Abstract

The invention consists in obtaining decorative articles by compressing paint between a support and a covering element. It consists of a support (1) on which paint (2) is spread and the covering element is then used to compress the paint (2). The covering element (3) is made to pivot on its support (1) in order to obtain a spiral effect with the paint (2). The device according to the invention is especially designed for furniture and decorative plaques.

Description

Decorative item: its manufacturing process and materials
The invention relates, in general, to decorative articles, having exceptional visual qualities and which can find its use particularly in the glass industry as well as methods of manufacturing such decorative articles.

The decoration and the furniture are classified by the consumer mainly on the basis of their appearance, their durability, their maintenance and their cost.

The object of the invention is to create decorative articles containing in whole or in part many properties of the visual effects mentioned below.

The visual effect of this article is unique due to the fact that one can obtain depth and overlay, and spiral effects.

The nuances of color are very varied or embedded in each other which gives an extraordinary result of color mixing and touches the imagination of all. Many decorative objects have been created in terms of decoration, especially in painting with very large visual qualities, for example pictures, frescoes, imitation marble, wood etc.

Decorative articles are obtained (hereinafter called "articles") according to the invention. These items can have all of the being possible to have with glass cutting.

It is imperative to note that each article created is absolutely unique and impossible to reproduce by the same process. The patterns are unlimited.

It is possible to obtain different types of decorative items starting from the same factory bases which consist of compressing paint between a support and a plate of glass or transparent plastic of the same dimension. Different types of materials are used as support (wood, glass, transparent plastic) because of their rigidity.

As cover plate, glass or transparent plastic can be used depending on what the decorative article is intended for.

Water-based paint (gouache, acrylic) is used to obtain a good result.

It is possible to use oil paint but the results are less satisfactory due to their excess cracking.

However, it is possible to mix the paints according to what the decorative item is intended for.

Several glass plates can be used for the covering, each time putting paint between the different glass plates or transparent plastic.

We obtain different types of decorative items depending on how we proceed, it all depends mainly on the support that we use and the paint used due to the modification and the speed of drying.

When using a support, on which a coat of paint or several coats is applied, this coat should be fairly thick.

Using the covering which is made of glass or transparent plastic of the same dimension as the support, the paint which is on the support is compressed.

To obtain a spiral effect, the covering is pivoted on its support without separating them.

The effects of depth are obtained by the superposition of different layers of paint which, in the end, happens to form a single layer.

It is possible to use several plates of glass or transparent plastic material which is superimposed, each time with a layer of paint or several layers between each plate, this gives an effect of depth or of several dimensions.

By using two plates of glass or transparent plastic material where paint is put in, during drying the paint shrinks and forms a multitude of small veins which become entangled one in the other to finally become uniform.

The pigments of the paint used are fixed on the wall of the glass or transparent plastic and do not move anymore and keep all its shine
From this moment, we choose to paint the background or not, depending on the use of the decorative item.

Using a wooden support on which we spread a layer of paint or several layers and cover with a glass plate which we compress.

Depending on the drying result, which sometimes forms cells (where the paint shrinks too much), the covering is separated from its support.

When you separate the support from its covering, the paint must be in a paste state.

The paint quickly turns into a paste state, because the wood absorbs.

During the separation, ridges and dimples are formed, it suffices to fill these dimples with paint of identical color or other shade, but always use a water-based paint (gouache, acrylic), to obtain smooth walls.

The drying time varies depending on the size of the decorative item and the thickness of the paint layer.

You can paint either the support or the covering or both.

Compress using the covering to thoroughly impregnate the colors.

Thoroughly dry the paint trapped in the two elements.

To avoid the separation of the two elements, proceed with a joint with silicone or other glue which can act as a joint.

The invention will be better understood by looking at the example below
Examples:
The first operation will be to prepare a support (wood, glass, transparent plastic) where one spreads a layer of paint or several layers with patterns or without.

Once this phase is finished, we proceed to the recovery, using a glass plate or transparent plastic material of the same dimension as its support.

It is possible to use several glass plates or transparent plastic material to cover it, if we always add a layer of paint between each plate: example: three glasses equal two thicknesses of paint etc.

The paint on the support is compressed using its covering.

Press until the paint covers the entire wall of the cover and then proceed to drying.

There are different types of drying depending on the final destination of the decorative item.

Once the decorative item is in its drying phase, tape is applied to the outline and allowed to air dry.

It is also possible to dry in the oven at a temperature not exceeding fifty degrees. There are also ultraviolet lamps.

Once dried, we glue the outline using glue or silicone, and we put adhesive tape on the outline for more dryness.
