Description

PROCEDE DE DECORATION D'UN ARTICLE ET FEUILLE POUR REALISER CE TRANSFERT. METHOD FOR DECORATING AN ARTICLE AND SHEET FOR PERFORMING THIS TRANSFER.
La présente invention concerne la décoration d'articles par le transfert d'encres thermoactivables , notamment sublimables . Le principe général est connu par plusieurs brevets de l'art antérieur, et en particulier de brevets déposés par le breveté . Les brevets US5665458, US4314813 et DE19709496 décrivant des procédés de transfert par contact, selon une technique se rapprochant de celle d'un tampon. Un substrat porte des fibres flaquées pour retenir une encre à transférer sur une surface à décorer. Cette solution n'est pas satisfaisante car elle ne permet pas de décorer des surfaces gauches et nécessite l'application d'une pression à l'aide d'une matrice épousant le profil de la surface à décorer. L'objet de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients des solutions de l'art antérieur en proposant un procédé, et des feuilles de transfert améliorés. A cet effet, l'invention concerne selon son acception la plus générale un de décoration d'un article comportant une étape de préparation d'une feuille de transfert par impression avec au moins une encre thermoactivable, une étape de transfert par application de ladite feuille sur l'article à décorer, et par chauffage de cet ensemble caractérisé en ce que ladite feuille de transfert est constituée en un matériau floqué et une étape de transfert où la feuille de transfert forme autour de l'article à décorer une enveloppe ëtanche raccordée à une source de dépression. La feuille de transfert pour la mise en œuvre du procédé est notamment constituée : - en un élastomère floqué - en latex naturel floqué - en latex de synthèse floqué - par une feuille de polyisoprène naturel floqué. Les flocs sont constitués : - de fibres de coton - de fibres de viscose - de fibres de polyamide - de fibres acryliques - de fibres polyester. L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit, concernant des exemples non limitatifs de mise en œuvre. La décoration d'un article nécessite une succession d'opération. La première consiste à préparer un support de transfert vierge. Le support de transfert est un élastomère, résistant aux températures requises pour la sublimation de l'encre. Il s'agit d'une feuille de latex naturel ou de synthèse (Néoprène, Nitrile) ou PVC (polychlorure de vinyle) ou Vinyle. Ces composants peuvent êtres mixés pour en optimiser la résistance . Elle peut aussi être constituée par un polymère de synthèse dont la vulcanisation lui confère des caractéristiques similaires à celles du latex naturel, et résultant de la combinaison de plusieurs monomères : 1 ' acrylonitrile, le butadiène et éventuellement l'acide carboxylique avec l'oxyde de zinc. Elle peut aussi être constituée par un élastomère haute performance de synthèse obtenu par polymérisation d'un composé chloré, le polychloroprène . Cette membrane est floquée par un procédé consistant à déposer un film de colle à la surface de la membrane et à déposer ensuite sur la surface encollée des fibres textiles courtes . Le film ainsi préparé permet l'impression avec une encre sublimable, par un procédé d'impression classique de l'image à transfert, tel que l'héliogravure, la sérigraphie ou simplement l'impression par une imprimante à jet d'encre. L'image, numérisée et traitée par un ordinateur, est imprimée avec une encre spéciale sublimable sur une imprimante jet d'encre professionnelle ou tout équipement d'impression ad hoc . Les encres sublimables sont constituées généralement de molécules de tailles et de masses modestes, avec un compromis entre l'existence de doubles liaisons conjuguées et de cycles conjugués permettant aux molécules d'être colorées et la minoration des masses moléculaires pour que les molécules soient compatibles avec la sublimation. Il est également envisageable d'utiliser pour l'impression de la feuille de transfert des encres à changement de phase et plus particulièrement les encres thermofusibles. La feuille de transfert imprimée est ensuite appliquée sur l'article à décorer. Préférentiellement , elle entoure l'article de façon étanche pour former une enveloppe étanche à l'intérieur de laquelle on fait le vide. La feuille enveloppant l'article à décorer est relié à cet effet par un tube à une pompe à vide ou une source de dépression, pour assurer le plaquage de la surface imprimée contre la surface de l'article à décorer. Les fibres de flocage forment une cavité poreuse permettant le passage de l'air lors de la mise en dépression. L'absence de structuration du flocage évite le marquage de l'article avec une trame, comme cela se produit dans l'art antérieur. On procède ensuite à un chauffage à une température et une durée compatible requise pour le transfert de l'encre thermoactivable. En l'absence d'indications fournies par le distributeur de l'encre thermoactivable, l'homme du métier saura par de simples essais de routine déterminer les conditions optimales. Pour cela, il choisira une première température et durée, par exemple 180° pendant 2 secondes, et incrémentera par pas réguliers, par exemple par pas de 5° C et par pas de 0,5 secondes, jusqu'à atteindre un palier dans la qualité du transfert . Le chauffage peut être assuré par un flux d'air chaud, un bain dans un fluide chaud. De façon avantageuse, l'ensemble formé par la feuille de transfert et l'article à décorer est plongé dans un bain d'alliage de métaux non ferreux à bas point de fusion. Il s'agit par exemple d'un alliage composé de bismuth, de plomb, d'étain, et de cadmium. (Bi 50%, Pb 25%, Sn 12.5%, Cd 12.5%) dont le point de fusion est d'environ 70°C, maintenu à une température d'environ 190°C. The present invention relates to the decoration of articles by the transfer of heat-activated inks, in particular sublimable. The general principle is known from several patents of the prior art, and in particular from patents filed by the patentee. The patents US5665458, US4314813 and DE19709496 describing methods of transfer by contact, according to a technique approaching that of a buffer. A substrate carries flocked fibers to retain an ink to be transferred on a surface to be decorated. This solution is not satisfactory because it does not make it possible to decorate awkward surfaces and requires the application of pressure using a matrix conforming to the profile of the surface to be decorated. The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the solutions of the prior art by proposing an improved method and transfer sheets. To this end, the invention relates, according to its most general meaning, to decorating an article comprising a step of preparing a transfer sheet by printing with at least one heat-activated ink, a step of transfer by applying said sheet. on the article to be decorated, and by heating this assembly, characterized in that said transfer sheet is made of a flocked material and a transfer step where the transfer sheet forms around the article to be decorated a waterproof envelope connected to a source of depression. The transfer sheet for implementing the process consists in particular: - of a flocked elastomer - of flocked natural latex - of flocked synthetic latex - of a flocked natural polyisoprene sheet. The flocs are made up of: - cotton fibers - viscose fibers - polyamide fibers - acrylic fibers - polyester fibers. The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, relating to nonlimiting examples of implementation. The decoration of an article requires a succession of operations. The first is to prepare a blank transfer medium. The transfer medium is an elastomer, resistant to the temperatures required for sublimation of the ink.

In the absence of indications provided by the distributor of the heat-activatable ink, the person skilled in the art will know by simple routine tests to determine the optimal conditions. For this, it will choose a first temperature and duration, for example 180 ° for 2 seconds, and will increment in regular steps, for example in steps of 5 ° C and in steps of 0.5 seconds, until reaching a plateau in the quality of transfer. Heating can be provided by a flow of hot air, a bath in a hot fluid. Advantageously, the assembly formed by the transfer sheet and the article to be decorated is immersed in a bath of non-ferrous metal alloy with low melting point. It is for example an alloy composed of bismuth, lead, tin, and cadmium. (Bi 50%, Pb 25%, Sn 12.5%, Cd 12.5%) whose melting point is approximately 70 ° C, maintained at a temperature of approximately 190 ° C.
