Abstract

The present invention relates to a soap, being any cleansing bar and being imprinted one one side with an image, said image being imprinted on a thin film, which film is optionally provided on one side with gluing means or optionally covered by a suitable material. The gluing means are, for example, acrylic glues, emulsive glues and latex. Covering means are preferably a thin wax layer. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of said soap.

Description

The present invention relates to.a soap with an imprinted image (as herein defined).
The image in connection with this means a drawing, a picture, a sign, etc.
The soap in connection with the present invention means any cleansing bar, i.e. a soap proper, a so-called saapless soap, etc.
In many instances it is desirable to have imprinted on the soap same image which may be a picture of a hotel distri-buring the soap, same propaganda slogan, and the like.
So far there has not been known any snap and/or method far its preparation in which said image is maintained while the soap is being used.
It was therefore desirable to design such a snap and a method for its preparation. Such soap should be relatively cheap and easy to manufacture.
The presewt invention 'thus consists in a soap imprinted an one side with an image (as herein defined), said image being imprinted an a thin film, which film is optionally provided on the bottom with gluing means, or optionally covered by a suitable material.
The film being used far imprinting thereon may be any suitable this layer of material, such as paper, aluminium, copper or golden foil, etc.; cellophane, cellulose acetate;
polycarbonate; certain fabrics; and certain plastic materials, e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), certain polyesters and the like, on which a picture can be printed and/or drawn and which is compatible with the soap to be used.
The gluing means, if present, may, far example, be acrylic glues, latex, etc.
Preferred covering means are a thin wax layer.

.. -A wax in connection with the present invention means any hardened wax which is compatible with soap and with the film, and water reaecting. As suitable waxes there may be used, for example, beeswax, e.g. cera alba, cera balena and the like; carnaba wax; paraffin wax; hardened white ail and the like.
However, also other covering means may be utilized, as becomes apparent, for example, from same of the samples.
' Said other covering means are preferably water resistant but to a lesser extent than the soap utilized. They may even be another soap.
The present invention consists also in a method for the manufacture of the above soap, comprising preparing snap bars of the desired size, fixing thereon the imprinting film and, if desired, covering said bar with a layer of suitable covering means.
The fixation of the imprinted film on the bar is per-farmed, far example, by way of stamping in commercially available machines, known in the art, e.g. sa-called SAS
machine of Thomas Mariana. Should the film be provided with gluing means the film may be fixed in a similar manner.
Usually in this case no covering means will be applied.
The soap is covered, if desired, with the wax, pre-ferably by moving the imprinted bar below a device in which the wax has been liquefied by heating, advantageously to about 50-60aC, and covering said bar with the desired quantity of wax, which hardens after a very chart time. Said device is suitably provided with a timer, ascertaining that the desired amount of wax is applie~f in the period in which the bar. passes below the device.
The amount of wax required varies in accordance with the size of the bar, the wax utilized, etc. It should be sufficient that the wax should give a sufficiently thick layer, e.g. of about 100 microns.
In a similar manner also other suitable covering means are affixed.

~~~~~0~

Any commercially available soap may be utilised. The size and thickness may be varied in accordance with the requirements of the customer. very suitable are the bars having the size of the bars used in the hotels.
The present invention will now be illustrated with reference to the following examples, without being restricted by same.
Example 1:
A natural herbal soap was covered with a thin layer of paper imprinted with a picture by stamping in a SAS machine.
Thereafter the imprinted bar was covered with a liquefied care alba wax previously heated to 55°C by passing it below an adequate device.
Example 2:
In the same manner as described in Example 1, soap bars having the following soaps were prepared:
a. Natural herbal soap Imprinted cellophane Paraffin wax b. Natural Dead Sea mineral soap Imprinted polyethylene Carnoba wax c. Natural Dead Sea mineral soap Imprinted polyvinyl acetate Cera-balena d. Soapless soap (Neca 7) Imprinted cellulose acetate - Paraffin wax e. Soap based on animal fats (tallow fatty acids) Imprinted fabric Hardened white oil Example 3:
In a manner similar to that described in Example 1, but without the covering step, the following soaps were prepared:
a. Soapless soap (Neca 7/Hawai Chemen) Imprinted paper Polyethylene glycol (P.E.G. No. 8000) b. Soap based an glycerine fats Imprinted polyvinyl alcohol Nonylphenol 12 Mol Example 4:
In a manner similar to that described in Example 1, substituting the wax by other covering means and by adequate conditions, the following soaps were prepared:
a. Soap based on animal fats (tallow fatty acids) Imprinted cellophane covered at the bottom with an acrylic glue b. Mineral soap Imprinted gold foil covered at the bottom with an emulsive glue c. Natural black mud soap imprinted fabric covered at the bottom with latex.

Claims (5)

1. A method of affixing a selected image to a bar of cleansing soap so that the image is maintained on the soap bar while the soap is being used, including the steps of (a) selecting a thin film imprinted on one side with the selected image and applying the image-bearing thin film to one surface of the soap bar;
(b) fixing the thin film to the surface of the soap by stamping in a soap-stamping machine;
(c) heating a quick-hardening water-resistant coating material selected among beeswax, cera alba, cera balena and the like; carnoba wax; paraffin wax, hardened white oil, compatible with both the thin film and the soap to a temperature of 50-60°C so that the coating material is liquified, wherein the stamped image-bearing soap bar is passed under a heating device for a period of time sufficient to apply, over the image-bearing surface of the soap bar, a layer of coating material about 100 m thick; and (d) removing the coated soap bar from under the heating device to permit the layer of coating material to harden over the stamped image.
2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the thin film is selected from fabric, paper, aluminium foil, copper foil, gold foil, cellophane, cellulose acetate, polycarbonate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloride and polyester.
3. A method according to claim 1 wherein the coating material is selected from cera alba wax, cera balena wax, carnoba wax, hardened white oil, polyethylene gylcol and nonylphenol.
4. A method according to claim 2 wherein the coating material is selected from cera alba wax, cera balena wax, carnoba wax, hardened white oil, polyethylene gylcol and nonylphenol.
5. A method according to claim 1, claim 2 or claim 3 wherein the soap is selected from natural herbal soaps, glycerine fats soaps and mud-containing soaps.
