Embodiment Construction

[0027] In Fig. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a net-like material base which can be used as a covering material such as a floor. Merely by way of example (which is not included in the invention and which on the other hand does not in any way limit the scope of protection of the invention), the mesh material base 10 may be formed, for example, by a material with an unvulcanized rubber base . For example, the mesh material base 10 can be made of the same plate material as marked L described in European patent EP-B-0968804 owned by the proprietor of the present invention.

[0028] In the "seeding" station 12, the deposit ("seeding") formed on the mesh substrate 10 is a layer 14 of granular / particulate material, generally composed of particles of rubber (vulcanized or unvulcanized), exhibiting a Contrasting colors.

[0029] "Seeding" techniques are widely described in the prior art, resulting in the formation of a uniform particle layer 14 on the substrate 10, for example as de...

Abstract

A method for producing graphic signs on a covering material includes providing a substrate and depositing on the substrate a particulate material that is able to define the graphic sign. In a preferred way, the particulate material is deposited on the substrate in a substantially uniform way, and is then impressed selectively in the substrate so that where it is subjected to impression the particulate material is fixed to the substrate. The particulate material is removed from the areas where it is not fixed to the substrate. The particulate material is then anchored to the substrate so that the particulate material anchored to the substrate defines the desired graphic sign.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for forming graphic marks on covering materials such as flooring. Background technique [0002] There are many proposals and schemes related to cladding materials including process, and these proposals or schemes can replace each other. The invention relates in particular to flooring, more particularly flooring having a base of synthetic resins such as PVC, rubber and linoleum. [0003] For such cladding materials, the most urgent need is to form graphic marks, such as decorations, characters, signs or trademarks, etc., on the exposed surface of the cladding material (such as the tread of a floor). [0004] The possibility of forming a substantially uniform type of decorative pattern is generally known for all cladding materials, that is to say without producing different variations in different areas of the floor. Of course, it is used on the cladding material, because the adjacent spaces of the cladding ...
