Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for printing a decoration on the lateral surface of revolution of a culinary article.
  • a method for printing a decoration on the lateral surface of revolution of a culinary article mounted in rotation along its axis of revolution the method being of the type comprising an inking step in which ink is applied to a matrix, a transfer step in which the ink applied to the matrix is transferred onto a revolution surface of a buffer mounted in rotation along its axis of revolution, and a printing step in which the transferred ink on the pad is deposited on the surface of revolution of the culinary article by bringing the surface of revolution of the pad into contact with the surface of revolution of the culinary article.
  • the matrix is formed by a fabric arranged in a frame driven by a translation movement, and during the transfer step, the ink having passed through the fabric by its scraping is transferred. by screen printing on the surface of revolution of the pad which is in contact with the frame.
  • the document US 2008/041250 relates to a device and a pad printing process for printing a decoration on the lateral surface of revolution of a culinary article mounted in rotation along its axis of revolution.
  • the document PDS Consulting " Understanding the pad in pad printing” describes a device and method of pad printing comprising a stamp, a snapshot and an object to decorate, the snapshot and the object to be decorated being laid flat.
  • the present invention aims to achieve a new method of printing on culinary article, for printing a large-scale decor, which can extend to the entire periphery of the surface of revolution.
  • the transfer of the ink from the matrix to the buffer is carried out by bringing the surface of revolution of the pad into contact with that of the matrix which is mounted to rotate in accordance with its axis of revolution, the contacting of the buffer with the plate being performed in a priming area of the non-relief plate and / or the contact of the culinary article with the pad being made in a non-inked area of the buffer .
  • this matrix is in fact a snapshot that makes it possible to perform rotational printing on the article.
  • the pattern range is thus considerably larger: the pattern corresponds to the etching of the shot, and the latter can be continuous and extend over the entire periphery of the shot.
  • the pad comes into contact with the rotating plate at the primer area, without ink.
  • Such deformation can occur on the one hand because of the synchronization of the buffer and the compression of the elastic layer of the latter.
  • the culinary article comes into contact with the rotating pad at a non-inked area.
  • Such deformation can occur on the one hand because of the synchronization of the culinary article and the compression of the elastic layer of the buffer.
  • an installation for implementing the method according to the present invention comprises a frame, a plate 1 and a buffer 2, the frame supporting the plate 1, the pad 2 and the culinary article 3 for receive the impression.
  • the plate 1 has a surface of revolution 4 carrying an engraving 7 corresponding to the pattern to be printed. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the plate 1 comprises a hub 5 and a strip 6 which is separable from the hub 5 and which carries the engraving 7. Thus, for changing pattern, simply change the band 6.
  • This band 6 comprises, on a first angular sector, the engraving 7 formed by a zone having a relief, and, on a second angular sector, a primer zone 8, smooth , without relief.
  • This plate 1 is mounted in rotation about a first rotation shaft which is carried by the frame and which extends along the axis of revolution 9 of the plate 1. Moreover, the plate 1 bathes in ink 10 which is arranged in an inkwell 11 (carried by the frame, and here, secured to the first rotating shaft).
  • the pad 2 has a surface of revolution 12 made of a material suitable for transferring the ink 10 from the plate 1 to the article 3 by pad printing, here, of the silicone. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the pad 2 comprises a hub 13 and a layer 14 of elastic material forming the surface of revolution 12 of the pad 2.
  • This buffer 2 is rotatably mounted around a second rotation shaft which is carried by the frame and which extends along the axis of revolution 15 of the buffer 2.
  • the first and second rotation shafts are movable one by relationship to the other so as to allow their approximation and their distance.
  • the culinary article 3 (for example a pan or a saucepan) also has a surface of revolution 16 intended to receive the ink 10.
  • the decoration is intended to be printed on the outer face of the surface of revolution 16.
  • This culinary article 3 is mounted in rotation about a third rotation shaft which is carried by the frame and which extends along the axis of revolution 17 of the article 3.
  • the second and third rotation shafts are movable relative to each other so as to allow their approximation and their spacing.
  • Snapshot 1 is rotated; by this rotation and by the fact that the plate 1 bathes in the ink 10, the engraving 7 of the plate 1 is always filled with ink 10.
  • the buffer 2 (more precisely, its elastic layer 14) is put in contact with the plate 1 (more precisely, with the strip 6 of the plate 1), which causes the rotation of the pad 2.
  • the buffer 2 comes into contact with the plate 1 rotating in the area of the primer 8 , without ink 10.
  • Such deformation can occur, firstly because of the synchronization of the buffer 2 as well as the compression of the elastic layer 14 of the latter.
  • the plate 1 and the buffer 2 are each integral with a toothed wheel.
  • the bringing together and the relative distance of their rotation shafts causes meshing or disengagement of the two gears and thus the rotation of the buffer 2 or not.
  • the culinary article 3 (more precisely, its revolution surface 16) is brought into contact with the buffer 2 (more precisely with the elastic layer 14 buffer 2) by the displacement of the third rotation shaft, which causes the rotation of the culinary article 3.
  • the culinary article 3 comes into contact with the rotating buffer 2 at a non-inked zone 18 (corresponding to the zone having been in contact with the initiation zone 8 of the picture 1). Such deformation may occur, on the one hand because of the synchronization of the culinary article 3 as well as the compression of the elastic layer 14 of the buffer 2.
  • the path of the ink 10 is as follows: during an inking step, the ink 10 is applied to the plate 1 and fills the engraving 7 of the latter; during a transfer step, the ink applied to the plate 1 (contained in the etching 7) is transferred onto the surface of revolution 12 of the pad 2 by the contact of the elastic layer 14 of the pad 2 with the strip 6 of the picture 1; and during a printing step, the ink 10 transferred to the pad 2 is deposited on the culinary article 3 by the contact of the revolution surface 16 of the culinary article 3 with the elastic layer 14 of the pad 2 .
  • An advantage of such a method is that it is very easy to print a continuous pattern on the side surface of a culinary article.
  • the dimensions of the decor can be very important and the quality of printing is remarkable and much better than the screen printing.
  • This process makes it possible to print a decoration on a culinary article regardless of the finish of the surface of revolution.
  • a decoration on a culinary article regardless of the finish of the surface of revolution.
  • a polished, brushed, shiny, enamelled or PTFE coated substrate such as stainless steel.
  • This method also makes it possible to use any type of ink.
  • ink for example, enamel, PTFE, organic solvent lacquer, water-based lacquer or UV-curing lacquer.
  • the printing is done very neatly, since the culinary article 3 has come into contact with the pad 2 in a non-inked area 18 and since the pad 2 has itself entered in contact with the plate 1 in a zone without ink. As a result, the revolution surface 16 of the culinary article 3 does not undergo a stamp blow.
  • ink and "decor” should not be taken with a limiting value from a decorative point of view: it may be enamel (or lacquer or PTFE %) arranged on the entire surface of revolution.
