Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coated article imitating liquid droplets.
  • Such articles are known, in particular in the field of cosmetic cases (and in particular caps lipstick or the like).
  • the article is applied to a liquid composition containing in a binder resin bubbles forming by expansion during baking.
  • the appearance obtained is not really that of droplets deposited on the surface of the object but rather bubbles included in the coating.
  • US 5,324,546 discloses spraying resin droplets onto the surface of the article and crosslinking it.
  • the appearance obtained is difficult to predict and reproduce from one article to another.
  • the object of the invention is to propose an article and its manufacturing method which comprises a reproducible coating in the form of droplets well formed in relief, and in which it is possible to control the size of the droplets so, for example, to choose a precise distribution of small or large droplets and obtain very characteristic visual effects.
  • the invention achieves its object by a method for manufacturing on a surface of an article a raised adherent coating imitating the appearance of liquid droplets, said method comprising applying a curable liquid material to the surface so as to to form on the surface scattered drops projections which are then hardened, characterized in that the application is carried out by direct report.
  • direct report we mean a transfer-printing type application: the liquid material is first contained in various reserves provided in a print medium, in a predetermined pattern that will be reproduced on the reverse surface of the article; the support is brought to the surface to be printed (or vice versa) and the liquid material goes directly from the reserves to the surface.
  • the print medium may be a rubber matrix of dimpled cups or a metal plate, but preferably, the application is by screen printing.
  • Screen printing techniques are well known in themselves and will not be described here.
  • the use of screen printing for obtaining decorations of cosmetic articles is also described in document EP 0 860 300.
  • the screen printing cloth is adapted to the desired effect: on the one hand, it favors a mesh size sufficient to allow rapid passage of the deposited material; on the other hand, the thickness of the photopolymer for forming the pattern printed by insolation is sufficiently large to form a reserve of material suitable for forming drops.
  • a surface is associated with a liquid material having with it a difference in surface tension giving rise to a low wetting.
  • the surface tension of the application product giving the drops is such, depending on the surface tension of the surface of the article, that we obtain the formation of a real drop, type "sphere" a little flattened (it forms a re-entrant angle with the surface on which it is deposited), and not a spread of the product on the surface.
  • the surface of the article metal or plastic
  • a varnish is usually covered, before the application of the droplets, a varnish.
  • silicones for example, to obtain the satisfactory torque.
  • the surface tension of the support varnish is lowered by addition of silicones, in order to have a difference in surface tension between this and the applied product of about 30%.
  • drops of different sizes are applied to the surface, and even more advantageously, they are applied in an orderly manner, for example increasing from the bottom to the top of an article such as a cap, and more or less vertically aligned. , so as to mimic the bubbles forming in a glass of champagne.
  • the droplet material After deposition, the droplet material is cured by air, heat or ultraviolet polymerization. The droplets form a marked relief on the surface of the article.
  • the droplet material is advantageously an adhesive or a varnish. They can be colored or not (crystal).
