Relief label with artificial ageing for clothing

Abstract

 The relief conformation of the label can be obtained by means of printing with a high frequency forming device which causes the material melting and shapes it. The same label is then threated, according to the drawing, with varnishes that can be easily ta­ken away. The label is then submitted to an erasion action which diffusely removes the varnishes particularly from the reliefs in order to cause a wear visual perception. At last the label is threated with protecting resin varnishes which allow the image to last.

Description

[0001] Object of the invention is the idea of manufacturing coloured relief labels which allow the visual perception of a prolonged wear, thus meeting particular requirements of clothing industry. In the young section of this one, ordinarily defined as "young fashion", clothing pieces are currently employed often in raw type material with gaudy colours which show traces of prolonged use and several patches. All that in order to give rise to a visual perception and easy agibility in clothing pieces often carried out with poor value materials. In this type of clothing, labels are currently widely used which charac­terize the dress piece by means of images with high ornamental effe­ct, such as personages of cartoons and with several references to deeds and things.

[0002] The invention enables to carry out coloured relief labels with arti­ficial ageing on industrial scale, thus offering two possibilities of employ: either to allow to suit the effect of the label fitted on the dress piece already carried out in a similar way, or to fit the label showing marked ageing spurs on dress pieces which, on the con­trary, do not show them, thus allowing to open a new canal in this particular sector of the clothing industry. In this way, the conven­ tional clothing piece will be characterized by the presence of one or more labels in particular showy form, since carried out in re­lief, coloured and worn out. The worn out state of the label will thus make precious the piece: this because the type of fitting, the employ of a worn out dress piece on a new one, at first sight will lead to attribute at least a certain instrinsic value to the first one. Substantially the relief conformation of the label can be obtained by pressing with a high frequency welding machine for plastic materials. The forming mould sunk on the material causes its melding and shapes it according to the drawing. This one is then made evident with different processings with varnishes to e­asily take away. The artificial ageing of the label thus obtained can be carried out in different ways with abrading action which causes an irregular partial removal of the varnish particularly on the reliefs.

[0003] In a version, ageing can be obtained by means of irregular manual or mechanical brushing. In another version, ageing is obtained by dipping the labels in presence of abrasive substances in container which is then set in motion.

[0004] An execution form is illustrated in a merely indicative, and con­sequently not limiting way of the proceeding, in the drawings of table 1. Fig. 1 is the schematic view of the printing phase with high frequency welding machine which determines the relief label starting from the plate support in plastic materials obtained by means of punching. Fig. 2 is the perspective view of a varnished label. Fig. 3 is view of the same image of the previous figure al­ready underlying to the abrading action for the artificial ageing. From fig. 3 infact, it can be noted that the abrading action on the label has caused an irregular removal of the varnish.

[0005] The system here illustrated employs the high frequency welding machi­ne with movement piston 1 for column 2 which, on base 3, bears the forming pressing device 4 acting on the punching support 5 in plastic materials and fitted on the collation plane 6. In the present execu­tion form for carrying out the label, this one is manufactured in two colour types 7 and 8, as it can be noted from fig. 3, have been par­tially and irregularly removed according to a specific methodology apt to satisfy a subjective ideographic requirements.

[0006] The label can be manufactured in any possible material, of either on­ly one or more components of different kind, and anyhow applied in connection with the employ requirements. Printing can be carried out on each punching body or on a continuous supporting wall, with the possibility of subsequently determining in the label cutting phase. As far as colouring is concerned, any known working proceeding may be used, as well as the varnishes used with additives and different integrating materials. In particular full field smearing on the al­ready coloured support and already submitted to abrasive treatment in resin varnishes, allows the integration and inclusion of the whole, which has already been treated in a transparent protection covering of suited thickness which allows to the labels to persist in the time and guarantees its conservation.

Claims

1) Relief label with artificial ageing for clothing, characterized by the fact that the rilief conformation can be obtained by press­ing with a high frequency welding machine for plastic materials. The shaping press sunk on the material causes it to melt and shap­es it according to the design. This one is then made evident with different proceedings with easily removable varnishes. The artifi­cial ageing of the labels thus obtained can be carried out in diffe­rent ways with abrading action which causes an irregular partial removal of the varnish on the reliefs.

2) Relief label with artificial ageing for clothing, as per claim 1, characterized by the fact that, in a version, ageing is obtained by means of manual or mechanical irregular type brushing.

3) Relief label with artificial ageing for clothing, as per claim 1, characterized by the fact that, in another version, ageing is ob­tained by dipping the labels in presence of abrasive substances in container which is then set in motion.

4) Relief label with artificial ageing for clothing, as per previous claims, characterized by the fact that the high frequency welding machine with piston (1) is used for moving column (2) bearing the forming mould (4) on the base (3) acting on the punching support (5) in plastic materials fitted on the checkin plane (6).

5) Relief label with artificial ageing for clothing, as per previous claims, characterized by the fact that the full field smearing on the support already coloured and treated with abrading action, with resin varnishes, allows the integration and enclosing of the assem­bly already carried out in a trasparent and protecting enclosure with adeguate thickness, which allows the permanence of the label and guarantees its convervation.
