摘要:
An article forming system for forming at least one sheet of material into an article, such as a decorative flower pot cover for example, and a novel article formed utilizing such a system. The article forming system includes a male die, a female die and a platform having a support surface and an opening extending through the support surface. The female die is disposed generally within the opening in the platform with the upper end of the female die being disposed near the support surface. The article forming system includes means for slidingly holding portions of the sheet of material generally against portions of the support surface while permitting such held portions to slide on the support surface during the forming of the article for cooperating in forming a decorative border on the decorative flower pot cover type of article which flares generally away from the flower pot object when the decorative flower pot cover article is applied to the flower pot. The article formed in accordance with the present invention includes overlapping folds formed by overlapping portions of the sheet of material to bring portions of the sheet of material into bondable contact, the overlapping folds providing the mechanical strength necessary for the formed sheet of material to hold a predetermined shape thereby permitting the utilization of thinner sheets of material to form articles.

A one-way see-through panel assembly enhanced by a retroreflective surface. The panel assembly has a first panel which has a dark light-absorbing surface and an opposite light reflecting surface. A retroreflective sheet is applied over the light reflecting surface to form an assembly. Light passageways, either perforations or a pattern of discrete transparent areas, are provided in the assembly. An image is imprinted on either the surface of the retroreflective panel or the light reflecting surface. The method includes mechanically perforating the assembly which is facilitated by the retroreflective sheet having non-glass reflective formations thereon.

A breathable packaging material used for packaging items, such as floral groupings, flower pots, fresh produce, food, medical supplies/equipment, pharmaceutical products, and the like, thereby forming a breathable package for containing said items. The breathable packaging material comprises a sheet of material having controlled atmosphere characteristics, and having a desiccant and/or an antimicrobial agent. Methods for using breathable packaging material.

An improved process for the transfer of a holographic image from a conventional polymeric support to a tissue paper substrate at reduced temperatures is described in this invention. A host of images may be envisioned and since this image, on tissue paper substrate, may then be wound up in a roll, it can be used within the paper industry for a host of processes such as in the wrapping of candies, gums, gifts and the like. This element and process permits the wide spread use of such holographic images, such use not being available until now. The holographic image is improved over that transferred at a somewhat higher temperature range.

Methods of forming decorative elements such as decorative grass and glitter possessing a unique optical effect from a laminated sheet of optical effect material. The decorative elements have a curl or a crimp set therein to enhance the light-reflecting characteristics of the decorative elements and to provide greater volume of the decorative elements for a given weight of decorative elements.

Optical arrangements are provided by which observers of flat containers or display boxes, such as compact disc (CD) jewel boxes, can be presented with different information about the contents of the box when looking at one of its surfaces from different angular perspectives. Advantageously, parallax effects are compensated where the size of the observable images and the viewing distance create undesirable visual artifacts. Horizontally and vertically oriented lenticulated panels are used in combination with interlaced images to convey the differently coded views without the need for physically manipulating such boxes as in the past to see equivalent information. Compliant inserts preferably provide the information content of the various views and are adapted for use with industry automated insert machinery while being self aligning with the lenticulated panels. These arrangements enhance the possibilities for displaying more and different kinds of information on a given box surface area compared with conventional approaches, and as such, enhance the prospects for increasing initial and multiple sales of CD products.

An ultraviolet enhanced oil painting includes a plurality of sequentially disposed layers of oil based paints. At least one of the layers includes a transparent, ultraviolet enhanced, luminescent pigment mixed with the paint prior to layering. The ultraviolet enhanced paint layer produces a luminescent effect when subject to light. The painting exhibits one visible characteristic when subjected to ambient light conditions and exhibits at least one different visible characteristic when subjected to ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet enhanced paint layer can be disposed over the non-enhanced paint layer, the ultraviolet enhanced paint layer can be disposed between a backing media, such as a canvas and the non-enhanced paint layer, and the ultraviolet enhanced paint layer can be disposed between layers of the non-enhanced paint. A method of creating an ultraviolet enhanced oil painting includes sequentially disposing a plurality of layers of oil based paints onto a backing media such as a canvas. At least one of the layers includes a transparent, ultraviolet enhanced, luminescent pigment mixed with the paint prior to layering.

An improved display product and method of making a display wherein a perforated panel is provided with layers of paint which are kept on the panel. Thus, a sign painter can have a wide latitude of designs which can be applied to see-through graphics. The resulting product can be opaque to an observer looking from one side of a display product yet the observer is able to see through the product from the other side of the product. A window to be provided with a display product is masked with masking paper and masking tape to cover the exposed parts. A perforated panel is cut to fit the window and attached over the masking paper and the masking tape. The perforated panel is painted with an image that is desired.
