Abstract
Abstract A picture of a person is photographed by an electronic camera such as TV camera, and output image data signal thereof is differential-operated, so that a line pattern picture signal is produced; then by making a light image of the line pattern picture on a TV set, a photosensitive resin layer is exposed, and by developing it a stamp of the line pattern picture is produced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
Method for making a stamp comprising: step of producing image data signal from an object, step of processing said image data signal to produce a signal of line pattern of edges of said object, step of producing an optical image of photoactive rays from said signal of line pattern, step of irradiating a photosensitive resin layer formed on a substrate with said photoactive rays of said optical image, and step of developing a latent image made by said irradiation on said photosensitive resin layer to produce a stamp of said line pattern.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
Method for making a stamp comprising: step of producing image data signal from an object, step of processing said image data signal to produce a signal of line pattern of edges of said object, step of producing an optical image of photoactive rays from said signal of line pattern, step of irradiating a photosensitive resin layer formed on a substrate with said photoactive rays of said optical image, and step of developing a latent image made by said irradiation on said photosensitive resin layer to produce a stamp of said line pattern.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
125 words
Method for making a stamp comprising: step of producing image data signal from an object, step of processing said image data signal to produce a signal of line pattern of edges of said object, step of producing an optical image of photoactive rays from said signal of line pattern, step of irradiating a photosensitive film with said photoactive rays of said optical image, step of developing a latent image made by said irradiation on said photosensitive film to produce a mask pattern, step of irradiating a photosensitive resin layer formed on a substrate with a photoactive light through said mask pattern, and step of developing a latent image made by said irradiation on said photosensitive resin layer, to produce a stamp of said line pattern.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
125 words
Method for making a stamp comprising: step of producing image data signal from an object, step of processing said image data signal to produce a signal of line pattern of edges of said object, step of producing an optical image of photoactive rays from said signal of line pattern, step of irradiating a photosensitive film with said photoactive rays of said optical image, step of developing a latent image made by said irradiation on said photosensitive film to produce a mask pattern, step of irradiating a photosensitive resin layer formed on a substrate with a photoactive light through said mask pattern, and step of developing a latent image made by said irradiation on said photosensitive resin layer, to produce a stamp of said line pattern.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
77 words
An apparatus for making a stamp comprising: means for producing image data signal from an object, means for processing said image data signal to produce a signal of line pattern of edges of said object, means for producing an optical image of photoactive rays from said signal of line pattern to produce an image of line pattern, and means for irradiating a photosensitive resin layer formed on a substrate with said photoactive rays of said optical image.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
77 words
An apparatus for making a stamp comprising: means for producing image data signal from an object, means for processing said image data signal to produce a signal of line pattern of edges of said object, means for producing an optical image of photoactive rays from said signal of line pattern to produce an image of line pattern, and means for irradiating a photosensitive resin layer formed on a substrate with said photoactive rays of said optical image.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
An apparatus for making a stamp in accordance with claim 3, wherein said means for producing image data signal contains a character signal generating part, whereby data of character signal generated thereby is reproduced in combination with said optical image by said means for producing an optical image.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
112 words
An apparatus for making a stamp in accordance with claim 3, wherein said means for producing image data signal includes a television camera to produce said image data signal, said means for producing an optical image includes a television display apparatus which receives said image data signal and produces said optical image of line pattern, and said means for irradiating a photosensitive resin layer includes means for producing a mask film by irradiating photoactive rays of said optical image of line pattern on a photosensitive film and means to irradiate said photosensitive resin layer with photoactive rays of image of said line pattern, to produce a stamp of said line pattern thereon.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
99 words
An apparatus for making a stamp in accordance with claim 3, wherein said means for producing image data signal includes a television camera to produce said image data signal, said means for producing an optical image includes a television display apparatus which receives said image data signal and produces said optical image of line pattern on a liquid crystal display pannel, and said means for irradiating a photosensitive resin layer includes a light source for emitting photoactive rays to be irradiated through said liquid crystal display pannel on said photosensitive layer, to produce a stamp of said pattern thereon.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
69 words
An apparatus for making a stamp in accordance with claim 3, wherein said means for producing an optical image is a TV set which receives TV signal from said means for processing said image data signal and displays TV image on its phospher screen and said means for irradiating a photosensitive resin layer comprises means for holding said photosensitive resin layer on said phosphor screen of said TV set.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
59 words
An apparatus for making a stamp in accordance with claim 3, wherein said means for producing an optical image comprises a laser beam scanning device for scanning a laser beam as said photoactive rays in horizontal and vertical direction, and a laser beam modulation means for on-off controlling of said laser light beam responding to said image data signal.
