Abstract
Abstract A predetermined pattern is printed on a surface of a material on which a flock pattern is desired, using crosslinking type synthetic resin as the printing ink and utilizing the printing method such as the screen printing process. A solidly flocked paper is then applied on the pattern formed of the ink, and is heated and pressed together, so that the crosslinking reaction takes place in the synthetic resin. Thus, when the flocked paper is peeled off from the surface of the material, a flock pattern of the predetermined shape is formed thereon.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A flock pattern forming method comprising the steps of: (a) printing a solution of a synthetic resin capable of being cross-linked on a surface of a material using a screen printing process, on which a predetermined pattern is to be formed thereby forming a flock transplanting adhesive layer having the form of said predetermined pattern on said surface; (b) superposing flock solidly planted on a mount on said adhesive layer before said adhesive layer is dried; (c) drying said adhesive layer by heating under a predetermined pressure thereby cross-linking the synthetic resin and attaching the tips of said flock on said mount to said surface of the material; and (d) peeling said mount thereby transplanting a portion of said flock to said surface of said material to form a flock pattern in said predetermined pattern.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A flock pattern forming method comprising the steps of: (a) printing a solution of a synthetic resin capable of being cross-linked on a surface of a material using a screen printing process, on which a predetermined pattern is to be formed thereby forming a flock transplanting adhesive layer having the form of said predetermined pattern on said surface; (b) superposing flock solidly planted on a mount on said adhesive layer before said adhesive layer is dried; (c) drying said adhesive layer by heating under a predetermined pressure thereby cross-linking the synthetic resin and attaching the tips of said flock on said mount to said surface of the material; and (d) peeling said mount thereby transplanting a portion of said flock to said surface of said material to form a flock pattern in said predetermined pattern.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
A flock pattern forming method as claimed in claim 1 wherein before said solution is printed on said surface of the material, a pigment is printed on said surface and air-dried or forcibly dried to form a planar design pattern on said surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A flock pattern forming method as claimed in claim 2 wherein said solution is printed on said surface in at least partially overlapping relation to said planar design pattern.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A flock pattern forming method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said synthetic resin is selected from the group of water soluble, water dispersible, and organic solvent soluble types.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
A flock pattern forming method as claimed in claim 2 wherein said pigment is printed by the screen printing process.
