Abstract

The invention relates to the flock-covering of fragile supports requiring to be made resistant to wear and tear. The structure can be used particularly for seats, but also for mattresses, door panels, loudspeaker units, toys, sports equipment, lamps, tables, upholstery, carpets, etc., and is particularly intended for use on furniture or in cars. It comprises a support which in the present case is fragile, e.g. moulded or cut plastic foam padding [quilted upholstery] (1), a specific adhesive layer (2), and a flock which forms the outer surface (3). This method gives the fragile substrate to which the flock is to be applied a flexible and resilient shell to which the flock will normally be affixed, thus making the structure resistant to wear and tear.

Description

I- DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTION :
10) Domaine de l'invention
La présente invention concerne le flocage des supports fragiles pour lesquels une tenue à l'abrasion et à la déchirure est exigée.
I1 stagit d'une structure pouvant servir notamment aux sièges, mais aussi aux matelas, panneaux de portes, enceintes acoustiques, jouets, articles de sport, lampes, tables garnitures, moquettes, etc ... , et destinée notamment à l'ameublement ou à l'automobile.I- DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
10) Field of the invention
The present invention relates to the flocking of fragile supports for which abrasion and tear resistance is required.
I1 trait of a structure which can be used in particular for seats, but also for mattresses, door panels, loudspeakers, toys, sporting goods, lamps, tables trimmings, carpets, etc ..., and intended in particular for furnishing or to the automobile.

20) Description, de l'état de la technique antérieure
Traditionnellement, la technique du flocage utilise un adhésif dont le rôle essentiel consiste à faire tenir le floc sur le support à floquer.20) Description of the state of the art
Traditionally, the flocking technique uses an adhesive whose essential role is to hold the flock on the support to be flocked.

Mais, si le support recueillant le floc statère fragile, l'ensemble floqué se révélera fragile les adhésifs de la technique du flocage ne pouvant le renforcer
Ce problème de la faiblesse du substrat ne permet pas d'y appliquer un floc pour l'ensemble duquel une tenue aux frottements est requise.However, if the support collecting the flock remains fragile, the flocked assembly will prove to be fragile since the adhesives of the flocking technique cannot reinforce it.
This problem of the weakness of the substrate does not make it possible to apply a flock to it for which all a resistance to friction is required.

30) Sommaire de l'invention
Le procédé exposé dans la présente invention permet de résoudre cette difficulté :
Il procure au support fragile à floquer une carapace souple et élastique sur laquelle le floc se fixera normalement, assurant à l'ensemble une résistance à la déchirure et à l'abrasion. 30) Summary of the invention
The process described in the present invention makes it possible to resolve this difficulty:
It provides the fragile support to be flocked with a flexible and elastic shell on which the flock will normally attach, ensuring that the assembly has resistance to tearing and abrasion.

L'utilisation de cette matière, en l'espèce l'élastomère de polyuréthanne, pour une application nouvelle dans la technique du flocage permet de résoudre pour la première fois le problème de la résistance dessupport s fragiles au sujet desquels une tenue aux frottements est impérative. The use of this material, in this case the polyurethane elastomer, for a new application in the flocking technique makes it possible for the first time to solve the problem of the resistance of fragile supports on which friction resistance is imperative. .

La structure comporte selon une première caractéristique, un support, en l'occurrence fragile, tel un capitonnage en mousse plastique moulée ou découpée (i), une couche adhésive spécifique (2), et un floc qui constitue la surface extérieure (3). According to a first characteristic, the structure comprises a support, in this case fragile, such as a padding in molded or cut plastic foam (i), a specific adhesive layer (2), and a flock which constitutes the external surface (3).

Le capitonnage (1), moulé ou découpé, sera de préférence en mousse souple de polyuréthanne d'une densité de l'ordre de 40 à 60 g/l.  The padding (1), molded or cut, will preferably be made of flexible polyurethane foam with a density of the order of 40 to 60 g / l.

La couche adhésive (2) est obtenue de préférence par application d'un élastomère de polyuréthanne souple d'une dureté d'environ 60 shore A, dont la teneur peut ttre diluée, mais il est possible d'utiliser aussi du latex ou un élastomère acrylique, ou encore un élastomère de polyuréthanne rigide si le capitonnage est en mousse rigide. The adhesive layer (2) is preferably obtained by applying a flexible polyurethane elastomer with a hardness of about 60 shore A, the content of which can be very diluted, but it is also possible to use latex or an elastomer acrylic, or a rigid polyurethane elastomer if the padding is made of rigid foam.

La surface extérieure (3) est constituée d'un floc synthétique, naturel ou mixte, de préférence polyamide. The outer surface (3) consists of a synthetic, natural or mixed flock, preferably polyamide.

Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, la couche adhésive spécifique (2) peut ne pas entre recouverte de floc (3) et constituer la couche de finition. According to a particular embodiment, the specific adhesive layer (2) may not be covered with flock (3) and constitute the finishing layer.

50) Description détaillée
Une réalisation de la structure selon le procédé conforme & la présente invention est représentée sur le dessin annexé.50) Detailed description
An embodiment of the structure according to the method according to the present invention is shown in the accompanying drawing.

Dans ce mode de-réalisation, la structure comprend un support, en l'occurrence fragile, tel un capitonnage en mousse moulée ou découpée (1), une couche adhésive spécifique (2), et un floc qui constitue la surface extérieure (3). In this embodiment, the structure comprises a support, in this case fragile, such as a padding in molded or cut foam (1), a specific adhesive layer (2), and a flock which constitutes the outer surface (3). .

Dans un premier stade opératoire, le capitonnage (i) est, soit moulé par moussage de la résine mousse liquide introduite dans le moule de moussage, soit découpé dans un bloc de mousse. On utilisera de préférence une mousse polyuréthanne d'une densité de l'ordre de 40 à 60 g/l. In a first operating stage, the padding (i) is either molded by foaming the liquid foam resin introduced into the foaming mold, or cut from a block of foam. Preferably, a polyurethane foam with a density of the order of 40 to 60 g / l will be used.

Après démoulage ou découpage, on applique au cours d'un deuxième stade opératoire, une couche adhésive (2) sur le capitonnage. Celle-ci est obtenue de préférence par application d'un élastomère de polyuréthanne souple d'une dureté d'environ 60 shore A, dont la teneur peut outre diluée. After demolding or cutting, an adhesive layer (2) is applied to the upholstery during a second operating stage. This is preferably obtained by applying a flexible polyurethane elastomer with a hardness of around 60 shore A, the content of which may also be diluted.

Dans un troisième stade opératoire, les flocons (3), constitués de fibres synthétiques, naturelles ou mixtes, sont engagés'dans la couche adhésive (2) par voie électrostatique ettou pneumatique. In a third operating stage, the flakes (3), made of synthetic fibers, natural or mixed, are engaged in the adhesive layer (2) by electrostatic and / or pneumatic means.

Il est à noter que des variations du mode de réalisation précédent peuvent ête faites sans sortir des caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention. En conséquence, elles sont incluses dans le cadre des revendications ci-jointes.  It should be noted that variations of the previous embodiment can be made without departing from the characteristics and advantages of the present invention. Consequently, they are included within the scope of the appended claims.
