Abstract
Description
- The present application is a divisional of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/248,750, filed Sep. 29, 2011,which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/387,759 filed Sep. 29, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
- Many types of fluid filters are used in engine lubrication systems, hydraulic systems and fuel systems to remove particles from the fluid being circulated. Typically, these filters are secured to and removed from these systems by engaging a threaded spud. In order to facilitate gripping of these filters an exterior surface of the filter is configured to have a textured surface such that gripping of the same by a hand or tool is enhanced. Furthermore and in order to provide the necessary markings to the commercial embodiment it is necessary to provide indicia to the exterior surface of the filter.
- Accordingly, it is desirable to provide an item with indicia disposed on a textured surface in a cost-efficient manner and a method for applying the indicia.
- Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of applying indicia to an item having a textured surface, the method including the steps of: applying a textured paint to an exterior surface of the item; and applying the indicia to the exterior surface by an offset printing process.
- Also disclosed herein is a fluid filter having: a housing having an exterior surface; a textured paint applied to the exterior surface; and indicia applied to the textured paint, wherein the indicia is applied by an offset printing process.
- In another exemplary embodiment, a method of applying indicia to an item having a textured surface is provided, the method including the steps of: applying a textured paint to an exterior round surface of an item via an electrostatic process; curing the textured paint on the exterior round surface; and applying the indicia to the exterior round surface by an offset printing process after the textured paint has been cured, wherein the indicia is an ink that is first transferred to an etched anilox roll, which then transfers the ink to a plurality of pads and the plurality of pads apply the ink to the exterior round surface.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates an oil filter formed in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 illustrates a cross sectional view of the filter illustrated inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 illustrates an apparatus for applying indicia to an item with a textured surface; and -
FIG. 4 illustrates one non-limiting method of applying the indicia to the item in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Referring now to FIGS., a filtering device or
item 10 is shown manufactured according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The item orfilter 10 is configured to be mounted onto a filter mount of an engine or other liquid system requiring filtration. Thefilter 10 is adapted to be operably mounted to and in communication with a lubrication system, hydraulic system, fuel system, or other fluid circulation-type systems that benefit from fluid filtration provided by the assembly. In one application, the filter mount has a threaded spud portion that engages a threaded opening of the filter. Thus, anexterior surface 12 of the filter is grasped by a user's hand or tool to remove and apply the filter. Accordingly, theexterior surface 12 do the housing of the filter will be round or have a cylindrical shape. In order to make this surface easier to grasp especially with the filter being in an environment that would allow the same to be coated with greases, oils, etc. that would make this surface hard to grasp the exterior surface is coated with a textured paint providing a rough surface. However, this round textured surface now poses problems for applying suitable indicia for use in the commercial products. - Thereafter and in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the
present invention indicia 14 is applied to the filter via a dry offset printing process. A non-limiting cross-sectional view of the textured surface is illustrated inFIG. 2 here thefilter housing 16 and the irregular surface of thetextured paint 18 is illustrated. - In order to create this textured surface, specially formulated textured powder paint is applied using a NORDSON electrostatic powder paint system. This system operates by electrostatically charging the powder paint particles and applying them to the grounded product (e.g., item or oil filter) using compressed air to blow the charged material onto the surface in a uniform manner. This dry powder is then liquefied and cured by passing through an infrared oven to bake the finish onto the substrate.
- After passing through a cooling tunnel, the part would directly flow into a
printing system 20 for decoration or application of the appropriate markings. Additional information on the aforementioned NORDSON automatic powder coating systems can be found at here: http://www.nordson.com/en-us/divisions/industrial-coating/products/Powder-Coating/Pages/Default.aspx. Other commercially textured paints are available from Spraylat, Sherwin Williams, Valspar and Akzo Nobel. - Thereafter, the item with the textured surface will be sent to a
printing system 20 wherein the indicia is applied. In one non-limiting exemplary embodiment, the indicia is applied by a FLEXAPEX offset printing process or similar process available from APEXMACHINE Company or others that utilize inking technologies and UV (ultraviolet) cured inks in combination with a dry offset printing process, which allows for the use of multi-colors at high speeds. Other contemplated printing methods include silk screening, high resolution inkjet and equivalents thereof. Some of these processes are available from the following companies Kamen, Allied Decorating Systems (Silkscreen) and Tonjet (High Resolution Inkjet). - A general description of this process can be found at: http://www.flexapex.com/flexapex.html.
- Referring to
FIG. 3 , a non-limiting schematic of theprinting system 20 is illustrated. Here an etched anilox roll 22 receives ink from another roll or application system or any othersuitable process 24. In oneembodiment roll 24 is rotating in a direction of thearrow 26 and roll 22 is rotating in the direction ofarrow 28. As roll 22 rotates in the direction orarrow 28 the applied ink is transferred topads 29 of a rotatingcylinder 30.Cylinder 30 rotates in the direction ofarrow 32 and thepads 29 make contact with the textured surface of the item oroil filter 10, which rotates in a direction ofarrow 34 and applies the ink to the textured surface of the oil filter. Thereafter, the item with the ink applied is moved in the direction of thearrow 36 towards a UV curing station ofsystem 20. In addition, an un-inked (e.g., previously painted with a textured paint)item 10 is fed into a machine or otherequivalent device 38 in a direction ofarrow 40 whereindevice 38 is configured to rotate the item in the direction ofarrow 34 such that the ink is applied bycylinder 30. - In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and by using an engraved anilox roll specific etched depths are provided on roll 22 and thus a sufficient amount of ink or other equivalent material is applied to the three-dimensional textured surface of the
item 10 via thepads 29. In so doing, the applied indicia is visible on a textured surface and thus, lower cost materials such as inks as opposed to higher cost labels and/or sleeves are capable of being applied to the item which lowers the overall manufacturing costs associated therewith. - By using the aforementioned offset process, large volumes of ink are available for the printing of the indicia on the item. In one embodiment, the textured paint is a first color and the indicia or ink is a second color, wherein the first color is different from the second color.
- Although an oil filter is illustrated as one contemplated embodiment, it is understood that exemplary embodiments of the present invention can be applied to other items having textured surfaces and exemplary embodiments of the present invention are not specifically limited to oil filters.
-
FIG. 4 illustrates a method of applying the ink to a textured surface of an oil filter in accordance with one non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In afirst step 50, the surface of the item or the oil filter has a textured powder paint applied to an exterior surface thereof by electrostatically charging the powder paint particles and applying them to the grounded product (e.g., the item or oil filter) using compressed air to blow the charged material onto the surface in a uniform manner. This dry powder is then liquefied and cured onto the exterior surface of the filter or item by passing the same through an infrared oven to bake the finish onto the substrate atstep 52. - Thereafter, the item is passed through a cooling tunnel at
step 54. Once cooled, the oil filter housing or part (e.g., item) is then transferred toprinting system 20 or equivalents thereof atstep 56 for decoration or application of the appropriate markings. - As mentioned above and at
step 56 the indicia is an ink applied via an offset printing process or similar process available from APEXMACHINE Company or others that utilize inking technologies and UV (ultraviolet) cured inks in combination with a dry offset printing process, which allows for the use of multi-colors at high speeds. A general description of this process can be found at: http://www.flexapex.com/flexapex.html. Reference is also made to the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,907,822; 6,526,880; and 6,220,154 the contents each of which are incorporated herein by reference thereto. - Once the ink is applied using
system 20 atstep 56, the item or oil filter with the ink applied thereon is advanced towards a UV curing station atstep 58. - While the invention has been described with reference to an exemplary embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims and their legal equivalence.
