Definitions
- This invention relates -to a process for producing film bearing designs.
- An object of the present invention is to produce a flexible lm bearing any desired design or printed effect in any number of colors, with proper registering of various parts of the design.
- Another object of the invention is to produce a flexible lm bearing a design which will permanently remain, in spite of mechanical wear of the surface of the lm.
- a flexible film may be produced having a design embedded in one side thereof, the design having an exposed surface flush with the surface of the film on that side.
- a film maybe subjected to considerable wear without significant injury to the design.
- the design of a film produced by teachings of the present invention is more resistant to solvents accidentally spilled thereon, because of its embedded arrangement.
- a further feature of the invention is that the design portion of the film may be integrally bonded with the supporting portion.
- Another object of the present invention is to produce a film bearing a, design, the film being free from stresses so as to be capable of lying fiat on a plane surface-that is, to produce a designed film which is not buckled or irregular.
- Another object of the present invention is to produce an ornamental film bearing a design or printed effect on one side and bearing an undulated or frosted effect on the other side.
- Another object of the invention is to produce jacket-like articles having walls of flexible film, with a design or printed effect on a side of one lwall and an undulated effect on a side of the other 2 en in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
- Fig. 1 is a plan View of a film having embedded in one side'a printed design, the opposite side being smooth.
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary cross sectional view of 4such a lm as that shown in Fig. l, showing the design with exaggerated thickness.
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of a face of a film bearing an embedded design, said film having on its other face an undulated surface, a corner of the film being folded back.
- Fig. 4 is a plan view of the undulated surface of the film shown in Fig. 3.
- Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a fllm such as that shown in Figs. 3 and 4, showing the design with exaggerated thickness.
- Fig. 6 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of a c arrier bearing a design over which a'film-forming substance has been applie
- Fig. 7 is a schematic view in side elevation of apparatus for continuously producing a film bearing a design embedded in one surface, the figure including elements which may be used to produce an undulated effect on the other surface of the film.
- Fig. 8 is a plan view of one in Fig. 7.
- Fig. 9 is a view of a bag having a design on one side and an undulated effect on the other side.
- the present invention isv especially applicable for producing film comprising a main body or supporting portion and a design portion embedded in a side thereof, both portions being of a Wide of the rollers shown possible variety of film-like materials.
- the design 'and also the supporting portion may be formed from dispersions, emulsions or solutions of all most any film-forming substance which may be put into a fiuid or liquid state, such as vinyl resins, cellulose derivatives,4 natural or synthetic rubber, waxes and parafiins, polyamides, and the like.
- the teachings of the present invention make it possible to form a design froml a solution which includes a relatively important amount of solvent for the supporting portion of the film. It may be noted that.diiliculties arise if attempts are made to print a design on a previously-formed film, with such a substance, since the lm would be attacked or partly dissolved by the solvent in the solution from which the design portion is formed. For the sake of illustration, it may at first be assumed that it is desired to produce a film having a supporting portion formed from an organosol including a copolymer of vinyl acetate and vinyl chloride, with a colored design embedded Alternatively, the carrier could be therein, the design being form'ed from a solution including this samearesin. In the illustration,
- Fig. 5 there is asimilar exaggeration of the thickness of the design relative to its width. The entire thickness of the iilm is shown in this figure in order to illustrate the undulated surface opposite the design.
- Fig. 7 The apparatus makes use of a continuously advancing carrier 20, upon which the lm will beformed.
- the carrier is in the form of an endless belt, and is of a metallic substance, such as nickel.
- Vinyl acetate-chloride copolymer 100 Dioctyl phthalate 33 Methyl ethyl ketone 1000 Titanium dioxide 50
- VYNS Vinyl acetate-chloride copolymer
- Dioctyl phthalate 33 Methyl ethyl ketone 1000 Titanium dioxide 50
- the design may be formed from a resinous-like, paint-like, lacquer-like, ink-like or rubber-like substance. It may include resins such as the vinyl resins, a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone, hexone, cyclohexanone, acetone, or a mixture of these solvents, with or without a diluent such as xylol or the like.
- a plasticizer may be used or not, as desired.
- the plasticizer may, for example, include dioctyl phthalate, dibutyl sebacate, castor oil, or the like. Fillers and pigmenting agents may be added if desired.
- the term pigmenting agent as used in the present application ⁇ will be understood to cover dyes, phosphorescent and iluorescent materials, metallic flakes, other coloring material, opaque substances such as carbon black and chalk, and the like.
- this substance being used, wound upon another reel. It could be formed of strong relatively heavy paper having applied to one or both of its surfaces a rmly adhering coating of a base material capable of providing a smooth surface to which the lm to be formed thereon will be likely to adhere.-
- the coating of base'material should be of such composition that it will not be attacked by solvents or diluents of coatings which will be applied thereto.
- the apparatus may be considered iirst at station A.
- the carrier is uncoated, if of metal, or if of some material such as paper which makes use of a permanently adhering base coating, the carrier is uncoated except for this permanent base coating.
- the carrier 20 in the illustration moves in a generally counterclockwise direction around the entire loop, being moved by means to be described at a later point. From station A it passes through a set of tensioning rollers 2l, 221 and 23, and then passes over an engraved roller 24. This roller is mounted so as to be partly submerged in lmforming substance 25, held in a container 26, and is caused to rotate in a clockwise direction by the motion of the carrier over it. v
- Fig. 8 is a plan view of the engraved roller 24. It is observed that this roller carries a design in intaglio.
- the design may be of many different forms; that is, it may comprise a plurality of small designs, or may be in the form of lettering, ne lines such as lacework, a silhouette, dots such as a halftone picture, or may take other forms.
- a plasticizer such as may be an organosol emulsion, dispersion, or other uid nlm-forming substance.
- this coating of film-forming substance is applied to the then lower surface of the carrier in an area corresponding to the configuration of the desired design.
- the carrier is then passed under a guide roller 28, which contacts the uncoated surface of the carrier.
- the carrier then passes over a heating roller 29, the purpose of which is to dry the design, at least partially. This drying step may in some cases be omitted, if care is taken not to smear the design at later stages in the process.
- the heating roller 29 may conveniently be provided with ⁇ steam pipes which pass longitudinally through it, or with other means for heating same.
- the carrier may be printed with apparatus of the rotogravure type, or of other types.
- the carrier bearing its design is then passed through a coating apparatus, and a layer of lmforming substance formed over the design.
- This layer may be continuous, and will ordinarily extend beyond the design and contact the carrier in certain areas directly.
- the coating apparatus may be of a wide variety of forms.
- the carrier may be advanced by a driven, rubbercoated roller 30, rotating counterclockwise, pressed against the lower, uncoated, surface of the carrier.
- Cooperating with this roller is a roller 3
- Roller 3l has a smooth, preferably metallic sur- ⁇ face. As indicated, this roller 3l rotates in a" counterclockwise direction so as to oppose the motion of the carrier, but since roller 30 has a l" rubber surface and roller 3
- a roller 32 preferably having a smooth, metallic surface on the left of roller 3
- a trough 33 partly formed by rollers 3
- This film-forming substance will form the main or supporting portion of the finished lm.
- the wide variety of its possible composition has previously been indicated.
- the substance from which the supporting portion of the lm is formed should have an adhesive ainity relative to the substance from which the design is formed, and preferably should form an integral bond with same. hand, both the design and the supporting portion should be only lightly adhesive to the carrier in order that they may be readily stripped.
- the nlm-forming substance to be used as the supporting portion of the lm is an organosol.
- This organosol may be made by known methods, and various formulas may be used.
- An illustrative formula for the organosol may comprise a vinyl acetate-chloride copolymer, a plasticizer, a relatively high boiling diluent and a lower boiling diluent.
- the vinyl acetate-chloride copolymer may conveniently be the product of Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation known by the trade name VYNV-l, or a similar product. Dioctyl phthalate is a satisfactory plasticizing agent.
- Xylol or the similar product, Solvesso, the latter being a trade name of Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, may satisfactorily be usedas a relatively high boiling diluent, and as a lower boiling diluent, Apco, a product of the Anderson Pritchard Oil Company, or a similar product, may be used.
- VYNV-l Vinyl acetate-chloride copolymer 1000 Dioctyl phthnimp 50o XVIOI r Solvesso 200 Apco 49p
- VYNV-l Vinyl acetate-chloride copolymer 1000 Dioctyl phthnimp 50o XVIOI r Solvesso 200 Apco 49p
- the time of grinding and the optimum temperature will be determined by the nature and ratio of the components. As an example, grinding for about 24 hours may be necessary, and for some mixtures the temperature should be about 100 F.
- the organosol may be held in a mixing vat 34 and supplied to the trough 33 through a pipe 35.y An even coating of organosol is thus applied to the roller 3
- FIG. 6 is shown a fragmentary cross-sectional view of the carrier 20 bearing the design over whic film-forming substance has been applied. I is observed that the view shows neither the lower surface of the carrier nor the upper surface of the layer of nlm-forming substance, but-shows the arrangement by which the design portion and the continuous layer of film-forming substance over it rest on the upper surface of the carrier during the process of forming the film.
- the carrier may now be passed through a drying and fusing oven, and the lm stripped from the carrier. If, however, it is desired to produce a film having the side opposite the design undulated, as shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 5, the carrier may be passed through a short oven such as 36 in Fig. 7, or other heating means where the lm is exposed to a controlled temperature for a brief period of time, and then a swelling agent may be applied to the film, such as by a spray 31. In some cases the undulated effect may be obtained without the use of a heating means represented by the oven 36. For more complete details of the method for obtainingan undulated surface and the type of swelling agent to be used, reference is made to the pending application Serial No. 635,982 previously mentioned.
- rier is then in any case passed through anoven 38 with drying and fusing sections 38a and 38h, which operate in a conventional manner.
- a suction apron generally indicated by the numeral 39.
- This apron may comprise a roller 40 driven by means not shown, a guide roller 4
- the carrier 20 rests on the belt 43, and means not shown are provided for creating a subatmospheric pressure underneath the perforated belt, so that the carrier is sucked or drawn down against the belt 43. Since the belt is driven in a generally counterclockwise direction as shown, it advances the carrier to the left as desired.
- the carrier is then passed over a guide roller 44.
- a roller 45 which cooperates with the roller 44 in stripping lthe film from the carrier, and a reel 46 on which the lm is wound.
- the carrier is then passed around a driven guide roller 41, and there may be provided a driven bufllng brush 48 at this point the purpose of which is to clean the carrier so that it will be ready to begin its circuit anew.
- an important feature of the present invention is that the design-is, actually embedded in one side of the film, and the surface of the design is ush with the surface of the lm on that side.
- tbe supporting portion of the nlm may include a fluorescent or phosphorescent material, and the design may include a relatively opaque substance which will act as mask or shield, preventing or diminishing the transmission of light emitted by the fluorescent' or phosphorescent material.
- the background and the design may be of contrasting colors. There may be a number of designs of diiierent colors, all embedded in the same lm. Various combinations of fillers and pig-l menting agents may be included in the design and in the supporting portion.
- the design may be made of a material somewhat similar to the supporting portion of the film, but the lower molecular weight; for example, both may include copolyf mers of vinyl acetate and vinyl chloride, but by using the components in different proportions, copolymers of different average molecular weights may be obtained. These copolymers will have the desirable feature of adhering strongly one to the other, but the one of the lower molecular weight will be more soluble thanv if it were of a higher molecular weight. Since a high concentration of resin is important in the design in order to bind a high concentration of coloring material, it is possible in this way to obtain rich, vivid colors by causing large quantities of resin to go into the solution from which the design is printed.
- Another modification of the present invention is to make the design and supporting portion of the same type of material, except for possible differences in color. In this way they will have the same melting point, and there is no danger of the design being melted off of the supporting portion during such operations as ironing the film. Similar results may be obtained by using different substances which have approximately the same melting point.
- Another modification of the invention is to produce an intentionally smeared design. In this case it is only necessary to use, in the nlm-forming substance of which the supporting portion is made, a good solvent for the design. Various artistic patterns may be obtained in this manner.
- the solvent used in the upper or supporting portion should be a poor solvent for the design. This may sometimes be accomplished by using in the design and in the supporting portion polymers or copolymers which are similar but of different average molecular weight, using a higher molecular weight in the design than in the supporting portion.
- Fig. 9 It is possible by the teachings of the present invention to pro,- prise a jacket-like or bag-like article having two walls of film which are united in one region and separ..ble in another region, one of said walls bearing an embedded design. If desired, the other wall may have an undulated surface, as in Fig. 9.
- a. design of ,nlm-forming substance is rst formed on a carrier and may then be dried. ⁇
- a layer of a lmof a substance which is relatively non-adhesive to said layer is then applied to an areaof said layer, leaving an area exposed, such as at the margin. This non-adhesive coating may then be dried.
- Another layer of a nlm-forming subtance which may be the same as that of which the firstlayer was formed, is then applied over said non-adhesive coating and to the exposed area of the rst layer in the shape of the other wall of said article.
- the article may then be dried. fused and stripped from the carrier, it no undulations are desired. If ⁇ undulations are desired, before drying the last layer of nlm-forming substance completely, a' swelling agent will be applied to its surface.
- a whole series of connected jacket-like articles can be formed from continuous layers of film-forming substances on a carrier, and these layers severed at the proper points to form the desired articles. This would be an alternative procedure to that of forming the layers of film-forming substances in the shape of the desired walls.
- Another modification of the present invention is to-produce labels having printed or other deforming substance which is adhesive relative to said design is then formed over said design in the desired shape of one wall of the article,
- a still further mo cation is to form films having embedded des gns, such as those shown in Figs. 1 and 2, by the method described, and
- nlm may be so thin as to be non-selfsupportable.
- a still further modification of the invention is to produce a lm bearing a design embedded in one side thereof, and a design in relief on the other side.
- a lm bearing an embedded design would first be produced by the steps described above, and before stripping the ilm from the carrier, a design may be printed on the top side of the film. Variations in the relative registration of the top design with the embedded design may be used to obtain useful and ornamental effects.
- the filmforming substances from which the design portion and the supporting portion, respectively, are formed are so chosen that when dried the design portion is .more elastic than the supporting portion. This feature, in addition to the embedded feature of the design, improves the durability or permanence of the design.
