DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention is directed to a method for preferably selective, region-by-region coating of a transparent carrier plate, potentially composed of clear acrylic glass or the like, with a metallic blocking foil coat, whereby a first chromatic layer is applied to the one side of the carrier plate and a metallic blocking foil is applied adjacent to the chromatic layer in a roller-type embossing process.
2. Description of the Prior Art
German Letters Patent 42 24 463 discloses a method of the above species, whereby a chromatic layer composed of at least one color that converts the hue of the coating effected per se by the blocking foil into a different hue is arranged in at least a specific region of the carrier plate. When the blocking foil, for example, is thereby a matter of a silver foil and a yellow color is employed for the chromatic layer, a coating with a gold hue can thereby be achieved in a cost-beneficial way.
German Letters Patent 38 08 689 discloses a method of the species initially cited wherein, differing from the method of German Letters Patent 42 24 463, the color for the chromatic layer is selected such that the coloration of the coating effected with the blocking foil is promoted. When the blocking foil, for example, is thereby a gold foil, then the gold hue can be intensified by employing a yellow chromatic layer.
The traditional method, as disclosed by the aforementioned publications and of which it is characteristic that no further chromatic layer follows at that side of the metallic blocking foil facing away from the carrier plate, has definitely proven itself. However, it has been shown to be desirable to even further intensify the chromatic impression that is achieved, particularly as viewed from the outside, whereby, thus, the observer views the coating proceeding from the carrier plate side under illumination that likewise proceeds from the carrier plate side.
The invention is therefore based on the object of improving the known method to the effect that the chromatic impression of the finished coating is further intensified, particularly as viewed from the outside, whereby more pronounced chromatic nuances should also be possible upon employment of one and the same blocking foil.
SUMMARY
This object is inventively achieved in that a second chromatic layer is arranged adjoining the blocking foil at that side thereof facing away from the first chromatic layer.
Accordingly, the present invention provides an improved method of manufacturing a colorized carrier plate that comprises the steps of providing a transparent carrier plate, applying a first chromatic layer to the backside of the transparent carrier plate, applying a non-opaque metallic blocking layer on top of the first chromatic layer, and applying a second chromatic layer on top of the metallic blocking layer. By following this method, a carrier plate is provided with improved qualities including enhanced intensity and color control. Specifically, if the first chromatic layer and the second chromatic layer are of the same color or hue, the chromatic impression transmitted through the front face of the carrier plate will be intensified. In contrast, the second chromatic layer is of a different hue than the first chromatic layer, then the resulting color seen through the front side of the carrier plate may be a mixture of the two hues, or a different resulting color based upon the mixture of the two hues. In other words, the selection of the colors for the first chromatic layer and the second chromatic layer may be made depending upon the desired result, i.e. whether it is desired to have a higher brightness level, color saturation level or a specific color derived from the combination of two different hues.
Similarly, an improved colorized carrier plate is provided by the present invention which includes a transparent carrier plate having a a backside, the backside of the carrier plate being coated with a first chromatic layer, and the metallic blocking layer being coated
