Abstract (en)

A film transfer roller (10) includes a roller unit (3) rotatable while pressing one side of a flexible base material (1) to transfer a transfer film (2) on the other side of the base material (1) on to a target surface (A). A projection (5) is provided adjacent at least one of opposed axial ends of the roller unit (3) in a direction of rotational axis (P) of the roller unit (3). The projection (5) projects radially outward from a pressing peripheral surface (3A) of the roller unit (3) by a projecting amount (T;T1) greater than a thickness (t1) of the base material. When the projection (5) comes into contact with the target surface (A), the projection (5) provides torque to the roller unit (3) so as to allow the transfer film (2) to be transferred on to the target surface (A). The projection (5) is provided continuously or intermittently along a peripheral direction of the pressing peripheral surface (3A) of the roller unit (3). A film transfer apparatus using the above film transfer roller (10) is also disclosed. <IMAGE>
