Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for making a table.
- the invention relates to a table obtained with the method for making a table.
- tables are present on the market equipped with coverings which damage to the material with which the supporting surface is made to be avoided.
- specific cleaning agents such as, for example, detergents for tables
- the technical purpose of the invention is therefore to provide a method for making a table and a table obtained with the method which are able to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
- the aim of the invention is to provide a method for making a table and a table obtained with the method which allow a long life of the protective layers of the supporting surface of the table.
- a further aim of the invention is to provide a method for making a table and a table obtained with the method which allow the formation of detachments of the protective layers to be avoided or bubbles as a result of high temperatures and high humidity.
- the numeral 1 denotes in its a table.
- the table 1 comprises a supporting surface 2 made from glass and a predetermined number of supports 3 designed to support the table on a floor or on the ground.
- the supporting surface 2 in Figure 1 is represented simply by way of example as a surface having a rectangular shape.
- the supporting surface 2 can have a circular, elliptic, polygonal or other shape not specifically referred to below.
- the supporting surface 2 is made of opaque glass.
- the supporting surface 2 is made of transparent glass.
- the supports 3 are shown in Figure 1 as four rods which extend from the four corners of the supporting surface 2 towards the floor.
- the supports 3 can have an undulated shape.
- the supports 3 can be connected together by means of a rod suitable for supporting the feet of a user (and not shown in the accompanying drawings).
- the number of supports 3 can be more or less depending on the dimensions of the table and whether the table is installed (for example) in a wall.
- the table 1 can be equipped with a centrally positioned single support 3.
- the table 1 can be equipped with two supports 3 located solely on one side of the supporting surface 2 (since the opposite side is installed and/or fixed in a wall).
- the table 1 also comprises applying a base layer 4 of the gripping type applied on the supporting surface 2.
- the base layer 4 is a gripping primer particularly suitable to withstand high temperatures and humidity.
- the base layer 4 allows the formation of bubbles on the supporting surface 2 to be avoided.
- the base layer 4 can be transparent or be coloured depending on the final result to be obtained.
- the base layer 4 is a water-based or alcohol-based binder paint.
- the table 1 also comprises a graphical design 5 printed on the base layer 4.
- the graphical design 5 defines a marble effect.
- the graphical design 5 provides a predetermined effect which is able to enrich the glass with which the supporting surface 2 is made.
- the purpose of the graphical design 5 is substantially decorative and allows the glass to be similar to another type of material.
- the graphical design 5 gives to the glass an appearance similar to that of a slab of marble.
- the base layer 4 has the colour typical of marble and the graphical design 5 defines the darker streaking which is typical of this material as shown in Figure 3 .
- the graphical design 5 is printed on the base layer 4 by means of a UV type cold ink.
- UV type ink means an ink comprising at least the following four components: monomers, oligomers, pigments (and other adhesives) and photoinitiators.
- the photoinitiators dry the cold UV ink.
- the UV ink is activated by exposure to specific UV lamps; absorbing light and energy they generate free radicals, which trigger the polymerisation.
- UV lamps are advantageously low consumption cold type LEDs, which allow an almost drying of the UV ink on the support 4, fixing it definitively to the support 4.
- the use of the above-mentioned cold ink allows a higher quality printing to be obtained since during the drying step there is no thermal expansion of the particles of ink which adversely affect the final quality of the printing. Moreover, the use of the above-mentioned cold ink ensures that there are no significant dimensional limitations which are known in the prior art printing methods (hot type), since no oven is needed in the production process.
- UV lamps do no have dimensional limitations since it is possible to place a plurality of them mutually close to each other.
- the drying step of the cold ink is much faster than that of hot ink performed in ovens, resulting in a significant reduction in the production times of the table 1 and, therefore, a reduction in the overall production costs.
- the supporting surfaces 2 are immediately ready for the subsequent production steps and a special area for drying the supporting surfaces 2 is not required inside the factory.
- cold ink means an ink which dries at almost ambient temperatures (below 35 degrees centigrade) and does not need to be heated to temperatures above 40 degrees centigrade in order to complete the drying.
- the table 1 also comprises an outer and transparent protective layer 6.
- the protective layer allows the glass with which the supporting surface 2 is made to be further protected.
- the protective layer 6 allows deterioration of the graphical design 5 and the base layer 4 to be avoided.
- the protective layer 6 protects the supporting surface 2, the base layer 4 and the graphical design 5.
- the protective layer 6 is transparent and colourless.
- the protective layer 6 is transparent and coloured.
- the protective layer 6 has a colour suitable for providing the supporting surface 2 (that is, the base layer 4) with a colouring different from the classic one of marble.
- the protective layer 6 allows the reaching of the lower layers following continuous passages of detergent for cleaning the table to be avoided. In other words, if a user often cleans the table 1, the protective layer 6 can withstand these continuous passes.
- the protective layer 6 allows the lower layers to be protected from sunlight to which the supporting surface 2 may be exposed.
- the invention also relates to a method for making a table 1 as described above.
- the method for making the table comprises covering the supporting surface 2 of the above-mentioned table 1 with a plurality of layers.
- the method for making the table can be carried out before or after having installed the supports 3 on the table 1.
- the method above all comprises applying a base layer 4 of the type gripping on the supporting surface 2.
- the base layer 4 is a gripping primer particularly suitable to withstand high temperatures and humidity.
- the base layer 4 allows the formation of bubbles on the supporting surface 2 to be avoided.
- the base layer 4 can be transparent or be coloured depending on the final result to be obtained.
- the base layer 4 is designed to remain anchored to the glass with which the supporting surface 2 is made.
- the base layer 4 is designed to obtain a substantially total adherence with the supporting surface 2 of the layers subsequently applied with the method.
- the base layer 4 is a water-based binder or a paint of alcohol-based, gripping type.
- the base layer 4 allows a rapid drying of the paint, thereby allowing the subsequent steps of the method according to the invention to be performed.
- the method comprises printing a graphical design 5 on the base layer 4.
- the graphical design 5 is printed by means of a cold ink.
- the graphical design 5 allows a predetermined effect to be obtained which is able to enrich the glass with which the supporting surface 2 is made.
- the purpose of the graphical design 5 is substantially decorative and allows a table 1 to be obtained in which the supporting surface 2 made of glass can be similar to another type of material.
- the step for moulding the graphical design 5 comprises printing on the supporting surface 2 a design with a marble-like effect.
- the design allows a supporting surface 2 made of glass to be obtained which has an appearance similar to that of a slab of marble.
- the design 5 can give the glass forming the supporting surface 2 grains similar to those of wood or other materials of interest.
- the base layer 4 has the colour typical of marble and the graphical design 5 allowing the darker streaking to be obtained which is typical of this material as shown in Figure 3 .
- the method now comprises covering the supporting surface 2 with an outer and transparent protective layer 6.
- the protective layer allows the glass with which the supporting surface 2 is made to be further protected.
- the protective layer 6 allows deterioration of the graphical design 5 and the base layer 4 to be avoided.
- the covering step comprises applying a transparent colourless protective layer 6.
- the covering step comprises applying a transparent coloured protective layer 6.
- the protective layer 6 has a colour suitable for providing the supporting surface 2 with a colouring different from the classic one of marble.
- the above-mentioned method for making the table allows the supporting surface 2 to be protected, also allowing a desired decorative effect to be obtained.
- the method for making the table allows a table 1 to be obtained wherein bubbles do not form on the supporting surface 2 thanks to the use of the base layer 4.
- the protective layer 6 allows the reaching of the lower layers following continuous passages of detergent for cleaning the table to be avoided. In other words, if a user often cleans the table 1, the protective layer 6 can withstand these continuous passes.
- the protective layer 6 allows the lower layers to be protected from sunlight to which the supporting surface 2 may be exposed.
- the invention also relates to a table 1 made with the method described above.
- the table 1 comprises a supporting surface 2 made from glass and a predetermined number of supports 3 designed to support the table on a floor or on the ground.
- the supporting surface 2 in Figure 1 is represented as a surface with a rectangular shape.
- the supporting surface 2 can have a circular, elliptic, polygonal or other shape not specifically referred to below.
- the supporting surface 2 is made of transparent glass.
- the supporting surface 2 is made of opaque glass.
- the supporting surface 2 has a base layer 4, a printed graphical design 5 and a protective layer 6 made with the method described above and having the same technical characteristics.
- the base layer 4 allows the formation of bubbles or the detachment of other layers as a result of high temperatures to be avoided.
- the graphical design 5 allows a desired appearance of the supporting surface 2 to be obtained, in such a way as to give the glass a different and functional appearance to the environment in which the table is to be positioned 1.
- the protective layer 6 allows further appearances to be given to the supporting surface 2 as well as protecting the base layer 4 and the graphical design 5 following continuous applications of detergents or exposure to sunlight.
