Abstract

FIELD: domestic facilities. SUBSTANCE: container has at least one layer of paint and/or lacquer applied completely or partially to container surface. When illuminated with optical irradiation with wave length of from 200 to 400 nanometer, layer of paint and/or lacquer creates luminous pattern, and when illuminated with optical irradiation with wave length of from 400 to 760 nanometer, layer of paint and/or lacquer is optically transparent. Such containers may be used for storage and consumption of food products, preferably liquid products, in public catering enterprises as well as in home conditions. EFFECT: simplified construction, increased efficiency and improved decorative effect. 6 cl

Description

 The invention relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to means of storage and consumption of food products, mainly in liquid form, and can be used in the field of public catering, as well as in everyday life.

 Known metal vessels used for storage and consumption of liquid, bulk and solid foods. They can be made of aluminum and copper alloys, as well as from various types of steel. To enhance the decorative effect, metal vessels can be coated with a relief image or a layer of enamel (Enameling of metal products / ed. By V.V. Vargin / M .: Engineering, 1972, p. 12).

 Wooden vessels are known (NI Kovalev. Tales of Russian cuisine. M., Moscow Worker, 1989, pp. 241-243), used for storage and consumption of liquid, bulk and solid foods. Depending on the purpose, the wooden dishes had a different external shape. However, both festive and everyday dishes were decorated with carved patterns, as well as a pattern. Wooden dishes decorated with a pattern (the so-called painted wooden dishes)? known since antiquity. Regardless of the place of manufacture of the wooden blanks of a given shape, they were primed with a clay solution, raw linseed oil and tin powder, the soil layer was dried, a pattern was applied, preferably in the form of a vegetable ornament, covered with varnish based on linseed oil and quenched in ovens. The products acquired an amber hue due to the heated varnish, through which the tin primer had the appearance of a golden image.

 A ceramic container is also known, which is also used for storage and consumption of liquid, bulk and solid food products, as well as cosmetics (ibid., Pp. 243-244). This dish has an arbitrary shape and is a blank made of ceramic material and annealed in a furnace at high temperature. Regardless of the source of raw materials and further use, ceramic dishes are covered with a layer of glaze, creating a decorative effect. A layer made of paints based on metals and their oxides (the so-called polychrome painting) could be applied under the glaze, creating an additional decorative effect after firing.

 Known container for food products in the form of a bottle (GB, patent 1487969, B 65 D 23/02, 1977), having on the surface an image that creates a decorative effect.

 A disadvantage of the known capacities is the invariance of the image creating a decorative effect, as well as the manifestation of a decorative effect only when illuminated by visible radiation with a wavelength of 400 to 760 nm.

 The technical problem to which the present invention is directed, is to develop a tank with enhanced decorative effect.

 The technical result obtained as a result of the implementation of the invention is to improve the interior of residential and public buildings when using a source of near-UV radiation in the room.

 The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that at least one layer is located on the surface of the container, made in whole or in part by applying paint and / or varnish, creating a phosphorescent image when illuminated with optical radiation with a wavelength of from 200 to 400 nm and optically transparent at illumination with optical radiation with a wavelength of 400 to 760 nm. In addition, at least part of the specified layer can be made with paint and / or varnish, creating a decorative effect when illuminated with optical radiation with a wavelength of 400 to 760 nm and optically transparent when illuminated with optical radiation with a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm. Also, a second layer can be additionally deposited on the surface of the container, located under a layer that creates a phosphorescent image and is made with paint and / or varnish, exhibiting a decorative effect when illuminated with optical radiation with a wavelength of 400 to 760 nm and optically transparent when illuminated with optical radiation with a length waves from 200 to 400 nm. Two layers can be sequentially deposited on the surface of the container, the inner layer exhibiting a decorative effect when illuminated with optical radiation with a wavelength of 400 to 760 nm and optically transparent when illuminated with optical radiation with a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm, and the outer one creates a fluorescent image when irradiation with radiation with a wavelength of from 200 to 400 nm, while the outer layer is transparent for irradiation with a wavelength of from 400 to 760 nm. In this case, the outer layer is located completely or partially on the inner layer. The layer located on the surface of the container is preferably made in the form of a pattern. The second layer is also preferably made in the form of a pattern. Drawings in both layers can be arranged mutually independently on the surface of the dishes. The drawings on both layers can be the same and different. To obtain a layer of the image visible when illuminated by radiation with a wavelength of 400 to 760 nm, conventional printing inks can be used. To obtain an image layer visible when illuminated by radiation with a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm, paints capable of creating a phosphorescent glow when illuminated by radiation with a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm can be used.

 The invention can be illustrated by the following examples.

 1. A full-color image with the name of the drink, the trademark, and the details of the manufacturer is applied to the container for storing and drinking soft drinks such as Fanta. A layer of the upper image is applied to the formed lower image, made by the indicated colors of the Termo-Jet series and containing an advertisement for a similar drink prepared for release. When illuminated in a store or at a catering enterprise, only the lower image is read by visible light, and when illuminated by alternately visible and UV illumination with a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm, the lower and upper images alternately appear.

 2. The name of the wine, as well as its consumer characteristics, is applied to the label of the wine bottle with ordinary paints. On the label with the use of paints capable of creating a phosphorescent image, an advertisement is made of the company that made the wine. At night, when the bottle is illuminated with a UV source, an image of the company’s advertisement appears.

 3. On the surface of the containers with drinks standing on the bar, using paints that can create a phosphorescent image, apply a picture that repeats the names of drinks in containers. In the dark or when the bar is darkened, illumination of the surfaces of containers with a UV radiation source will create an additional decorative effect.

 The above examples do not exhaust the possible options for implementing the invention.

 The use of the invention in various options for applying and lighting the image will improve the interior of the premises.
