DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A liquid pressure transfer method for transferring a print pattern on a transfer film floating along a surface of a liquid within a transfer bath onto a three dimensional transfer face of a transfer objective body comprising the steps of determining a two dimensional imaginary development face corresponding with said three dimensional transfer face wherein local linear transverse dimensions of the two dimensional imaginary face approximate surface lengths of the three dimensional transfer face at corresponding locations, immersing said transfer objective body into said liquid to follow said film so as to contact said print pattern with said three dimensional transfer face, controlling the posture of said body as it is immersed in said liquid to cause said three dimensional transfer face to contact an area of said print pattern on said film corresponding with said two dimensional imaginary development face and transferring said area of said print pattern under liquid pressure to said three dimensional transfer face.
2.
A liquid pressure transfer method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the step of controlling the posture of said body includes rolling said three-dimensional transfer face on said print pattern to contact said two-dimensional imaginary face.
3.
A liquid pressure transfer method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the step of controlling the posture of said body includes moving said three-dimensional transfer face obliquely downward into said liquid to contact said print pattern along said two-dimensional imaginary face.
4.
A liquid pressure transfer method as set forth in claim 1, 2, or 3, wherein said transfer objective body enters said liquid at an angle of from about 10.
degree.
to about 170.
degree.
.
5.
A liquid pressure transfer method as set forth in claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said transfer film is supplied by being fed at a predetermined velocity within said transfer bath and said transfer objective body enters said liquid at a velocity corresponding to said feeding velocity of said transfer film
