Abstract
A display system comprises a display substrate 2, including an adhesive layer 5 or other means for attachment to a wall 1, and a micro suction layer 7. A graphic display sheet 3 has a micro vacuum receptor layer 9 on one side that may be provided by a varnish, and a printed display side 11 opposite to the micro vacuum receptor layer. The receptor layer sticks to, and is removable from, the micro suction layer of the display substrate. Thus, the graphic display sheet 3 can be changed without requiring additional micro suction material. Preferably the varnish providing the micro vacuum receptor layer is a silicone free polyurethane based lacquer. There may be release papers 4, 8 attached to the adhesive layer 5 and micro suction layer 7.
Description
DISPLAY SUBSTRATE
Background to the Invention
[0001] This invention relates to a graphic display substrate and a graphic display sheet for removable attachment thereto.
[0002] In many situations, display materials that are attached to walls have to be interchanged frequently. Examples include advertisements or other information in retail establishments.
[0003] A known removable display material is YUPOTako ®, described at http:/ / www.superyupo.com/pdf_infosheets/ english! yupo_tako.pdf. This can be provided in the form of a printed poster, banner or TabeT having a micro suction layer including microscopic voids that will adhere to a smooth surface such as a window or a suitably coated or clad wall.
[0004] This known material can be prohibitively expensive for many uses, as a new sheet of the material is required whenever the information is to be changed.
Summary of the Invention
[0005] From a first aspect, the present invention provides a display substrate comprising an adhesive layer or other means for attachment to a wall, and a micro suction Tayer to which a graphic display sheet is to be removed attached.
[0006] The relatively inexpensive graphic display sheet can be removed and repTaced many times in order to display a succession of different graphics.
[0007] In one embodiment, the adhesive layer and the micro suction layer are provided on opposite sides of a base layer which may be of paper or synthetic material.
[0008] The adhesive layer may comprise a permanent, semi-permanent or removable adhesive. A protective release paper may be provided on the adhesive Tayer; an outer release paper may be provided on the micro suction layer.
[0009] From a second aspect, the invention provides a graphic display sheet having a micro vacuum receptor layer on one side, for attachment to a micro suction layer, and a printed display side opposite to the micro vacuum receptor layer.
[0010] In one embodiment, the smooth surface is provided by a varnish, such as a polyurethane varnish. The printed display side may be one side of a base material, such as paper.
[0011] From a third aspect, the invention provides a display system comprising the display substrate and the graphic display sheet defined above.
Brief description of the drawing
[0012] The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawing, the single figure of which is a schematic sectional view of a graphic display assembly according to an embodiment of the invention.
Detailed Description of ParticuTar Embodiments
[0013] The drawing shows a wall 1, a display substrate 2 for attachment to the wall, and a graphic display sheet 3 for removable attachment to the display substrate.
[0014] The display substrate 2 and graphic display sheet 3 comprise layers etc. 4 to 11. The thicknesses of these are exaggerated in the drawings and are depicted as the same, whereas in reality some of the thicknesses differ by orders of magnitude.
[0015] The display substrate 2 comprises a base layer 6, such as a sheet of paper, card or plastics. A rear side of the base Tayer 6 bears a layer 5 of permanent, semi-permanent or removable adhesive. The adhesive layer 5 is protected by a release paper 4 which is removed before applying the substrate 2 to the wall 1.
[0016] The opposite, i.e. front, side, of the base layer 6 carries a micro suction coating 7. This polymeric layer, including microscopic voids or apertures, is protected by a polyethylene release paper 8.
[0017] The graphic display sheet 3 comprises a base material 10 of widely available paper, card or printable synthetic material. A rear side of the base material is formed at least partially with a smooth surface to provide a micro vacuum receptor 9. For example, the micro vacuum receptor can be high gloss, silicone free, polyurethane varnish 9 that can be tinted or clear and can be applied in a pattern or as a flood coating.
[0018] An image, message or other indicia 11 is printed on a visible side of the base materiaT 10.
[0019] After fixing the display substrate 2 to the wall 1, and removing the external release paper 8, the graphic display sheet 3 is applied to the display substrate. As the micro vacuum receptor 9 is pressed against the micro suction coating 7, air is expelled from the microscopic voids in the latter, forming a vacuum which keeps the graphic display sheet 3 in place until it is to be replaced.
[0020] The micro vacuum receptor 9 improves the attraction between the micro suction coating 7 and the graphic dispTay sheet 3. It creates an air-tight seal between the display substrate 2 and the graphic display sheet, ensuring that they remain in contact; use of paper without a micro vacuum receptor could allow air and/or moisture to enter the contact area and break the seal. Thus, different materials can be used as the base material 10, their adhesion to the display substrate 2 being normalised by the micro vacuum receptor 9.
[0021] Also, the micro vacuum receptor 9 prevents the deposition of paper or synthetic fibres from the base material 10 on the micro suction coating 7. Such fibres could otherwise remain on the coating 7 and significantly reduce the efficiency of the adhesion over multiple changes of graphic display sheet 3, ultimateTy preventing the creahon of a seal.
[0022] Paper may have a surface preparation including calcium and wax.
Synthetic sheets may similarly be coated with waxes, silicones and/or plasUcisers. If these chemical coatings repeatedly come into contact with a micro vacuum material such as the micro vacuum coating 7, they can reduce its adhesion and impair or destroy its sealing capability. However, such coated papers and plastics can be used as the base material 10 in the invention, because the micro vacuum receptor 9 forms a barrier so that the chemical coatings will not reach the micro vacuum coating 7.
[0023] A further advantage of the micro vacuum receptor 9 is that it stabilises thinner base materials 10 by countering surface tension when the indicia 11 are printed on the graphic display sheet 3.
[0024] The invention alTows a frequent change of wall mounted display material without changing the method of attachment. It can be reused many more times than adhesive based systems. As the graphic display sheet 10 can be based on paper, it is environmentally sensitive. Finally, the invention does not require the disposal of any suspension system or attachment means when the display is changed.
[0025] Whilst the display substrate particularly described above is attached to the wall with adhesive, it could alternatively be screwed, stapled or pinned to the wall.
