Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a decorative product having the three-dimensional feeling of an object and high decorative properties by cutting the photograph bonded to a plate material being a support along the desired outer shape of the object thereof along with the plate material. CONSTITUTION:A photograph 31 subjected to laminate processing is projected on the screen of an operator 61 through a camera 41 and the desired outer shape of the projected object is traced to store cutting data in the operator 61 and, after the camera 41 is moved, laser beam is emitted from a laser cutter 51 while the laser cutter 51 is moved by the command issued from the operator 61 on the basis of the cutting data to cut the photograph along the traced outer shape along with an acrylic resin plate 21.

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing decorative articles, and more particularly, to a decorative article, such as an acrylic plate, in which a photograph is attached to a plate as a supporting material and cut along with the plate along the desired outline of the subject. The present invention relates to a method for producing an ornament by cutting a pasted wedding photograph together with the acrylic plate along the contours of the bride and groom.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, photographs placed in photo frames, frames, etc. have been used as ornaments, wall hangings, and other decorative items. Some of these decorative items also serve as signboards with photographs pasted on boards.

However, when a photograph is simply placed in a photo frame or frame, or when the photograph is simply pasted on a board, there is a drawback that the object does not have a three-dimensional effect and is inferior in decorativeness.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention The problem to be solved by the present invention is that conventional decorative items lack a three-dimensional effect of the subject in the photograph and are inferior in decorativeness.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a decorative article characterized by comprising the following first to fourth steps. 1st step: A step of attaching a photograph to a board material and laminating the surface of the photograph. Second step: A step in which the laminated material is mounted on the base of a cutting device, and the photo is projected onto the screen of a computing device via a camera. Third step:
The step of tracing the desired outline of the object in the photograph displayed on the screen and storing the cutting information in the arithmetic device. Fourth step: A step of activating the cutting device in response to a command sent from the arithmetic unit based on the stored cutting information to cut the laminated material.

[0006] In the present invention, the first step is to adhere a photograph of a desired size to a plate material and laminate the surface of the photograph. Although a resin plate, a metal plate, a wooden plate, etc. can be used as the plate material, it is preferable to use an acrylic plate from the viewpoints of lightness, workability, decorativeness, etc. Lamination is carried out by attaching a transparent film to the surface of the photograph, or by applying a transparent resin liquid, such as an acrylic resin liquid. Such lamination can protect the photograph and give it gloss.

[0007] In the second step of the present invention, the laminated product is mounted on the base of a cutting device, and the photograph is displayed on the screen of a computing device via a camera, either as it is or after being scaled down and enlarged as appropriate. There are no particular restrictions on the placement of the camera as long as it faces the photo from the front, but due to the configuration of the device,
Also, for convenience of operation, it is preferable to attach the laminated product to the base of the cutting device with the photo facing downward, and to movably place the camera facing the front of the photo below the base. .

In the present invention, the third step is to trace the desired outline of the object in the photograph displayed on the screen and store cutting information in the arithmetic unit. For example, the user uses a mouse to trace the outline of a subject to be cut in a photograph displayed on a screen, and stores the traced cutting information in a computing device.

[0009] In the present invention, the fourth step is a step in which the cutting device is operated in response to a command sent from the arithmetic unit based on the stored cutting information to cut the laminated material. Even if the base of the cutting device is activated by command,
Alternatively, the cutting machine of the cutting device may be operated, or both the base and the cutting machine may be operated. Although there are no particular limitations on the cutting machine itself, it is preferable to use a laser cutting machine because it has an extremely narrow cutting width and can cut with high precision without adversely affecting the photograph. If the camera is placed below the base as described above, it is preferable for the same reason that the laser cutter is placed above the base.

According to the present invention, which consists of the first to fourth steps,
It is possible to manufacture an ornament with excellent decorativeness that gives a three-dimensional effect to a subject in a photograph. The present invention is suitable for turning a wide variety of photographs into decorative items such as ornaments and wall hangings that meet the needs of each individual.The decorative items can be used as they are, or can be used in combination with a mounting stand, etc. You can also.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a side view (partially in longitudinal section) schematically showing one embodiment of the present invention. An opening 12 is formed in the center of the base 11 of the cutting device. An acrylic plate 21 is attached to the opening 12, a photograph 31 is pasted to the bottom surface of the acrylic plate 21, and the surface of the photograph 31 (
The bottom surface is laminated by applying acrylic resin. A camera 41 is installed below the base 11 at a position facing the front (bottom) of the photo 31, and a laser cutting machine 51 is installed above the base 11 at a position facing the back (top) of the photo 31. Equipped. The camera 41 is connected to the computing device 61, and the camera 41 is connected to the computing device 61.
1 is connected to a laser cutting machine 51.

In one embodiment of FIG. 1, a laminated photograph 31 is projected onto the screen of the computing device 61 via the camera 41, a desired outline of the projected object is traced, and cutting information is stored in the computing device 61. After moving the camera 41, the laser cutting machine 51 is moved and a laser beam is emitted from the laser cutting machine 51 according to a command sent from the computing device 61 based on the cutting information, so that the photograph 31 is shaped into the outline traced above. It is cut together with the acrylic board 21.
