Description

PROCÉDÉ ET INSTALLATION DE TRANSFERT D'IMAGES SUR UNE BOUGIE OU UN OBJET EN CIRE ET PRODUITS AINSI OBTENUS METHOD AND INSTALLATION FOR TRANSFERRING IMAGES TO A CANDLE OR A WAX OBJECT AND PRODUCTS THUS OBTAINED
La présente invention a pour objet un procédé de transfert d'images sur une bougie ou un objet en cire, ainsi qu'une installation d'application de ce procédé et les produits obtenus .The subject of the present invention is a process for transferring images onto a candle or a wax object, as well as an installation for applying this process and the products obtained.
II concerne en particulier le domaine industriel de la fabrication de bougies ou de cierges décorés, destinés aussi bien à un usage domestique que professionnel, ou même religieux.It relates in particular to the industrial field of the manufacture of candles or decorated candles, intended for both domestic and professional use, or even religious use.
Différents procédés peuvent être utilisés pour décorer une bougie, allant du simple trempage dans un produit coloré à la peinture manuelle pièce par pièce, en passant par des systèmes de transferts apparentés à la décalcomanie ou à l'impression de type offset, par exemple.Different methods can be used to decorate a candle, ranging from simple dipping in a colored product to manual painting piece by piece, passing through transfer systems similar to decal or offset printing, for example.
Aucune méthode connue ne permet cependant à ce jour de reproduire à 1 ' idendique sur une bougie une image présentant les caractéristiques d'une photographie monochrome ou en couleurs, sans mettre en oeuvre des moyens complexes exigeant une production en séries importantes pour obtenir des prix non prohibitifs . Or il y a tout lieu de penser que des bougies ou chandelles portant des décors variés de ce type présenteraient un attrait suffisant pour assurer un débouché commercial important.To date, no known method allows an image presenting the characteristics of a monochrome or color photograph to be reproduced identically on a candle, without using complex means requiring production in large series in order to obtain non-uniform prices. prohibitive. However, there is every reason to believe that candles or candles with various decorations of this type would have sufficient appeal to ensure a significant commercial outlet.
L'objectif de la présente invention est précisément de permettre de reproduire sur la surface d'une bougie une image de n'importe quel type, et en particulier une photographie en couleurs, et ceci à un coût de fabrication raisonnable.The objective of the present invention is precisely to make it possible to reproduce on the surface of a candle an image of any type, and in particular a color photograph, and this at a reasonable manufacturing cost.
Le procédé consiste à utiliser un système électrostatique de photocopie de documents sur papier ordinaire dépourvu de four de fixation, à appliquer le support portant la copie non fixée sur la surface de la bougie et à le chauffer à une température assurant une fusion superficielle de cette surface ainsi que de la poudre thermoplastique colorée utilisée pour la reproduction de l'image sur le support, cette poudre colorée étant ainsi en grande partie transférée sur la bougie .The method consists in using an electrostatic system for photocopying documents on paper. ordinary without fixing oven, to apply the support carrying the copy not fixed on the surface of the candle and to heat it to a temperature ensuring a surface fusion of this surface as well as of the colored thermoplastic powder used for the reproduction of image on the support, this colored powder thus being largely transferred to the candle.
Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention: la figure 1 est une coupe schématique représentant le principe de fonctionnement d'un appareil de reprographie électrostatique, la figure 2 montre dans les mêmes conditions l'appareil utilisé dans le cadre de la présente invention, la figure 3 représente une bougie à décorer avec le support de transfert en cours de mise en place, la figure 4 illustre la phase de chauffage de la bougie revêtue du support et la figure 5 représente une bougie après retrait du support de transfert.In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention: FIG. 1 is a schematic section showing the operating principle of an electrostatic reprographic apparatus, the Figure 2 shows under the same conditions the device used in the context of the present invention, Figure 3 shows a candle to decorate with the transfer support being put in place, Figure 4 illustrates the heating phase of the candle coated with the support and Figure 5 shows a candle after removal of the transfer support.
Les appareils de photocopie électrostatiques les plus répandus actuellement utilisent le procédé connu sous le nom de "xérographie" mis au point par la société américaine RANK XEROX.The most widespread electrostatic photocopying devices currently use the process known as "xerography" developed by the American company RANK XEROX.
Ce procédé se caractérise notamment par la possibilité de copie sur papier ordinaire et par son aptitude à permettre de grands tirages. La "xérographie", employée depuis 1946, permet d'obtenir des copies sur du papier ordinaire non traité. Elle consiste, au moyen d'un dispositif optique 1 et d'un ou plusieurs miroirs mobiles 2, à projeter l'image du document original 3, éclairé par une source lumineuse 4 appropriée, sur un tambour 5 rotatif recouvert de sélénium, préalablement chargé d'électricité statique positive au moyen d'un filament porté à haute tension souvent appelé "corona" 6. Le tambour, intensément éclairé, libère sa charge électrostatique, à l'exception des parties restées dans l'ombre qui correspondent au document à reproduire. Une poudre thermoplastique, ou toner, chargée négativement et contenue dans un distributeur 7 rechargeable, est ensuite projetée uniformément sur le tambour 5 et révèle l'image latente électrique en adhérant aux parties chargées négativement ; une image poudreuse est ainsi obtenue. Un support récepteur 8, généralement formé d'une feuille de papier, est appliqué sur la surface de sélénium du tambour et reçoit une charge électrique. L'image poudreuse est transférée du sélénium sur le papier au moyen de la charge électrique qui lui est appliquée et est ensuite fixée en la faisant fondre dans la trame de ce support grâce à un four 9 dans lequel passe celui-ci (figure 1). La reproduction ainsi obtenue est immédiate et inaltérable.This process is characterized in particular by the possibility of copying on plain paper and by its ability to allow large runs. "Xerography", used since 1946, makes it possible to obtain copies on plain untreated paper. It consists, by means of an optical device 1 and one or more mobile mirrors 2, in projecting the image of the original document 3, lit by an appropriate light source 4, on a rotary drum 5 covered with selenium, previously charged of positive static electricity by means of a filament brought to high tension often called "corona" 6. The drum, intensely lit, releases its electrostatic charge, with the exception of the parts which remain in the shade which correspond to the document to be reproduced. A thermoplastic powder, or toner, negatively charged and contained in a refillable dispenser 7, is then sprayed uniformly on the drum 5 and reveals the electric latent image by adhering to the negatively charged parts; a powdery image is thus obtained. A receiving support 8, generally formed from a sheet of paper, is applied to the selenium surface of the drum and receives an electrical charge. The powdery image is transferred from the selenium to the paper by means of the electric charge which is applied to it and is then fixed by melting it in the frame of this support thanks to an oven 9 through which it passes (Figure 1) . The reproduction thus obtained is immediate and unalterable.
Pour la reproduction d'images en couleur (non représentée), le principe est exactement le même, le support récepteur 8 passant toutefois sur plusieurs tambours 5 recevant chacun un toner de couleur différente.For the reproduction of color images (not shown), the principle is exactly the same, the receiving support 8 however passing over several drums 5 each receiving a toner of different color.
Dans le procédé selon l'invention, le support 8, qui consiste de préférence en une feuille de papier ordinaire, est retiré directement après passage sur le tambour 5 et ne passe pas par le four 9 de fixation de l'image. Pour obtenir ce résultat, on peut avantageusement utiliser un système de reprographie particulier consistant en un appareil de photocopie 10 électrostatique ne comportant pas de four 9 de fixation de l'image. La face du support 8 sur laquelle a été déposé le toner est appliquée contre la surface latérale d'une bougie 11. Le support est alors chauffé au moyen d'un générateur d'air chaud 12, ou par tout autre moyen adéquat, à une température juste suffisante pour provoquer la fusion de la poudre thermoplastique et de la couche superficielle de la bougie 11 puis, après refroidissement, le support est retiré, laissant sur la surface de cire une reproduction de 1 ' image du document original 3. Ce processus permet de reproduire sur une bougie 11, ou un objet en cire, n'importe quelle image pouvant être photocopiée, sans perte de qualité. Le décor ainsi obtenu est parfaitement stable, le toner et la surface de la bougie formant une seule et même couche.In the method according to the invention, the support 8, which preferably consists of a sheet of plain paper, is removed directly after passing over the drum 5 and does not pass through the image fixing oven 9. To obtain this result, it is advantageous to use a particular reprography system consisting of an electrostatic photocopying apparatus 10 not comprising an oven 9 for fixing the image. The face of the support 8 on which the toner has been deposited is applied against the lateral surface of a spark plug 11. The support is then heated by means of a hot air generator 12, or by any other suitable means, to a temperature just sufficient to cause the thermoplastic powder and the surface layer of the spark plug 11 to merge, then, after cooling, the support is removed, leaving on the wax surface a reproduction of the image of the original document 3. This process makes it possible to reproduce on a candle 11, or an object in wax, any image which can be photocopied, without loss of quality. The decoration thus obtained is perfectly stable, the toner and the surface of the candle forming a single layer.
Les différentes opérations peuvent aisément être réalisées manuellement, de façon artisanale, ce qui permet la réalisation de pièces uniques à la demande. Ces opérations peuvent également être automatisées au moyen d'une installation comportant des mécanismes connus assurant la manipulation des bougies 11, l'application et l'extraction du support 8, ainsi que des moyens de pilotage de l'appareil 10 de reprographie, de ces mécanismes et du système de chauffage 12.The various operations can easily be carried out manually, in an artisanal way, which allows the production of unique pieces on request. These operations can also be automated by means of an installation comprising known mechanisms ensuring the manipulation of the spark plugs 11, the application and the extraction of the support 8, as well as means for controlling the reprographic apparatus 10, these heating systems 12.
Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus par des procédés similaires. The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects which had not, to date, been obtained by similar methods.
