Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for applying a decorative layer to a glazing by screen printing, according to which the decorative layer is applied at least in a selected area exactly up to the peripheral edge of the glazing. It also relates to devices for carrying out the process.
  • Automobile windows are frequently provided, along an edge or all of their periphery, with a decorative layer made, as a general rule, of baking ink.
  • the decorative layer has, inter alia, the function of protecting against UV rays the layer of adhesive by which the glazings are fixed in the frame.
  • Screen printing has proven to be particularly satisfactory for the application of the decorative layer on the surface of the glazing.
  • the screen printing ink is usually fired at temperatures of 550 to 600 ° C or more, during the heat treatment necessary for bending and / or tempering the glazing.
  • the panes when fitted, are no longer fitted with a profiled frame enclosing their edge or overlapping it, but are, on the contrary, visible from the outside to their edge.
  • Irregularities in the outer limit of the decorative layer in particular slightly different spacings between the outer limit of the decorative layer and the edge of the glazing, can be very troublesome.
  • the protection of the adhesive layer against UV rays is no longer ensured in the areas which are not coated with the decorative layer. Therefore, it is of great interest to apply the ink layer forming the decorative layer, by printing, in selected areas or along from the entire periphery of the glazing, exactly to the peripheral edge of this glazing.
  • glazing indeed has, as a general rule, certain permissible dimensional tolerances while they are all printed using a single screen printing screen.
  • the positioning operations of the glazing units to be printed and of the printing tools are also linked to tolerances which are added, where appropriate, to the dimensional tolerances of the glazing unit.
  • the part of the screen which lets the ink pass extends beyond the edge of the glazing, the ink adheres to these places in the meshes of the screen or to the underside of the latter, which gives smudged prints during the following printing operations.
  • the application of ink, in screen printing is usually carried out only up to a certain distance from the edge of the glazing, which also takes into account the most unfavorable case.
  • the invention aims to develop the screen printing process in such a way that the printing of glazing by means of decorative layers going exactly to the peripheral edge can be carried out independently of the inevitable surface tolerances of the glazing and of the screen as well as the positioning tolerances of the glazing and of the screen, without the screen and the peripheral faces of the glazing may be smeared with screen printing ink.
  • the process must be suitable for mass production of printed glazing.
  • this object is achieved by the fact that a screen-printing screen with a printing surface extending beyond the edge of the glazing is used and which is extracted upwards out of the meshes of the screen, by pneumatic differential pressure, the printing ink which, during the printing operation, is present in the screen, outside the surface of the glazing.
  • the screen is designed in such a way that the printing surface extends beyond the edge of the glazing, even in the most unfavorable case of dimensional tolerances and conditions of positioning. This ensures that the ink is applied to the surface of the glazing, in any case up to the edge thereof.
  • the ink expelled through the mesh of the screen, outside the surface of the glazing is rendered harmless by the fact that it is entrained in a flow of air which flows from bottom to top, from so that the screen is free of ink, after the printing operation, also outside the surface of the glazing.
  • the air flow also prevents the peripheral faces of the glazing from being wetted by screen printing ink.
  • the pneumatic differential pressure outside the peripheral face of the glazing is produced by the fact that a static overpressure is created below the screen or that one allows to an air flow to act from below on the screen. This can be done at the same time as the printing operation or immediately after this, provided that the screen is still on the glazing.
  • the pneumatic differential pressure is produced by means of a nozzle which, after the scraping of the ink on the upper face of the screen, is passed over this screen.
  • the screen printing device illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 makes it possible to carry out the process according to the invention thanks to the fact that the screen, outside the glazing 1 to be printed, is kept free of ink or is freed from it by an overpressure acting by bottom on screen 2.
  • the glazing 1 is placed on a flat table 4.
  • the actual bearing surface 5 of the table 4 has the shape of the glazing 1 to be printed, but is, overall, smaller that glazing 1, so that this glazing 1 protrudes, all along from its periphery, from the bearing surface 5, a short distance A.
  • To the bearing surface 5 of the table is connected laterally a channel 6 delimited, on the outside, by a wall 7 which can be formed, for example, by a plate 8 extending the table top.
  • the peripheral face 9 of the glazing is arranged above the channel 6, during the printing operation.
  • a distribution channel 12 is mounted on the table top 4 and comprises supply tubes 13 which are connected to a fan. The air admitted by the supply tubes 13 flows inside the channel 6, vertically upwards.
  • the screen printing screen 2 has a printing surface 15, the external contour 16 of which is, overall, larger than the external contour of the glazing 1 formed by the peripheral face 9.
  • the protrusion B of the edge 9 of the glazing by the contour 16 of the printing surface 15 it has proved advantageous for the protrusion B of the edge 9 of the glazing by the contour 16 of the printing surface 15 to amount to a few millimeters.
  • the printing operation begins with the fact that the doctor blade 18 is pressed on the screen printing screen 2 and is pulled in the direction of the arrow F on this stencil screen 2, pressurized air is admitted through the supply tubes 13.
  • the air flow escaping vertically from the channel 6 sweeps the screen screen from below and prevents that, in the area of the printing surface projecting from the peripheral face 9 of the glazing, the printing ink comes down from the meshes of the screen.
  • the ink applied by printing on the surface of the glass is sucked from the top of the upper face of the screen printing screen.
  • the aspirated ink is collected in a container and can be reused after a corresponding preparation.
  • the screen printing device again comprises a flat table 20 on which the glazing 1 is placed with a corresponding positioning.
  • the serigraphic screen 2 fixed to the frame 3 again has a printing surface 15 whose outer contour 16 is located at a distance B outside the peripheral face 9 of the glazing 1 positioned.
  • the screen printing ink is applied by moving the doctor blade 21 in the direction of the arrow F, across the screen, on the surface of the glass.
  • the ink is also discharged into the zone of the screen printing screen situated between the peripheral face 9 of the glazing and the external contour 16 of the printing surface 15, through the meshes of the screen .
  • the slot nozzle 23 is guided in the same sense that the doctor blade 21 on the screen, the suction slot 24 of the slot nozzle being maintained at a distance of a few millimeters above the screen printing screen.
  • the posterior lip 25 of the slot nozzle 23 is longer than the anterior lip 26 and slides on the surface of the screen printing screen 2.
  • the length 1 of the slot nozzle 23 is less than the length L of the doctor blade 21, to guarantee that the screen printing ink is only sucked in the area in which the doctor blade 21 has scraped the ink on the screen.
  • the crevice nozzle 23 is advantageously mounted on the same support as that carrying the doctor blade 21, so that the doctor blade and the crevice nozzle are guided at the same time at a constant distance above the screen.
  • the slot nozzle 23 proper is connected to a collecting duct 27 which is in communication, via one or more pipes 28 and flexible pipes which are connected to it, with a suitable suction fan.
  • FIG. 5 A device, which has given satisfaction for the addition of diluent oil or solvent to the flow of aspirated air, is illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • a distribution duct 29 On the rear wall of the slot nozzle 23, a little above the lip 25 of the nozzle which slides on the screen 2, there is provided a distribution duct 29 which extends over the entire width of the nozzle slot.
  • the distribution duct 29 is provided a pipe 30 for supplying the diluent liquid.
  • the distribution duct 29 and the lip 25 of the slot nozzle are provided with a series of perforations 31 through which the diluent oil leaves the distribution duct 29 and is entrained by the flow of aspirated air.
  • the perforations 31 can be, for example, arranged at horizontal intervals of 10 to 30 mm and have a diameter of about 1 mm.
  • the volume of diluent oil can be adjusted by a throttle valve provided in the supply pipe 30.
  • diluent oil or solvent it is possible to use the liquids which serve as diluents for adjusting the viscosity of the ink.
