Definitions
- the invention relates to a relief decoration provided with a fastener for attachment to a workpiece.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above by proposing an automated manufacturing process that uses less material, makes possible a greater variety of materials while ensuring colors and finish to reduce the rate of scum.
- the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a decoration provided with a fastener comprising the following steps:
- the method allows the manufacture of a relief decoration provided with at least one fastener whose envelope forms a "skin" of material, that is to say a predetermined thickness of material, the rest of the volume being hollowed out of said material, which makes it possible to very substantially reduce the cost of the material and the mass of the decoration.
- the material used for said at least one fastener can be, advantageously according to the invention, completely independent of the material used for the envelope. It is thus possible, by way of example, to manufacture a fastener of a more usual metal such as brass or of polymeric material allowing a varied shaping.
- the process has fewer steps, it is automatable, that is to say that the manufacture can be partially or completely carried out using automata to lower the cost of decorations.
- step a) comprises the phases a1): forming a footprint of said decoration in a substrate then a2): covering said impression with a layer of material and, optionally, a3): removing the substrate in order to obtain an envelope of material whose outer surface forms the visible portion in relief of said decoration;
- step a) comprises the phases a4): providing a sheet of material then a5): deforming the sheet of material so as to form an envelope of material and possibly a6): remove said envelope from the rest of the sheet to obtain an envelope whose outer surface forms the visible portion in relief of said decoration;
- step a) comprises the phases a7): forming a mold of said decoration then a8): covering the mold with material in order to form an envelope of material and, possibly, a9): removing the mold in order to obtain a envelope whose outer surface forms the visible portion in relief of said decoration;
- step b) comprises the phases b1): forming said at least one fastener then b2): securing said at least one fastener against the inner surface of envelopes of the decoration formed during step a);
- step b) comprises the step b3): filling of a material the inner surface of the envelope of the decoration formed during step a), forming said at least one fastener;
- the material of the envelope comprises a precious metal
- the decor forms all or part of a flange, a dial, a wall lamp or a timepiece needle.
- FIG. 1 is a representation of a step a) according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a representation of a step b) according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 and 4 are representations of a decor according to the invention.
- the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a relief decoration provided with a fastener which can, for example, form all or part of a flange, a dial, a wall or a needle of a timepiece.
- a fastener which can, for example, form all or part of a flange, a dial, a wall or a needle of a timepiece.
- these sets are generally made from materials insensitive to the oxidizing atmosphere of the air.
- the index hours, the dial or the hands are formed from precious metal, such as gold, which makes it very expensive to clothe the timepieces.
- the present method comprises a first step a) intended to form an envelope of material whose outer surface SE forms the visible part in relief of the decoration.
- the decoration comprises a raised envelope which forms a "skin" of material, that is to say a predetermined thickness of material, the remainder of the volume being hollowed out from said material, which makes it possible to decrease very substantially the cost of the material and the mass of the decoration. It is thus possible, by way of example, to manufacture a wall lamp whose visible surface in relief is formed of a precious metal, such as gold, while limiting its intrinsic cost by not using the material in question. base of precious metal only for the thickness of the envelope and not the entire set.
- the first step a) may comprise a first phase a1) intended to form a footprint 3 of said decoration in a substrate 1 as visible in FIG. 1 A.
- the substrate 1 may be of various natures, for example based on silicon, ceramic or metal.
- the layer of material 7 may, for example, be deposited by galvanic growth, by physical vapor deposition (known by the abbreviation "PVD”), by chemical vapor deposition (known by the abbreviation “CVD”). ), by atomic layer deposition (known by the abbreviation "ALD”) or by any other additive method.
- the second phase a2) may comprise a preparation of the substrate 1 and then, only after, the deposition of the material 7 of the envelope 9.
- the preparation of the substrate 1 is intended to make possible the adhesion of the material 7 to the substrate 1.
- the preparation can thus consist of making at least part of the upper surface of the substrate 1 more rough and / or depositing a bonding layer on at least a portion of the upper surface of the substrate 1 and / or depositing a technical layer on at least a portion of the upper surface of the substrate 1 for the deposition of the material 7 as shown in Figure 1 C.
- the layer 7 may be deposited on all or part of the upper surface of the substrate 1 and at least so as to cover without necessarily completely fill the footprint 3 of the future decoration 15.
- FIGS. 1 B to 1 D proposes depositing an electrically conductive layer 5 over the entire upper surface of the substrate 1 by physical vapor deposition, depositing the layer 7 by galvanic growth from the layer 5, that is to say on the entire upper surface of the substrate 1 and then leave the layer 7 in the cavity 3 to form the envelope 9.
- This example allows for several envelopes 9 different or identical on the same substrate 1, that is to say series production of envelopes 9.
- step a) comprises a first phase a4) intended to be provided with a sheet of the material intended to form the envelope 9 of the decoration 15. The step could then be continued with the second phase a5) for deforming the sheet of material so as to form said envelope of material.
- first phase a4) intended to be provided with a sheet of the material intended to form the envelope 9 of the decoration 15.
- the step could then be continued with the second phase a5) for deforming the sheet of material so as to form said envelope of material.
- several envelopes 9 different or identical could be made on the same sheet of material, that is to say, in series manufacturing envelopes 9.
- the sheet could also be advantageously used as a support.
- an amorphous metal alloy sheet based on a precious metal such as palladium or platinum
- a precious metal such as palladium or platinum
- an amorphous metal alloy is easy to deform when heated between its glass transition temperature and its crystallization temperature.
- it advantageously comprises a very high elastic limit to be particularly suitable for application to a dressing room.
- the second phase a5) could, for example, be obtained by stamping (also known as “stamping") or by blow molding (also known as " blow molding ").
- step a) comprises a first phase a7) intended to form a mold of said decoration, for example using a photolithography, in order to form several levels of photosensitive resin structured according to the pattern. of the future decor.
- This third embodiment could be a positive alternative of the first embodiment, that is to say instead of creating a footprint 3 destructively, it is formed additively for example by photolithography.
- step a) comprises a second phase a8) intended to cover the mold with material in order to form directly or indirectly the envelope 9 of matter.
- the mold is covered with the layer 7 similarly to the first embodiment, or the mold is filled to form a massive blank which is subsequently hollowed to obtain the envelope indirectly.
- the method makes it possible to form an outer surface SE of envelope 9 which will have a color and a finish which will depend on the method of deposition, the material deposited and the roughness of the substrate 1, of the sheet or of the mold, in a very reproducible manner.
- the method continues with the second step b) intended to mount, against the inner surface Si of the envelope 9, at least one fastener 13 arranged to fix the decoration 15 .
- the material used for said at least one fastener 13 may be totally independent of the material used for the envelope 9. It is thus possible, by way of example, to manufacture a fastener 13 made of a metal more conventional like brass or polymeric material allowing a varied shaping without changing neither the color and the finish of the external surface SE of the envelope 9.
- step b) comprises a first phase b1) intended to form said at least one fastener 13 and then a second phase b2) intended to fasten said at least one fastener against the inner surface Si of the envelope 9 formed in step a) as illustrated in FIG. 2B.
- Phase b1) may, advantageously according to the invention, be carried out according to any type of preferred method.
- the fastener (or the fasteners) provided (s) is not dependent (s) of the material selected for the envelope 9, no restriction on the material of said at least one fastener 13 or as to the method of manufacturing said at least one fastener 13, is deplorable.
- FIG. 2B shows a fastener in the form of a circular section prismatic volume.
- several fasteners 13 could be alternately formed during the phase b1) integrally or not. Indeed, one can imagine in the manner of a staple that two fasteners 13 are connected by means of a base forming a single piece or that several independent fasteners 13 are formed.
- Phase b2) may, advantageously according to the invention, be carried out according to several types of preferred method. Indeed, following the fastener (or the fasteners) provided (s) and the envelope 9 provided, it may be envisaged several types of fastening. Without limitation, it can be envisaged a gluing, welding or brazing of each fastener 13 against the inner surface Si of the envelope 9.
- FIGS. 2B to 2D proposes to deposit a fastening material January 1, as glue, against the inner surface Si of the envelope 9 and then to adjust said at least one fastener 13 via the layer of fastening material 1 1 against the inner surface Si of the envelope 9.
- This example makes it possible to produce several different or identical decors on the same substrate 1, that is to say, once released from the substrate 1, serial production of sets 15.
- step a Note that this advantage is retained even for the other two embodiments of step a), that is to say respectively using the same sheet or the same mold.
- step b) may alternatively comprise a phase b3) intended to fill a material with the inner surface Si of the envelope 9 by forming said at least one fastener 13.
- a phase b3) intended to fill a material with the inner surface Si of the envelope 9 by forming said at least one fastener 13.
- said at least one fastener 13 can be obtained by the use of a matrix over the envelope 9 to give a predetermined shape at the injection.
- the process has fewer steps than the manufacture of a traditional applique. It is also immediate that the use of the substrate 1, the sheet or the mold, respectively, makes the process automatable, that is to say that the manufacture can be partially or completely carried out using automata in order to lower the cost of decorations 15.
- a decoration 15 formed by a raised envelope 9 formed for example of gold whose outer surface SE determines the visible part of the decoration 15. It is apparent that a recess 17 may be provided to receive, for example, a luminescent substance such as superluminova or to create a particular aesthetic form.
- the decoration 15 further comprises a fastener 13 secured to the inner surface Si of the envelope 9 with the aid of an adhesive 11.
- the fastener 13, once fastened, for example by riveting in the hole of a dial, will be completely hidden and only the external surface SE will remain visible without being able to differentiate the decor 15 from a traditional applique as regards its color and its finish .
- the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example but is susceptible of various variations and modifications that will occur to those skilled in the art.
- the envelope 9 could be removed from the substrate 1, the sheet or the mold before performing step b).
- the inner surface Si of the envelope 9 could also include a shape, such as a groove or a rib, for improving the adhesion and / or positioning of said at least one fastener.
- a covering as illustrated in FIG. 1C it may also be envisaged to remove the surplus material 7 not in step a) but at the end of step b) without losing the advantages of the invention.
