DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention generally relates to a seal making device and more particularly to a seal making device, by which a person other than an expert and a professional can make a desired seal easily. In the instant specification, the term "seal making device" should be construed as including a relief or intaglio figure plate making device for making a plate, one or both of the front and back sides of which are engraved with relief or intaglio figures or patterns.
Seals in a broad sense, which include a seal engraved with a person's surname or full name, a larger stamp engraved with a mark indicating an office to which individuals belong and a signet, are usually made by experts or professionals. Further, no matter whether such seals are hand-made or machine-made, each of them is usually made by selectively incising a part of the surface of one end of a cylindrical or plate-like body.
Incidentally, a seal is sometimes made by forming, for example, a mold of a resin, on a surface of which is engraved with a relief or intaglio figure projecting or hollowing in inverse relation to the unevenness of the intaglio or relief figure engraved on a surface of the seal, and thereafter injecting a fluid material such as rubber into the mold and then solidifying the fluid material to form an engraved member having substantially the same unevenness as such an intaglio figure.
However, there are many kinds of seals which corporations and individuals wish to have. For instance, a seal indicating an addressee to which letters are frequently mailed, a stamp indicating a title of account, and a seal which is given to a new employee, are often required by them. In case of requesting an expert or a professional to make such a seal, stamp or badge, money matters and the term of making a seal or the like sometimes come into problem.
Further, recently, relief or intaglio figures are sometimes formed on the surfaces of, for example, a doorplate mounted on a door of a person's private room, a plate put up at an entrance of a building and a decoration worn on a person's chest, similarly as in the aforesaid cases of the seals or the like. In such cases, similar matters and problems often occur.
Therefore, there is a demand for a person other than an expert and a professional to make a desired seal or the like easily. Previously, a seal making device (strictly speaking, a seal making kit), by which a person other than an expert and a professional can make a seal, has been on the market.
This conventional seal making device (not shown) employs a film of the ultraviolet sensitive type, an ultraviolet irradiating unit, a planar ultraviolet setting resin member and a stock. Further, a seal is made by using this conventional seal making device as will be described later. Incidentally, the ultraviolet irradiating unit comprises a casing in which an ultraviolet fluorescent lamp is provided, a timer by which a user sets a time to light the ultraviolet lamp, a transparent plate mounted on the top surface of the casing and transmitting ultraviolet light, and an openable lid for preventing the transmitted ultraviolet light from coming out of the transparent plate. Furthermore, the ultraviolet setting resin member comprises a base layer, which is not sensitive to ultraviolet light, and an ultraviolet setting resin layer. Incidentally, the base layer is thinner than the ultraviolet setting resin layer.
In the case of making a seal by using this conventional seal making device, first, characters or patterns (hereunder referred to as an imprint figure), which should be transferred onto paper if the seal is completed and the completed seal is impressed thereon, are drafted on ultraviolet transmittable paper such as tracing paper and thus an original picture of the imprint figure is drawn up.
Thereafter, the original picture and the film of the ultraviolet sensitive type are piled up on the transparent plate of the ultraviolet irradiating unit. Then, the lid is closed. Further, a time for irradiating ultraviolet light is set acco
