Flexible material for surface adhesive rule

Abstract

A flexible material that comprises one or more types of polymers and may be used for drawing surface-adhesive rules having a pre-defined cross-section profile. Wherein the flexible material has attribute to reserve a shape of a profile of an orifice through which it is deposited from.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0025]The novel surface-adhesive-rule technology (SART) enables the manufacture of a complete surface-adhesive-rule die with the creation of its surface-adhesive rules (SAR) by one machine. Thus, advantageously, utilizing the SART alleviates the requirement for complex operation between different companies. Furthermore, another advantage of the surface-adhesive-rule technology (SART) is that it may be fully automatic and controlled by a computer, for example. Thus, no skilled craftsmen (specialists) are required in the manufacturing of a die. In addition, the surface-adhesive-rule technology (SART) alleviates the need for warehouse space because the layout and all information related to the surface-adhesive-rule die may be stored on a computer or other storing medium such as CDROM, flash disc, etc. Thus the novel surface-adhesive-rule technology (SART) advantageously provides a low-cost, easy to use, friendly to the environment, and a shortened lead-time for production of a full surface-adhesive-rule die and counter die.

[0062]The nozzle of the drawing-head may have one or more orifices. The orifice may determine the surface-adhesive rule profile / shape or may be selected to obtain a desired profile / shape. The orifice may be located at the bottom of the nozzle, at the side of the nozzle, on an edge of the nozzle, or a combination of multiple placements, etc. In exemplary embodiments, the nozzle may be quickly and easily disassembled or detached from the drawing-head and a different nozzle may be assembled or attached to the drawing-head. The inside of the nozzle and / or orifice may have a coating that operates to reject or repel the flexible material. Advantageously, this characteristic helps to prevent clogging or blockage, either partial or complete, of the orifice. The shape and placement of the orifice may be determined according to different criteria. Exemplary criteria may include, but is not limited to: adhesive requirements of the SAR to the surface of the SARD's body; the drawing-termination technique used; the required surface-adhesive rule profile; and so on.

Problems solved by technology

Without the ejection rubber the cardboard may tend to get stuck amongst the steel rules.
