Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un nouveau dispositif à destination essentiellement décorative, et appartenant à la catégorie des tableaux ou motifs mobiles ou modifiables par action dynamique ou thermique sans contact avec les éléments constitutifs. The present invention relates to a new device intended primarily for decoration, and belonging to the category of tables or patterns which are mobile or modifiable by dynamic or thermal action without contact with the constituent elements.
Un exemple connu, d'un tel dispositif est le tableau modifiable constitué par un ensemble de deux plaques parallèles, dont l'une au moins est transparente, et qui difinissent un espace mince rempli d'un liquide relativement visqueux --contenant en suspension de fines particules d'un matériau nacré. Au repos, on observe à travers la face transparente une surface monochrome pratiquement uniforme. Si l'on soumet le système à une rotation ou à un échauffement local, la force centrifuge ou les mouvements de convexion créent des courants qui se matérialisent visuellement par des motifs toujours monochromes, mais à reflets nacrés, en mouvance permanente, d'un bel effet décoratif. A known example of such a device is the modifiable table consisting of a set of two parallel plates, at least one of which is transparent, and which define a thin space filled with a relatively viscous liquid - containing in suspension of fine particles of pearlescent material. At rest, a practically uniform monochrome surface is observed through the transparent face. If the system is subjected to a local rotation or heating, the centrifugal force or convection movements create currents which materialize visually by always monochrome patterns, but with pearly reflections, in permanent movement, of a beautiful decorative effect.
Toutefois ces effets disparaissent dès le retour au repos où la surface uniforme monochrome réapparait.However, these effects disappear upon returning to rest where the uniform monochrome surface reappears.
La présente invention permet de créer des effets à la fois plus variés et ne subissant pas l'inconvénient de disparaitre spontanément. Au contraire, il est possible, grâce au nouveau dispositif selon l'invention, d'une part de réaliser des motifs de couleurs multiples, et d'autre part, de conserver un motif après qu'il ait été obtenu par mouvance des éléments du système. The present invention makes it possible to create effects which are both more varied and which do not suffer the disadvantage of disappearing spontaneously. On the contrary, it is possible, thanks to the new device according to the invention, on the one hand to produce patterns of multiple colors, and on the other hand, to keep a pattern after it has been obtained by movement of the elements of the system.
A cet effet, le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé essentiellement en ce que l'espace créé entre les deux plaques est rempli au moyen d'une part d'au moins un matériau solide en fines particules et d'autre part d'un liquide ayant une densité différente de celle de ce matériau. En pratique, le liquide sera de préférence plus léger que le solide. To this end, the device according to the invention is essentially characterized in that the space created between the two plates is filled by means of on the one hand at least one solid material in fine particles and on the other hand a liquid having a density different from that of this material. In practice, the liquid will preferably be lighter than the solid.
Selon une réalisation particulière, ledit liquide est d'une nature telle qu'il forme des bulles ou une mousse, ayant tendance à surnager. Par exemple ce peut être une solution aqueuse d'un produit détergent du commerce. According to a particular embodiment, said liquid is of a nature such that it forms bubbles or a foam, tending to float. For example, it can be an aqueous solution of a commercial detergent product.
Dans la pratique, cette combinaison se comporte de la manière suivante : la double plaque dans l'espace intersticiel de laquelle est enfermé le mélange liquide/solide étant placée verticalement de champ, le solide va se déposer dans la partie inférieure, en "tombant" à travers le liquide d'autant plus vite que sa densité sera plus élevée. Si l'on prend par exemple de la chromite, elle se rassemblera rapidement dans le bas du "tableau". Si alors on retourne à 1800 ledit tableau, les bulles ou la mousse vont se placer entre la chromite, située en haut, et le liquide, situé en bas.Le volume et la répartition desdites bulles étant irréguliers, la chute vers le bas des particules va se trouver freinée, de sorte que deux effets sont atteints : un effet dynamique, les particules se frayant un chemin à travers les bulles, et un effet statique, les mêmes particules se réunissant de manière irrégulière dans le fond. In practice, this combination behaves as follows: the double plate in the interstitial space of which the liquid / solid mixture is enclosed being placed vertically in the field, the solid will deposit in the lower part, "falling" through the liquid the faster the higher its density. If we take for example chromite, it will quickly gather at the bottom of the "table". If we then return to 1800 said table, the bubbles or the foam will be placed between the chromite, located at the top, and the liquid, located at the bottom. The volume and the distribution of said bubbles being irregular, the drop to the bottom of the particles will be braked, so that two effects are achieved: a dynamic effect, the particles making their way through the bubbles, and a static effect, the same particles meeting irregularly in the background.
Selon une variante, pour créer des effets de "ciel" ou de "nuages", on peut également introduire dans le système des particules plus légères que le liquide, et qui se rassembleront donc dans la partie supérieure du tableau. Elles auront d'ailleurs pour rôle supplémentaire de dissimuler les bulles, dans le cas où un cadre opaque approprié ne suffirait pas à cet effet. According to a variant, to create "sky" or "cloud" effects, it is also possible to introduce into the system particles lighter than the liquid, and which will therefore collect in the upper part of the table. They will also have the additional role of concealing the bubbles, in the event that an appropriate opaque frame is not sufficient for this purpose.
Bien entendu l'effet dynamique est transitoire et ne se manifeste que si le "tableau" est secoué ou retourné : par contre le motif final est stable. Of course the dynamic effect is transient and only manifests itself if the "table" is shaken or turned over: on the other hand the final pattern is stable.
Si maintenant on utilise un liquide et un solide de couleurs différentes, et si, mieux encore, on associe plusieurs matériaux solides en particules de densités et de couleurs différentes, ces divers effets vont se conjuguer en créant des impression visuelles variables à l'infini, imprévisibles et non reproductibles. If we now use a liquid and a solid of different colors, and if, better still, we combine several solid materials into particles of different densities and colors, these various effects will combine to create infinitely variable visual impressions, unpredictable and non-reproducible.
Ainsi, par exemple, si l'on associe, dans de leau mousseuse colorée en bleu, des particules de chromite noire et de la fleur de soufre, jaune, on obtient, dunamiquement, des effets de tourbillons, et statiquement, des strates ou des marbrures, évoquant des paysages ou des photographies filtrées. Thus, for example, if one associates, in sparkling water colored in blue, particles of black chromite and yellow flower of sulfur, one obtains, dunamically, effects of swirls, and statically, strata or mottling, evoking landscapes or filtered photographs.
Bien entendu, selon que l'on souhaite conserver un motif particulièrement plaisant ou au contraire contempler des effets dynamiques, on peut, soit immobiliser le "tableau" verticalement sur un socle, soit au contraire l'associer à un système provoquant son basculement ou sa rotation, agissant de manière suffisamment lente, ou encore à un système d'échauffement, conduisant à des mouvements de convection. Of course, depending on whether you want to keep a particularly pleasant pattern or on the contrary contemplate dynamic effects, you can either immobilize the "painting" vertically on a base, or on the contrary associate it with a system causing its tilting or rotation, acting slowly enough, or a heating system, leading to convection movements.
Tous les matériaux non susceptibles de réagir physiquement (dissolution) ou chimiquement ensemble peuvent être associés : eau, hydrocarbures, huiles, pour les liquides, sable, marbres, ou matériaux plus légers que le liquide, pour les solides. All the materials not likely to react physically (dissolution) or chemically together can be associated: water, hydrocarbons, oils, for liquids, sand, marbles, or materials lighter than the liquid, for solids.
Les effets visuels seront encore accrus si les deux plaques sont transparentes et associées à un éclairage situé devant ou derrière. The visual effects will be further increased if the two plates are transparent and associated with lighting located in front or behind.
Enfin, pour compléter encore l'effet visuel du système, on peut disposer sur la face arrière, généralement plate ou légèrement galbée, un fond constitué par un motif, tel qu'un dessin ou une photo en noir ou en couleur, devant lequel sont créés les effets du système selon l'invention. Finally, to further complete the visual effect of the system, there can be arranged on the rear face, generally flat or slightly curved, a background consisting of a pattern, such as a drawing or a photo in black or in color, before which are created the effects of the system according to the invention.
