FIELD OF THE INVENTION
THE PRESENT INVENTION relates to a non-siip article and in particular, relates to a non-slip pad or mat.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Non-slip articles such as pads or mats are widely used as computer mouse pads, counter mats, drink coasters, place mats and the like.
Typically, such articles have a lower layer of a soft foam material which can frictionally engage the surface upon which it is placed when pressure is applied thereto Non-slip pads are used to facilitate operation of hand operated control devices such as the computer mouse and are generally knowwas computer mouse pads. A computer mouse generally has a housing and a roller on its lower surface. Movement of the roller ball electronically controls the position of a cursor on a computer screen. Precise cursor location is often required. The work surface upon which the mouse is moved across can influence mouse operation and precision of cursor movement. It has been discovered that movement of the mouse across a textured or embossed surface can improve cursor control. Most work surfaces such as wooden or laminate desks are very smooth and do not allow for accurate or precise mouse control- Accordingly, mouse pads having a textured upper surface have been developed.
It is also desirable that mouse pads have a lower non-slip surface. This prevents the mouse pad from slipping or sliding across the work surface when in use. Typical mouse pads are provided with a rubberised foam layer.
There are many disadvantages with a foam layer whether it be for counter mats or mouse mats. In the case of counter mats and the like, the foam can absorb liquids which are spilled on the counter. Such absorption leads to soiling or degradation of the foam material, Soiled or degraded mats must be discarded. In the case of mouse pads, typically the foam has a thickness of between 0.3 and 1.5 cm. Such a thickness is necessary to provide an acceptable non-slip surface, but does provide an uneven step up 2 from the work surface. This uneven step up can place stress on a perso, i wrist and hand and in particular, after many hours of continuous mousa operation. Such stress and strain can lead to repetitive strain injury an J carpal tunnel syndrome. A further difficulty with the relatively thick foam mals is that they are quiet bulky. This adds to transport and storage costs.
It is therefore desirable to be able to provide a thinner mo 1 sq mat and also counter mats which do not have a foam layer. In the case of mouse mats, there have been a number of proposals to replace the th ck foam layer with an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer may permanently c r temporarily adhere the mat to the work surface. One example is Ul.,.
5508084 which describes coating the lower surface of a mouse mat With repositionable adhesive layer. A suitable adhesive is that manufactured ty 3M and which is used on the well known "Post If' notes. However, there aria a number disadvantages associated with the use of such adhesives. First, Tor permanent adhesives, it is not possible to move the location of the mouse ad across the work surface. Even where the adhesive allows for the mat to b repositioned, the mat must be completely lifted from the work surface and tlis requires lifting the mouse off the mat which is sometimes inconvenient. if further, adhesives tend to collect dust and debris.
Also, having an adhesive surface creates difficulties it h processing sorting, handling and transport. The adhesive surface needs to b covered with a release sheet until it is ready to be used. Providing a reles sheet adds additional cost and an additional step in processing. Also, the L S of an adhesive would be quite unsuitable for use as counter mats or coasters, The liquids which are often spilt in the vicinity of such mats may dissolve or otherwise adversely affect the adhesive.
It is also often desirable for articles such as non-slip mats and pads to have a printed image thereon. Generally, mats and pads are provided with corporate logos or other advertising and promotional material, 3 In the case of computer mats, designs can be printed directy onto the upper textured surface. However, this is not preferred for a numb, of reasons. First, it is not possible to achieve good resolution and fine fir, 1 s can appear blurred or smudged. Still further, printing which is directly an the surface of a mat or pad is subject to damage such as scratching during the lifetime of the article. Inks can also wear off during use and ink particles can interfere with operation of the roller ball. In order to overcome this ddficulty, there has been a proposal to provide a transparent upper layer to a mouse pad and printing the obverse side of the layer, such that the design shows through. This proposal however does not overcome the difficulties associated with printing on plastic sheets and also introduces a further requirement that the printing be reverse printing. This adds complications and cost to the manufacturing process. In US 5,508,084 it has been proposed to use a printed adhesive label as the design layer. An upper transparent layer is adhered to the upper surface of the label so that the design can show therethrough. The lower adhesive surface of the layer can be used to adhere to a work surface as previously described, or can be adhered to an existing 1.5 computer mouse pad or foam pad.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a non-slip article which may at least partially overcome the above disadvantages or may provide the public with a useful choice.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to a first broad form of the invention, there is provided a non-slip article having upper and lower faces, a design layer having first and second surfaces, each surface being printable, a cover layer of which one side forms the upper face, the cover layer and any intervening layers being at least partially transparent such that a design printed on the first surface of the design layer can show through the upper face of the article, and the article further includes a coating of a substantially transparent or translucent non-slip material on the lower face, such that any design printed on the second surface of the design layer can show through the lower face of the article.
The article of the present invention is typically in the form of a pad or mat and in particular, a computer mouse pad.
The article has a design layer which is printable on both 4 surfaces. Typically, the design layer is a celluloses material such as Paperl c r thin cardboard. Alternatively, the design layer may be formed from a pla!ti which can be printed by paper printing techniques.
The article has a cover layer which is typically a substanti Ily transparent iayer of a plastics film. The film may be made from any suitabI3 material and includes polymeric film selected from the group comprising polyvinyls, polyolefins such as polyethylene, polyacrylics, polycarbonate.1, polyacetates, polyethylene terephalate, polyurethanes, mixtures or blerds thereof. The cover layer may also be partially translucent, coloured or hYB opaque regions so as to create a design effect.
The cover layer typically has a textured or microstructu surface, which in use form the upper face of the article. A textured surfac is desirable for mouse pads as it provides a frictional engagement with thB smooth roller ball. This assist in accurate tracking of the mouse ball acrCsS 1.5 the upper face of the pad. The other surface of the cover layer is generally adhered to the first surface of the design layer. Generally, the cover layer ha a layer of a pressure sensitive adhesive on its obverse side to allow it t:) adhere to the design layer- Alternatively, an adhesive may be applied to 'hD design layer. One or more intermediate layers may be placed between design and cover layers. These layers should also be at least parly transparent. They may also be colored or died in any suitable manner so las to create an enhanced design effect.
The article is SISO Coated on its lower face with a substantiIIV transparent non-slip material. This substantially transparent coating may a' be partially translucent or have opaque regions which may contribute tPI 5 design effect.
The non-slip coating is typically formed from a curable ink, Suc i inks typically include an acrylic polymer. The ink may be curable by IN radiation, drying or heating. The ink may be applied by known mean including rolling, printing or spraying. An especially preferred ink is availal)l a from Gallopini Pty Ltd under the tradenarne GP1000. This material is activated by heating at about 1101, to about 1200C.This coating has fil, jEr particles which encapsulate a material which expands upon heating. A typical material is a low boiling point solvent. Upon heating a gas is formed which expands the microparticles- The expanded microparticles provide a non-slip surface coating. Depending upon the thickness of the coating, the S coating may also provide a degree of softness.
The coating layer may be applied directly to the second surface of the design layer, However, when the design layer is a paper material, it is preferred that the article has a further layer of a plastics film located between the coating and the paper. This extra layer can protect the paper layer when the article is in use. Also, where a heat curable coating is applied, it may be desirable to at least partially protect the paper and ink printed thereon during the heating step. In this case, the film itself should also be able to withstand temperature. Suitable film materials are polyethylene, nylon, polycarbonate, blends and mixtures thereof.
The curable non-slip coating can be applied directly to the plastics film. Typically, the plastics film has a pressure sensitive adhesive on one side for application to the design layer. The non-slip coating may be applied to the film either before or after the film is adhered to the design layer.
Curing ma also occur either before or after adherence of the film to the non slip-coating. Typically, the non-slip coating is applied to the film before the film is adhered to the design layer.
According to a further broad form of the invention, there is provided a method of forming a non-slip article, the method including the steps of; Printing a design or one or both sides of a design layer, adhering at least partially translucent cover layer to a first surface of the design layer to form an upper surface of the article and placing a non-slip material on the second surface of the design layer, BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE
Figure 1 is a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention in the form of a mat or pad.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE
Figure 1 shows a cross section of a mat 10 of the presert invention. The mat 10 has an upper textured layer 12 and a lower non-sli) layer 13. The lower layer 13 includes a plastics film 13a coated with a nor slip material 13b. The mat 10 has a design layer 11. The layers 12, 13 a r c s adhered to the design layer by an adhesive 14. The design layer is printed 1 both surfaces with an ink 15. Both layers 12 and 13 are transparent, whi 1 means that the design images on both sides of the design layer can be seell.
The mat can be manufactured by first printing both sides of ti design layer. The upper textured layer 12 can then be simply applied to ti design layer by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive coated thereon. T1 lower layer 13 is similarlly applied to the design layer by means of a presscre.
sensitive adhesive on the film. The assembled pad is then heated to a predetermined temperature for a period sufficient to cure the non-slip coating.
It will be appreciated that in the preferred form of the invention a is mat can be provided with printing on both sides. This has previously not been, possible with the known foam mats. An advantage of having a design visible, an both sides of a mat enables different designs to be printed on the uppe and lower layers. In the case of a computer mouse pad, an attractive desi 311, may be printed such that it can be viewed from its upper surface. Informatlie, subject matter, tables, calendars or other handy reference material may provided for view from the lower side of the mat.
It will also be appreciated that the mat can be made muii thinner than conventional foam backed mats and does not have an adhe4C 1 surface. The thin nature of the mat provides for increased comfort of use by a computer mouse user.
A mat of the present invention may of course be cut into ai:
desirable shape. Accordingly, a mat can be cut to correspond to the size oft postage item such as a postcard or envelope- This allows the mats or articl at of the invention to be posted and delivered through normal postage channe s.
Still further, with the preferred acrylic polymer, non-sl[p coating, it is possit le to write on this coating with a conventional ballpoint or felt tipped pin. T is allows for a delivery address or any other information to be written directly 7 onto the article for postage.
It should be appreciated that various other changes and modifications rnay be made to the embodiment described without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
