Benefits of technology

The method produces a uniform, attractive dye image visible only from the front face of the screen mesh sheet without obstructing the view through the rearward face, suitable for fine mesh screens and requiring inexpensive, easily executed equipment with minimal skill, enhancing color intensity per unit area.

Problems solved by technology

Yet prior methods often clog the mesh openings, so that the view through the screen mesh sheet is marred.
This substantial aesthetic defect is highly pronounced where the screen mesh is very fine.

Embodiment Construction

[0031] The resulting display in the form of a dyed screen mesh sheet 10 presents an attractive and uniform dye image I which is clearly visible from the sheet 10 forward face and entirely invisible through the sheet 10 rearward face, and in no way obstructs the view through the sheet 10. The screen wires 16 may be formed of metal, plastic or other material.

[0032] While the invention has been described, disclosed, illustrated and shown in various terms or certain embodiments or modifications which it has assumed in practice, the scope of the invention is not intended to be, nor should it be deemed to be, limited thereby and such other modifications or embodiments as may be suggested by the teachings herein are particularly reserved especially as they fall within the breadth and scope of the claims here appended.

Abstract

A method is provided of placing pigmented material onto a screen mesh sheet made up of screen wires having forward surfaces and defining mesh openings between the screen mesh wires and having a screen mesh sheet forward face and a screen mesh sheet rearward face, using a foam sheet formed of yieldable material and having a foam sheet forward face and a foam sheet rearward face, and using a substantially planar support surface, comprising the steps of: placing the foam sheet rearward face against the substantially planar support surface; placing the screen mesh sheet rearward face against the foam sheet forward face; applying force against at least a region of the screen mesh sheet to receive the pigmented material, in the direction of the support surface, thereby pressing the region of the screen mesh sheet into the foam sheet forward face such that foam sheet material bulges into mesh openings in the screen mesh sheet; and spraying the pigmented material onto forward surfaces of the screen wires. A display apparatus is provided including a portion of mesh screen having two sides; a display comprising an image affixed directly to said portion of mesh screen; one of the sides being the application side of the mesh screen to which the display is affixed and visible; and a second side from which the display is not visible.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09 / 189,182 filed on Nov. 10, 1998.[0002] 1. Field of the Invention[0003] The present invention relates generally to the field of stenciled artwork and methods of producing such artwork. More ifs specifically the present invention relates to a method of applying one or more colors of dye to a screen mesh sheet to create an artistic image, so that the dye does not clog screen mesh openings and adheres to and is visible from only on the side of the screen mesh sheet to which it is applied. The present invention further relates to the resulting dyed screen mesh sheet.[0004] The method includes the steps of wiping down a screen mesh sheet with a cleaning agent; placing a yieldable foam sheet on a substantially planar support surface; placing the screen mesh sheet face to face against the foam sheet; applying force against at least a region of the screen mesh sheet to be dyed in the direction of the support surface,...
