Abstract

A method for affixing a decorative object on an object that is to be decorated includes a process for causing the force holding the decorative object on an affixing film to differ locally; a process for attaching the decorative object on the surface of the affixing film on the side facing the object that is to be decorated; a process for disposing the affixing film to face the object that is to be decorated; and a process for, after air inside a cover and a vessel has been evacuated, introducing a fluid into the space between the affixing film and the cover, and applying pressure to affix the decorative object on the object that is to be decorated.

Claims (24)

1. A method of affixing a decorative object in which the decorative object is configured to be affixed to an object to be decorated, comprising the steps of:

a holding force adjusting step of causing a holding force of the decorative object with respect to an affixing film to differ locally depending on a curvature of the object to be decorated, to which the decorative object is to be affixed;

a step of attaching the decorative object to a surface on a side of the affixing film that faces toward the object to be decorated;

a step of placing the affixing film in facing relation to the object to be decorated; and

a step of, after air inside a cover member and a vessel has been reduced in pressure, introducing a fluid into a space between the affixing film and the cover member, to thereby pressure bond and affix the decorative object on the object to be decorated,

wherein, in the holding force adjusting step, the holding force of the decorative object with respect to the affixing film is made to differ locally, by locally changing a charge amount between the affixing film and the decorative object.

2. A method of affixing a decorative object in which the decorative object is configured to be affixed to an object to be decorated, comprising the steps of:

a holding force adjusting step of causing a holding force of the decorative object with respect to an affixing film to differ locally depending on a curvature of the object to be decorated, to which the decorative object is to be affixed;

a step of attaching the decorative object to a surface on a side of the affixing film that faces toward the object to be decorated;

a step of placing the affixing film in covering relation to the object to be decorated; and

a step of reducing pressure of a space between the affixing film and the object to be decorated, to thereby pressure bond and affix the decorative object on the object to be decorated,

wherein, in the holding force adjusting step, the holding force of the decorative object with respect to the affixing film is made to differ locally, by locally changing a charge amount between the affixing film and the decorative object.

3. A method of affixing a decorative object in which the decorative object is configured to be affixed to an object to be decorated, comprising the steps of:

a holding force adjusting step of causing a holding force of the decorative object with respect to an affixing film to differ locally depending on a curvature of the object to be decorated, to which the decorative object is to be affixed;

a step of attaching the decorative object to a surface on a side of the affixing film that faces toward the object to be decorated;

a step of placing the affixing film in facing relation to the object to be decorated; and

a step of, after air inside a cover member and a vessel has been reduced in pressure, introducing a fluid into a space between the affixing film and the cover member, to thereby pressure bond and affix the decorative object on the object to be decorated,

wherein, in the holding force adjusting step, the holding force of the decorative object with respect to the affixing film is made to differ locally, by locally changing a magnetic force between the affixing film and the decorative object.

4. A method of affixing a decorative object in which the decorative object is configured to be affixed to an object to be decorated, comprising the steps of:

a holding force adjusting step of causing a holding force of the decorative object with respect to an affixing film to differ locally depending on a curvature of the object to be decorated, to which the decorative object is to be affixed;

a step of attaching the decorative object to a surface on a side of the affixing film that faces toward the object to be decorated;

a step of placing the affixing film in covering relation to the object to be decorated; and

a step of reducing pressure of a space between the affixing film and the object to be decorated, to thereby pressure bond and affix the decorative object on the object to be decorated,

wherein, in the holding force adjusting step, the holding force of the decorative object with respect to the affixing film is made to differ locally, by locally changing a magnetic force between the affixing film and the decorative object.
