Description

    Technical Field
  • The invention relates to a multilayer laminar element conceived for making it easy to transfer or apply images to a body, object or surface, particularly a three-dimensional surface, with primarily decorative functions, by superimposing and attaching one of the laminar layers of the multilayer laminar element integrating a printed image on said three-dimensional surface and eliminating another layer or layers.
  • The invention also relates to a method for transferring images to a body using the mentioned multilayer laminar element.
  • The reference made to "image" in the present specification must be understood as being extensive to any graphic composition, with images or a mixed composite with text and images.
    • Background of the Invention
  • Patent document EP 1 102 122 B1 , belonging to the same inventor as the present invention, discloses a method for transferring an image to a three-dimensional body using a gelatin sheet. This invention proposes the steps of:
    • providing an unsupported gelatin sheet;
    • printing an image onto the gelatin sheet when it is in the solid state (with a water content less than 10%);
    • moistening the sheet such that it becomes soft and flexible, and
    • applying the sheet in this soft and flexible state on a three-dimensional surface or body, where, taking advantage of the elasticity and of the fact that it is adhesive in this state, it is fixed by said application to said three-dimensional surface or body, providing the printed image and being applied in situ.
  • Printing on the sheet is advantageously performed by means of ink-jet printing.
  • In a preferred embodiment, the sheet is subjected to heating at a temperature in the order of 35 to 45°C, during the step of applying it to said three-dimensional surface or body.
  • The printed image is generally not on the contact surface of the gelatin sheet and the three-dimensional body/object or surface, but the sheet can also be attached on a surface such that the image is on contact face with said surface. In this case, if the ink of the image is impermeable the, contact face of said surface must be impregnated with an adhesive.
  • Although the described method has been shown to be very useful, it suffers from the drawback derived from the dimensional instability of gelatin taking into account that the gelatin sheet must be attached at all times to the three-dimensional surface, as a support for the transferred printed image. Said instability is particularly due to changes and/or variations that may be experienced in relative humidity and temperature of the environment surrounding the sheet over time, which can compromise the fixing thereof to the three-dimensional surface and deteriorate the image it supports.
  • For this reason, the invention proposes an alternative laminar element and a method for transferring images to a three-dimensional surface using said multilayer laminar element.
    • Description of the invention
  • For that purpose, the invention proposes a multilayer laminar element for transferring images to a three-dimensional body or surface comprising in a basic embodiment:
    • a first gelatin layer in the solid state (water content less than 10%), and
    • a second layer (or several layers) superimposed on the preceding layer, integrating a transparent, elastic (or one that acquires elasticity due to moistening) and printable (advantageously by means of an ink-jet printer) cover for thus receiving the image to be transferred.
  • The mentioned first layer, when moistened, becomes soft and elastic as explained in the European patent mentioned as a background document, which allows, particularly by means of the use of an adhesive arranged on the second layer or cover, after printing thereof with the image to be transferred, applying the composition to said three-dimensional surface with the printed face of the cover facing and in contact with said surface. Then, the aforementioned first gelatin layer, in the moistened state, can be readily separated from the cover, the image accompanying it then being completely integrated on the three-dimensional surface of interest.
  • It is obvious that the mentioned adhesive for fixing the proposed multilayer laminar element could be deposited on the three-dimensional surface to which it must be attached, placing the mentioned cover against the surface with adhesive.
  • In other words, in the present invention the gelatin sheet is used as a support for the second layer or cover which is where the image will be printed and which will be applied to the three-dimensional surface or body.
  • In the event that more than one of the layer or layers could be used, as a cover they have the feature of being transparent and printable. With respect to being elastic, this will be due to the nature of the material of the sheet or it is the result of the humidity provided to the gelatin sheet prior to or during the operation of applying the multilayer element on the three-dimensional surface for transferring the image
  • The transparent cover can have various compositions, such as a polyurethane, an acrylic copolymer and mixtures thereof. Some conditions relating to the material used will be indicated below, depending on the ink used in the printing process.
  • Generally the cover has a thickness that is much less than that of the gelatin layer, which is from 60 to 70 microns, whereas said cover can be from 3 to 40 microns, and generally between 3 and 20 microns. Said reduced thickness results in applying the printed image with minimal alteration of the features of the three-dimensional surface on which it is fixed through the mentioned cover, leading to full integration printing of the image on said outer surface.
  • Efforts will be made so that with the humidity provided in the process of application, the gelatin sheet will readily detach from the cover. In an alternative embodiment, it is envisaged as having an intermediate layer that is soluble with the humidity, selected from, for example, acacia gum or polyvinyl alcohol.
  • An important aspect to be taken into account is based on the ink used for the ink-jet printing process.
  • Three fundamental types of ink have been identified and tested for said (ink-jet) printing process to implement this invention:
    • Ultraviolet-curable inks, which adhere perfectly in a wide range of materials, which allows using a polyurethane, an acrylic copolymer, a vinyl resin or mixtures thereof as a cover.
    • Solvent and eco-solvent inks. Polyurethanes, acrylic resins as well as mixtures of both can be used to assure correct printing.
    • Aqueous inks. There are a number of formulations in the state of the art which allow for correct printing. The cover on which the image is printed has to be water-absorbent in this case and it must also absorb other components present in the ink. Suitable formulations can comprise polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or some polyurethanes.
  • In the case of aqueous inks and given that the ink-receiving layer (the cover) must necessarily be water-absorbent, are proposed two configurations:
    • The adhesive used, which is superimposed on the cover, is aqueous, such that it will transmit humidity to the set of layers, making it elastic and adherent in this process.
    • The adhesive used is an aqueous adhesive, but an impermeable layer is arranged between the image-receiving layer (cover) and the gelatin sheet. This impermeable interposed layer will provide features of impermeability, transparency and elasticity. An acrylic copolymer can be used for said impermeable layer.
  • Furthermore and to improve the rate of absorption of the aqueous inks, permeable covers (microporous or nanoporous), which would be applied on the cover before printing, have been described.
  • If the adhesive is not aqueous, the multilayer composition will be taken, in a rigid state, to the object to which it would be adhered superficially, subsequently moistening the gelatin layer to make it elastic and then pressing the laminar element against the three-dimensional surface where the cover must be attached, finally proceeding to detach the gelatin layer.
  • On the other hand, the adhesive used can be different types of adhesives:
    • ultraviolet-curable (UV-curable) adhesive;
    • polyvinyl acetate,
    • pressure-sensitive adhesive
  • The proposed method for transferring images comprises performing the following steps:
    • preparing a multilayer laminar element by applying a cover of a transparent, elastic (or one that acquires elasticity due to pressure-sensitive) and printable material on a gelatin layer in the solid state (humidity content less than 10%);
    • printing said cover advantageously by means of an ink-jet printing process;
    • applying an adhesive (which can be provided by the surface on which the laminar element is applied);
    • moistening said multilayer laminar element (if it was not moistened by the applied adhesive);
    • applying the moistened and elastic laminar element on a three-dimensional surface or body with said cover facing and in contact with said three-dimensional surface or body; and
    • removing said gelatin layer, separating it from the cover which remains adhered to said three-dimensional surface or body.
  • Once the cover has been printed, the method for transferring the multilayer element to a three-dimensional surface can be carried out in several ways according to the nature of the layer or layers constituting said multilayer laminar element.
  • If the cover is permeable, an aqueous adhesive is applied so that when the multilayer composition receives humidity, it becomes elastic and readily adheres to the three-dimensional surface of a body or object.
  • If the multilayer laminar element integrates an impermeable and elastic layer, which is either the actual cover receiving the printing or an additional layer, interposed between said cover and the gelatin layer, the composition is superficially adhered to the irregular surface or object by means of an adhesive arranged on said cover; humidity is subsequently applied to the gelatin layer so it becomes elastic; the multilayer element is then pressed against the three-dimensional surface and is adhered to same; and the gelatin layer is finally removed as a result of the humidity.
  • In the case of aqueous inks, the cover can become adhesive when it is moistened, which would allow applying said cover on the three-dimensional surface without requiring additional adhesives. The moistened gelatin layer would finally be removed as explained above.
  • In particular embodiment, the multilayer laminar element is applied to a three-dimensional object using to that end a mold envisaged for shaping said object. In this case, the printed and moistened multilayer laminar element is fitted to the walls of a mold, arranging the gelatin layer in contact with the inner wall of the mold. A material is then deposited inside the mold and said mold is optionally closed. When, due to the molding process, the material has set, it is removed from the mold, with the multilayer laminar element adhered by the cover layer thereof to the outer surface of the molded body. Finally, the gelatin layer is removed from the multilayer laminar element, and the body is decorated with a printed image.
  • The features of the invention are described in the following claims.
