Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decorative items, and more particularly to a composite sandwich badge. Background Technology

[0002] As a common decorative item, the fineness of the badge's manufacturing process directly affects its aesthetics and practicality. In traditional badge production, fixing the pattern or color layer to the metal surface using pressure is a crucial step. However, this process often results in unevenness, which not only diminishes the badge's overall visual appeal but also impacts its market competitiveness.

[0003] Unevenness can occur for several reasons. Firstly, minute imperfections or stains on the metal surface can prevent the layer material from spreading evenly during the pressing process. Secondly, uneven pressure distribution or improper control of the pressing speed by the pressing machinery can cause localized accumulation or stretching of the layer material. Furthermore, uneven texture and thickness of the layer material itself can also lead to unevenness during pressing.

[0004] To address this issue, the industry has tried various methods, including improving metal surface treatment processes to enhance their smoothness, optimizing the design of pressing machinery to ensure uniform pressure, and developing more refined coating materials. However, these methods often increase production costs and their effectiveness remains somewhat limited.

[0005] Therefore, in order to address the problem of uneven layer pressing in badge production, there is an urgent need for a new technology that can both ensure a smooth badge surface and be economical and practical, while ensuring the uniform spreading of the layer material during the pressing process, so as to ultimately achieve efficient and high-quality badge production. Utility Model Content

[0006] One advantage of this invention is that it provides a composite sandwich badge, wherein the composite support layer enables the surface of the pattern layer to form a fuller curvature. The optimized curved surface shape not only enhances the three-dimensional effect of the composite sandwich badge, but also improves its aesthetics and decorative effect.

[0007] Another advantage of this invention is that it provides a composite sandwich badge, wherein the composite support layer effectively balances the pressure distribution during the manufacturing process of the composite sandwich badge. By adding the support structure of the composite support layer between the badge body and the pattern layer, greater deformation can be generated in areas with greater stress, while less deformation occurs in areas with less stress, thereby ensuring the uniform display of the entire pattern layer, significantly reducing unevenness, and improving the overall visual effect of the composite sandwich badge.

[0008] Another advantage of this invention is that it provides a composite sandwich badge, wherein the sandwich structure of the composite support layer effectively buffers the direct pressure between the pattern layer and the metal contact surface, reducing material damage caused by uneven pressure. This buffering mechanism avoids wrinkles and cracks in the pattern layer, thereby improving the overall durability and service life of the composite sandwich badge.

[0009] Another advantage of this invention is that it provides a composite sandwich badge, wherein the composite support layer makes the surface of the composite sandwich badge softer to the touch, reduces the feeling of hard metal, and increases the comfort when touching it.

[0010] Another advantage of this invention is that it provides a composite sandwich badge, wherein the design of the composite support layer optimizes the surface curvature of the composite sandwich badge, which can improve the gloss distribution of the surface of the composite sandwich badge, so that the composite sandwich badge can present a better light effect when viewed from different angles, further enhancing the uniqueness and recognizability of the composite sandwich badge.

[0011] Another advantage of this invention is that it provides a composite sandwich badge, wherein the composite support layer is attached to the badge body, which can isolate moisture in the air and chemicals that may cause corrosion, help reduce corrosion caused by sweat or other bodily secretions, and increase the service life of the composite sandwich badge.

[0035] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the elements may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] Reference Appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, a composite sandwich badge of this utility model is illustrated. The composite sandwich badge 1 includes a pattern layer 10, a composite support layer 11, a badge body 12, and a backing paper 13. The pattern layer 10 covers the composite support layer 11 on the badge body 12, and the backing paper 13 is sandwiched between the pattern layer 10 and the composite support layer 11, maintaining a tight fit. This keeps the surface of the pattern layer 10 flat and forms a fuller curve, avoiding wrinkles. Consequently, the surface of the composite sandwich badge 1 has a softer feel and can also optimize the surface gloss effect.

[0038] The badge body 12 includes an arc-shaped upper cover 123 and a bottom cover 122. The edge of the arc-shaped upper cover 123 is folded inward at a certain angle, and the edge of the bottom cover 122 extends outward at an obtuse angle to engage with the edge of the arc-shaped upper cover 123. A slot 121 is formed between the edges of the arc-shaped upper cover 123 and the bottom cover 122. The slot 121 is located close to the edges of the arc-shaped upper cover 123 and the bottom cover 122, and is continuously arranged around the edge of the arc-shaped upper cover 123.

[0039] The curved top cover 123 is generally circular, with an upward arch from the center. The bottom cover 122 is matched with the curved top cover 123, so that the edges of the curved top cover 123 can be pressed inward to fasten the bottom cover 122 during processing. The curved top cover 123 and the bottom cover 122 are made of metal to maintain a stable shape and facilitate daily carrying. Those skilled in the art should understand that the materials used to manufacture the curved top cover 123 and the bottom cover 122 include, but are not limited to, the materials listed above, and may also be other metal materials. In addition, the overall shape of the curved top cover 123 may also be square or rectangular, including but not limited to the shapes listed above.

[0040] The bottom cover 122 may also be provided with a fastener for fixing the composite sandwich badge 1 to other items. The fastening method may be a pin, magnet, clip or buckle, etc. Those skilled in the art should understand that the methods of fixing the composite sandwich badge 1 to other objects include but are not limited to the fastening methods listed above.

[0041] The pattern layer 10 can employ a wide range of pattern designs, including popular anime IPs, movie themes, artworks, corporate logos, cultural and creative products, etc. This diverse range of designs allows the pattern layer 10 to transcend different markets and cultures. The pattern layer 10 can be made of transparent materials, such as transparent plastic or resin, which creates a unique visual effect for the composite sandwich badge 1. The transparent pattern layer 10 not only enhances the badge's aesthetics but also allows for varied visual effects from different viewing angles through light refraction and reflection. Furthermore, transparent materials can be combined with other materials, such as colored layers or metallic films, to enhance visual depth and richness. Similarly, the pattern layer 10 can be highly customized and personalized, meaning consumers can not only choose existing anime IP patterns but also customize unique designs according to their personal preferences, thus satisfying the demand for personalized products.

[0042] The edge of the pattern layer 10 can be engaged and embedded in the slot 121, and pressed against the edge of the bottom cover 122 by the edge of the arc-shaped top cover 123, thereby firmly fixing the pattern layer 10 and further ensuring the surface of the pattern layer 10 is flat.

[0043] The backing paper 13 is located below the pattern layer 10 and is closely attached to the lower surface of the pattern layer 10. It is understood that the pattern design on the pattern layer 10 may have varying degrees of transparency, allowing the backing paper 13 to be seen through the transparent portions. The backing paper 13 is a material with special optical effects; its most notable feature is that its surface produces a brilliant luster under light. The backing paper 13 can be any of the following: silver glitter paper, gold glitter paper, cross-shaped laser paper, double-flash paper, laser dot paper, etc. Those skilled in the art should understand that the optical effects of the backing paper 13 can be, but are not limited to, the types listed above, and can also be other readily available and achievable types, thereby enhancing the pattern layer 10 and making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0044] The edge of the base paper 13 can also be engaged and embedded in the slot 121, and is pressed against the edge of the bottom cover 122 by the edge of the arc-shaped top cover 123, thereby firmly fixing the base paper 13. In other words, the pattern layer 10 covers the base paper 13, and the edges of the pattern layer 10 and the base paper 13 are fixed by the slot 121, thereby further ensuring the surface of the pattern layer 10 is flat.

[0045] In particular, the composite support layer 11 includes an interlayer 110 and flexible plastic layers 111 located on both sides of the interlayer 110. The flexible plastic layers 111 and the interlayer 110 form a sandwich structure to fill the space between the pattern layer 10 and the badge body 12.

[0046] It is understood that the diameter of the flexible plastic layer 111 can be the same as that of the interlayer 110 or larger than that of the interlayer 110. That is, the edges of the two flexible plastic layers 111 are connected to each other, and the interlayer 110 is enclosed in the space between the flexible plastic layers 111.

[0047] The interlayer 110 can be made of any of the following materials: sponge, PE foam, EVA foam double-sided adhesive, or PU foam. These materials all have good elasticity and cushioning properties, which can effectively absorb external pressure and effectively balance the pressure distribution during the manufacturing process of the composite interlayer badge 1. It can produce greater deformation in areas with greater stress, while the deformation is smaller in areas with less stress, thereby ensuring the uniform display of the entire pattern layer 10, significantly reducing unevenness, and improving the overall visual effect of the composite interlayer badge 1.

[0048] The interlayer 110 also effectively buffers the direct pressure between the pattern layer 10 and the arc-shaped top cover 123, reducing material damage caused by uneven pressure. This buffering mechanism avoids wrinkles and cracks in the pattern layer 10, thereby improving the overall durability and service life of the composite interlayer badge 1.

[0049] The thickness of the interlayer 110 is set between 0.1 mm and 1 mm, which ensures sufficient support while avoiding the badge from being too thick overall.

[0050] The flexible plastic layer 111 can be made of one of the following materials: PE film, ABS, TPU, PVC, TPE, or TPR. These materials share the characteristics of good flexibility and durability, and can maintain stability in different environments. At the same time, the flexible plastic layer 111 can also isolate moisture in the air and chemicals that may cause corrosion, reduce direct contact with the skin, help reduce corrosion caused by sweat or other bodily secretions, and increase the service life of the composite sandwich badge 1.

[0051] The thickness of the flexible plastic layer is between 0.01 mm and 0.05 mm, which is thin enough to maintain good transparency and lightness, while being strong enough to protect the internal structure.

[0052] The two sides of the composite support layer 11 using the flexible plastic layer 111 are smoother, especially under the support of the interlayer 110, making it easier to fit tightly to the base paper 13 and the arc-shaped top cover 123, so that the surface of the pattern layer 10 forms a fuller arc. The optimized curved surface shape not only enhances the three-dimensional effect of the composite interlayer badge 1, but also improves its aesthetics and decorative effect.

[0053] Reference Appendix Figure 3This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the composite support layer 11 under the pressure of the pattern layer 10. As shown in the figure, when the pattern layer 10 and the base paper 13 are installed on the arc-shaped top cover 123, the top of the arc-shaped top cover 123 experiences a smaller force, the composite support layer 11 experiences a smaller force, and the deformation of the composite support layer 11 is smaller. Because the edge of the arc-shaped top cover 123 tends to taper downwards, when the pattern layer 10 is taut, the pattern layer 10 experiences a greater force on the edge of the arc-shaped top cover 123, the composite support layer 11 experiences a greater force, and the interlayer 110 experiences greater deformation. In other words, by adding the support structure of the composite support layer 11 between the pattern layers 10, a larger deformation can be generated in areas with greater force, while the deformation is smaller in areas with less force. This ensures the uniform display of the entire pattern layer 10, significantly reduces unevenness, and improves the overall visual effect of the composite interlayer badge.

[0054] Furthermore, the flexible plastic layer 111 can be made into different colors as needed, by adding different color dyes during the manufacturing process. This color customization not only increases the appearance diversity of the composite sandwich badge 1, but also allows for personalized design based on different event themes or brand logos, further expanding the scope of application of the composite sandwich badge 1.

[0055] Reference Appendix Figure 4 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a composite sandwich badge according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the above embodiments, the composite sandwich badge 1A does not have the base paper 13 as described in the first embodiment. That is, the composite sandwich badge 1A includes a pattern layer 10A, a composite support layer 11A, and a badge body 12A. The pattern layer 10A covers the composite support layer 11A and is tightly fitted to the badge body 12A. The composite support layer 11A includes a sandwich layer 110A and flexible plastic layers 111A located on both sides of the sandwich layer 110A. The flexible plastic layers 111A and the sandwich layer 110A form a sandwich structure, thereby filling the space between the pattern layer 10A and the badge body 12A, thus keeping the surface of the pattern layer 10A flat and forming a fuller curvature, avoiding wrinkles, and making the surface of the composite sandwich badge 1A softer to the touch, and also optimizing the surface gloss effect.

[0056] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
