Abstract

A transparent sheet (10) is provided with an image (12.1) on one surface and an overlying light reflective layer (16) on the same surface of the sheet. The sheet (10) may be a glass sheet or synthetic plastic and the reflective layer (16) may be a metallic silver coating or foil. The image (12.1) may comprise spraying coatings of varying intensity pigment and covered by a translucent or coloured epoxy protective coating (14) prior to applying reflective layer (16). <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Preparation of transparent sheets The present invention relates to the preparation of transparent sheets, such as glass sheets.
It is an object of the invention to prepare and treat such sheets in a special manner so as to obtain an attractive highly reflective lustre effect.
According to the invention, a method of preparing a transparent sheet, includes the steps of providing an image on one surface of the sheet, and thereafter to provide a light reflective layer on the same surface of the sheet so as to cover the image at least partially.
The sheet may be a glass sheet or a sheet of synthetic plastic material.
The reflective layer may be substantially highly reflective.
The reflective layer may be a coating, or a foil or of any other suitable flat form.
The light reflective layer may be a metallic silver coating.
The sheet may be panel or a pane or may be in any other suitable flat form.
A translucent layer may be applied over the image prior to applying the light reflective layer.
The translucent layer may be a translucent epoxy based, isolating and protective coating.
The image may be applied as a spray painted coating of pigment, or by several spray painted coatings of pigment having varying intensities.
Also according to the invention, a pictorial member includes a transparent sheet, at least one image on one surface of the sheet, and a light reflective layer on the same surface of the sheet and at least partially covering the image.
The pictorial member may have been prepared by means of a method as set out above.
An intermediate translucent layer may be provided between the image and the reflective layer. Each translucent coating may be a translucent epoxy based, isolating and protective coating.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.
In the drawings there is shown in Figure 1 a side view, on an enlarged scale, of a sheet treated in accordance with the invention; and Figure 2 a front view, but on a reduced scale, of the sheet seen along arrow II in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, a sheet 10 is illustrated, which may be of glass or any other suitable transparent material, such as a synthetic plastic sheet.
In providing the sheet 10 with the various layers in accordance with the invention, the first step is to apply an image layer 12 on one face 10.1 of the sheet. The image 12 will have solid parts 12.1 with open clear parts 12.2 inbetween.
Over the image 12 a translucent coat of material 1 4 is applied as a second step. This translucent coat is of a suitable epoxy resin. If required, several coats may be applied. The translucent coat or coats may be of any required colour and the selection of the colour will determine the overall appearance of the final product.
Thereafter, as a third and final step, a light reflective layer 1 6 is applied over the coat 1 4. The layer 1 6 is a metallic silver coating, such as is normally used in the mirror manufacturing industry.
If required, the second step (i.e. the application of a translucent coat) may be omitted.
When viewing the image of picture 12 from the face 10.2 of the sheet 10, a unique metallic lustre appearance is seen.
The image 12 may be provided in various coats and in different colours. It may, for instance, be shaded or intensified by conventional methods such as spray painting, air brushing, etc. to enhance the aesthetic qualities of the image.
The light reflective layer also could be a metallised vacuum coat or any highly reflective metal or plastic foil available.
Further protective coatings may be finally applied to protect the various layers. One suitable type of coating would be a mirror backing paint coating.
Particular advantages provided by the invention are that a unique metallic lustre appearance is provided in the image and also the image is on the reverse side of the sheet so that it is protected from abrasion.
1. A method of preparing a transparent sheet, which includes the steps of providing an image on one surface of the sheet, and thereafter to provide a light reflective layer on the same surface of the sheet so as to cover the image at least partially.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1, in which the sheet is a glass sheet or a sheet of synthetic plastic material.
3. A method as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, in which the reflective layer is substantially highly reflective.
4. A method as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, in which the reflective layer is a coating or foil or of any other suitable flat form.
5. A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which the light reflective layer is a metallic silver coating.
6. A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which the sheet is a panel or a pane or is in any other suitable flat form.
7. A method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which a translucent layer is applied over the image prior to applying the light reflective layer.
8. A method as claimed in claim 7, in which the translucent layer is a translucent epoxy based, isolating and protective coating.
