Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for dressing split leather or leather fiber materials, and a device for producing a finish on split leather or the like.
- split leather with a finish which has a structured surface, for example a surface structured like a leather grain.
- a liquid, wet, the dressing-forming mass is applied directly to the top of the split leather, for example by pouring, brushing, plushing, spraying, printing, or by means of a roller application machine and solidifying by drying.
- the finished split leather In order for the finish to be given a leather-grain-like structured surface, the finished split leather must be embossed in this known method after the liquid dressing composition has dried or after the finish has solidified.
- This split leather is embossed in an embossing press under the action of heat at very high pressure. This undesirably changes the structure of the split leather and the finish.
- the trimmed split leather not only becomes thinner, but also harder and stiffer.
- the existing water vapor permeability of the dressing is reduced or destroyed because the pores present in the dressing are closed or destroyed again during embossing under heat and pressure.
- thermoplastic materials which can be deformed under heat and pressure can be used for the preparation of the dressing, since otherwise it is not possible to subsequently emboss the structured surface into the hardened dressing.
- thermoplastics have poorer properties than non-thermoplastic or less thermoplastic.
- Another disadvantage is that the embossing of the structured surface takes place in a separate work process, i.e. the finished split leather must be treated further, that is, as a rule, inserted manually into an embossing press.
- EP-A 105 046 it is already proposed to first apply a part of the dressing compound to a base and allow it to solidify, then to apply another part of the dressing compound to one side of the split leather and this with the applied dressing compound in its wet phase on the base hang up in such a way that the side of the split leather provided with the finish lies on the solidified finish on the base and the dry side of the split leather without the finish points upwards.
- the base hiebei has a negative shape corresponding to the desired leather grain-like structured surface of the dressing, so that when the dressing composition dries under light pressure, the dressing at the same time acquires a leather grain-like appearance.
- the dressing is structured in such a way that the split leather does not change its thickness, softness and water vapor permeability, or changes it only slightly. Prepared split leather produced in this way is therefore soft, supple and comes closest to the full-grain leather in terms of its appearance and properties.
- the main disadvantage of this known procedure is, however, that the split leather must be turned over immediately after the wet dressing compound has been applied, so that the side of the split leather provided with the dressing compound faces downward and in the wet state with the base having a corresponding structure is brought into full contact. In particular with large gaps, manual turning over creates considerable difficulties and is associated with great physical exertion.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a finished split leather or a leather fiber material in which the finish having a structured surface can be made very thin, so that the properties of the split leather or the like are not significantly changed by applying the finish , whereby the coarse fibrous structure of the split leather is not on the surface of the finish and an inseparable connection between the leather and the finish is guaranteed.
- the present invention is intended to create a method and a device by means of which the preparation of such prepared split leather or the like is made possible in a simple and safe manner.
- the work involved in carrying out a color change during dressing should also be reduced.
- the method and the device according to claims 1 and 17 are proposed according to the invention.
- the fact that the layer formed by the aqueous plastic dispersion fills the recesses of the leather and completely surrounds the protruding fibers of the leather not only ensures an absolutely inseparable connection between this layer and the leather, but also ensures that the surface of the dressing only the desired has a structured shape, but the depressions of the leather and the fibers protruding from this leather do not appear on this surface of the dressing.
- aqueous plastic dispersion is understood to mean highly polymeric plastics which contain water or are dispersed in water and which form films by removing the water, for example by evaporation, preferably with the addition of heat.
- the dressing consists of two layers, the inner layer adjacent to the leather and completely absorbing the projecting fibers being formed by the aqueous plastic dispersion and the outer layer having the structured surface being formed from an aqueous plastic dispersion or from a liquid plastic solution.
- liquid plastic solution is understood to mean high-polymer plastics dissolved in a solvent, which when sprayed or brushed form films which solidify through solvent removal, for example through evaporation of the solvent.
- a finish is made with a thickness such that, on the one hand, a good, inseparable connection with the leather takes place, whereby a complete embedding of the fibers protruding from the leather is guaranteed, and on the other hand the properties of the leather through the finish are not be adversely affected.
- these hollow microspheres with a diameter of 0.008 to 0.1 mm are expediently admixed with the thin shell of thermoplastic material, preferably of vinylidene chloride, before application of the aqueous plastic dispersion Copolymer, exists.
- an aqueous plastic dispersion or a liquid plastic solution is applied to it, the leather being applied to the base only after this further aqueous plastic dispersion or liquid plastic solution has solidified .
- This further aqueous plastic dispersion or liquid plastic solution can then, for example, directly form a finish.
- the solidification of the layers forming the dressing can be accelerated by heating the aqueous plastic dispersion or liquid plastic solution during and / or after application, so that the water or solvent escapes more quickly.
- heating can be done electrically, for example by infrared radiation, but also by a gas burner.
- the aqueous plastic dispersion or liquid plastic solution applied to the surface of the base solidifies, starting from the heated base, so that there are no bubbles in the area forming the dressing, since there immediately upon contact of the aqueous plastic dispersion or liquid Plastic solution forms a firm skin with the heated surface.
- the aqueous plastic dispersion is applied to the leather by means of at least one application roller.
- the leather is expediently moved past the application roller, the direction of rotation of the application roller being opposite to the direction of movement of the leather.

- the paper base with the split leather on it is taken over by a heated endless steel belt, which has a length of more than 12 meters and a width of more than 1.2 meters, and is transported through it in such a way that in those places where the leather lies on the paper web, a rubber cover acting as a membrane with a sealing frame and a valve-provided opening for connection to a vacuum source is placed on the leather so that it covers the leather. Then the air is sucked out below the rubber cover, so that the membrane presses against the leather due to the resulting negative pressure and presses the leather onto the paper or onto the steel band.
- the steel strip is heated to a temperature between 70 and 140 ° C by illuminating the underside of the steel strip using infrared radiators.
- the valve is opened 60 seconds after the vacuum is applied and the rubber cover takes on its original shape due to its elastic properties. After removing the rubber cover, the finished leather can be peeled off the paper.
- the longitudinal and transverse grooves provided in the rubber cover ensure that the gases and water vapor can escape from the leather even when the membrane is pressed onto the leather by the vacuum.
- membrane is by no means understood to mean only an elastomeric material clamped in a frame or other holder.
- the membrane can also consist of only a single or multi-layer elastomeric material and can have any shape, e.g. be designed like a lid. In any case, the membrane must have such a shape that it limits an evacuable cavity when placed on the support and / or on the base and is pressed against the leather when the vacuum is applied.
- the continuous movement of the front Dressed split leather in the vacuum device, which is supported on the base, can be made not only in a substantially horizontal plane, but also, for example, in a paternoster-like manner in a substantially vertical direction or also in a direction that is oblique to the horizontal.
- a circular movement is expediently always carried out in such a way that the transport device always returns to a specific transfer point.
