Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method and means for decorating a substrate.
  • lead strip is laid out on the substrate and the spaces between the strip are then coloured by means of chemical colouring agents. There may be problems of adhesion of these agents and precau ⁇ tions need to be taken in their use to avoid health hazards.
  • a method of decorating a substrate comprising taking a flexible, transparent or translucent film, sublimation printing a design or a colouration on the film so as at least partially to penetrate the film, and securing the film adhesively to the substrate.
  • the sublimation printing may be done by a process involving the application of heat and pressure to cause deep penetration of the printing into the film.
  • the process may be a transfer printing process.
  • the method may include the further step of adhering a dividing strip to the substrate and to the film to simulate lead strip.
  • the invention provides a means for decorating a substrate comprising a flexible, transparent or translucent film, having a design or colouration printed thereon by sublimation printing, such that the design or colouration at least partially penet ⁇ rates the film, and adhesive means adapted to secure the film to the substrate.
  • the sheet may be of polyester.
  • the sheet may be provided with an adhesive coating on one face.
  • the adhesive may be curable over a period of time to hold the sheet permanently in position or may be non-curing to enable the film to be removed.
  • a dividing strip may be provided, adapted to be secured to the substrate and to the film.
  • the film may have dividing lines printed thereon to simulate lead strip.
  • the dividing strip may be wound on a reel having a pair of end plates.
  • One or both of the end plates may have a plurality of shaped slots for use as guidelines for laying out the decoration on the substrate.
  • FIGURE 1_ is an illustration of a simulated stained glass panel made using a central printed motif and a sheet of printed patterned background material;
  • FIGURE 2 ⁇ is an illustration of a panel made using a single printed sheet carrying the whole design and di ⁇ vided by strips of adhesively secured imitation lead;
  • FIGURE 3_ illustrates the end plates of a reel of imita ⁇ tion lead strip used in the panel of Figure 2.
  • a trans ⁇ parent or translucent polyester film is printed with a single colour by a printing process involving the use of subliming ink, that is to say using an ink which does not enter the liquid phase but passes direct from the solid phase to the gaseous phase.
  • the ink is caused to penet ⁇ rate into the film by the use of heat and pressure. In this manner, the colour becomes fused into the film and cannot be removed by normal wear and tear.
  • the film is supplied in continuous sheets which can be cut up into shapes by the user. These shapes are then adhesively secured to a substrate such as a glass sheet in -the desired coloured patterns. A dividing strip may then be secured to the substrate and to the film to simulate traditional stained glass.
  • the film is printed with a non- uniform colouration to simulate antique or "cathedral" glass. It is again supplied in continuous form for cutting up by the user.
  • a film has a multi ⁇ coloured design printed on it in a multi-stage process.
  • the design may be of a traditional stained glass appear ⁇ ance for instance, incorporating dividing lines 10 simu ⁇ lating leading.
  • the back ⁇ ground has a diamond-shaped pattern.
  • the design may represent any form of illus ⁇ tration, lettering or the like.
  • a circular motif 14 printed in half-tones to produce shading.
  • Colours may be overlaid during the printing sequence to produce variations in tone. In this way the range of designs available can be extended to virtually any type of design which can be printed on paper.
  • the ink used in the design and the film must be sufficiently resistant to deterioration by light, particularly ultra-violet light.
  • the film is supplied carrying a complete design 12 which can simply be adhered to the desired substrate by the user.
  • multi-coloured designs made in this way can be supplied as motifs 14 for use alone or in combination with each other, or with single-colour films as previously described.
  • the design can be over ⁇ laid with dividing strips 13 of lead or imitation lead to more nearly simulate stained glass.
  • transfer printing techniqes are used, with the mirror image of the desired design first being printed on a transfer sheet and then being laid onto the film. The heat and pressure neces ⁇ sary to sublime the ink into the film are then applied and the design thereafter becomes fixed in the film.
  • a coating of a suitable adhesive is applied to one face of the film and a peel-off protective sheet is applied to be removed before use.
  • the adhesive is of a curable type which becomes permanent after curing for a period of time, for example after a few days.
  • non-perma ⁇ nent decorations may be made by using a non-curing adhe ⁇ sive. These may be useful for decorating childrens' rooms, where decorations may need to be changed as the child grows older, or for very short-term uses such as Christmas or other celebratory decorations or for depart ⁇ ment store special promotions.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates end plates which may be used, one or both of the end plates 15, 16 having slots 17 of various shapes known as french curves, to assist in the creation of designs by the non-professional user.
  • the invention provides a safe and versatile way in which decoration can be added to a substrate such as glass, mirrors, plastics sheets and tiles.

Abstract

Un procédé et des moyens de décoration d'un substrat tel que du verre, des carreaux ou des miroirs pour imiter le vitrail comprend l'utilisation d'un film flexible, transparent ou translucide, par exemple, un film de polyester, pouvant présenter un revêtement auto-adhésif sur l'un de ses côtés, l'impression par sublimation d'un dessin (12), d'un motif (14) ou d'une coloration sur le film afin de pénétrer le film au moins partiellement et la fixation du film par adhésion au substrat. L'impression par sublimation peut s'effectuer au moyen d'un procédé impliquant l'utilisation de chaleur et de pression pour provoquer une pénétration profonde de l'impression dans le film, avec un procédé d'impression par transfert ou décalcomanie. Un filet de séparation (13) en plomb ou plomb d'imitation peut être fixé par adhésion au substrat et au film.
