Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of using an ink-jet printer (2) to apply a graphic design pattern to substantially plane workpiece (1) and then using a laser cutter (5) to make through-cuts in the workpiece (1) so that items with a two dimensional design are created, which are assembled into a three-dimensional, self-locking and self-supporting construction, without the need for conventional assembly elements, according to a predefined three-dimensional pattern.

Description

METHOD TO PRODUCE GRAPHICALLY AND TWO-DIMENSIONALLY DESIGNED PIECES
The present invention relates to a method according to the pre-characterising part of claim 1.
Background of the invention
Most shops have a need to alter or renew their interior fittings at regular intervals, one example being clothing shops before a new clothing season. Such alteration or renewal must preferably not take long to carry out. In many shops there is also a desire to incoφorate advertising into the fittings. The type of shop fittings required can vary from one shop to another, just as the choice of furnishings varies according to people's tastes when furnishing our homes. For example, there may be a need to modify the size and dimensions of furniture according to the space to be fitted out.
Nowadays most shops have fittings, that is to say counters, shelving and the like of timber material, for example, which are conventionally assembled using bolts and nuts, for example. This also applies to furniture in the home. The material is heavy and assembly of the fittings/furniture takes a relatively long time, whilst the fittings and/or items of furniture are not completely recyclable. Furthermore, there is not much scope for flexibility in the design construction of the fittings or furniture. Any advertising in shops often comes in the form of separate advertising posters or signs.
Object of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a method of creating two-dimensional graphic design items sequentially on one and the same line.
This object is achieved by a method of the generic type in that the invention has the characterising features according to claim 1. The method according to the invention furthermore enables the two-dimensional graphic design items to be assembled into a three-dimensional construction that is self-locking so that no bolts or nuts are required.
The method according to the invention moreover affords the advantages that the material and hence also the assembled three-dimensional construction is lightweight and can be made fully recyclable. The material can moreover be made water-repellent. Since the graphics are incoφorated into the design construction, this also affords the advantage that no separate advertising is necessary.
Brief description of the drawing
The invention will be explained below with reference to the drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 shows a sequential two-dimensional graphic design process on a workpiece,
Figs. 2 to 8 show an example of an assembly of two-dimensional graphic design items into a self-supporting and self-locking three-dimensional construction, and
Fig. 9 shows an example of the graphics incoφorated into the design construction.
Description of the invention
Fig. 1 shows how a substantially plane workpiece 1 moves in a conventional ink-jet printer 2, shown from left to right in the figure as illustrated by the arrow 3, whilst the ink-jet printer applies a graphic pattern to the surface of the workpiece 1 as the ink jets move transversely over the workpiece 1, as shown by the arrow 4. The ink-jet printer 2 is digitally controlled, which means that the appearance of the graphic pattern can be readily modified by means of a computer. Once the graphic pattern has been applied to the surface of the workpiece 1, the workpiece 1 continues its advance, shown from left to right in the figure, and reaches a conventional laser cutter 5. The laser cutter 5 cuts out items 6 of predefined shape from the workpiece 1. The laser cutter 5 is also digitally controlled, which makes it possible to easily modify the shapes of the cut-out items 6. Since the two-dimensional graphic design process is performed sequentially in one and the same line, the processing of the workpiece 1 can be managed by one and the same operator.
The workpiece 1 is made of corrugated board, which is a laminate material comprising two substantially parallel covering layers of paper material and a core of corrugated fibreboard placed between the covering layers, and at least one diffusion layer. Such a material is described, for example in patent application SE0200903-3. The material is suited to use as a construction material for fittings, furniture and other load-bearing constructions. It is furthermore a lightweight material, which facilitates any transporting of the items 6. The material is also recyclable in existing recycling systems, which meets the environmental requirements according to Agenda 21. The material has the advantage over other prefabricated component materials that it has a fire classification. This is of particular importance in the method according to the invention, since the laser cutting process carries a high combustion risk. It has now been shown that the corrugated board is not ignited by the laser cutting.
The two-dimensional graphic design items 6 can then be packed in packagings suited to this puφose. Since the items 6 are substantially flat, they are preferably packed one on top of another in order to make optimum use of the packing space. After packing, the items 6 are suitably transported to the location where the items 6 are to be assembled, for example to a shop.
Figs 2 to 8 show an example of an assembly of two-dimensional graphic design items 6 into a self-supporting and self-locking three-dimensional construction 7. In this example the construction 7 takes the form of a baker with a box which is intended to be filled with bread. Since no separate assembly elements, such as bolts and nuts, are needed, assembly of the items 6 to form the construction 7 is a relatively quick operation. Moreover, since the construction 7 is self-locking no labour-intensive or time-consuming removal of the conventional assembly elements, such as bolts and nuts, from the construction 7 is required should the material be recycled.
Fig. 9 shows how the graphics are incoφorated into the construction 7 in the example above, in which the graphics may have advertising puφoses. This obviates the need for separate advertising signs or advertising posters.
In one embodiment of the present invention any visible edges in the construction undergo conventional edge treatment before assembly, which may consist, for example, of thin strips of suitable material being adhesively bonded to the visible edge, possibly in combination with heat treatment.
The aforementioned material can also undergo a conventional lamination process, which makes the construction 7 moisture-resistant. The workpiece 1 can undergo the lamination process either before the graphic pattern is applied and before the graphic design items 6 are cut out or after both these operations. An alternative to conventional lamination is for the workpiece 6, the graphic design items 6 or the construction 7 to be coated with liquid lacquer or a moisture-resistant paint.
The assembly of two-dimensional graphic design items 6 into a construction 7 in the form of a baker with a box is described above. Since it is easy to modify the predefined two-dimensional graphic design process performed on the items 6 in the ink-jet printer 2 and the laser cutter 5, the method according to the present invention affords great scope for designing the items 6 to the client's special requirements. Thus it is possible to assemble most three-dimensional constructions without departing from the scope of the present invention. The graphic design, for example, need not have advertising puφoses but may simply serve as decoration of furniture, for example, manufactured by the method according to the present invention.
