DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for sticking a multiplicity of ornamental pieces onto an elongate base sheet material to create a desired pattern or motif.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Embroidering machines have heretofore been known which cut ornamental pieces of desired dimensions and shapes from an ornamental tape and sew such ornamental pieces to a piece of cloth to create a desired motif or pattern.
With such known apparatus, it is necessary to provide a central hole in each ornamental piece for passage therethrough of a sewing needle. The necessity to form such a central hole imposes a limitation on the shape of ornamental pieces for example the known apparatus cannot be used on such ornamental pieces which are rectangular in shape and quite narrow. Furthermore, use of an embroidering machine results in only a limited rate of production
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, there is provided a method of decorating a web of material with a plurality of discrete articles using a coating layer of heat activable adhesive which method, in one embodiment, comprises: on a line transverse to said first direction, each article being applied with said adhesive coating between said web and said article; the web and the articles to be applied on said transverse line is complete, said web, the series is repeated to form a predetermined motif on said web.
The method of the invention is particularly useful for forming an ornamental pattern or motif from an ornamental foil or sheet having a coating of hot melt as a heat activable adhesive.
The base material employed in the method of the present invention may be an elongate flat material such for example as a piece of fibrous cloth, a sheet of paper or resin on which a decorative motif is to be formed by arranging ornamental pieces. The ornamental pieces, having hot-melt layers, may be stuck directly to the base sheet material with the application of heat. According to the method of the present invention, it is also possible to place ornamental pieces having hot-melt layers on the elongate base sheet material which has an adhesive layer on its surface in accordance with a desired decorative pattern, and to press the ornamental pieces against the base sheet material, thus forming a thermally transferrable print sheet. In use, the surface of such a thermally transferrable print sheet in which the pattern of ornamental pieces is carried is held against a surface of an object such as garment cloth, and the hot-melt layers in the ornamental pieces which are in contact with the cloth are fused into the cloth under heat applied by a heating roller. After the pattern of ornamental pieces has been transferred to the object material, the sticky base sheet is peeled off. Thus, the desired transferred motif is formed on the cloth. Instead of using the heating roller, the user may heat the ornamental pieces by ironing.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for applying a desired motif pattern on a base material with sticking means, the base material being selected from two kinds of material is to serve the purpose for which the sheet carrying ornamental pieces is fabricated. According to the method of the invention, a base sheet material having an area kept horizontally taut by rollers or other guide members on a stationary frame is controllably fed for longitudinal positioning, and at the same time heads for sticking ornamental pieces are controllably positioned widthwise of the base sheet material so that the base sheet material and the sticking heads are controllably moved for relative biaxial positioning to determine a position in which ornamental pieces are to be applied to the base sheet material in a desired pattern. Then, ornamental tapes having hot-melt layers are drawn to a desired length below the sticking heads, and press heads having cutting edges are lowered to cut off ornamental pieces from the tapes, while at the sa
