摘要:
Forming a colored shade band on an elongated area of a flexible sheet of interlayer material comprising applying a dye composition by electrostatic spraying against a portion of a surface of a flexible sheet of non-conductive interlayer material such as polyurethane or plasticized polyvinyl butyral. A novel grounded shielding structure of electroconductive material comprises a primary shield located in close proximity to the upper surface of a workpiece to be partially coated. A preferred embodiment comprises primary and secondary shields with an optional manifold between the shields to ensure superior control of a pattern of graded intensity along the transverse dimension of an elongated area to be coated. One or both shields may be heated to avoid the deposit of spray particles that cause optical defects. The workpiece so coated is useful as an interlayer in shaded, bent laminated safety glass windshields.

This invention relates to a method of and apparatus for forming a colored shade band on an elongated area of a flexible sheet of interlayer material comprising applying a dye composition by electrostatic spraying against an elongated area of a surface of a flexible sheet of non-conductive interlayer material such as polyurethane or plasticized polyvinyl butyral. A flexible sheet to be coated is mounted on a support carriage at a loading and unloading chamber in a substantially horizontal support plane, is transferred to a coating chamber, is tilted into an oblique plane at said coating chamber where it is aligned with a platen mask, electrostatic spray means disposed to one side of said platen mask supplies an electrostatic spray of a dye composition through said platen mask to the elongated area of said flexible sheet. The coated sheet pivots back to a substantially horizontal support plane and is returned to the loading and unloading station, where the coated flexible sheet is removed and another sheet mounted for treatment. The flexible sheet so coated is useful as an interlayer in shaded, bent laminated safety glass windshields.

A method is disclosed for improving the uniformity and durability of a pyrolytically deposited metal oxide film on glass by cooling the coating solution and/or the atomizing air prior to the application of the coating composition to the hot glass surface.
摘要:
A method of forming a colored shade band having a relatively wide portion of essentially uniform intensity and a relatively narrow boundary portion of graded intensity by spraying a dye composition along a longitudinally extending edge portion of a non-electroconductive substrate such as a glass sheet or a sheet of plastic. In one embodiment of this invention, the substrate is sprayed to form the graded band and then laminated to a layer of plastic interlayer material to produce a laminated window having a shade band having a desired transverse pattern of graded intensity along a longitudinally extending edge portion thereof. After the dye composition is applied to a sheet of rigid transparent material to form the band, the coated sheet is assembled with the band facing a layer of interlayer material to form a sandwich to be laminated, the band is transferred from the sheet to the layer during lamination and forms a continuous looking band free of any disturbing features such as mottled appearance and having a boundary along a smooth line and a pattern of intensity similar to that of the colored shade band initially developed. In another aspect of this invention, the graded band is applied electrostatically to either the interlayer sheet or to the rigid transparent layer under special conditions that results in a gradation of the coating.
