Abstract

This invention concerns a method and a device for the application of a foil or a component on an injection-moulded or vacuum-formed product (7). The foil (1) is attached to at least one of the walls (4) of the moulding tool (3) concerned before the actual moulding of the product (7) using a double-sided adhesive tape (2), where after thermal-moulding only the backing (9) of the adhesive layers (5, 6) of the tape (2) covers the foil (1) applied to the finished product (7) and which backing (9) is easily removable while at the same time the foil (1) in question is securely attached to the product (7). The device for the implementation of the method is characterized in that the walls (4) of a moulding tool (3) have at least one foil (1) temporarily fixed in position against these by means of double-sided adhesive tape (2).

Description

511 352 eller komponent är så gott som omöjlig att avlägsna från produkten och med hjälp av en dubbelhäftande tejp först appliceras mot formväggarna i det verktyg som används för formningen av produkten för att sedan, efter formningen, ha blivit fastgjuten i produktens ytskikt. Efter formningen av produkten har det adhesivskikt som den dubbelhäftande tejpen uppvisar smält bort och, såsom skydd för folien, sitter endast bäraren av tejpens adhesivskikt kvar, vilken är lätt avrivbar för blottläggande av folieskiktet. Före användningen av produkten ifråga kan man således låta bäraren sitta kvar tills produkten skall användas och tjänstgöra såsom ett skyddsskikt för folien. 511 352 or component is virtually impossible to remove from the product and by means of a double-sided adhesive tape is first applied to the mold walls of the tool used for molding the product and then, after molding, having been cast into the surface layer of the product. After forming the product, the adhesive layer exhibited by the double-sided adhesive tape has melted away and, as protection for the foil, only the carrier of the adhesive layer of the tape remains, which is easily tear-off for exposing the foil layer. Prior to the use of the product in question, the carrier can thus be left to sit until the product is to be used and serve as a protective layer for the foil.

Uppfinningen beskrivs närmare nedan med hjälp av ett före- draget utföringsexempel under hänvisning till bifogade ritning, på vilken fig. 1 visar en delvy i tvärsektion genom en verktygs- vägg, mot vilken en folie eller komponent tempo- rärt lägesfixeras med hjälp av en dubbelhäftande tejp, och fig. 2 visar en schematisk delsektion av en färdigformad produkt, vilken uppvisar en folie eller komponent applicerad enligt uppfinningen.The invention is described in more detail below by means of a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a partial view in cross section through a tool wall, against which a foil or component is temporarily positioned by means of a double-sided adhesive tape. , and Fig. 2 shows a schematic sub-section of a finished product, which has a foil or component applied according to the invention.

Såsom framgår av ritningarna och närmare bestämt av fig. l, visas här hur en folie 1, såsom ett ledande skikt, en dekor, en etikett, en informationsbärare och dylikt eller komponent, appliceras mot ett formverktygs 3 formvägg 4 före tillverkningen av en aktuell produkt, vilken formspru- tas eller vakuumformas. Vid fixeringen av folien 1 mot formväggen 4 använder man en dubbelhäftande tejp 2, mot vars ena adhesivskikt 5 folien 1 tryckts fast. Härefter sätts folien 1 fast mot formväggen 4 med hjälp av tejpens 2 andra adhesivskikt 6 på så sätt, att tejpen 2, som förutom adhesivskikten 5 och 6 uppvisar en bärare 9 av dessa, 511 352 befinner sig mellan folien 1 och formväggen 4 efter läges- fixeringen. För att undvika luftspalter eller -bubblor är det lämpligt att fixera folien på formväggens plana ytor.As can be seen from the drawings and more particularly from Fig. 1, it is shown here how a foil 1, such as a conductive layer, a decor, a label, an information carrier and the like or component, is applied to a mold wall 4 of a mold tool 3 before the manufacture of a current product. , which is injection molded or vacuum formed. When fixing the foil 1 against the mold wall 4, a double-sided adhesive tape 2 is used, against which one of the adhesive layers 5 the foil 1 is pressed. Thereafter, the foil 1 is fixed to the mold wall 4 by means of the second adhesive layer 6 of the tape 2 in such a way that the tape 2, which in addition to the adhesive layers 5 and 6 has a carrier 9 thereof, is located between the foil 1 and the mold wall 4 according to position. the fixation. To avoid air gaps or bubbles, it is advisable to fix the foil on the flat surfaces of the mold wall.

Med hjälp av ett lämpligt tryck mot folien 1 och adhesiv- skiktens vidhäftningsförmåga lägesfixeras folien 1 mot formverktygets 2 väggar 4, så att densamma ligger tätt an mot dessa och så att inga luftbubblor uppstår.By means of a suitable pressure against the foil 1 and the adhesive capacity of the adhesive layers, the foil 1 is fixed in position against the walls 4 of the mold 2, so that it lies close to them and so that no air bubbles arise.

Efter det att folien 1 lägesfixerats mot formväggarna 4, formsprutas eller vakuumformas produkten 7, varvid folien 1 så att säga gjuts fast i produktens 7 ytskikt 8, så att foliens 1 utsida 10 ligger i nivå med ytskiktet 8. Detta framgår närmare av fig. 2, där man även avlägsnat bäraren 9 i tejpen 2, som blir kvar efter utstötningen av produkten 7 från verktyget 3.After the foil 1 has been positioned against the mold walls 4, the product 7 is injection-molded or vacuum-formed, the foil 1 being cast into the surface layer 8 of the product 7, so that the outside 10 of the foil 1 is level with the surface layer 8. This can be seen in more detail in Fig. 2 , where the carrier 9 in the tape 2, which remains after the ejection of the product 7 from the tool 3, has also been removed.

Genom att folien 1 vid framställningen av produkten 7 gjuts in i ytskiktet 8, erhålls en mycket säker lägesfixering av denna i ytskiktet 8 och vilken fixering är så stark, att folien 1 ifråga ej kan avlägsnas på annat sätt än att den förstörs. I de fall man önskar, att folien 1 icke skall bli ingjuten i ytskiktet 8 på produkten 7, kan ett distansskikt 11 orienteras runt folien 1 över de aktuella ytpartier av formväggen 4 som ej skall innefatta folien 1 på den färdig- formade produkten 7, varvid åstadkommas, att folien 1 skjuter ut från produktens 7 ytskikt 8 till en sådan grad som beror på intilliggande distansskikts 11 valda tjocklek, som efter utstötningen av produkten 7 från verktyget 3 har en sådan beskaffenhet, att detsamma är lätt avlägsningsbart i likhet med tejpens bärare 9.By the foil 1 being cast into the surface layer 8 during the production of the product 7, a very secure position fixation of this is obtained in the surface layer 8 and which fixation is so strong that the foil 1 in question cannot be removed in any other way than that it is destroyed. In cases where it is desired that the foil 1 should not be molded into the surface layer 8 of the product 7, a spacer layer 11 can be oriented around the foil 1 over the relevant surface portions of the mold wall 4 which should not comprise the foil 1 of the finished product 7, wherein It is caused that the foil 1 protrudes from the surface layer 8 of the product 7 to such a degree as to depend on the selected thickness of the adjacent spacer layer 11, which after the ejection of the product 7 from the tool 3 is of such a nature that it is easily removable like the tape carrier 9 .
