    Abstract: The surface of an article, such as a glass envelope for an electric lamp, is provided with a decorative pattern or indicia by coating the article with a vitreous material that includes a substance (such as lead oxide) that undergoes a permanent change in color when heated under reducing conditions, subjecting the article to a laser beam and a reducing gas flame, and varying the position of the article relative to the beam at a speed and in a manner such that the beam scans the article and thereby melts preselected portions of the vitreous coating and changes the color of such portions. In the case of a vitreous or ceramic article that is susceptible to thermally-induced fracturing, the vitreous coating material is preferably deposited on the article in the form of a frit and the article is preheated to a temperature which is near or above its strain point, thus fusing the frit in place just before the glazed heated article is exposed to the reducing environment and laser beam. An apparatus and method for concurrently firing a glass frit on an article and color-etching the resulting glazed article with a laser having control means which includes a prototype article are also disclosed.

    Abstract translation: 物品的表面,例如用于电灯的玻璃封套的表面,通过用包括经历永久变色的物质(例如氧化铅)的玻璃质材料涂覆制品而设置有装饰图案或标记, 在还原条件下加热,使制品经受激光束和还原气体火焰,并以一定速度和方式改变制品相对于光束的位置,使得光束扫描物品,从而熔化物品的预选部分 玻璃质涂层并改变这些部分的颜色。 在易受热诱导破裂的玻璃质或陶瓷制品的情况下,玻璃质涂料优选以玻璃料的形式沉积在制品上,并将制品预热至接近或高于其应变点的温度 ,因此在玻璃加热制品暴露于还原环境和激光束之前将玻璃料熔化在适当位置。
