Provided is a can with a shoulder portion decorated in a novel way. A can includes: a trunk portion; a mouth portion smaller in diameter than the trunk portion; and a shoulder portion provided between the trunk portion and the mouth portion, gradually decreasing in diameter from the side of the trunk portion toward the side of the mouth portion, and having a printed layer and a coating film respectively formed by printing and coating. The shoulder portion includes: a straight portion having an inclined cross-sectional shape along a can axis C; a lower curved portion that is a curved portion connecting the straight portion and the trunk portion; an upper curved portion that is a curved portion connecting the straight portion and the mouth portion; and an embossed portion provided only in the straight portion among the straight portion, the lower curved portion, and the upper curved portion.

A device and a method for manufacturing an emblem of thermoplastic synthetic resin with an incorporated IC chip by high frequency induction heating without damaging the IC chip, the device including: an upper metal mold having with a fusion cutting blade; a support frame along the perimeter and upper surface of the table; a slide board on top of the table that is slidable in axial directions relative to the table; a metal plate on the upper surface of the slide board; wherein pressing the upper layer material with the mold from above and subjecting the material to high frequency induction heating, the IC chip is placed in an upper position of the recessed section, then the slide board is driven to slide below the mold and subsequently the heating operation is executed without any risk of applying pressure onto the IC chip.

A method wherein a bulky three-dimensional emblem can be made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin containing a vapor-deposited-metal laminated film. An apparatus for producing a three-dimensional emblem made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin includes a slide jig in which an electrode flat plate die and an electrode projecting die are slidable in a horizontal plane, an electrode recessed die capable of approaching and separating from the slide jig in a vertical direction and at a position where it can oppose the electrode flat plate die and the electrode projecting die, and a high-frequency oscillator that performs high-frequency dielectric heating by continuously generating a high-frequency voltage across the opposing dies, wherein recesses form in a surface of the electrode flat plate die opposing the electrode recessed die, and during high-frequency dielectric heating, a portion of the lower layer material enters the recess and is held on the electrode flat plate die.

A method of generating an enhanced visual three-dimensional visual effect to wood sculptures. The includes boiling laminated wood formed into a shape until the plurality of lamination layers physically separate so that the separate lamination layers may be independently pressed. After the separate lamination layers are dried, they can be adhered to each other to reconstitute the formed shape thereby affording the enhanced visual three-dimensional visual effect.

The present invention relates to an ornamental laminate film made from at least an inside film and an outside film, provided with a letter and/or a pattern by printing and as a raised part protruding toward the outside film. At least apart of the letter and/or the pattern has a metallic luster and differs in at least one of hue, brightness, chroma and glossiness from a region other than the letter and/or the pattern, and the raised part is formed along at least a part of the letter and/or the pattern. As a result of that, an ornamental laminate film with excellent design is provided without impairing its function as a packaging material.

An apparatus for producing a three-dimensional emblem made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin includes a slide jig in which an electrode flat plate die and an electrode projecting die are slidable in a horizontal plane, an electrode recessed die capable of approaching and separating from the slide jig in a vertical direction and at a position where it can oppose the electrode flat plate die and the electrode projecting die, and a high-frequency oscillator that performs high-frequency dielectric heating by continuously generating a high-frequency voltage across the opposing dies, wherein recesses form in a surface of the electrode flat plate die opposing the electrode recessed die, and during high-frequency dielectric heating, a portion of the lower layer material enters the recess and is held on the electrode flat plate die.

A method for manufacturing a laminate panel, where in a first step a press element is manufactured showing a surface relief. In a second step by means of the press element a relief is formed in a surface of the laminate panel, where the surface relief of the press element is provided with protrusions, which during pressing form recesses in the surface of the laminate panel. The recesses imitate wood pores. When manufacturing the press element, at least a number of the protrusions is made elongate and as such are formed substantially or essentially by a machining treatment with rotating cutting tools.

Laminate panel, which consists at least of a substrate, a decor and a transparent synthetic material layer, wherein the synthetic material layer is provided with a relief with elongate recesses, wherein the recesses have a cross-section with inclined flank portions, the inclination of which is more than 60 and less than 90, and that the maximum depth over which said flank portions extend is larger than the maximum distance between the respective flank portions, measured in transverse direction and parallel to the plane of said panel.

The invention is a method and apparatus for hand-replicating original embossed metal artwork by transferring the three dimensional image of the original design onto one or more molds, including in the preferred embodiment, two moldsone having a positive image of the embossed design, and the other having a negative imagewherein they can be used sequentially, one after the other, to hand-craft and recreate the original design onto additional metal sheets and thus create multiple replicas of the original.

A method for applying an image to a floor mat or floor liner including applying a layer of ink to a first side of a clear applique; bonding, with a bonding agent, the first side of the clear applique to a surface of a substrate; and heating the applique and substrate to a first temperature such that the adhesive cures; heating the bonded substrate to a second temperature, such that the surface of the substrate becomes malleable; and forming a scene into the surface of the substrate.
