Abstract

The method of decorating by sublimation consists:   - in using, as support for sublimable ink, a material which is sufficiently extendible and air-permeable to be capable of adapting to the shape of the object to be decorated without the risk of damage to the decoration to be sublimated;   - in encasing the object in the ink support so that all its faces are covered over;   - and in placing the assembly in a machine under vacuum, known per se, which is itself introduced into a hot space in order to cause the transfer of the decoration onto all the faces of the object to be decorated.

Description

La présente invention a trait à un procédé de décoration par sublimation d'une encre sur toute la surface d'un objet, quelle que soit sa forme. Le demandeur est propriétaire d'une demande de brevet N° 90 04488 qui décrit un procédé pour le transfert par sublimation d'un dessin imprimé sur une feuille de papier et une machine pour sa mise en oeuvre. A la suite de différents essais, il a été remarqué que la décoration des objets de formes courbes, sphériques, ou ovoïdes entraînait certains inconvénients lors de la mise en place de la feuille papier. Ces inconvénients résident essentiellement dans le fait que la feuille papier ne supporte aucune déformation suivant ses axes principaux. Cette contrainte provoque des irrégularités dans le recouvrement de l'objet par la feuille papier.The present invention relates to a decoration process by sublimation of an ink over the entire surface of an object, whatever its shape. The applicant is the owner of a patent application No. 90 04488 which describes a process for the sublimation transfer of a design printed on a sheet of paper and a machine for its implementation. Following various tests, it has been observed that the decoration of objects of curved, spherical or ovoid shapes entails certain drawbacks when the paper sheet is placed. These drawbacks essentially lie in the fact that the paper sheet does not support any deformation along its main axes. This constraint causes irregularities in the covering of the object by the paper sheet.

Ces irrégularités sont dues au fait que la feuille papier se plisse ou se froisse lors de sa mise en place par le vide autour de l'objet à décorer. Au moment de la sublimation, ces plis se transfèrent sur la surface de l'objet, provoquant une détérioration de la qualité du dessin reproduit.These irregularities are due to the fact that the paper sheet wrinkles or creases when it is placed by the vacuum around the object to be decorated. At the time of sublimation, these folds transfer to the surface of the object, causing a deterioration in the quality of the reproduced drawing.

Cette détérioration se traduit soit par une discontinuité du décor, soit par des portions de dessin décalées les unes par rapport aux autres, affectant la qualité du décor reproduit.This deterioration is reflected either by a discontinuity of the decor, or by portions of the design offset from each other, affecting the quality of the reproduced decor.

En conclusion, la feuille de papier à sublimer couramment utilisé dans ce procédé de décoration empêche donc de réaliser par traitement les objets de formes sphériques, courbes ou ovoïdes.In conclusion, the sheet of paper to be sublimated commonly used in this decoration process therefore prevents the realization by treatment of objects of spherical, curved or ovoid shapes.

C'est à cet inconvénient qu'entend plus spécialement remédier la présente invention.It is to this drawback that the present invention more specifically intends to remedy.

Le procédé suivant l'invention se caractérise en ce qu'il consiste :

  • à utiliser comme support d'encre un matériau suffisamment extensible pour pouvoir s'adapter à la forme de l'objet à décorer sans risque de détérioration du décor à sublimer ;
  • à envelopper l'objet dans le support d'encre sublimable afin que toutes ses faces soient recouvertes ;
  • à placer l'ensemble dans une machine sous vide connue en soi qui est elle-même introduite dans un espace chaud pour provoquer le transfert du décor sur toute la surface de l'objet à décorer.
The process according to the invention is characterized in that it consists:
  • to use as an ink support a sufficiently extensible material to be able to adapt to the shape of the object to be decorated without risk of deterioration of the decoration to be sublimated;
  • wrapping the object in the sublimable ink support so that all of its faces are covered;
  • placing the assembly in a vacuum machine known per se which is itself introduced into a hot space to cause the transfer of the decoration over the entire surface of the object to be decorated.

Le procédé de décoration suivant l'invention est mis en oeuvre grâce à un support d'encre réalisé en un matériau extensible comme par exemple un tissu, un tricot, ou une feuille de matière non tissée.The decoration method according to the invention is implemented by means of an ink support made of an extensible material such as for example a fabric, a knitted fabric, or a sheet of nonwoven material.

Ce matériau extensible est recouvert sur l'une de ses faces d'une encre sublimable représentant le décor à transférer. L'objet de forme quelconque est enveloppé dans le matériau extensible de manière que la face recouverte d'encre soit directement en contact avec les faces à décorer dudit objet. Ainsi, lorsque l'objet comporte des formes courbes ou sphériques, le matériau extensible s'allonge suivant ses axes géométriques de manière à envelopper parfaitement la surface de l'objet. Le matériau extensible est plaqué sans pli et sans froissement sur l'objet lors de la mise sous vide de la machine à sublimer décrite dans le brevet 90 04488 du demandeur.This extensible material is covered on one of its faces with a sublimable ink representing the decor to be transferred. The object of any shape is wrapped in the extensible material so that the face covered with ink is directly in contact with the faces to be decorated of said object. Thus, when the object has curved or spherical shapes, the extensible material elongates along its geometric axes so as to perfectly envelop the surface of the object. The extensible material is flattened without wrinkling and without wrinkling on the object during the evacuation of the sublimating machine described in patent 90 04488 of the applicant.

Après sublimation, on remarque que le transfert du décor sur les surfaces courbes, sphériques ou ovoïdes de l'objet est d'une régularité et d'une constance remarquable.After sublimation, we notice that the transfer of the decoration on the curved, spherical or ovoid surfaces of the object is of remarkable regularity and consistency.
