Abstract

PURPOSE:To apply uniform color having gradually changing color density to a sapphire glass, in high workability, by irradiating a sapphire glass with ultraviolet ray at a controlled rate. CONSTITUTION:A sapphire glass 1 is placed below an ultraviolet lamp 2 keeping a definite distance therefrom. A shutter 3 is placed above the glass 1 at a distance of about 1cm. Ultraviolet ray is radiated from the lamp 2 to the glass 1, and the shutter 3 on the glass 1 is transferred from the point (a) to the point (b) stepwise in about 15sec, and then returned to the point (a) in about 15sec in the course of irradiation. The glass near the point (a) is tinted in dark brown color, and the color is light near the point (b). A uniform product can be manufactured by controlling the condition of the ultraviolet ray irradiation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, wristwatch cover glasses have been decorated by printing, vapor deposition, etc. It has also been practiced to color the cover glass so that its density gradually changes.

This method relies on spraying colored paint, but this method is difficult to achieve a uniform finish on a large number of products. For acrylic glass, it is possible to obtain a glass whose concentration gradually changes by immersing the glass in a solution containing a dye and gradually pulling it up, but this method can only be used for acrylic glass.

This is because the titanium oxide contained in sapphire glass is altered by the action of ultraviolet light. The present invention utilizes this property to gradually change the coloring density by adjusting the amount of ultraviolet rays irradiated to the sapphire glass. This method involves installing a shutter between the ultraviolet irradiation device and the sapphire glass, and irradiating the sapphire glass with ultraviolet light while gradually opening the shutter.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on Examples. The drawings are schematic diagrams showing embodiments of the present invention. Ultraviolet rays are irradiated from the ultraviolet ray irradiation device 2. The 7-eye gazette 1 is placed at a distance of 206 nm from the ultraviolet irradiation device 2. Further, a shutter 3 was installed at a distance of 1 crn, and the shutter 3 was moved stepwise from the position α to the position b above the shutter 1 over a period of 15 seconds, and then returned to the position a over a further 15 seconds. This operation may be performed manually or by using another driving source.
