Definitions

• the subject of the present invention is a method of capturing and / or transferring printed images.
• the invention also relates to a paste for the implementation of this process as well as the game for children obtained.
• stamps on the face of which the chosen image is engraved stamps which they press on an ink pad then on a sheet of paper to transfer the chosen image.
• the possibilities are limited in the sense that only one color can be used for each operation.
• the patterns are limited in number, one per stamp without any possibility of creation unless you can engrave the stamps.
• the object of the invention is to propose a set of means allowing the capture of images from printed journals, or even the transfer of such images to other supports, using simple means, which lead to the production of manipulable objects.
• the aim is also to offer products for such capture and / or transfer which are of a low cost price. In addition, it is necessary that the products used can be handled safely by children.
• the method for capturing an image printed on a support is characterized in that it consists in covering the image with a paste in liquid form. , said paste having a particular affinity for hanging printing inks, allowing said paste to pass to the solid state in the form of a plate and removing said plate from the support, the image being captured in whole or in part by the plate on its face previously opposite the image.
• the dough is placed in a mold prior to the contacting of this dough with the printed image, the dough is brought into contact with the image, the mold is removed with the dough in the solid state and the dough is removed from the mold to allow obtaining a determined contour of the plate.
• the paste is chosen from materials having affinities for imp ⁇ me ⁇ e inks, transparent or translucent in the solid state, to allow the readability of the image captured through said plate made of this material.
• the plate is brought back from the solid state, carrying the first image, to the liquid state for capturing a new image, the first image being destroyed.
• the invention also relates to a method for the transfer of a printed image on a support, in particular a color image printed on paper which is characterized in that it consists in having a layer of paste, in the state liquid, on a pad, to capture an image printed on a first support by pressing said pad with the paste on the image, to remove the pad, the paste and the image thus captured, to transfer and to plate this together on a support chosen to receive the paste and the image, and finally to remove the stamp alone.
• This paste consists of an organic material capable of being brought to the liquid state, having a great affinity for printing inks, and being in the solid state at room temperature.
• it may be a stearin-based compound, present in the solid state at room temperature and in the liquid state with very high viscosity after heating.
• It can also be a polymer with a low polymerization temperature and a low exothermic reaction, which occurs in a flexible state at room temperature.
• the subject of the invention is also a game for children for capturing and / or transferring images, comprising at least one paste having a strong affinity for printing inks and at least means for carrying the paste of the state. solid in liquid state.
• This game also includes means for shaping the dough in the liquid state to give it a predetermined outline in the solid state.
• FIGS. 1A, 1B and 1C show the different stages of implementation of the capture method
• FIGS 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E and 2F show the different stages of the capture process according to the invention with simultaneous transfer.
• Figure 1 there is shown a sheet of paper 10, on which a printed image 12 must be captured.
• composition 14 contained in a container 1 6.
• This composition is liquid within the meaning of the present invention, which means with sufficient viscosity for it to be distributed all by itself on the image depending on the quantity paid.
• Such a composition is for example a mixture of: - 60 to 80% of mineral filler,
• the whole is brought to a temperature of 50 to 60 ° C so as to return the composition to the appropriate viscosity, which the operator can appreciate without particular knowledge.
• the composition hardens and can be manipulated with the fingers and the operator removes the rigid plate 18 from the sheet of paper 10. It can be seen that the printed image 12 is encrusted in the plate 1 8 and that the printing ink is captured by the plate, thus forming a replica of the initial image of which there remains only a certain contour 20 when the capture is not total which is generally the case. It can be noted that the definition of the image thus captured is very fine since there is no expansion, no smearing, the ink not being dissolved but captured mechanically by the composition indicated.
• the material used can also be of the polymer type provided that it polymerizes with a weak exothermic reaction so as not to degrade the support. There is thus commercially a product called
• PLASTISSOL which is perfectly suited or called CAPA based on polycaprolactones.
• the procedure is identical except that the material is in this case liquid at room temperature, only the mixture of several components allowing the production of a solid material, once the polymerization is complete.
• Such a polymer also has another advantage, that of being substantially transparent, which makes it possible to see the image captured, at the location, through the material, without turning it over, provided that the latter is of reduced thickness. This is generally the case because the thickness is reduced automatically, this being dictated by the low viscosity of the polymer before polymerization, hence a tendency to spread.
• the invention can even be used as a means of transferring images from a first support to a second support. Reference is usefully made to FIGS. 2A to 2F.
• an image 1 2 is also printed on a first support 10.
• a buffer 22 is then provided, which comprises a base 24 and a buffer 26 proper.
• This pad is made of a material suitable for being dipped in a composition 14 as described above, either based on solid material which is in the liquid state when it is brought to a suitable temperature, above ambient temperature, or an organic material, for example the product marketed under the name DILIPLAST.
• This composition is contained in a container 28.
• the pad 26 is wetted by the composition, as indicated by arrow 1 and retains a thin layer of it during removal, as indicated by arrow 2.
• the stamp is pressed on image 12, with the material which captures the ink of which the image is made, then removed, FIG. 2D, taking away the thin layer and the image, leaving only the first sheet than a more or less precise outline of the image depending on the amount of residual ink.
• FIG. 2E the operator applies the tampon to a second sheet 100, the surface of which can be in the natural state or previously treated with a bonding product which can again be a thin layer of composition 14 for the image capture.
• This second sheet then carries the image 12 which is transferred from the first sheet 10 to the second sheet 100, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2F.
• Plates can be produced whose contour is random as a function of the viscosity and the gesture of the lord operator, but the plate can be produced with a predefined contour by using a mold having this predefined contour into which one pours beforehand. the composition.
• a plasticizer is commercially available under the trade name DILIPLAST which makes it possible to adapt the final characteristics.
• a children's game can thus include all of these elements, namely a composition forming a paste having a strong affinity for printing inks and means for bringing the paste from the solid state to the liquid state, as well as means for shaping the dough in the liquid state to give it a predetermined outline in the solid state.
