Description

ILLUSION-BASED FORM WITH LACQUER-BASED ENGRAVING ON A MIRROR SURFACE. PRODUCTION METHOD Technical Area This invention creates a pattern on the mirror surface by applying lacquer (acid-resistant paint) to achieve a glazed finish. creating unique illusion effects by dissolving the surface in a nitric acid bath It relates to a form production method aimed at... Previous Technique The shaping and decorative processing of mirror surfaces has been a part of glassmaking throughout history. It has been applied in various ways in the fields of arts and surface decoration. Existing Techniques generally include traditional engraving methods, sandblasting, laser engraving, and simple lacquer. This was achieved through various applications. Traditional etching processes involve mechanical or chemical etching (acid etching) of the glass surface. It is based on the principle of mattifying the surface or removing material from it. Sandblasting is a process where a mirror or glass surface is treated with abrasive material under high pressure. It is the roughening of the surface. While density and depth control are possible, delicate lines and sufficient finesse for illusion-based details, especially in reflection-matte transitions. It may be difficult to provide. Laser engraving transfers highly precise patterns onto the reflective layer on the back of the mirror. It allows for the application of laser engraving. However, laser engraving generally does not produce a clear line or area. It is a process where the lacquer on the surface is protective, reflective, and especially enhances the sense of "depth". It does not include the ability to manage. Decorative lacquers or paints can be applied directly to the mirror surface. This technique makes the mirror reflective. It adds a layer to the surface, but forms the basis of the illusion-based form, however the principle of controlled abrasion and interaction with the reflective surface of the mirror It does not contain. 1 Document US6542320B1 describes a lacquer-based engraving on the glazed surface behind the mirror. the aim is to give an aged look to unpainted glazed surfaces during the process It was mentioned that it could be destroyed with chemical solvents. Document US2807111A describes the desired shape for creating decorative mirrors. After its formation, it involves obtaining a glassy appearance using a chemical stripper. The method and its effectiveness have been discussed. Purposes of the Invention The aim of this invention is to create a pattern on the mirror surface by applying lacquer, thereby making the glazed surface nitrile. a method aimed at creating unique illusion effects by dissolving it in an acid bath It is the development of form production. Furthermore, the invention enables the production of forms on a mirror surface without any physical etching. It aims to... Detailed Description of the Invention The invention concerns the form production method. - Drawing patterns on the mirror-glazed surface using lacquer (acid-resistant paint), - drying of the drawn lacquer, - placing the dried mirror in a bath containing nitric acid and water, - Dissolving the unlacquered areas removes the glazed layers and exposes the underlying glass surface. removal, - Enhancing the process with engraving and coloring where necessary. It includes the steps involved in the process. The desired pattern can be drawn onto the mirror-glazed surface using a brush, screen printing, dipping, or thin layer. The varnish is applied using delicate drawing tools such as mechanical pencils. The illusion effect is intended. For this, the precision of the drawn pattern, line thicknesses, and shading are determined according to the pattern. The lacquer layer hardens and adheres completely to the surface upon contact with abrasive liquid. The drying process is carried out to prevent it from dissolving or peeling. 2 After the mirror dries, the drawn surface will come into contact with the acid solution. It is carefully placed in a bath containing nitric acid and a specified ratio of water. Glazed To ensure the layer dissolves quickly and cleanly, the bath temperature is also kept under control. It can be held. In the bathing process, the reflective glaze layer and protective coating in all areas not protected by lacquer. The paint layer is completely dissolved, revealing the transparent glass surface underneath. The resulting glass surface can be subjected to additional mechanical or chemical etching processes as desired. It can be subjected to various treatments (e.g., sandblasting or acid etching). This process enhances the illusion-based form. It allows a different texture or a layer of translucency to be added to some parts. After the coloring process, an illusion-based mirror form is obtained. 3
