Abstract

The film has a transparent protective layer and a decorative layer which results from superposition of two patterns (1, 2) printed successively on the protective layer. The pattern (1) printed on the protective layer is constituted by a non covering tint. A bottom layer (3) is constituted by a covering tint. The patterns printed successively are identical but oriented differently.

Description

L'invention concerne un film de revêtement pour une pièce en matière plastique et une pièce en matière plastique revêtue d'un tel film.The invention relates to a coating film for a plastic part and a plastic part coated with such a film.

L'invention s'applique en particulier au domaine des pièces en matière plastique pour l'industrie automobile, et notamment aux pièces esthétiques ayant une fonction décorative.The invention applies in particular to the field of plastic parts for the automotive industry, and in particular to aesthetic parts having a decorative function.

Un but de l'invention est de procurer un film de revêtement produisant un effet esthétique original, tout en étant simple et économique à réaliser.An object of the invention is to provide a coating film producing an original aesthetic effect, while being simple and economical to achieve.

FR-A-2 801 532 décrit un film selon le préamble de la revendication 1. FR-A-2 801 532 discloses a film according to the preamble of claim 1.

La présente invention a pour objet un film de revêtement pour pièce en matière plastique, comprenant une couche protectrice transparente et une couche de décoration, la couche de décoration résultant de la superposition d'au moins un premier et un second motifs imprimés successivement sur la couche protectrice, caractérisé en ce que le premier motif imprimé sur la couche protectrice est constitué par une teinte non couvrante.The present invention relates to a plastic part coating film, comprising a transparent protective layer and a decorative layer, the decorative layer resulting from the superposition of at least a first and a second pattern printed successively on the layer. protective device, characterized in that the first pattern printed on the protective layer is constituted by a non-covering hue.

Selon l'invention, «non couvrante» signifie que la teinte présente une opacité insuffisante pour masquer la ou les couches d'encre par-dessus lesquelles le motif est imprimé.According to the invention, "non-covering" means that the hue has insufficient opacity to mask the ink layer (s) over which the pattern is printed.

De cette manière, les motifs sous-jacents sont visibles, mais seulement si les conditions d'éclairage et l'angle de vue le permettent. C'est notamment l'angle de réflexion de la lumière sur le film qui conditionne la visibilité des motifs sous-jacents.In this way, the underlying patterns are visible, but only if the lighting conditions and viewing angle allow. It is in particular the angle of reflection of the light on the film which conditions the visibility of the underlying motifs.

Ainsi, si le film recouvre une pièce tridimensionnelle, en différents emplacements du film, apparaissent différents dessins, constitués seulement du premier motif, d'un autre motif, ou d'une combinaison des deux.Thus, if the film covers a three-dimensional part, at different locations of the film, different designs appear, consisting only of the first pattern, another pattern, or a combination of both.

De préférence, tous les motifs imprimés successivement sur la couche protectrice sont constitués par des teintes non couvrantes.Preferably, all the patterns printed successively on the protective layer are constituted by non-covering hues.

Dans ce cas, la superposition des teintes aux emplacements des motifs coïncidant avec deux motifs différents accroît localement l'opacité de la teinte résultante et fournit une autre variante d'effet visuel, qui apparaît elle aussi plus au moins nettement selon les conditions d'éclairage et d'observation.In this case, the superimposition of the hues at the locations of the patterns coinciding with two different patterns locally increases the opacity of the resulting hue and provides another variant of the visual effect, which also appears more or less clearly according to the lighting conditions. and observation.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le film comporte une couche de fond constituée par une teinte couvrante, éventuellement métallisée. Cette couche permet d'augmenter le contraste entre les zones d'ombre et de lumière et ainsi de faire varier le contraste entre la couche de fond et les motifs.In a particular embodiment, the film comprises a base layer consisting of a covering color, optionally metallized. This layer makes it possible to increase the contrast between the shadow and light zones and thus to vary the contrast between the base layer and the patterns.

De façon plus générale, il est avantageux que l'une au moins des teintes soit métallisée, et de préférence toutes en raison du meilleur rendu visuel obtenu.More generally, it is advantageous that at least one of the colors is metallized, and preferably all because of the best visual result obtained.

Pour faire apparaître ou disparaître l'un ou l'autre des motifs en fonction des conditions d'éclairage et d'observation, l'invention propose, selon un autre mode de réalisation, d'utiliser des teintes qui forment un camaïeu avec une autre teinte, par exemple avec la teinte de fond.In order to make appear or disappear one or the other of the patterns according to the lighting and observation conditions, the invention proposes, according to another mode of realization, to use hues that form a shades with another hue, for example with the background hue.

L'invention a également pour objet une pièce en matière plastique revêtue d'un film tel que décrit ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a plastic part coated with a film as described above.

Afin de faciliter la compréhension de l'invention, on va maintenant en décrire un exemple de réalisation, non limitatif de la portée de l'invention, à l'aide des dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une représentation schématique du principe de combinaison des motifs superposés d'un film selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 fournit un exemple du rendu visuel global obtenu ;
  • la figure 3 est analogue à la figure 1 et correspond à un film muni d'une couche de protection et porté par un substrat, selon un autre mode de réalisation ;
  • la figure 4 représente schématiquement différentes zones de luminosité du film mis en volume ;
  • la figure 5 fournit une représentation schématique de la combinaison des motifs, obtenue dans les différentes zones de luminosité, pour des motifs réalisés avec des teintes non couvrantes identiques ;
  • la figure 6 fournit un exemple de l'effet visuel global obtenu suivant un angle de vue et une incidence de lumière donnés ;
  • la figure 7 est analogue à la figure 5, pour des motifs réalisés avec des teintes couvrantes formant un camaïeu;
  • la figure 8 fournit un exemple de l'effet visuel global obtenu suivant un angle de vue et une incidence de lumière donnés.
In order to facilitate the understanding of the invention, an embodiment of the scope of the invention will now be described, with the aid of the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the principle of combining the superimposed patterns of a film according to one embodiment of the invention;
  • Figure 2 provides an example of the overall visual result obtained;
  • Figure 3 is similar to Figure 1 and corresponds to a film provided with a protective layer and carried by a substrate, according to another embodiment;
  • FIG. 4 schematically represents different areas of brightness of the film placed in volume;
  • Figure 5 provides a schematic representation of the combination of patterns, obtained in the different brightness areas, for patterns made with identical non-covering hues;
  • Figure 6 provides an example of the overall visual effect obtained at a given angle of view and incidence of light;
  • Figure 7 is similar to Figure 5, for patterns made with shades shades forming a shades;
  • Figure 8 provides an example of the overall visual effect obtained at a given angle of view and incidence of light.

Sur la figure 1, on a représenté schématiquement deux motifs 1, 2 superposés à un fond métallisé 3. Chaque motif est constitué par un ensemble de taches toutes identiques, de forme pseudo ovale.FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows two patterns 1, 2 superimposed on a metallised background 3. Each pattern consists of a set of identical spots of pseudo-oval shape.

Pour chaque motif, les taches sont orientées identiquement et sont réparties aux noeuds d'un réseau régulier à maille carrée.For each pattern, the spots are oriented identically and are distributed at the nodes of a regular network with square mesh.

La direction longitudinale des taches dans le motif n°1 est différente de la direction longitudinale des taches dans le motif n° 2.The longitudinal direction of the spots in Pattern No. 1 is different from the longitudinal direction of the spots in Pattern No. 2.

Les deux motifs sont superposés, comme représenté à la figure 1, mais le positionnement exact d'un motif par rapport à l'autre est indifférent.The two patterns are superimposed, as shown in Figure 1, but the exact positioning of one pattern relative to the other is irrelevant.

La combinaison des deux motifs est représentée à la figure 1. Dans cet exemple où les teintes des deux motifs sont opaques, les taches des deux motifs masquent le fond métallisé, dont la luminosité provenant de la réflexion de la lumière crée une variation de contraste entre le fond et les motifs. En d'autres termes, le contraste lumineux entre les zones d'ombre et les zones de lumière est plus important pour le fond que pour les motifs.The combination of the two patterns is shown in Figure 1. In this example where the shades of the two patterns are opaque, the spots of the two patterns obscure the metallic background, whose brightness from the reflection of light creates a variation of contrast between the background and the grounds. In other words, the luminous contrast between the shadows and the light zones is more important for the background than for the patterns.

Une caractéristique intéressante de la combinaison des deux motifs est que quel que soit le positionnement relatif de ces derniers, on obtient un dessin régulier, comme on le voit sur la figure 2.An interesting feature of the combination of the two patterns is that regardless of the relative positioning of the latter, a regular pattern is obtained, as seen in FIG.

La régularité du dessin laisse croire que cette combinaison est prédéterminée, alors qu'elle n'est que le résultat du positionnement aléatoire des deux motifs l'un par rapport à l'autre.The regularity of the drawing suggests that this combination is predetermined, while it is only the result of the random positioning of the two patterns relative to each other.

Sur la figure 3, on a représenté non seulement le fond métallisé 3 et les deux motifs 1, 2 précédemment décrits, mais également un substrat 4 et une couche de protection transparente 5 qui protège le film.FIG. 3 shows not only the metallised bottom 3 and the two previously described units 1, 2, but also a substrate 4 and a transparent protective layer 5 which protects the film.

D'un point de vue pratique, cette couche de protection transparente est une couche de matière plastique transparente sur laquelle on imprime successivement les deux motifs, puis le fond. La couche transparente imprimée et le substrat sont ensuite réunis par tout moyen approprié.From a practical point of view, this transparent protective layer is a layer of transparent plastic material on which the two patterns are printed successively, then the bottom. The printed transparent layer and the substrate are then joined by any suitable means.

La figure 4 montre différentes zones de luminosité du fond métallisé 3.FIG. 4 shows different areas of brightness of the metallised background 3.

En fonction de la position d'une source lumineuse 6 et du point d'observation 7, les rayons lumineux réfléchis par le fond métallisé confèrent une luminosité variable au fond métallisé. Cette luminosité variable peut être divisée en trois zones, à savoir une zone 8, dans laquelle la réflexion est directe, une zone 9 contiguë à la zone 8 dans laquelle la réflexion est indirecte et une zone 10, éloignée de la zone 8, dans laquelle la réflexion est presque nulle.Depending on the position of a light source 6 and the observation point 7, the light rays reflected by the metallized background give a variable brightness to the metallized background. This variable brightness can be divided into three zones, namely an area 8, in which the reflection is direct, a zone 9 contiguous to the zone 8 in which the reflection is indirect and a zone 10, remote from the zone 8, in which the reflection is almost nil.

La figure 5 représente le résultat de la combinaison des motifs et de la luminosité du fond, dans chacune des zones 8, 9 et 10, de deux motifs 11, 12 identiques en réseau à maille carrée, dont les taches n'ont pas la même orientation les unes par rapport aux autres.FIG. 5 represents the result of the combination of the patterns and the brightness of the background, in each of the zones 8, 9 and 10, of two identical motifs 11, 12 in a square mesh pattern whose spots do not have the same orientation to each other.

La zone 8 de réflexion directe fournit un éclairage maximum. Le contraste y est très marqué entre le fond métallisé et les taches des motifs qui, bien que non opaques, apparaissent comme opaques, de sorte que l'effet esthétique rendu est similaire à celui de la figure 2, les taches apparaissant comme opaques.The forward reflection zone 8 provides maximum illumination. The contrast is very marked between the metallic background and the spots of the patterns which, although not opaque, appear as opaque, so that the aesthetic effect rendered is similar to that of Figure 2, the spots appearing as opaque.

Dans la zone 9 de réflexion indirecte, qui bénéficie d'un moindre éclairage, seules les régions dans lesquelles les taches sont superposées apparaissent comme opaques, les autres étant d'un niveau de luminosité proche du fond métallisé et se confondant avec lui. Le motif en résultant a un rendu visuel global sensiblement différent de celui de la zone 8.In the area 9 of indirect reflection, which has less lighting, only the regions in which the spots are superimposed appear opaque, the others being of a level of luminosity near the metallized background and merging with it. The resulting pattern has an overall visual rendering substantially different from that of area 8.

Dans la zone 10, la luminosité de la couche de fond métallisée est faible. Les taches masquent la couche de base, à l'exception des emplacements où elles sont superposées et où leur caractère réfléchissant est similaire à celui de la couche de fond. Il en résulte un dessin qui est le complémentaire du dessin obtenu en zone 9.In zone 10, the brightness of the metallized basecoat is low. The spots mask the base layer, except where they are superimposed and where their reflectivity is similar to that of the basecoat. The result is a drawing that is complementary to the drawing obtained in zone 9.

Ce dessin fournit un effet visuel global qui est mieux visible sur la figure 6, dans laquelle une première région, située à gauche sur la figure, ne représente que le premier motif 11, une deuxième région, située à droite sur la figure, ne représente que le deuxième motif et la région centrale correspond à la combinaison des deux motifs, vus dans la zone 9.This drawing provides an overall visual effect which is best seen in FIG. 6, in which a first region on the left in the figure represents only the first pattern 11, a second region on the right in the figure does not represent that the second motif and the central region correspond to the combination of the two motifs, seen in zone 9.

Sur la figure 7, on a représenté, de façon analogue à la figure 5, les combinaisons des motifs 11 et 12 dans le cas où les teintes utilisées forment un camaïeu, c'est-à-dire que ces teintes sont obtenues avec une seule couleur mais avec des tons différents.FIG. 7 shows, in a similar manner to FIG. 5, the combinations of patterns 11 and 12 in the case where the shades used form a shades, that is to say that these shades are obtained with a single color but with different tones.

La teinte de la couche de fond peut être fournie par le substrat, sans impression supplémentaire par dessus les motifs imprimés sur la couche de protection. Cette possibilité existe également pour des motifs de teintes identiques.The hue of the primer can be provided by the substrate, without further printing over the printed patterns on the protective layer. This possibility also exists for patterns of identical hues.

Dans ce cas, la zone 8', à forte luminosité de la couche de fond, rend un effet similaire à celui de la zone 8 de la figure 5.In this case, the high-brightness area 8 'of the bottom layer gives an effect similar to that of area 8 of FIG.

En revanche, la zone 9' ne laisse apparaître que le premier motif 11, tandis que la zone 10' laisse apparaître le deuxième motif 12 dans les régions où il n'est pas superposé au premier motif 11.On the other hand, zone 9 'reveals only the first pattern 11, whereas zone 10' reveals second pattern 12 in regions where it is not superimposed on first pattern 11.

L'effet visuel global obtenu est visible sur la figure 8, qui est analogue à la figure 6.The overall visual effect obtained is visible in FIG. 8, which is similar to FIG.

On voit que, grâce à l'invention, l'effet esthétique obtenu pour une pièce en matière plastique tridimensionnelle varie en fonction de l'angle sous lequel on l'observe.It can be seen that, thanks to the invention, the aesthetic effect obtained for a three-dimensional plastic part varies according to the angle at which it is observed.

Cette caractéristique esthétique originale peut être obtenue par des moyens simples, grâce à l'invention.This original aesthetic characteristic can be obtained by simple means, thanks to the invention.
