METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PRESS-BONDED SHEET AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18622053 titled 'METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PRESS-BONDED SHEET AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: Press-bonded sheets, such as crimped postcards, are created by laminating an adhesive layer onto a toner image on a base sheet, then pressing together this composite layer with another composite layer under heat.
- The patent involves the manufacturing process of press-bonded sheets like crimped postcards.
- It includes forming a composite layer with an adhesive laminated onto a toner image on a base sheet.
- The process also involves pressing together this composite layer with another composite layer, either on the same sheet or a different sheet.
- The key innovation lies in the difference in solubility parameter (SP value) between the printing toner and the powder adhesive, which must be 1.0 (cal/cm) or more.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in the production of various printed materials such as postcards, greeting cards, and other decorative items.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for a reliable and efficient method of creating press-bonded sheets with a strong bond between the toner image and the adhesive layer.
Benefits: The benefits of this technology include enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal of printed materials, as well as improved efficiency in the manufacturing process.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be applied in the printing and stationery industry for the production of high-quality, visually appealing printed materials.
Questions about Press-Bonded Sheets: 1. How does the difference in solubility parameter between the toner and adhesive affect the bonding process?
- The difference in solubility parameter ensures a strong bond between the toner image and the adhesive layer, resulting in durable press-bonded sheets.
2. What are some common uses of press-bonded sheets in the commercial market?
- Press-bonded sheets are commonly used for producing postcards, greeting cards, and other decorative printed materials in the commercial market.
Original Abstract Submitted
Press-bonded sheets such as a crimped post card are manufactured by forming a composite layer of an adhesive layer laminated on a toner image formed on a base sheet, then opposing the composite layer and another composite layer formed on the same sheet or a different sheet, and press-bonding the opposed composite layers under heat. The difference in solubility parameter (SP value) between the printing toner and the powder adhesive is 1.0 (cal/cm)or more.
