Definitions

  • FIG. 30 FIG. I3b
  • the present invention involves the totally different concept of reducing the size of graphic intelligence borne by a carrier member or sheet by physically reducing the dimensions of said sheet.
  • the practice of the invention also involves the application of this concept in the production of reduced size copies of graphic originals.
  • the miniaturized products of the practice of the present invention may, for example, take the form of readily tiled negative or positive transparencies characterized by their high intensity and clarity of resolution, and which are particularly Well adapted for use as slides for photographic projection.
  • the invention contemplates uniaxial size reduction alongr either of two normal axes, as well as simultaneous biaxial size reduction, the degree of size reduction along any given axis being preselectable. While in the illusrtated form of the invention size reduction is accomplished by shrinkage brought about by the application of heat, the invention, in its broader aspects, contemplates any suitable means for eiecting shrinkage of a carrier member bearing graphic intelligence.
  • FIGURES 1 to 4 are fragmentary cross-sectional views on an enlarged scale illustrating one method of producing a reduced size copy of a graphic original by the practice of the invention
  • FIGURES 5 to 8 are views similar to FIGURES l to 3 illustrating another method of practicing the invention to produce a reduced size copy of a graphic original and involving actual transfer of pigment from the graphic character of the original to the copy sheet;
  • FIGURES 9 to 13 are cross-sectional views similar to FIGURES 1 to 8 illustrating a method of producing a reduced size positive and a reduced size negative copy of a graphic original by the practice of the present invention.
  • FIGURES 14 to 18 are cross-sectional views illustrating another method of producing reduced size positive and/ or negative copies of a graphic original.
  • Certain polymeric lms have inherent therein the characteristic that uniaxial or biaxial stretching thereof, preferably at temperatures somewhat above the second order transition temperature thereof, eiiects orientation of the film structure such that the stretched or oriented film is dimensionally stable at normal room temperatures.
  • the present invention contemplates the reduction in size of graphic intelligence simultaneously with and as a result of shrinkage of an oriented polymeric film bearing such intelligence.
  • the graphic intelligence to be reduced may be imparted to the carrier iilm in any suitable manner, but it must be of a character which does not separate from the carrier iilm during shrinkage.
  • the ensuing description sets forth several means by which graphic intelligence is imparted to a shrinkable ilrn incident to the copying of such intelligence from a graphic original. Resort may be had, however, to other suitable means, such as embossing, engraving, etching, coating and the like to impart the graphic intelligence to the film.
  • the shrinkable carrier lm or member used in the practice of the present invention is preferably composed of a high molecular weight, thermoplastic, iilm forming, orientable synthetic linear polymeric material. Included among the synthetic polymers aforementioned are nonheat set polyesters, non-heat set polyamides, polyoletins and substituted polyolefins Some specic examples of suitable polyesters are Mylar polyethylene terephthalate, and the reaction product of ethylene glycol and terephthalic and isophthalic acid in a ratio of 9 parts of terephthalic acid to 1 part of isophthalic acid.
  • Suitable polyoleiins are polystyrene, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, and copolymers of vinyl acetate and vinyl chloride.
  • Suitable substituted polyolens are Kel-F polychlorotriuoroethylene, Saran polyvinylidene chloride, Teflon polyperuoroethylene, and Lucite or Plexiglas polymethacrylate.
  • Suitable polyamides known commercially as nylons are polyethylene caprolactam, metaxylylene adipamide, and hexamethylenediammonium sebacate.
  • an orientable polymeric ilm can be uniaxially or biaxially oriented to various degrees within the limits of the material thereof, and upon subsequent heat treatment, shrinkage will occur along the axis or axes of orientation as the case may be, so long as the oriented tilm is not heat set.
  • the graphic intelligence to be reduced in size may be imparted to the shrinkable iilm in any suitable manner. It has been found that polymeric films of the character under consideration are particularly well adapted for the making of full size copies of graphic originals, and for the subsequent shrinking of said copies to reduced size.
  • FIGURES l to 4 of the drawing illustrate one such method in the practice of the present invention.
  • the numeral 15 indicates fragmentarily and in enlarged section a graphic original comprising a carrier sheet 16 bearing graphic intelligence 17 which may take the form of a printed or other graphic character hav- Patented Dec. ⁇ l14, l9 5 ing differential absorptivity or reflectivity such that upon exposure to radiant energy a heat image is formed thereby.
  • graphic intelligence 17 which may take the form of a printed or other graphic character hav- Patented Dec. ⁇ l14, l9 5 ing differential absorptivity or reflectivity such that upon exposure to radiant energy a heat image is formed thereby.
  • a normally dimensionally stable heat sensitive, shrinkable copy sheet 18 which, in one method of practicing the invention, takes the form of a biaxially oriented, preferably transparent polymeric film which is transmissive of radiant energy and has not been heat set.
  • the numeral 19 indicates a schematically illustrated source of radiant energy which may take a number of forms, including incandescent 4filament lamps, electric arcs, gas Iflash lamps
  • the copy sheet 18 is then subjected to heat treatment at a temperature substantially above the second order transition temperature of the polymeric material of the sheet and below the melting point thereof.
  • This heat treatment may, and preferably does, involve the submersion of the copy sheet in a bath of heated liquid which does not react with said sheet, and which has approximately the same density as the material of said sheet, for example silicone oil.
  • Exposure of the film 18 to the elevated temperature of the liquid bath causes relaxation of the polymeric material of said film and both longitudinal and transverse shrinkage thereof such that said film tends to recover the dimensions it possessed prior to orientation.
  • the etched graphic intelligence 20 is correspondingly reduced in size. Bath temperatures of from 115 to 135 C.
  • the web may -be drawn from a roll through the heated bath in a manner similar to the technique used in the development of photographic film wherein the undeveloped film is drawn through a bath of developer and is guided along a prescribed path by suitable guide rolls.
  • FIGURE 3 schematically illustrates the effect of heat shrinking of the etched film 18 shown in FIGURE 2 when said film is made of certain polymeric materials, for example, polystyrene.
  • the etched area 20 becomes a recessed area in the surface of the shrunken film and a somewhat similar depressed area 26 appears on the side of the film opposite area 20.
  • the film 18 is formed of certain other polymeric materials, for example, vinyls or nylons the etched area 20, ⁇ on shrinkage of the film, becomes a projection on the surface of said film and a recessed area 26 appears on the surface of the film opposite the area 20 as shown in FIGURE 4.
  • the end product is a reduced size transparency of the original 15 which is well adapted for use, for example, as a slide for photographic projection or as a printing plate.
  • the temperature must, of course, not be so high as to cause melting of the film.
  • the rate at which the shrinking proceeds increases as the temperature of the bath is increased.
  • the reason that it is preferable to have the liquid of the bath of approximately the same density as the film to be immersed therein is so tha-t the film, rather than resisting immersion, will readily immerse in the liquid to provide amximum surface contact and heat transfer. Having the liquid of the bath and the film of the same density provides the further and below the melting point of said material.
  • the temperature at which the heat treatment is carried out must be such as to raise the temperature of the temperature of the film 18 substantially above the second order transition temperature of the polymeric material thereof
  • the particular temperatures used vary with the characteristics of the particular polymeric material of the film 18 and can be readily determined by anyone skilled in the art.
  • an oil bath temperature of from to 135 C. has been found to be satisfactory for the shrinkage of 1 to 11/2 mil polystyrene and polyvinylchloride films in the practice of the present invention.
  • satisfactory shrinking of such films has been carried out by other means, for example by exposure to brief, intense irradiation in a thermographic copying machine.
  • Shrinkage has also been carried out satisfactorily in an air circulating oven in which the temperature was C., the shrinkage of a film being substantially completed after a five minute exposure. When lower oven temperature were used more time was required to complete the shrinkage operation. Film shrinkage has also been carried out satisfactorily under a heat lamp and on a hot plate. During shrinkage in other than the liquid bath, the shrinking film may be restrained from folding upon itself by disposition thereof between a pair of fiat slip members formed of material, for example Teflon unoriented polyperiiuoroethylene which is dimensionally stable under the temperature encountered.

  • Differential absorption of the radiant energy results in the formation of a heat image at the character 17"which, in turn, is believed to cause softening of the surface of the film 18' in contact with the graphic character 17 and transfer of portions of the pigment to the softened surface area along with etching of said area.
  • the heat generated causes a boiling of said binder which accelerates the pigment transfer aforementioned, portions of the volatilizable binder condensing on the film 18', and pigment portions being carried over therewith and deposited on said film.
  • FIGURE 6 schematically illustrates the film 18' having a surface area 20' which is an exact duplicate of the graphic character 17 of the original 15.
  • the etched area 20 has disposed thereon :and/or infused thereinto a certain amount of pigment from the graphic character 17' of original 15'.

It is combined with the triphenyl phosphate and the remaining ethyl cellulose and acetone to form a homogeneous solution which is then mixed with the ferric stearate dispersion.
  • the film 18a is placed with the heat sensitive layer 22 thereof in surface contact with the side of the original a bearing the graphic intelligence 17a.
  • the composite of the ioriginal 15a and the film 18a are then subjected to brief intense irradiation from a source 19a, with the result that the absorption of radiant energy Iby the dark colored graphic character 17a causes generation of heat therein and darkening of the portion of the heat sensitive layer 22 ⁇ in contact therewith.
