Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to methods for coating a surface of a body.
- the invention relates to a method for forming a multilayer structure on a body surface.
- Labels are typically used for marking products. Some labels are formed as a piece of tag that is attached to an exterior surface of the products. Other labels are printed directly onto a surface of the products.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention disclosed herein provides a method for forming a multilayer structure on a surface. Additionally, the preferred embodiment of the invention are suitable for displaying a mark on a surface of a product prominently in the absence of natural light with an appropriate amount of illumination.
- a method for forming a multilayer structure on a surface comprises forming a body having a surface.
- the body is substantially light permeable.
- the method further comprises forming a first layer on the surface of the body.
- the first layer is substantially light absorbing and has a mark formed therein for permeating light therethrough.
- the method yet further comprises forming a second layer on the first layer.
- the second layer is substantially light permeable. More specifically, the mark is illuminatable by light permeating through the body towards the first layer.
- a multilayer structure formable on a surface comprises a body having a surface.
- the body is substantially light permeable.
- the multilayer structure further comprises a first layer formed on the surface of the body.
- the first layer is substantially light absorbing and has a mark formed therein for permeating light therethrough.
- the multilayer structure yet further comprises a second layer formed on the first layer.
- the second layer is substantially light permeable. More specifically, the mark is illuminatable by light permeating through the body towards the first layer.
- a peripheral device comprising a body having a surface and an illuminator contained in the body. At least a portion of the surface outwardly opposes the illuminator.
- the peripheral device further comprises a first layer formed on the surface of the body. The first layer is substantially light absorbing and has a mark formed therein for permeating light therethrough.
- the peripheral device yet further comprises a second layer formed on the first layer. The second layer is substantially light permeable. More specifically, the mark is illuminatable by light permeating through the body towards the first layer, the light being generatable by the illuminator.
- Figs. IA to ID are cross-seciional views that illustrate processing steps for fabricating a multilayer structure according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the multilayer structure upon completion of the processing steps of Figs. IA to ID.
- a multilayer structure according to a preferred embodiment of the invention for forming a multilayer structure on a surface. Additionally, the preferred embodiment is suitable for displaying a mark on a surface of a product prominently in the absence of natural light with an appropriate amount of illumination.
- a peripheral device 100 such as a computer mouse having a body 102 with a surface 104 is shown.
- the body 102 is preferably light permeable so as to allow light from underneath the body 102 to pass therethrough.
- the light is preferably generated by an illuminator (not shown), such as a light emitting diode (LED) contained in the body 102 of the peripheral device 100.
- an illuminator such as a light emitting diode (LED) contained in the body 102 of the peripheral device 100.
- LED light emitting diode
- the body 102 is preferably manufactured from any translucent or transparent material.
- a suitable material for manufacturing the body 102 is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic.
- the body 102 is preferably formed as a unitary structure using an injection molding process. More specifically, the injection molding process involves injecting the ABS plastics into a mold that has a shaped of the body 102.
- a first layer 106 is preferably formed on the surface 104 of the body 102 through a spray coating process.
- the spray coating process involves spraying a layer of paint for coating the surface 104 of the body 102.
- the entire exterior of the body 102 is coated with the first layer.
- the first layer 106 is formed by other suitable methodologies other than the spray coating process.
- the first layer 106 is made of light absorbing material, such as a black or dark coloured paint.
- the light absorbing material preferably substantially absorbs the light generated by the illuminator and blocks the light from passing through the surface 104 of the body 102.
- a portion of the first layer 106 is removed to form a mark 108.
- the mark 108 is preferably formed through the first layer 106 in order to expose a portion of the surface 104 of the body 102. In this manner, the light generated from underneath the surface 104 is able to pass through the surface 104 and the mark 108.
- the mark 108 is preferably formed using a laser etching process.
- the laser etching process preferably involves a laser etching machine for engraving the first layer 106 in order to form the mark 108.
- the mark 108 is formed by other suitable processes for removing a portion of the first layer 106.
- the mark 108 depicts a pattern or word that is illuminated by the light radiated from beneath the surface 104 of the body 102.
- a second layer 1 10 is formed on the first layer 106.
- the second layer 1 10 is preferably formed on the first layer 106 through a coating process.
- the coating process involves coating a layer of translucent material onto the first layer 106, which is preferably different from the translucent or transparent material used for manufacturing the body 102.
- An example of a suitable material for forming the second layer 110 is rubberized translucent paint.
- the second layer 110 is preferably formed to enclose and provide a protective covering over the first layer 106 and the body 102.
- the second layer 1 10 is preferably light permeable and is hydrophobic so as to form a moisture barrier over the first layer 106 and the body 102.
- a suitable material for forming the second layer 110 is polyurethane (PU). Additionally, the second layer 110 provides better tactile sensation to a user and advantageously improves a user's grip on the body 102 during use of the periphery device 100.
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the multilayer structure upon completion of the processing steps of Figs. IA to ID.
- the body, first and second layers 104, 106, 1 10 collectively form a three-layer structure 200 for illuminating the mark 108 with light 1 12 generated from beneath the surface 104.
