Description

The invention relates to the field of furniture production and can be used in the manufacture of various furniture facades, furniture fittings (handles, handles, decorative ornaments, etc.), as well as in the manufacture of souvenir products.

Currently, direct digital printing using special UV curing inks using industrial large format UV flatbed printers is becoming the most versatile and effective method of decorating surfaces. A UV printer can print on any flat surface, including a hard one, as well as on paper, fabric, glass, plastic and wood (see http://c-a-m.narod.ru/techno/igrushka-system.html).

Various methods are known from the prior art for the manufacture of decorative lining used, for example, in furniture facades, furniture fittings, etc., in which an image is applied to a wooden surface using a UV printer, and then a protective layer is applied to the indicated surface (RU 2534061 C1 , 11.27.2014, see, for example, abstract, description; KR 20100060665 A, 06/07/2010, see, for example, abstract; CN 103895085 A, 07/02/2014, see, for example, abstract; RU 2592342 C1, 20.07. 2016, see, for example, abstract, Fig. 1; KR 101045596 B1, 06/30/2011, see, for example, abstract).

The disadvantages of the above methods are low performance coating, short service life, low wear resistance, difficulty in care, because the wooden surface does not tolerate wet wiping.

Also known from the prior art is a method of manufacturing a decorative patch used in mobile devices, in which an image is applied to a plastic surface using a UV printer, and then a sticker (cover) is put on the indicated surface with holes or cutouts to render the printed image (US 9462093 B2, 10/04/2016, see, for example, the abstract, Fig. 2).

The disadvantage of this method is the abrasion and scratching of the surface with the applied image due to the lack of a protective layer, which leads to a decrease in the quality and clarity of the image.

The closest is a method of manufacturing a decorative lining, in which an image is applied to a plastic surface using a UV printer, and then a protective layer is applied to the indicated surface in the form of a colorless glossy or matte varnish (RU 132965 U1.10.10.2013).

The disadvantages of this method are the low strength and wear resistance of the decorative lining and the low performance of the coating (protective layer) due to the lack of reinforcing elements of the decorative lining, and the use of a colorless glossy or matte varnish as a protective layer, which in turn also leads to a decrease in quality and image clarity.

The technical result of the claimed technical solution is to increase the strength and wear resistance of decorative overlays used, including in furniture handles, as well as improve the quality and clarity of the image.

The specified technical result is achieved in that the method of manufacturing a decorative lining consists in applying an image on a plastic surface with a UV printer, and applying a protective transparent layer to the resulting surface with the image, and before applying the protective transparent layer, a metal sticker is glued onto the resulting image surface, representing a thin plate with the contours of the applied image.

In a preferred embodiment, the image applied to the plastic surface is monochrome or full color.

In a preferred embodiment, the image applied to the plastic surface is made in the form of a pattern, ornament, pattern, mosaic, figure.

In a preferred embodiment, the metal sticker is preferably made of nickel.

In a preferred embodiment, the metal sticker is preferably made of stainless steel.

In a preferred embodiment, the metal sticker is preferably made of brass.

Also, the specified technical result is achieved in that the furniture handle contains a base and a decorative cover made using the above method of its manufacture.

The claimed technical solution is illustrated by drawings, where

In FIG. 1 - General view of the decorative lining;

In FIG. 2 (a, b) - Constructive execution of a decorative lining.

A general view of the finished trim is shown in FIG. one.

In FIG. 2 (a, b) shows a structural embodiment of a decorative lining with the possibility of its fastening to the base (4). The declared decorative patch consists of three components, namely a plastic surface (1), on which a monochrome or full color image is applied using a UV printer; a metal sticker (2), which is a thin plate with the contours of the applied image; and a protective layer (3). As a basis, any surface corresponding to the dimensions of the made decorative lining can be chosen, for example, a furniture handle, furniture facades, decorative tiles, advertising structures, souvenirs, caskets, etc.

A method of manufacturing a decorative lining with its subsequent use, for example, for furniture handles, is as follows.

The plastic surface (1) is placed on the table, while it should be completely in contact with the surface of the table and not have deformations or bends. The presence of scratches and bends of the plastic surface (1) is unacceptable, its edges should be even. Using a UV printer, a monochrome or full-color image is applied to the plastic surface (1), made in the form of a pattern, ornament, pattern, mosaic, figure, or a combination thereof. The image on the plastic surface (1) should be clear and without distortion. Recommended print quality in 1: 1 scale for raster graphics in * .TIFF, * .JPEG, * .PSD and other formats, at least 300 dpi. It is preferable to use formats for vector graphics * .AI, * .EPS, * CDR and others.

The metal sticker (2) should be even, smooth, without scratches and evenly shiny over the entire surface. Using a laser or photo-etching, a metal sticker (2) is made that repeats the contours of the image applied to the plastic surface (1). The metal sticker (2) can preferably be made of nickel, stainless steel, brass, etc.

The protective layer (3) can be made, for example, in the form of varnish, or in the form of a mixture of resin of a two-component solid and hardener, or as a mixture of acrylic and a two-component polymer, or other other components or mixtures having similar characteristics (transparency, hardness etc.).

The plastic surface (1) with the image is fixed on the work surface. Bring the metal sticker (2) to the plastic surface (1) with the image and make a visual fitting of the images of the metal sticker (2) and the plastic surface (1), without touching the adhesive base of the metal sticker (2) to the image on the plastic surface (1) . After making sure that the contours of the metal sticker (2) completely coincide with the image on the plastic surface (1), these parts are glued together to obtain a single part. The application of the protective layer (3) on the surface of the resulting single part is made by uniformly distributing it over the entire surface of the resulting product. Moreover, the amount of applied protective layer (3) may vary slightly based on the desired thickness of the decorative lining.

The next stage of production is either polymerization or coalescence of the protective layer (3), depending on its composition. The process can proceed in two ways:

1. At room temperature. In this case, the decorative overlay is allowed to dry at room temperature for at least 12 hours. After complete hardening of the protective layer (3), a finished decorative overlay is obtained.

2. In conditions of elevated temperature. In this case, the decorative overlay is placed in a dry heat cabinet, or in a special oven for at least 2 hours, preferably at a temperature of 45-50 degrees Celsius.

Quality control of the finished product is carried out by visual inspection of the finished decorative lining for defects.

Not allowed:

1. Bubbles, single or in the form of fine dust

2. Dust and other foreign particles in the protective layer

3. Deformation of the surface of the protective layer

4. Change the transparency of the protective layer

5. The appearance of the rainbow film on the surface of the protective layer

6. The deformation of the decorative lining

7. Separation of the metal sticker from the plastic surface with the image.

The resulting finished decorative trim using adhesive bonding is fixed on the basis of (4), corresponding to its size, for example, furniture handles (Fig. 2A, b).

Adhesive bonding - one-piece bonding of machine parts, building structures, furniture, consumer goods, souvenirs, etc., carried out using glue.

Bonding materials is increasingly used. Bonding compounds possess sufficient tightness, oil and water resistance, and high resistance to vibration and shock loads. Bonding in many cases can replace soldering, riveting, welding, interference fit.

As an adhesive for connecting the finished decorative lining to the base (4), one-component adhesives, two-component adhesives, double-sided tape, epoxy adhesive, PVA (polyvinyl acetate) adhesive and others can be used.

It should be understood that the aforementioned use of a decorative lining in a furniture handle is the preferred option, but not limiting its implementation. As already mentioned above, the obtained decorative overlay can be fixed on any basis (4) corresponding to the dimensions of the made decorative overlay.

This decorative cover can be used in the manufacture of kitchen sets, hallways, wardrobes, countertops, cabinet office furniture, chests of drawers, cabinets, doors, decorative partitions, decorative tiles, advertising structures, souvenirs, jewelry boxes, furniture fittings (handles, handles, decorative decorations etc.).
