Aus der nachveröffentlichten EP-A-1 147 924 ist eine Verschlusskappe aus Kunststoff (ABS) bekannt, auf welcher nacheinander eine Nickelschicht, eine Kupferschicht und eine Chromschicht elektrolytisch aufgebracht werden. Mittels des Lasers wird entweder die oberste Chromschicht abgetragen oder es werden die Chromschicht und die Kupferschicht abgetragen. Ein Lacküberzug wird nicht offenbart. Die EP-A-0 947 352 offenbart ein Verfahren zum Bedrucken eines Verschlusses und zum Herstellen eines zum Laserbedrucken geeigneten Verschlusses.From the post-published EP-A-1 147 924 is one Closure cap made of plastic (ABS) known on which successively a nickel layer, a copper layer and one Chrome layer can be applied electrolytically. By means of the Lasers either remove the top chrome layer or the chrome layer and the copper layer are removed. A varnish coating is not disclosed. EP-A-0 947 352 discloses a method of printing a closure and to produce a suitable for laser printing Closure.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verschlusskappe sowie ein Verfahren zur.Herstellung einer' derartigen Verschlusskappe bereitzustellen, bei der die Umwelt weniger belastet wird, die Umrüstzeit auf ein Minimum reduziert wird und die Herstellung zudem noch preiswerter ist. The invention has for its object a Sealing cap and a method for the production of a provide such a cap, in which the Environment is less polluted, the changeover time to a minimum is reduced and the production is also cheaper is.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren gelöst, das die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.This problem is solved in a process that the Features of claim 1.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren trägt die Kappenoberseite der Verschlusskappe einen Lacküberzug; der mittels eines Lasers teilweise abgetragen wird, so dass nicht nur der Lacküberzug sondern auch ein Teil des Werkstoffes, aus welchem die Verschlusskappe hergestellt ist, sichtbar sind. Auf diese Weise kann durch entsprechendes Abtragen eines Teils des Lacküberzuges ein Dekor erzeugt werden. Dieses Dekor wird entweder von einem Bild oder von einem Schriftzug gebildet. Von der Herstellung eines derartigen Dekors ist die Markierung eines Gegenstandes mittels eines Lasers zu unterscheiden, da bei der Markierung. ein hochenergetischer Laserstrahl für extrem kurze Zeit durch eine Maske hindurch auf den zu markierenden Gegenstand abgestrahlt wird. Über die Maske wird die zu markierende Information bestimmt. Mittels des Laserstrahls selbst wird also die Information bzw. das Bild nicht erzeugt, sondern mittels der Maske. Beim Dekorieren eines Gegenstandes wird keine Maske verwendet, sondern der Laserstrahl erzeugt den Bildaufbau.In the method according to the invention, the top of the cap bears the cap has a varnish coating; which by means of a Laser is partially removed, so that not only the Lacquer coating but also part of the material which the cap is made are visible. In this way, a corresponding Part of the lacquer coating a decor can be created. This Decor is either from an image or from a lettering educated. From the production of such a decor is the Mark an object using a laser distinguish because of the marking. a high energy Laser beam through a mask for an extremely short time is emitted onto the object to be marked. About the Mask, the information to be marked is determined. through the laser beam itself becomes the information or the Image not created, but using the mask. At the No mask is used to decorate an object, rather the laser beam creates the image structure.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren werden keine Lösemittel und Druckklischees, Fotolacke und Ätzmittel für die Dekorierung benötigt, weshalb die Umweltbelastung gravierend verringert wird. Außerdem ist ein Umrüsten vom einen Druckbild auf ein anderes jederzeit und problemlos sowie ohne Stillstand der Produktionsanlage möglich. Die Umrüstung erfolgt seitens der Software, welche den Laser ansteuert. Dies bedeutet, dass die Verschlusskappen sogar im Random-Verfahren (Personalisierung) bearbeitet werden können.With the method according to the invention, no solvents are used and printing plates, photoresists and etchants for the Decoration is required, which is why the environmental impact is serious is reduced. There is also a changeover from one Print image on another at any time and without problems and without The production plant can come to a standstill. The conversion is done by the software that controls the laser. This means that the caps are even random (Personalization) can be edited.

Ein besonders bevorzugtes Einsatzgebiet sind Schraubverschlusskappen für Getränkeflaschen, welche auf der Oberseite in der Regel den Markennamen des Getränkeherstellers tragen. Screw caps are a particularly preferred area of application for beverage bottles, which are on the top usually carry the brand name of the beverage manufacturer.

Bei einer Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass auf der Kappenoberseite mehrere Lacküberzüge übereinander und/oder nebeneinander aufgetragen sind. Auf diese Weise kann problemlos ein mehrfarbiges Dekor erzeugt werden, indem ein entsprechend mehr oder weniger großer Teil des einen oder anderen Lacküberzuges abgetragen wird. Bei übereinander aufgetragenen Lackschichten können diese teilweise oder 'aber auch vollständig abgetragen werden. Im einen Fall kommt eine darunter liegende Lackschicht zum Vorschein, im anderen Fall wird der Grundwerkstoff der Verschlusskappe sichtbar.In a further training it is provided that on the Several lacquer coatings on top of each other and / or are applied side by side. That way A multicolor decor can be easily created by using a correspondingly more or less large part of one or other paint coating is removed. With each other applied layers of paint can partially or 'but also be completely removed. In one case, one comes the paint layer underneath appears, in the other case the base material of the cap is visible.

Mit Vorzug ist bei übereinander aufgetragenen Lackschichten zwischen diesen eine Trennschicht vorgesehen. Diese Trennschicht ist bevorzugt farblos und durchsichtig, was den Vorteil hat, dass die darunter liegende Lackschicht geschützt wird, wenn lediglich die darüber liegende Lackschicht abgetragen wird. Sollte die darüber liegende Lackschicht eine schwankende Schichtdicke aufweisen, dann dient die Trennschicht quasi als Puffer, so dass die darunter liegende Lackschicht vom Laserstrahl nicht angegriffen wird.It is preferable for layers of lacquer applied on top of each other a separation layer is provided between them. This Separating layer is preferably colorless and transparent, which the The advantage is that the paint layer underneath is protected if only the overlying paint layer is removed. If the paint layer above is a have fluctuating layer thickness, then the Separation layer quasi as a buffer, so that the underlying one Lacquer layer is not attacked by the laser beam.

Bei einer bevorzugten Variante weisen die Lackschicht und/oder eine Trennschicht'ihr eigene Abtragungsparameter auf. Mittels moderner Lasern können.aufgrund der verschiedenen Abtragungsparameter lediglich die gewünschten, abzutragenden Farbschichten abgetragen werden. Nicht abzutragende Farbschichten verbleiben aufgrund ihres oder ihrer anderen Abtragungsparameter auf der Oberseite der Verschlusskappe. So kann z.B. der eine Lack empfindlich für Licht der einen Wellenlänge und der andere Lack empfindlich für Licht der anderen Wellenlänge sein.In a preferred variant, the lacquer layer and / or a separation layer your own removal parameters on. Using modern lasers various removal parameters only the desired layers of paint to be removed. Not Color layers to be removed remain due to their or their other ablation parameters on top of the Cap. For example, the one varnish sensitive to Light of one wavelength and the other varnish sensitive for light of the other wavelength.

Bevorzugterweise besitzen die Lackschicht und/oder die Trennschicht eine definierte Dicke. Dann kann der Laserstrahl bzw. dessen Energie auf diese Dicke eingestellt werden, so dass lediglich diese Lackschicht entfernt wird. Das unterhalb dieser Lackschicht sich befindende Material wird vom Laserstrahl dann nicht beeinflusst.The lacquer layer and / or preferably have Interface a defined thickness. Then the laser beam can or its energy are adjusted to this thickness, so that only this layer of paint is removed. That below this layer of paint is from the Then laser beam is not affected.

Mit Vorzug ist die Lackschicht und/oder die Trennschicht durch einen Lackiervorgang, durch Aufdrucken, durch Aufkleben oder durch Aufsprühen aufgebracht. Auch ein Tauchvorgang ist möglich. Für diese Art des Auftrags sind keine Klischees erforderlich, da das zu erzeugende Druckbild erst später mittels des Lasers erzeugt wird. Es muss lediglich der Überzug auf die Kappenoberfläche aufgebracht werden.The lacquer layer and / or the separating layer is preferred through a painting process, by printing, by gluing or applied by spraying. There is also a diving process possible. There are no clichés for this type of order required, because the print image to be created later is generated by means of the laser. It just has to Coating can be applied to the cap surface.

Vorteilhaft ist die Lackschicht farbig. Auf diese Weise können nicht nur Schwarz/Weiß-Bilder sondern auch Farbbilder erzeugt werden.The lacquer layer is advantageously colored. In this way can not only black and white images but also color images be generated.

Bei einem besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Verschlusskappe aus einem oder mehreren unterschiedlichen oder unterschiedlich farbigen Kunststoffen hergestellt. Auf diese Weise kann ein mehrfarbiger Druck sogar mit einer einzigen Lackschicht erzeugt werden.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the Cap made of one or more different or different colored plastics. On this way a multicolor print can even be made with a single layer of paint can be generated.

Erfindungsgemäß wird mittels eines Lasers ein Teil des Lackes so weit und derart abgetragen, dass der unter der Lackschicht liegende Werkstoff sichtbar wird und ein Dekor entsteht.According to the invention, part of the paint is applied by means of a laser so far and so worn away that the under the paint layer lying material becomes visible and a decor is created.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird also das Druckbild nicht mit einem Druckverfahren erzeugt sondern mittels eines Lasers, wobei der Laser mittels des Laserstrahl einen Teil einer zuvor aufgebrachten Lackschicht entfernt.With the method according to the invention, the printed image becomes not created with a printing process but with a Laser, the laser by means of the laser beam a part a previously applied layer of paint removed.

Mit diesem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren werden ebenfalls die eingangs erwähnten Vorteile erzielt, d.h. die Umwelt wird weniger stark belastet, da weniger Abfälle zu entsorgen sind,. die Umrüstzeit vom einen Druckbild auf ein anderes Druckbild wird drastisch reduziert und die Kosten für die Herstellung derartiger Verschlüsse wird vermindert. With this method according to the invention, the achieved at the outset, i.e. the environment will less burdened because less waste has to be disposed of. the changeover time from one print image to another print image is drastically reduced and the cost of manufacturing such closures are reduced.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des Verfahrens werden mehrere Lackschichten übereinander und/oder nebeneinander auf die Oberseite der Verschlusskappe aufgetragen. Durch dieses Verfahren können auf einfache und preiswerte Weise mehrfarbige Druckbilder erzeugt werden, ohne dass hierfür mehrere Klischees verwendet werden müssen.According to a preferred development of the method several layers of paint on top of each other and / or side by side applied the top of the cap. Because of this Procedures can be done easily and inexpensively multicolored print images are generated without this multiple clichés must be used.

Eine Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sieht vor, dass mittels des Lasers die oberste Lackschicht bis zu einer darunter liegenden Lackschicht oder bis zum Kunststoff des Werkstücks abgetragen wird. Auf diese Weise können ebenfalls mehrfarbige Druckbilder erzeugt werden, indem der Laserstrahl mehr oder weniger weit in die mehreren Lackschichten eindringt und Teile einer oder mehrerer Lackschichten entfernt.A further development of the method according to the invention provides before that by means of the laser the top coat of paint up to an underlying layer of lacquer or up to the plastic of the workpiece is removed. That way you can multicolored print images are also generated by the Laser beam more or less far into the several Lacquer layers penetrate and parts of one or more Paint layers removed.

Mit Vorzug wird das Abtragen der Lackschichten punktförmig oder linienförmig oder flächig durchgeführt. Auf diese Weise können je nach Anforderung hohe Abtragsraten erzielt' werden .oder es kann eine gezielte, präzise Abtragung durchgeführt werden.The removal of the lacquer layers is preferably punctiform or carried out in a linear or flat manner. In this way high removal rates can be achieved depending on the requirement .or targeted, precise removal can be carried out become.

Zusammenfassend kann festgestellt werden, dass das erfindungsgemäße Herstellungsverfahren für die Verschlusskappe die Umwelt schont und dass die Umstellung auf ein neues Druckbild schnell und einfach erfolgen kann und dass mit dem Verfahren derartige erfindungsgemäße Kappen preiswerter hergestellt werden können.In summary, it can be said that the Manufacturing method according to the invention for the Cap protects the environment and that the changeover to a new print image can be made quickly and easily and that with the method such caps according to the invention can be manufactured cheaper.
