Definitions

  • This invention relates to decorative emblems and the like and methods for their manufacture.
  • Decorative plaques and emblems are widely used throughout a number of industries, including the automotive and appliance industry. Many of these decorative emblems are formed on metal or plastic substrates onto which a liquid plastic resin is cast. The plastic resin cures to form a convex or positive meniscus-shaped cap over the substrate which gives a lens effect to the printed decorative indicia on the substrate. Such emblems are conventionally adhered to their intended surface, such as an automobile or appliance body, utilizing a pressure sensitive adhesive coated on the back of the emblem substrate.
  • Waugh U.S. Patent No. 4,100,010 discloses a method for the manufacture of plastic-capped decorative emblems which utilizes a flat, decorated foil substrate which can be either metal, paper, or plastic. Onto this decorated foil substrate, a liquid plastic resin is cast which flows to the peripheral side walls of the substrate and forms a positive meniscus or lens cap over the substrate.
  • Reed U.S. Patent No. 4,259,388, also describes a plastic-capped medallion which is formed on a flexible plastic substrate.
  • Reed and Gilleo et al U.S. Patent No. 4,409,264, describe the use of a non-wetting material or so-called low surface energy dams to confine the flow of liquid plastic resin during casting.
  • US-A-4330352 discloses a metallized decorative film laminate comprising a substantially transparent plastic film, a thin metallic layer providing a decorative effect and having one side attached to one side of the plastic film by an adhesive layer and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer attached to the other side of the metallic layer.
  • Such die cutting operations, as well as embossing of the substrate, may also cause deformation of the substrate or a burring of the edges of the cut out substrates.
  • Such deformation and burred edges introduce problems during the casting of liquid plastic resin onto the substrate and may cause overflow of the resin over the edges of the substrate.
  • kiss cutting sometimes accidentally resulting in partial severing of the underlying support sheet. If that support sheet is held down by vacuum as in Waugh patent no. 4,100,010, then, during resin casting the vacuum may "pull at" the resin through the severed support sheet, causing overflow.
  • deformation and curling of the substrate during curing of the plastic resin may also occur because of differences in expansion and contraction rates of the plastic resin and substrate material. For example, as the plastic resin cures, some shrinkage may occur which causes substrate curling.
  • the present invention consists in a method of making a substrateless decorative emblem comprising the steps of:
  • the present invention consists in a substrateless decorative emblem comprising a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive, a first surface thereof being treated to render it tack-free, decoration provided on said tack-free, treated first surface of said pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a plastic layer coated over said decorated surface.
  • a substrateless decorative emblem is made by the steps of providing a layer of a pressure sensitive adhesive on a support sheet.
  • the pressure sensitive adhesive surface is treated to render the upper surface of the adhesive substantially tack free and suitable for silk screening or otherwise printing directly on the treated upper surface.
  • a raised annular boundary may be formed on one surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive to form at least one enclosed decorative area thereon either before or after the pressure sensitive adhesive surface is then treated to render the upper surface of the adhesive tack-free.
  • a series of emblem designs are formed on the treated upper surface as a decorative surface without formation of a raised annular boundary.
  • a preformed decorative embedment is placed on the upper surface of the adhesive to both produce a decorative surface and render that portion of the adhesive surface tack-free.
  • a measured amount of a curable liquid plastic resin may be cast onto the decorated surface.
  • the resin forms a positive meniscus over the decorated area without overflowing the raised annular boundary.
  • the resin is then cured and hardened to provide a substrateless decorative emblem having a plastic lens cap.
  • a relatively flat cap may be applied by flow coating, spraying or laminating. In that instance, a die cutting operation can be used to separate individual emblems from the assembly.
  • the article assembly also includes a release liner.
  • a preferred method of forming the decorative article of the present invention includes providing a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive supported on a sheet of release liner.
  • the adhesive may be applied to the release liner in a conventional manner such as by spraying or roll coating.
  • a plurality of article designs may be formed on the adhesive layer by suitable silkscreening techniques or by applying a series of decorative embedments.
  • That boundary which may be formed by the cut edges of a cover sheet, acts as a knife edge of sorts such that when the emblem is peeled from the assembly, the underlying adhesive will break sharply at those edges resulting in an emblem having crisp edges.
  • a die cutting operation can also be used to separate individual emblems (with release liner attached) from the overall assembly.
  • the present invention thus provides a decorative emblem without the need for the metal, plastic, or paper substrate required by prior art emblems and without the concomitant problems associated with forming and curing such emblems.
  • Figs. l and 5 illustrate in cross section substrateless decorative emblems made in accordance with the process of the present invention.
  • Fig. l illustrates the situation which exists when the emblem is die cut from the assembly and the release liner remains on the back of each individual emblem until the emblem is put in use.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates the situation which exists when a plurality of emblems are located on the release liner until peeled off, producing an emblem ready for use as shown in Fig. 5.
  • Emblem l0 has a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive l2 having an upper and a lower surface.
  • Pressure sensitive adhesive l2 can be any of a number of commercially available adhesives such as, for example, an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • Liner l4 is preferably coated with a release material such as a silicone-based polymer which permits ready removal of emblem l0 when it is desired to adhere the emblem to an intended substrate such as an automobile body, appliance, or the like.
  • Non-tacky surface l6 covers the upper surface of adhesive l2.
  • Non-tacky surface l6 is preferably a clear lacquer one, but may also be a particle layer (such as talc or mica).
  • a thin bright metallic layer approximately 2.54 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 4 cm (0.000l inch) thick or less, may be applied by hot stamping or spray metallizing, and serves to provide a bright or colored background for indicia l8 printed thereon.
  • Indicia l8 may be any desirable decoration including words, numbers, symbols, pictures, or combinations thereof.
  • Adhesive l2 may itself be colored, by any number of means, to serve as a background for indicia l8.
  • a cured, clear plastic lens cap 20 overlies and encapsulates indicia l8.
  • the edges of lens caps 20 are contiguous with the layer of adhesive l2, and form a positive-shaped meniscus. This meniscus contributes to the lens effect of cap 20, enhancing the beauty of the printed indicia l8 while at the same time providing a tough, weather-resistant protective covering.
  • Cap 20 may be formed of any castable plastic resin which is curable to a clear, tough compound.
  • a two-part polyurethane resin is used; although, other castable plastics may also be used. Such resins may be cured by either heat or exposure to ultraviolet or other radiation.
  • the substrateless decorative emblem of the present invention is preferably produced by the following steps. Initially, a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive l2 is coated onto release liner l4. Adhesive l2 may be applied to liner l4 by any suitable means such as by spraying or roll or dip coating. Preferably, adhesive layer l2 is applied in a thickness of from between about 5.08 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 to 2.54. 10 ⁇ 2 cm (0.002 to 0.0l0) inches.
  • a raised annular boundary is formed on the upper surface l3 of adhesive l2 forming an enclosed area thereon.
  • the upper surface l3 is then treated, as desribed in further detail below, to render it tack free and suitable for printing directly on the treated surface.
  • the raised annular boundary is formed by laminating a cover sheet 22 over adhesive surface l2.
  • cover sheet 22 As shown, one or more areas 24 of cover sheet 22 have been removed, such as by die cutting, to leave the corresponding area or areas of adhesive l2 exposed.
  • the periphery of cut out areas 24 of cover sheet 22 correspond to the final shape of emblems l0 which are produced. Areas 24 may be circular, oval, square, rectangular, or any other desired shape.
  • Cover sheet 22 may be of metal, cardboard, paper, or plastic. However, it is preferred that cover sheet 22 be of a nonabsorbing material or be treated to be nonabsorbing. Suitable plastics include styrene or polyester having a thickness of approximately 1.016 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 2 to 2.032 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 2 cm (0.004 to 0.008 inches).
  • cover sheet 22 is treated to render its surface substantially nonwetting to the liquid plastic resin which is to be cast.
  • Suitable treating agents include fluorocarbon compounds such as polytetrafluoroethylene and silicones.
  • a preferred treating agent for a polyester cover sheet comprises a mixture of polytetrafluoroethylene and Hypalon (trademark of duPont).
  • Hypalon which is a chlorinated rubber material, improves the adhesion of the treating agent to the polyester substrate and increases the ductility of the coating.
  • the treating agent may be applied in any suitable manner such as by screen printing, spraying, or roll coating.
  • the exposed areas of adhesive l2 are then treated to render the upper surface l3 of the adhesive tack free and suitable for printing indicia l8 directly thereon.
  • the lower surface of adhesive l2 remains tacky so that the finished article may be adhered to an intended surface.
  • the treatment of upper surface l3 of adhesive l2 to render it tack free may be accomplished by a number of different procedures.
  • upper surface l3 may be overcoated with a clear or colored lacquer which forms non-tacky layer l6 and seals the upper surface of the adhesive.
  • upper surface l3 may be dusted with a fine powder of inert particles such as mica.
  • a bright metallic surface may be applied to upper surface l3. This can be accomplished by applying a bright metal hot stamp foil to upper surface l3 by means of a pressure roll or the like. The foil is accompanied by a carrier film which is then stripped away leaving bright metal non-tacky surface l6.
  • a metallic non-tacky surface may have a silver or gold color, or other colors may be used as desired.
  • the overall thickness of a bright metallic surface is desirably 2.54 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 cm (0.00l) inches or less.
  • any suitable indicia l8 may be printed directly thereon. These indicia may include letters, numbers, words, symbols, pictures, or other decoration.
  • the printing may be accomplished by any of a number of printing techniques which are known in the art, including silk screen printing.
  • Adhesive layer l2 may itself be colored by the addition of suitable pigment or dye to the composition. If layer l2 is already colored, the need for printing a colored background is eliminated. Likewise, if layer l2 is clear, areas of the upper surface may be left undecorated by indicia l8 so that when applied to a substrate (such as a chrome plated surface) the color or brightness of the substrate shows through in those areas.
  • a liquid plastic resin is cast onto the decorated surface and flows to the sides of cover sheet 22 which define open area 24.
  • the amount of liquid resin applied is controlled so that the resin forms a positive meniscus but does not overflow onto the cover sheet 22.
  • it may also be controlled so as to produce a relatively flat cap should the lens not be desired.
  • the nonwetting fluorocarbon coating which has previously been applied aids in controlling the flow of plastic. Apparatus suitable for performing the casting operation is more fully described in Waugh, U.S. Patent No. 4,l00,0l0, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the plastic resin utilized is preferably a clear thermosetting material which is resistant to abrasion and impact.
  • a number of plastics can be used for this purpose, but one which is particularly advantageous is an impact-resistant polyurethane.
  • Polyurethanes useful in the practice of the present invention are two-part compositions which are the reaction product of a glycol, such as a polyether or polyester glycol, and an aliphatic diisocyanate.
  • the cast plastic resin is cured or otherwise hardened to form a lens cap 20.
  • the resin is preferably cured by heating or ultraviolet radiation. However, depending on the particular composition utilized, other methods such as radio frequency heating, hot air drying, or even the heat of an exothermic curing reaction may be utilized.
  • the process described above is preferably used to form a sheet-sized assembly having a plurality of emblems on it. That assembly may, then, be sent in sheet form to the user. The user will peel individual emblems from the assembly at the time of use. As mentioned previously, the edges of cover sheet 22 surrounding each individual emblem act as a knife edge of sorts to sharply cut the adhesive layer as the capped, decorated emblem, as shown in Fig. 5, is separated from the release liner. The polyurethane cap has firmly bonded to the indicia bearing adhesive and the capped emblem is, thus, cleanly separate from the assembly by this peeling procedure.
  • individual emblems may be die-cut from the assembly. In that instance, it is not necessary to use a cover sheet 22 and other methods may be used to form the raised boundary. These include the methods taught in Reed, U.S. Patent No. 4,259,388, and Gilleo, U.S. Patent No. 4,409,264, which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • a raised boundary may be formed by an embossing operation. In this embodiment, it is desirable to render the upper adhesive surface tack-free prior to formation of the raised boundaries. The remaining steps are, then, the same as in the preferred embodiment. After die cutting, the individual embodiment emblems will have the cross-section shown in Fig. l.
  • article 30 has a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive 32 having an upper and a lower surface.
  • Pressure sensitive adhesive 32 can be as previously described.
  • the lower surface of adhesive 32 is adhered to a release liner 34.
  • the upper surface 33 of adhesive 32 has been treated, as explained in further detail above, to render it substantially tack free. As shown in the figures, a non-tacky surface 36 covers the upper surface of adhesive 32.
  • a plurality of individual decorated articles may be supported on a single larger sheet or web of release liner 34.
  • Liquid plastic resin may then be cast, coated, sprayed, extruded or otherwise applied over the entire sheet or web. Such a procedure produces a relatively flat plastic cap over the entire sheet.
  • individual articles may be die cut, stamped out, or otherwise separated from the larger sheet.
  • the individual articles may be kiss-cut (i.e., cut through to release liner 34) and left on the larger sheet. In this manner, they may be shipped and sold to ultimate users who may then readily peel individual articles from the release liner 34 for adherance to intended substrates.
  • a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive 32 is coated onto release liner 34.
  • the adhesive 32 is then treated to render the upper surface 33 of the adhesive substantially tack free and suitable for printing indicia 38 directly thereon.
  • the lower surface of adhesive 32 remains tacky so that the finished article may be adhered to an intended surface.
  • any suitable indicia l8 may be printed directly thereon.
  • Adhesive layer 32 may itself be colored by the addition of suitable pigments or dyes to the composition. If layer 32 is already colored, the need for printing a colored background is eliminated.
  • layer 32 is clear, areas of the upper surface may be left undecorated by indicia 38 so that when applied to a substrate (such as a chrome plated surface) the color or brightness of the substrate shows through in those areas.
  • a clear or colored plastic sheet 40 is laminated to the assembly. Any of a number of different plastics may be utilized depending upon the effect desired, and the intended environment for the article. To insure that the plastic layer adheres permanently to the decorated assembly, the lower surface of layer 40 may have an adhesive thereon to bond to the assembly.
  • individual articles 30 may be die cut, stamped out, or otherwise separated from a larger sheet to produce individual articles as shown in Fig. 6.
  • Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate, in cross-section, plastic-capped adhesive articles produced by yet other alternative embodiments of the present invention.
  • Article 50 has a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive 52 having a first upper surface 53 and a second lower surface.
  • the lower surface of adhesive 52 is adhered to a release liner 54 or other releasable support surface.
  • Decorative embedment 55 is then positioned on adhesive 52.
  • Embedment 55 is illustrated, for purposes of description, as a relatively thin, flat foil shape. However, embedment 55 may take any convenient form. Alternatively, a plurality of embedments may be positioned on a single article. As illustrated, the embedment does not extend to the peripheral edges of the article.
  • Embedment 55 may be made of metal, paper, plastic, or the like.
  • embedment 55 may be embossed to yield a three-dimensional appearance.
  • the height of such an embossment is in the range of 2.54 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 2 cm (0.01 inches).
  • the adhesive 52 may then be treated to render the upper surface 53 of the adhesive substantially tack free and suitable for printing indicia 58 directly thereon.
