアシリンダで構成したものとしてある。   Further, the advance / retreat means is constituted by a cylinder member, in particular, an air cylinder.

また、前記押動体の押動面を、前記箔の搬送方向に対して円弧状に形成したものとしてある。   Further, the pushing surface of the pushing body is formed in an arc shape with respect to the conveying direction of the foil.

また、前記押動体の押動面に、摩擦低減化処理を実施したものとしてあり、特に、フッ素樹脂の塗布、もしくは、フッ素樹脂を塗布したシートを貼り付けるものとしてある。   In addition, a friction reducing process is performed on the pushing surface of the pushing body, and in particular, a fluorine resin coating or a sheet coated with a fluorine resin is pasted.

また、前記押動体を、搬送している箔の幅方向に自由にシーソ動作ができるよう進退手段に支持したベース部材に、所定の弾発手段を介して箔の搬送面に対し弾発動作ができるように取り付けたものとしてある。   In addition, the base member supported by the advancing / retracting means can perform a repelling operation on the foil transport surface via a predetermined repelling means so that the seesaw operation can be freely performed in the width direction of the conveyed foil. It is attached as possible.

また、前記弾発手段を、押動体の両端部近傍にそれぞれ配設したものとしてある。   In addition, the elastic means is disposed in the vicinity of both ends of the pusher.

また、前記弾発手段を、コイルばねで構成したものとしてあり、特に、圧縮コイルばねで構成したものとしてある。   Further, the elastic means is constituted by a coil spring, and in particular, it is constituted by a compression coil spring.

本発明に係る転写加工機における箔の姿勢調整装置によれば、本姿勢調整装置を、被転写面を一定の太さで形成した被転写部材に熱転写加工を行う一般的な熱転写加工機に装着することで、この一般的な熱転写加工機でも、被転写面をテーパ状に形成した被転写部材への熱転写加工を行うことができるようになる。   According to the foil posture adjusting device in the transfer processing machine according to the present invention, the posture adjusting device is mounted on a general heat transfer processing machine that performs heat transfer processing on a member to be transferred having a surface to be transferred having a constant thickness. As a result, even with this general thermal transfer processing machine, it is possible to perform thermal transfer processing on a transfer target member having a transfer target surface formed in a tapered shape.

さらに、前記テーパ形状も、先細に形成された正テーパの被転写部を有する被転写部材、従来では転写加工が不可に等しかった先太に形成された逆テーパの被転写面を有する被転写部材のいずれのものにも熱転写加工を行うことができる。   Furthermore, the taper shape also has a taper-shaped transfer target member having a forward-tapered transfer-target portion, and a transfer-target member having a reverse taper transfer-target surface formed in a thick tip, which has conventionally been impossible to transfer. Any of these can be subjected to thermal transfer processing.

そして、押動体を、搬送している箔の幅方向に進退移動できるように構成しているものは、被転写面のテーパ角度（垂直方向に対する傾き角度）が６度程度の被転写部材まで対応できる。   In addition, the structure in which the pusher can be moved back and forth in the width direction of the transported foil is applicable to a member to be transferred whose taper angle (tilt angle with respect to the vertical direction) of the surface to be transferred is about 6 degrees. it can.

そして、被転写面を一定の太さで形成した被転写部材への熱転写加工から被転写面をテーパ（正テーパ／逆テーパ）状に形成した被転写部材への熱転写加工に作業を移行する際（逆の作業移行の場合も）、姿勢調整装置の押動体を所定の方向に移動さるだけで、テーパ（正テーパ／逆テーパ）状に形成した被転写部材への熱転写加工を行う所定の準備を完了できるので、同移行にかかる時間を短縮できて製造作業のタイムロスを大幅に低減することができる。   When transferring from a thermal transfer process to a transfer member having a transfer surface having a constant thickness to a thermal transfer process to a transfer member having a transfer surface having a tapered shape (forward taper / reverse taper) Predetermined preparation for thermal transfer processing to a transfer member formed into a taper (forward taper / reverse taper) by simply moving the pusher of the posture adjusting device in a predetermined direction (even in the case of reverse work transition) Therefore, the time required for the migration can be shortened, and the time loss of manufacturing work can be greatly reduced.

本発明に係る転写加工機における箔の姿勢調整装置を、以下、添付図面に基づいて説明する。   DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A foil posture adjusting device in a transfer processing machine according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

本発明の姿勢調整装置１は、図１に示すように、熱転写加工機内における熱転写用のシリコンローラ２や被転写部材５のセット部などを備える熱転写部と搬送する箔３のガイド部材４との間の熱転写部寄りに配設している。   As shown in FIG. 1, the posture adjustment apparatus 1 of the present invention includes a thermal transfer unit including a thermal transfer silicon roller 2 and a set part of a transferred member 5 in a thermal transfer processing machine, and a guide member 4 of a foil 3 to be conveyed. It is arranged near the thermal transfer part.

また、姿勢調整装置１の配設は、搬送する箔３の転写柄が形成された転写面３ａを、被転写部材５の被転写面５ａ方向に押せるように配設している。   In addition, the posture adjusting device 1 is arranged so that the transfer surface 3 a on which the transfer pattern of the foil 3 to be conveyed is formed can be pressed in the direction of the transfer surface 5 a of the transferred member 5.

そして、図１に示した熱転写部にセットしている被転写部材５は、被転写部たる被転写面５ａを一定の太さで形成した被転写部材なので、姿勢調整装置１は作動していない状態にある。   The transfer member 5 set in the thermal transfer portion shown in FIG. 1 is a transfer member having a transfer surface 5a, which is a transfer portion, formed with a constant thickness. Is in a state.

姿勢調整装置１の構成は、図２に示すように、押動体６が図中に示した矢印Ａの方向に自由にシーソ動作ができるように支持部材７を介してエアシリンダ８のピストン８ａに取り付けている。
実施例では、エアシリンダ８を駆動するエア配管等の図示は省略している。 As shown in FIG. 2, the posture adjusting device 1 is configured so that the pusher 6 can freely move to the piston 8 a of the air cylinder 8 via the support member 7 so that the seesaw operation can be freely performed in the direction of arrow A shown in the drawing. It is attached.
In the embodiment, illustration of an air pipe or the like for driving the air cylinder 8 is omitted.

実施例に示している押動体６は、搬送される箔３の搬送面と押動体６の押動面６ａとの摺動摩擦を低減するために、押動面６ａを箔３の搬送方向に対し円弧状に形成していて、また、場合によってはさらなる摺動摩擦低減のために、押動面６ａにフッ素樹脂を塗布したり、フッ素樹脂を塗布したシートを貼り付けることがある。   In the pusher 6 shown in the embodiment, in order to reduce the sliding friction between the transport surface of the foil 3 to be transported and the push surface 6a of the pusher 6, the pusher 6a is moved with respect to the transport direction of the foil 3. In some cases, a fluororesin may be applied to the push surface 6a or a sheet coated with a fluororesin may be attached to reduce the sliding friction.

また、実施例に示したエアシリンダ８は、熱転写加工機内に取り付けるためのベース部材９に、支持部材１０を介して取り付けている。   Further, the air cylinder 8 shown in the embodiment is attached to a base member 9 for attachment in the thermal transfer processing machine via a support member 10.

以下、上述のように構成した本発明に係る姿勢調整装置１の作用について説明する。   Hereinafter, the operation of the posture adjusting apparatus 1 according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

図３に示すように、被転写面５ａがテーパ状の被転写部材５１に熱転写加工を行う際に姿勢調整装置１を作動させ、この姿勢調整装置１が作動すると、同図３に示したように、供給したエア（図示は省略）によってエアシリンダ８のピストン８ａが図中に示す矢印Ｂの方向に伸出し、シーソ支持部材７を介してピストン８ａに取り付けた押動体６を搬送する箔３の方向に移動させる。   As shown in FIG. 3, the posture adjusting device 1 is operated when performing the thermal transfer processing on the member to be transferred 51 having a tapered transfer surface 5a, and when this posture adjusting device 1 is operated, as shown in FIG. Further, the supplied air (not shown) causes the piston 8a of the air cylinder 8 to extend in the direction of the arrow B shown in the figure, and the foil 3 that conveys the pusher 6 attached to the piston 8a via the seesaw support member 7. Move in the direction of.

この移動する押動体６は、箔３の転写柄が形成されている転写面３ａの背面に接触してこの背面を押して行き、この押しにより箔３の転写面３ａが幅方向の一端から被転写部材５１の被転写面５ａに接触して行くに連れて押動体６がシーソ支持部材７の支持部を中心に所定の方向に回転して行って、エアシリンダ８のピストン８ａの延出が停止される時には、箔３の転写面３ａが被転写部材５１におけるテーパ状の被転写面５ａとほぼ平行になる。   This moving pusher 6 comes into contact with the back surface of the transfer surface 3a on which the transfer pattern of the foil 3 is formed and pushes the back surface. By this pressing, the transfer surface 3a of the foil 3 is transferred from one end in the width direction. As the contact surface 5a of the member 51 comes in contact, the pusher 6 rotates in a predetermined direction around the support portion of the seesaw support member 7, and the extension of the piston 8a of the air cylinder 8 stops. When the transfer is performed, the transfer surface 3 a of the foil 3 is substantially parallel to the tapered transfer surface 5 a of the transferred member 51.

そして、テーパ状（正テーパ／逆テーパ）の被転写部材に熱転写加工を行っている時の姿勢調整装置１における押動体６の状態は、図４に示すように、先細に形成された正テーパの被転写面５ａを有する被転写部材５１に熱転写加工が行われている時には、押動体６は押動面６ａを下方に向けた傾斜状態になる。   As shown in FIG. 4, the state of the pusher 6 in the posture adjusting device 1 when the thermal transfer processing is performed on the tape-shaped (forward taper / reverse taper) transferred member is a tapered forward taper. When the transfer member 51 having the transfer surface 5a is being thermally transferred, the pusher 6 is inclined with the push surface 6a facing downward.

また、図５に示すように、先太に形成された逆テーパの被転写面５ａを有する被転写部材５２に熱転写加工が行われている時には、押動体６は、押動面６ａを上方に向けた傾斜状態になる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the transfer member 52 having a reverse taper transfer surface 5a formed with a thick tip is being subjected to thermal transfer processing, the pusher 6 has the push surface 6a upward. Inclined state toward.

そして、テーパ状（正テーパ／逆テーパ）の被転写部材に熱転写加工を行った後の箔３における転写跡は、図６中の各図に示すように、先細に形成された正テーパの被転写面５ａを有する被転写部材５１の場合は、図６（ａ）に示すように、転写跡１１は扇状になる。   Then, the transfer marks on the foil 3 after the thermal transfer processing is performed on the tape-shaped (forward taper / reverse taper) member to be transferred, as shown in each drawing in FIG. In the case of the transferred member 51 having the transfer surface 5a, the transfer mark 11 has a fan shape as shown in FIG.

また、先太に形成された逆テーパの被転写面５ａを有する被転写部材５２の場合は、図６（ｂ）に示すように、転写跡１１ａは、図６（ａ）に示した転写跡１１と反対方向に湾曲する扇状になる。   Further, in the case of the member to be transferred 52 having a reverse-tapered surface to be transferred 5a formed with a thick tip, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the transfer mark 11a is the transfer mark shown in FIG. 6 (a). 11 in a fan shape that curves in the opposite direction.

また、姿勢調整装置１を作動させないで行う熱転写加工の場合、すなわち被転写面５ａがテーパ状ではなく被転写面５ａが一定の太さで形成された円筒や円柱状の被転写部材５の場合（図１に示した被転写部材の場合）は、図６（ｃ）に示すように、転写跡１１ｂは矩形状になる。   Further, in the case of thermal transfer processing performed without operating the attitude adjusting device 1, that is, in the case of a transfer member 5 having a cylindrical or columnar shape in which the transfer surface 5a is not tapered and the transfer surface 5a is formed with a constant thickness. In the case of the member to be transferred shown in FIG. 1, the transfer mark 11b has a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 6C.

そして、姿勢調整装置１は図７中に示すように、押動体６を、シーソ支持部材７を介してエアシリンダ８のピストン８ａに取り付けたベース部材１２に、圧縮コイルばね１３からなるダンパ機構１４を介して取り付ける場合がある。   Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the posture adjusting device 1 includes a damper mechanism 14 including a compression coil spring 13 on a base member 12 that is attached to a piston 8 a of an air cylinder 8 via a seesaw support member 7. It may be attached via.

これにより、押動体６はベース部材１２とともに図中に示した矢印Ｃの方向に自由にシーソ動作ができ、かつダンパ機構１４によって図中に示した矢印Ｅの方向に弾発できる。   As a result, the pusher 6 can freely perform a seesaw operation in the direction of the arrow C shown in the drawing together with the base member 12, and can be repelled by the damper mechanism 14 in the direction of the arrow E shown in the drawing.

したがって、テーパ状の被転写部材に熱転写加工を行っている時、平面視における形状が楕円や角形のものに生じる恐れがある箔３の張りの変化による搬送面に生じるうねり等の振動をダンパ機構１４が吸収し、箔３の搬送を安定させる。   Therefore, when the thermal transfer processing is performed on the tapered member to be transferred, the damper mechanism is adapted to oscillate vibrations such as swells generated on the conveying surface due to a change in the tension of the foil 3 that may occur when the shape in plan view is elliptical or rectangular. 14 absorbs and stabilizes the conveyance of the foil 3.

また、同図７中に示すように、押動体６を取り付けたエアシリンダ８の支持部材１０を、エア駆動できる進退装置１５に取り付ける場合がある。
実施例では、進退装置１５を駆動するエア配管等の図示は省略している。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the support member 10 of the air cylinder 8 to which the pusher 6 is attached may be attached to an advance / retreat apparatus 15 that can be driven by air.
In the embodiment, illustration of an air pipe for driving the advance / retreat apparatus 15 is omitted.

これにより、押動体６は進退装置１５によって図中に示した矢印Ｄの方向に進退移動できる。   As a result, the pusher 6 can move forward and backward in the direction of the arrow D shown in the figure by the advance / retreat apparatus 15.

したがって、テーパ角度が大なる被転写部材に熱転写加工を行っている時、押動体６の押動面６ａ上を通過する箔３の一側への偏りに合わせて進退装置１５が押動体６を取り付けたエアシリンダ８の支持部材１０を箔３が偏る方向に移動して押動面６ａの位置を補正し、箔３の一側への偏りによって生じる恐れがある熱転写部での箔３の皺を緩和させる。   Therefore, when performing a thermal transfer process on a member to be transferred having a large taper angle, the advancing / retracting device 15 moves the pusher 6 in accordance with the bias toward the one side of the foil 3 passing over the push face 6a of the pusher 6. The supporting member 10 of the attached air cylinder 8 is moved in the direction in which the foil 3 is biased to correct the position of the pushing surface 6a, and the foil 3 in the thermal transfer portion that may be caused by the bias to one side of the foil 3 To ease.

また、押動体６を、搬送している箔３の幅方向に進退装置１５によって進退移動できるように構成することにより、押動体が進退移動しないものよりも３度ほど被転写面のテーパ角度（垂直方向に対する傾き角度）が大なる６度程度の被転写部材まで対応できる。   Further, by configuring the pusher 6 so that it can be moved back and forth by the advance / retreat device 15 in the width direction of the foil 3 being conveyed, the taper angle of the surface to be transferred (about 3 degrees than the pusher does not move back and forth). It is possible to cope with a member to be transferred having a large inclination angle with respect to the vertical direction of about 6 degrees.

そして、姿勢調整装置１は図８に示すように、押動体６１の押動面を例えばローラ等の回転体で構成して回転押動面６ｂとし、回転押動面６ｂが図中に示した矢印Ｆの方向に自由回転できるようにする場合がある。   Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the posture adjusting device 1 is configured such that the pushing surface of the pushing body 61 is constituted by a rotating body such as a roller to form a rotating pushing surface 6b, and the rotating pushing surface 6b is shown in the figure. In some cases, it can be freely rotated in the direction of arrow F.

これにより、搬送される箔３の搬送面と押動体６１の回転押動面６ｂとの摺動摩擦をゼロに等しいレベルまで低減できて、箔３の搬送を安定させる。   Thereby, the sliding friction between the transport surface of the foil 3 to be transported and the rotary push surface 6b of the pusher 61 can be reduced to a level equal to zero, and the transport of the foil 3 is stabilized.

そして、前述した図１に示した熱転写加工機に備えるガイド部材４を、図９に一例を示した搬送ガイド装置１６に置き換える場合もある。   In some cases, the above-described guide member 4 provided in the thermal transfer processing machine shown in FIG. 1 is replaced with the conveyance guide device 16 shown in FIG. 9 as an example.

搬送ガイド装置１６は、搬送する箔３を掛け回してセットするガイドローラ１７、１８、１９を軸支するベース部材２０を、図中に示した矢印Ｇの方向に進退移動できる進退装置２１に取り付けている。
実施例では、進退装置２１を駆動するエア配管等の図示は省略している。 The conveyance guide device 16 is provided with a base member 20 that pivotally supports guide rollers 17, 18, and 19 that are wound around the foil 3 to be conveyed and attached to an advance / retreat device 21 that can move forward and backward in the direction of arrow G shown in the drawing. ing.
In the embodiment, illustration of an air pipe for driving the advance / retreat apparatus 21 is omitted.

また、ガイドローラ１８は両端部にフランジ１８ａを設け、フランジ１８ａ間のガイドローラ１８の軸方向の長さは、箔３の幅方向の長さと等しく、あるいは、少し大になる長さにしている。   The guide roller 18 is provided with flanges 18a at both ends, and the axial length of the guide roller 18 between the flanges 18a is equal to or slightly larger than the width of the foil 3 in the width direction. .

したがって、搬送する箔３をガイドローラ１７、ガイドローラ１８のフランジ１８ａ間、ガイドローラ１９に順に掛け回してセットすることにより、搬送ガイド装置１６は、前述したように、テーパ角度が大なる被転写部材に熱転写加工を行っている時に生じる箔３の一側への偏りを姿勢調整装置１に設けた進退装置１５による押動体６の移動によって補正する際、前記箔３の一側への偏りに合わせて搬送ガイド装置１６の進退装置２１が、ガイドローラ１７、１８、１９を軸支するベース部材２０を、箔３が偏る方向に移動してガイドローラ１７、１８、１９の位置を補正し、箔３の搬送をスムースにさせる。   Therefore, by setting the foil 3 to be conveyed by setting it around the guide roller 17, the flange 18 a of the guide roller 18, and the guide roller 19 in this order, the conveyance guide device 16 has the taper angle increased as described above. When the bias toward the one side of the foil 3 that occurs when the member is subjected to the thermal transfer process is corrected by the movement of the pusher 6 by the advance / retreat device 15 provided in the posture adjusting device 1, the bias toward the one side of the foil 3 is corrected. At the same time, the advance / retreat device 21 of the transport guide device 16 moves the base member 20 that pivotally supports the guide rollers 17, 18, 19 in the direction in which the foil 3 is biased to correct the positions of the guide rollers 17, 18, 19, The conveyance of the foil 3 is made smooth.

また、搬送ガイド装置１６と姿勢調整装置１と組み合わせて、互いが同期をとって動作できるように構成する場合がある。   In some cases, the conveyance guide device 16 and the posture adjustment device 1 are combined so that they can operate in synchronization with each other.

また、ガイドローラ１８は、搬送ガイド装置１６を装着する熱転写加工機における搬送路の形態によってフランジ１８ａを設けないで、平坦なローラ面で形成する場合がある。   Further, the guide roller 18 may be formed with a flat roller surface without providing the flange 18a depending on the form of the conveyance path in the thermal transfer processing machine to which the conveyance guide device 16 is mounted.

また、実施例中には図示していないが、押動体の押動面（回転押動面も含む）の位置を箔３の幅方向に微調整できるようにする場合がある。   Although not shown in the examples, the position of the pushing surface (including the rotating pushing surface) of the pushing body may be finely adjusted in the width direction of the foil 3 in some cases.

実施例における図中の符号４ａは、熱転写を終了して搬送される箔３のガイド部材、符号１５ａは、進退装置１５に備える進退アーム、符号２１ａは、進退装置２１に備える進退アームである。   In the embodiment, reference numeral 4a in the figure denotes a guide member of the foil 3 that is transported after thermal transfer, reference numeral 15a denotes an advance / retreat arm provided in the advance / retreat apparatus 15, and reference numeral 21a denotes an advance / retreat arm provided in the advance / retreat apparatus 21.

なお、本稿でいう熱転写は、ホットスタンプを含むものである。   The thermal transfer referred to in this paper includes a hot stamp.

また、実施例では進退手段とするシリンダをエアシリンダで示したが、エアシリンダ以外の油圧シリンダ等のその他のシリンダを用いてもよく、あるいは電動モータ等その他のアクチュエータを利用する場合もある。   In the embodiment, the cylinder as the advancing / retreating unit is shown as an air cylinder. However, other cylinders such as a hydraulic cylinder other than the air cylinder may be used, or other actuators such as an electric motor may be used.
