iiÜiüiLQILL decorative figure to stick on wall surfaces,

The innovation concerns a decorative figure to stick on ifandf 1 surfaces or the like, the figure body made of plaster or the like « and a flat lower surface part suitable for gluing has"

Décor ati onsi igures to be glued to ifand surfaces, primarily in the shape of letters or digits are used to decorate shop windows, to label goods on offer Lettering of doors or used for similar purposes, such as »B» also as so-called title letters in the production of Movie titles. Such decorative figures can basically be made from any solid material, e.g. metal or from relatively expensive plastic that is found on plastic injection molding machines is injected into molds «For all applications, however, where there are a lot of or very cheap decorative figures are needed, decorative figures turn out to be proportionate expensive and difficult to process materials than too Expensive and unsuitable. For such cases there are already decorative figures known from plaster of paris or similar cheap materials that can be cold cast. These decorative figures have however, they have the disadvantage that, due to the nature of the cheap material, they are quite brittle and therefore not very durable.

In the case of decorative letters or numbers, even minor damage to the edges makes the decorative figures unsightly. There are also decorative figures made of relatively cheap and thin plastic known, which z _e B "can be processed from plastic films by deep-drawing or in a similarly simple manner" the thin plastic walls only form the side and upper surfaces of the decorative figures, which are open and hollow from below can these decorative figures, because they are open and hollow from below, not on wall surfaces or the like. be glued, for which a flat lower surface part would be required. Such decorative figures are therefore attached to suitable wall surfaces, for example sheet steel, with the aid of magnets which are inserted into the open hollow underside. It is obvious that the possible uses of these decorative figures made of thin plastic and hollow on the underside are very limited because of the difficulty of attaching them. "The aim of the innovation is to overcome these disadvantages."

According to the innovation, the at the beginning of a decorative figure mentioned type, the figure body made of plaster or the like «consists and a flat lower surface portion suitable for gluing has suggested that the remaining surface parts with a Plastic layer are covered »The innovation combines the advantages the known from plaster or the like. existing decorative figures with the advantages of the well-known made of thin plastic. ' and on the Underside hollow decorative figures, with the disadvantages of both known embodiments are omitted «The decorative figures According to the innovation, they are cheap to manufacture, they are massive and cannot warp, despite the internal plaster of paris they are not easily brittle because of the plastic layer

so permanent and do not become unsightly, and are ultimately in the simplest, known manner, on wall surfaces or the like. can be glued on because they have a flat lower surface part »

According to a further feature of the innovation, the decorative figures can in a manner known per se on the flat lower surface part be covered with a self-adhesive adhesive layer. The particular advantage of using the measure known per se in the The innovation results from the following circumstance: The self-adhesive Adhesive layers allow a sufficiently strong adhesion of the decorative figures on wall surfaces »The liability is not very solid, so that there is the possibility of the decorative figures removed again later to use in other ways. From this possibility, attached decorative figures later to remove it again is therefore often used when decorative figures are provided with a self-adhesive adhesive layer are. In the previously known figure bodies made of plaster of paris but it often happened that the figure's body was subjected to the small but necessary application of force to tear off the adhesive layer broke. This risk no longer exists with the innovation because the plastic layer gives the figure's body sufficient strength gives »The use of the self-adhesive adhesive layer, which is known per se, has the advantage with the innovation that of the The previously known possibility of later removal of decorative figures can now be used without hesitation, because the risk of breakage is eliminated.

Embodiments of the innovation are given below by reference described on the attached drawing:

1 shows a decorative figure in the shape of the letter "L." in perspective view,

Fig. 2 shows the decorative figure according to Fig. 1, now from the Seen from the underside, in perspective view,

Fig. 3 shows a section along the line I-I in Fig. 2, and

FIG. 4 shows in a representation similar to FIG further design of the innovation with a self-adhesive Adhesive layer "

The decorative figure drawn in FIGS. 1 to 3 has the shape of the letter "L", this figure was made for example Description of the innovation selected. The shape itself, however, has no significance whatsoever for the innovation * in the sense of the ability to innovate also decorative figures with other shapes, e.g. letters "A", "B" or digits "1", "3" can be produced.

It is essential for the innovation that the plaster of paris, for example existing figure body 1, which has a flat lower surface part suitable for gluing, on its remaining surface parts is covered with a plastic layer 3. With the one drawn Embodiment are the "other surface parts" in For the purposes of the innovation, the side surfaces and the - e.g. in Fig. 1 above lying - upper surface of the figure's body »

Fig. 4 shows the further developed innovation in which the flat lower surface part - see »2 in Fig. 3 - in per se Covered with a self-adhesive adhesive layer 4 in a known manner is.

While the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3 on the flat Lower surface parts 2 coated with adhesive and then glued on can be, this is according to the further embodiment Fig. 4 is not necessary because the decorative figure drawn there by means of the self-adhesive adhesive layer 4 directly to a Wall surface can be glued.

The production of the decorative figures according to the innovation can done in such a way that first the figure body made of plaster and the hollow plastic layer bodies, which are open at the bottom

then using the plastic layer body An adhesive can be placed and glued onto the figure's body made of plaster of paris. Easier, cheaper and therefore However, initially only the plastic layer bodies are more advantageous made, set up with the opening upwards - as drawn e.g. in Fig. 2 and 3 -, and then with plaster or the like. poured out "

Incidentally, the innovation also enables certain ones to be implemented taste effects that were previously from technical Reasons were impossible. You can now use very cheap, but still massive decorative figures with a metallic surface getting produced. For this it is only necessary to use the plastic layer body for example by deep-drawing from a commercially available transparent plastic film, the back of which a very thin layer of metal carries «So corrosion-protected cheap and massive decorative figures are made, which look as if they were, for example, "made of gold, silver, copper or steel". Such decorative figures can be used. as so-called House numbers are used that were previously extremely expensive in metal "
