    (54) Layered structure for the transfer of a patterned layer of fibres by the application of pressure


    (57) A pressure-sensitive transferable flocked-fibers patch comprises a support sheet (1) formed with an adhesive layer (2) thereon, a flocked fiber layer (4) having short fibers flocked at the lower ends in the adhesive layer. A patterning layer (5) extends in a desired pattern over the flocked fiber layer to have the upper ends of the fibers anchored in the patterning layer. Superimposed on the patterning layer is a transfer layer (6) which comprises a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a higher adhesive strength than the adhesive layer. The transfer layer is in use adapted to be adhered on an object article surface (8) together with the patterning layer such that when the support layer (1) is peeled off relative to the patterning layer the fibers anchored in the patterning layer are kept held to the object surface while being detached from the adhesive layer. The remaining fibers are removed together with the adhesive layer on the support sheet.
