Description

I iA 1 220 0 28 0 MOUNTING PICTURES TO PRODUCE A DOMED SURFACE This
invention relates to a method of mounting pictures. The term "picture" is used herein to relate principally but not exclusively to photographic prints.
Pictures are normally mounted to provide a required rigidity, and usually a flat surface is provided. The object of the invention is to mount the pic t ures on a domed surface for aesthetic reasons.
According to the invention, a method of mounting a picture comprises assembling a flat picture on a flat sheet metal mount with an interposed adhesive, and pressing the assembly to a concave/convex configuration; and is characterised by the provision of at least one hole in the sheet metal.
The picture and its mount may be circular or oval either before the pressing operation, or after it. That is to say the method can be carried out- on a square or rectangular mount and print which are subsequently trimmed, or any desired shaping can be done first.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:- 2 Figure 1 shows the picture and the flat sheet metal plate which is drilled or punched with a small central hole; Figure 2 shows a contact adhesive applied to one side of the metal plate and also on the back of the picture and allowed to dry until tacky before bringing the two surfaces together and allowing curing; Figure 3 shows the mounted picture now marked out and cut to the size and shape required; Figure 4 shows the flat mounted picture ready for forming by means of a press and suitable die and counter die and the resulting domed picture.
The central hole shown in (Fig.1) allows the escape of trapped air between the picture and metal when forming takes place.
While metal will readily form under pressure and retain the required shape, materials used to produce the picture e.g. -paper prints do not readily conform to compound curvature, and do not retain shape so impressed.
In order to overcome this the picture is bonded to a metal plate with a contact adhesive which secures the picture but which is also flexible and allows for any necessary movement when forming as shown in Figure 4. This allows the picture to be formed into a domed surface and prevents the picture reverting back to its original (flat) form.
The picture surface can also be coated with a A 1 1 3 transparent matt or high gloss finish e.g. subsequently, which gives added stability in preventing the picture reverting back to its original form and may also add to the aesthet presentation.
ic Experiments made by the inventor have shown.
that without the hole, entrapped air tends to accumulate in bubbles giving a lumpy appearance.
With the hole, this does not occur. For large pictures, more than one hole may be used.
