Abstract

Butterfly wings are preserved by sandwiching their colored scales (3) between two films (1 and 5) at least one of which is transparent. The films are held in position be adhesives (2 and 4) which are transparent and do not tarnish the natural colors of the scales. The upper film may include an ultra violet filter. The ribbed membrane of the wing is not preserved.

Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé de conditionnement pour présenter, préserver et utiliser la couleur d'une aile de papillon naturel. The present invention relates to a packaging method for presenting, preserving and using the color of a natural butterfly wing.

Les papillons naturalisés sont traditionnellement protégés dans une boîte vitrée. Mais leur préservation nécessite beaucoup de soin et d'entretien : manipulation délicate, produits anti-parasites, locaux secs,. Les papillons ainsi préservés ne peuvent tre utilisés qu'à des fins d'observation. Naturalized butterflies are traditionally protected in a glass box. But their preservation requires a lot of care and maintenance: delicate handling, anti-parasite products, dry premises. The butterflies thus preserved can only be used for observation purposes.

Un autre procédé de conditionnement consiste à mettre le papillon (ou seulement ses ailes) dans des résines pour inclusions. Mais la couche importante de résine nécessaire et sa rigidité limite les utilisations et n'est pas représentatif de la finesse d'une aile. De plus, par réactions chimiques, beaucoup d'ailes irisées se ternissent au contact des solvants contenus dans les résines. Another conditioning process consists in putting the butterfly (or only its wings) in resins for inclusions. However, the large layer of resin required and its rigidity limits the uses and is not representative of the fineness of a wing. In addition, by chemical reactions, many iridescent wings tarnish on contact with the solvents contained in the resins.

Le procédé de conditionnement selon I'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. L'aile d'un papillon est constituée d'une membrane nervurée fragile recouverte d'écailles microscopiques. La pigmentation, la forme et l'implantation de celles-ci apporte la coloration. Le procédé de conditionnement selon I'invention permet de séparer la couche d'écailles colorées de la membrane nervurée pour 1'insérer entre deux films de protection en matière souple, étanche et résistante. Le film supérieur, recouvrant le dessus des 6caillez, est transparent pour assurer en outre la visibilité des couleurs. Le film inférieur, recouvrant le dessous des écailles, permet en outre de fixer ou de coller l'ensemble du conditionnement sur le support de son choix. Les deux films adhérent de part et d'autre de la couche d'écailles formant ainsi un conditionnement étanche et indissociable. La nature sans solvant des adhésifs utilisés ne provoque aucune réaction chimique susceptible de ternir les couleurs irisées. L'adhésif situé entre le film supérieur et le dessus de la couche d'écailles est transparent pour assurer lui aussi la visibilité parfaite des couleurs. Grâce à sa souplesse, sa résistance et sa finesse (épaisseur non limitative totale d'environ 0, 3 mm) le conditionnement peut-tre transformé de diverses manières (poinçonnage, découpage, thermoformage, pliage, collage, couture...) permettant ainsi de nombreuses applications. The packaging method according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. The wing of a butterfly consists of a fragile ribbed membrane covered with microscopic scales. The pigmentation, the shape and the implantation of these bring coloring. The packaging method according to the invention makes it possible to separate the layer of colored scales from the ribbed membrane in order to insert it between two protective films of flexible, waterproof and resistant material. The upper film, covering the top of the 6caillez, is transparent to also ensure the visibility of the colors. The lower film, covering the underside of the scales, also makes it possible to fix or glue the entire package on the support of its choice. The two films adhere on either side of the layer of scales thus forming a sealed and inseparable packaging. The solvent-free nature of the adhesives used does not cause any chemical reaction liable to tarnish the iridescent colors. The adhesive located between the upper film and the top of the scale layer is transparent to also ensure perfect visibility of the colors. Thanks to its flexibility, resistance and finesse (total non-limiting thickness of approximately 0.3 mm), the packaging can be transformed in various ways (punching, cutting, thermoforming, folding, gluing, sewing, etc.) thus allowing many applications.

Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, le film supérieur transparent peut subir un traitement pour filtrer les rayons ultra-violets, succeptibles de décolorer à terme certaines couleurs sensibles à la luminosité. According to a particular embodiment, the transparent upper film can undergo a treatment to filter the ultraviolet rays, capable of eventually discoloring certain colors sensitive to brightness.

Le dessin annexé représente en coupe l'ordre de superposition des films, adhésifs et écailles contenus dans le conditionnement. The accompanying drawing shows in section the order of superposition of the films, adhesives and flakes contained in the packaging.

En référence à ce dessin, le procédé de conditionnement consiste dans un premier temps à séparer délicatement les ailes du corps d'un papillon naturalisé. II est possible de réassembler les ailes antérieure et postérieure en position naturelle en les collant l'une sur l'autre avec un adhésif approprié ( vernis à ongle transparent par exemple). Les ailes du papillon sont ensuite introduites dans un film formant pochette utilisé pour la plastification par thermocollage. Ce film (1) en matière plastique est transparent, souple et résistant. II est préenduit d'une thermocolle (2) transparente et sans solvants. With reference to this drawing, the conditioning process initially consists in delicately separating the wings from the body of a naturalized butterfly. It is possible to reassemble the anterior and posterior wings in a natural position by gluing them one on the other with an appropriate adhesive (transparent nail varnish for example). The wings of the butterfly are then introduced into a film forming a pocket used for plasticizing by heat sealing. This plastic film (1) is transparent, flexible and resistant. It is pre-coated with a transparent adhesive (2) without solvents.

Après passage dans la machine à plastifier thermique, I'aile est plastifier sur ces deux faces. En découpant (avec une paire de ciseaux par exemple) le film au raz du pourtour de l'aile (ou dans l'aile si seulement une partie est à conditionner), il est alors possible d'extraire d'une part, la membrane nervurée et d'autre part, la couche d'écailles (3) fortement collée sur le film (1). Celle-ci est alors appliquée et collée sur un autre film (5) en toile plastifiée, souple, étanche, résistant et préenduit d'un adhésif (4) sans solvant à fort pouvoir d'adhérence. L'adhérence de cette toile (5) est améliorée, si après t'avoir découpée aux dimensions du film (1), elle est fortement pressée sur les écailles par faction de rouleaux de laminage ou d'une presse. Le conditionnement est alors terminé.After passing through the thermal laminator, the wing is laminated on these two faces. By cutting (with a pair of scissors for example) the film flush with the edge of the wing (or in the wing if only part is to be conditioned), it is then possible to extract on the one hand, the membrane ribbed and on the other hand, the layer of scales (3) strongly bonded to the film (1). This is then applied and bonded to another film (5) of plasticized canvas, flexible, waterproof, resistant and pre-coated with an adhesive (4) without solvent with high adhesion. The adhesion of this fabric (5) is improved, if after having cut you to the dimensions of the film (1), it is strongly pressed on the scales by faction of rolling rolls or a press. The conditioning is then finished.

Selon des variantes possibles au procédé décrit ci-dessus, il est possible : -de remplacer la plastification thermique par une plastification à froid. II convient néanmoins de s'assurer que la colle (2) du film (1) soit parfaitement transparente et que le collage des écailles soit efficace et uniforme. According to possible variants of the process described above, it is possible: to replace the thermal plasticization with a cold plasticization. It should nevertheless be ensured that the adhesive (2) of the film (1) is perfectly transparent and that the bonding of the scales is effective and uniform.

-de remplacer la toile (5) et son adhésif (4) par une autre matière adhésive tel qu'un mastic ou un vernis à condition que ces substances ne ternissent pas les écailles par réaction chimique.-to replace the canvas (5) and its adhesive (4) with another adhesive material such as a putty or a varnish provided that these substances do not tarnish the scales by chemical reaction.

-d'utiliser un film (1) pour plastification ne formant pas pochette (à simple feuillet).-to use a film (1) for plasticization which does not form a pocket (with a single sheet).

-d'utiliser un autre moyen de découpe comme un poinçon ou un laser avec ou sans asservissement.-to use another cutting means such as a punch or a laser with or without servo-control.

Ce procédé de conditionnement peut servir à réaliser des documents scientifiques ou pédagogiques facile à transporter, à manipuler et sans entretien. II est également possible de réaliser des objets de décoration tel que des tableaux ou de la bijouterie.  This packaging process can be used to produce scientific or educational documents that are easy to transport, handle and maintenance-free. It is also possible to make decorative objects such as paintings or jewelry.
