Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Vorbereitung von Leder für das Aufkleben von Steinen, insbesondere von facettiertem Glas mit flacher Rückseite.The invention relates to a process for the preparation of leather for bonding stones, in particular faceted glass with a flat back.

Leder ist ein Naturprodukt, in dem sich mehrere Schichten miteinander verbundener Fasern unterscheiden lassen. Von der Außenseite folgt auf die porige Narbe die Papillarschicht mit normal zur Oberfläche verlaufenden Fasern, daran schließt die parallel zur Oberfläche orientierte Vertikularschicht, welche bei der Herstellung von Spaltleder geteilt wird. Im verarbeiteten Zustand befindet sich auf der Außenseite des Leders die sogenannte Zurichtung, eine wasserdichte Schicht, welche dadurch zustande kommt, dass das Leder geschliffen, geprägt und mit verschiedenen chemischen Substanzen behandelt wird.Leather is a natural product in which several layers of interconnected fibers can be distinguished. From the outside follows on the porous scar the papillary layer with normal to the surface running fibers, this is followed by the oriented parallel to the surface Vertikularschicht, which is divided in the production of split leather. In the processed state is on the outside of the leather so-called dressing, a waterproof layer, which is due to the fact that the leather is sanded, embossed and treated with various chemical substances.

Es ist bekannt, dass die zugerichtete Narbenseite des Leders für eine Verklebung vorbereitet werden muss, da sich ein auf die Zurichtung aufgeklebtes Material samt dieser ablösen würde. Sollen zwei Lederstücke miteinander verklebt werden, wird also zunächst die Zurichtung abgeschliffen.It is known that the dressed grain side of the leather has to be prepared for bonding, since a material glued to the finish would come off along with it. If two pieces of leather are to be glued together, the finish is first sanded off.

Es ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden (vergleiche US 2002/0117258 A1) Glassteine mit Leder zu verbinden, indem die Steine, deren Rückseite mit einem Schmelzkleber versehen ist, unter Anwendung von Ultraschall durch die Zurichtung gedrückt werden. Dabei wird diese Schicht zerstört und die überwiegend am seitlichen Rand vom Leder gehaltenen Steine fallen mitunter ab, sobald das Leder über Leisten gezogen wird.It has already been proposed (compare US 2002/0117258 A1) to connect glass blocks with leather by the stones, the back side is provided with a hot melt adhesive, are pressed through the dressing using ultrasound. This layer is destroyed and the mainly held on the side edge of the leather stones fall off sometimes, as soon as the leather is pulled over bars.

Die Erfindung vermeidet diesen Nachteil dadurch, dass in dem zum Aufkleben eines Steines bestimmten Bereich des Leders mehrere ins Innere des Leders führende längliche Bohrungen angebracht werden.The invention avoids this disadvantage in that a plurality of leading into the interior of the leather elongated holes are mounted in the designated area for adhering a stone of the leather.

Diese Maßnahme berücksichtigt, dass ein lediglich mit der Zurichtung verklebter Stein zusammen mit dieser abgerissen werden kann, bewirkt aber andererseits, dass im Bereich unterhalb des Steines die Zurichtungsschicht als zusammenhängendes Gitter erhalten bleibt.This measure takes into account that a stone adhered only to the dressing can be demolished together with it, but on the other hand causes the dressing layer to be retained as a coherent grid in the area below the stone.

Zweckmäßigerweise werden die vorgesehenen Bohrungen lediglich in jenen Teilbereichen des Leders angebracht, welche später durch Steine abgedeckt werden sollen. Für einen Stein üblicher Größe, beispielsweise mit einem Durchmesser von 7 mm, haben sich 5 - 10 Bohrungen bewährt, welche durch einen mit Nadeln versehenen Stempel in einem einheitlichen Vorgang angebracht werden.
Sollen mehrere Steine nach einem vorbestimmten Muster aufgetragen werden, so kann die Information über dieses Muster einer Steuerungseinrichtung zugeführt werden, welche einen Plotter mit dem daran befestigten Nadelstempel an jene Stellen führt, welche später durch Steine abgedeckt werden sollen. Das Zuführen der Steine kann dann einzeln erfolgen, noch besser aber mittels einer Transferfolie, welche die mit Schmelzkleber beschichteten Steine bereits den vorbehandelten Befestigungsstellen richtig zuordnet. Die Aktivierung des Schmelzklebers kann in üblicher Weise durch Zuführung von Hitze und Druck (auch unter Verwendung von Ultraschall) erfolgen.Conveniently, the holes provided are only in those portions of the leather attached, which are to be covered later by stones. For a stone of usual size, for example, with a diameter of 7 mm, have 5 - 10 Proven holes, which are attached by a needled punch in a single operation.
If several stones are to be applied according to a predetermined pattern, the information about this pattern can be fed to a control device, which guides a plotter with the needle punch attached thereto to those points which are later to be covered by stones. The feeding of the stones can then be done individually, but even better by means of a transfer film, which assigns the hot-melt coated stones correctly to the pretreated attachment points. The activation of the hot-melt adhesive can be carried out in a customary manner by applying heat and pressure (also using ultrasound).

Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden anschließend an Hand der Zeichnung erörtert. In dieser ist

  • Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht von mit einem Stein verklebtem erfindungsgemäß vorbereitetem Leder,
  • Fig. 2 ein Vertikalschnitt nach der Linie A-A,
  • Fig. 3 die dazugehörige Draufsicht.
Further details of the invention will be discussed below with reference to the drawings. In this is
  • 1 is a side view of glued with a stone inventively prepared leather,
  • 2 is a vertical section along the line AA,
  • Fig. 3, the associated plan view.

Wie dargelegt, besteht die Erfindung in einem Verfahren zum Aufbringen von Steinen 1 auf ein Leder 2. Die Steine 1 können insbesondere aus facettiertem Glas bestehen und eine ebene Rückseite aufweisen. Diese sogenannten Rosen werden derzeit in großer Zahl einzeln oder in Form von Mustern, insbesondere auf textile Unterlagen, aufgebracht. Die Verbindung von Stein und Unterlage erfolgt über einen Schmelzkleber, welcher durch Bügeln aktiviert wird.As stated, the invention consists in a method for applying stones 1 to a leather 2. The stones 1 may in particular consist of faceted glass and have a flat back. These so-called roses are currently applied in large numbers individually or in the form of patterns, in particular on textile substrates. The connection of stone and base is made by a hot melt adhesive, which is activated by ironing.

Die Aufbringung solcher Steine auf Leder ist dadurch erschwert, dass die Grundschicht 4 des Leders mit der diese nach außen begrenzenden Zurichtung 3 nicht hinreichend stark verbunden ist. Bei größeren Beanspruchungen ist es möglich, dass der Stein 1 samt der Zurichtung 3 von der Grundschicht 4 abgerissen wird.The application of such stones to leather is made more difficult by the fact that the base layer 4 of the leather is not sufficiently strongly connected to the finishing 3 which limits this outward direction. For larger loads, it is possible that the stone 1 including dressing 3 is torn off from the base layer 4.

Aus Fig. 2 geht hervor, wie ein Abreißen der Zurichtung 3 von der Grundschicht 4 vermieden werden kann: In jenem Bereich des Leders 2, welcher von einem Stein 1 abgedeckt werden soll, bringt man zunächst Bohrungen 6 an. Diese können wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, die gesamte Dicke des Leders durchdringen. Im Allgemeinen genügt es jedoch für eine sichere Verankerung, dass zumindest die äußerste Schicht des Leders, die sogenannte Narbenschicht, durchdrungen wird und die Bohrungen 6 unterhalb derselben enden.From Fig. 2 shows how a tearing off of dressing 3 can be avoided by the base layer 4: In that area of the leather 2, which is to be covered by a stone 1, you bring first holes 6 at. These can, as shown in Fig. 2, penetrate the entire thickness of the leather. In general, however, it is sufficient for a safe Anchoring that at least the outermost layer of the leather, the so-called scar layer, is penetrated and the holes 6 terminate below the same.

Alle einem Stein 1 zugeordneten Bohrungen 6 können mit einem einzigen mit Nadeln bestückten Stempel gleichzeitig eingepresst werden. Befestigt man diesen Stempel an einem Plotter, so kann der Stempel an beliebige Stellen oberhalb der Oberfläche des Leders geführt werden. Dies ist besonders dann zweckmäßig, wenn mehrere Steine bereits in Form eines Musters, auf einer Transferfolie angeordnet, zur Verfügung stehen und somit in einem einheitlichen Vorgang auf die gelochten Bereiche des Leders aufgebracht werden können.All of a stone 1 associated holes 6 can be pressed simultaneously with a single equipped with needles stamp. Attaching this stamp on a plotter, the stamp can be performed at any point above the surface of the leather. This is particularly useful when several stones are already available in the form of a pattern, arranged on a transfer film, and thus can be applied in a uniform process on the perforated areas of the leather.

Aktiviert man den an der Rückseite der Steine 1 angeordneten Schmelzkleber 5, fließt dieser, wie in Fig. 2 schematisch dargestellt, in die Bohrungen 6 und verankert damit den Stein 1 in der Grundschicht 4 des Leders. Gleichzeitig ruht der Stein 1 auf den netzartig zusammenhängenden zwischen den Bohrungen 6 verbleibenden Teilen der Zurichtung 3 auf.Activating the hot melt adhesive 5 arranged on the rear side of the stones 1, flows, as shown schematically in FIG. 2, into the bores 6 and thus anchors the stone 1 in the base layer 4 of the leather. At the same time the stone 1 rests on the web-like contiguous between the holes 6 remaining parts of the dressing 3.
