Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a hydrocarbon gel pad with adhesive properties that can function as a non-slip pad while retaining the printed part of a die cut. The gel pad can be used for various applications such as a non-slip pad, a gel picture frame, and window clings. The process involves making a gel pad with a decorative and photo border, printing the image on a release film, and transferring it onto the surface of the gel picture frame before applying a top coat for protection. The invention also includes the use of luminescent, fluorescent, or thermochromic pigments in both the gel pad and the printing ink.

Problems solved by technology

However, the hydrocarbon gel products do not allow easily for any additional visuals, be it by print.

example 2

[0030]The multicolor screen-printing machine is used to print an image onto the plastic release film. After having the image printed film, the automatic heat transfer machine is used to transfer the printing image to the gel products. A composition of formulation in accordance with the invention may be prepared by dispensing or injecting TPR gel into a shaped mould. The gel was allowed to set inside the mould at room temperature; and no further handling of the product is necessary. Preferably the picture frame is formed into an aesthetically eye catching shape.

[0031]The invention has been described herein with the reference to certain preferred embodiments. It is understood that obvious variants thereon will become apparent to those skilled in the art. The invention is not to be considered as limited thereto.

Abstract

The present invention relates to provide a gel pad which includes non slip gel pad, decal gel picture frame and window cling. The invention also provides a decorative printing on a surface of gel pad picture frame. The printing methods can be pad printing, or screen-printing, digital printing and heat transfer printing. After die cut the designed shape from non slip gel pad, the picture frame body is constructed polymeric gel materials and is shaped to define a center opening in which the photograph is positioned. The part of die cut shape is a window cling. A process for making a gel picture frame includes the step of die-cut of a design shape from thermoplastic rubber flat sheet, printing a art design to surface of a design shape TPR sheet, finally a top coated was applied to protect the printing image. The image printing methods can be transfer printing, pad printing, screen printing, digital printing and hand painting. Pad printing, screen-printing, or spray coating can be used for the top coated.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]A variety of hydrocarbon gel products are on the market. There are used mostly for toys, novelty, gifts, window cling, and decorative ornaments. The customers are particularly attractive by the hydrocarbon gel products due to its features of soft, clear, stretchable, and removable. However, the hydrocarbon gel products do not allow easily for any additional visuals, be it by print. Much of this may be related to the nature of the gel product in surface structure containing mineral oil. It would be quite desirable to provide a way of printed detail graphic into hydrocarbon gel product, without reducing the amount of surface area that contributes to traction of these gel products by addition of an ink printed surface areas. Additionally, the careful selection of the composition of gel products has related the good adhesion between ink film and surface of the gel products.[0002]The present invention relates to a process of making and printing a non slip...
